Michelle Martin Hurlbert, MACC, LCMHCS, LPCS

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in North Carolina (S9059) and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in South Carolina (9577). With a master’s degree in Christian Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (2009), I bring over 15 years of experience in empowering individuals through therapeutic interventions.

My practice specializes in adult treatment of trauma, complex trauma, and dissociation, though I assist clients with a broad spectrum of concerns. Drawing on a foundation that integrates psychological principles within a Biblical framework, my approach is influenced by renowned experts including Dan Allender, Sandra Paulsen, Sue Johnson, and Janina Fisher. These influences shape how I engage with clients and the techniques I employ.

I hold advanced certifications including ISSTD's Advanced Certificate in Complex Trauma and Dissociation, Evergreen's Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 (CCTP-II), and EMDRIA's EMDR Certified Therapist credential. These certifications reflect my commitment to delivering evidence-based therapies that facilitate healing.

In addition to my memberships in the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) and the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), I continuously deepen my expertise through ongoing education in brain science, Attachment Theory, ego state therapies, EMDR’s Adaptive Information Processing, and body-based psychotherapies. These frameworks and strategies empower me to effectively address challenging symptoms and support my clients in more healing and growth.

Above all, I am grateful for my clients who entrust me with their inner experiences and allow me the privilege of accompanying them on their healing journeys.
