Michelle M. Klein, LPC, CCTP, a 2009 graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, is the owner of Michelle Klein Counseling LLC, located in State College, Pennsylvania. She provides holistic counseling and coaching services to adults within Trauma-Informed interventions and therapies such as IFS (Internal Family Systems), Ego-State Parts Work, Somatic and Poly-Vagal Informed Therapy. She particularly enjoys working with young adults transitioning from college to the career world. Within this area she works with students of diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds. She has particular experience with empowering her clients to maneuver the school and employment worlds as a minority, a neuro-diverse learner/thinker and/or a member of the LGBTQ+ community in the manner that is most genuine to themselves. Prior to starting her solo practice in July of 2014, Michelle worked in Community-Based Mental Health as an Outpatient Therapist, an Inpatient Therapist and a Mobile Therapist. Additionally, Michelle worked as a fixed-term School Counselor in the Bald Eagle Area and Penns Valley school districts. Michelle’s philosophy is shaped not only by her training and experience in providing counseling services, but also by her diverse life experience as an advocate and volunteer, and within her first career as a documentary photographer. Michelle is excited and honored to teach the Trauma-Informed Workshop for Rooted in Sound’s School of Sound Medicine. She firmly believes that a Trauma-Informed world is essential to all our futures.
