Subsequently, she secured Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor status and her Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor credential. During her career, Michelle has served as the Clinical Director for Homeward Bound and Phoenix Houses of Texas, Lead Counselor for New Day Counseling, and Director of Residential and Outpatient Services for Daytop Village.
