About Michelle Kohut

As a licensed therapist in Nevada, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for clients exploring challenges related to identity, relationships, and personal growth. I bring extensive expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and LGBTQ+ experiences, with a deep commitment to understanding each person’s unique journey.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, focusing on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and work through issues like social anxiety, shame, and life transitions. I’m particularly passionate about supporting individuals dealing with workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and personal identity exploration.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients to develop resilience, build meaningful connections, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether you’re facing challenges related to sexuality, cultural identity, or personal growth, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with respect, understanding, and genuine care.

“After trying therapy once in the past without really feeling like it clicked, working with Michelle has been a completely different experience.<br /> <br /> One of the things I appreciate most is that she truly listens. She gives me the space to “word vomit” everything that’s on my mind without making me feel rushed or judged. Somehow she’s able to take what feels like a hundred scattered thoughts and help me make sense of them.<br /> <br /> What I also value is that she doesn’t just nod along or tell me what I want to hear. When I need to be challenged, she does it thoughtfully and respectfully. She asks the right questions, points out blind spots, and helps me look at situations from perspectives I hadn’t considered. At the same time, she knows when I simply need someone to listen and when the conversation needs a little guidance to stay productive.<br /> <br /> Another thing that has made a big difference is that therapy doesn’t end when the session does. Michelle often gives me practical “homework” or things to reflect on between appointments, which has helped me continue making progress instead of waiting until the next session to pick things back up.<br /> <br /> If you’re looking for a therapist who creates a safe space to be completely honest while also helping you grow, I can’t recommend Michelle enough. She has been an incredible guide in helping me better understand myself, challenge old patterns, and continue moving forward.”

“She’s so sweet and makes me feel really validated.”

“Very kind and patient. Very understanding as well”

“Michelle has been absolutely amazing, she listens and hears what I say but also sees things I don’t and has helped me realize a lot of issues I’ve been having”

“Highly recommend. Has helped me very much.”

“I love her advise and how amazing she is, I have improved so much since I started working on myself with her.💜”

“Michelle was wonderful, she always had new ways or ideas to help me overcome the difficulties in my life. She listened and remembered things from beyond the previous session. Michelle made sure to cover a bigger picture but to also remember the small details that make up the big picture.”

“Michelle Kohut is very knowledgeable and compassionate when helping her clients. She makes you feel comfortable, and is a safe space to speak freely.”

“My therapist Michelle is a great listener and makes wonderful observations that have really helped me with my concerns. I feel very comfortable speaking to her in great depth.”

“My first session with Michelle went very well. I felt comfortable to open up and feel like she will be helpful.”

“I really like how she has listened and recognized that I just needed to talk. I just needed to tell my story and find a way to release this pain/trauma so I can let it go and move on with my life. I feel comfortable with her and I don’t feel judged or criticized. It’s just been refreshing and enlightening. She is awesome!”

“Honestly, the best experience I’ve ever had with therapy. With Michelle, I always feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. She creates such a calm, non-judgmental space where it feels safe to talk about anything without fear of being misunderstood or criticized.<br /> <br /> Michelle has a natural ability to help you see things from new perspectives while remaining kind, patient, and grounded. She doesn’t just listen …. she helps you connect the dots and find real tools to grow and heal. I’ve noticed positive changes not only in how I handle stress and relationships, but also in how I view myself.<br /> <br /> Every session feels meaningful, whether it’s a deep conversation or a small realization that sticks with me afterward. I always leave feeling lighter, more self-aware, and hopeful. I’m genuinely grateful to have found a therapist who brings such compassion, insight, and authenticity to her work.”
