Adrienne Michelle

If you’ve landed here it’s because you are possibly in a space where you are ready to connect some dots. Perhaps its your childhood, or family or current relationship. Whatever it is, you are worthy of making space to process. As you read this, relax your jaw, lower your shoulders and take a deep breath. Here’s a little more about me…

Adrienne Michelle, LMFT, is a queer, black, femme therapist who has been working with clients for over ten years, Licensed in North Carolina, North Carolina. She received her Marriage and Family Therapy degree with a specialization in Sex Therapy from Thomas Jefferson University. Her passion comes from a background in sex education, where the communities’ representation has been very limited; thus, she strives to continuously advocate for positive representation in all areas of sex education.

She has been an educator for the 10 years at several major universities, and has worked with universities such as Thomas Jefferson University, Duke University, and UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Greensboro, during her time in North Carolina. She is now in private practice and the cofounder of Intersections and Diversity Scores.

Individuals

It starts with gratitude for who you are and have been. Utilize individual therapy to move through past trauma, understand how you can better show up, ease anxiety or have accountability.
