Mikke Papes

My approach centers clarity, autonomy, and respect—meeting people as they are, not as a diagnosis. I help individuals work through stress, trauma, and overwhelm in a way that’s grounded, compassionate, and practical. The focus is on real, sustainable change—not quick fixes that fade when life gets loud again.

Why Havening matters in how I work
I’ve integrated Havening Techniques® into my practice because it offers a gentle, body-based way to support emotional healing and build resilience. For many, Havening provides a sense of safety and relief that allows them to process difficult experiences without feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It fits seamlessly alongside talk therapy and other approaches, helping people feel more regulated and empowered in their own healing.

For those who feel they’ve outgrown traditional talk therapy but still sense something unresolved, Havening can be especially powerful. It supports deep internal processing, making it particularly effective for thoughtful, analytical individuals who feel they have outgrown talk therapy.

What I bring

• Deep clinical grounding with experience across the full continuum of care

• A commitment to seeing the whole person—not just symptoms

• Practical strategies that turn insight into lasting change

• Compassionate directness: honest conversations that support growth

You’ll find this a good fit if you’re grappling with trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, or relational wounds—and you want more than “feel better for now.” You want tools that stick. You’re tired of feeling like change happens in the office but then life erodes it. We’ll build a path forward you can live by.
