Michelle Hunt

Since I can remember, I have had an interest in learning about people, what they like, what makes them happy, and how they perceive the world around them. I had the opportunity to see how beneficial self-discovery is, and this fueled my passion to enter into the mental health field.

My passion, once I began practicing, has been working with eating disorders. I began studying weight perceptions in society for my thesis in graduate school in 2016 and began working with eating disorders in May 2018. I have experience working with clients at outpatient, IOP, PHP and residential settings. My patience, tenacity, and personal approach to every client makes me a strong, supportive, and caring resource to aiding in the care and well-being of my clients.

While working in eating disorders, I became aware of the harm that neurodiverse individuals experience in traditional treatment. I believe in personalized and sustainable approaches that encompass all abilities of individuals. I hope to be a clinician who provides a safe space for clients to explore how neurodiversity impacts their eating disorders, as well as other distressing experiences (including sensory processing, communication, and emotional sensations) that impact neurodivergent individuals daily.
