Introduction

Hi, I’m Michelle Fehlman, LMFT — a psychotherapist, relationship specialist, and founder of Open to Extraordinary. I began my career in 2010 with deep curiosity about people and the belief that healing happens through connection. Over the years, my work has been shaped by my Gestalt training, trauma work, somatic approaches, and my own lived experience. These influences led me to develop Experiential Processing & Integration (EPI), a modality that helps clients access their inner wisdom, heal old patterns, and integrate the parts of themselves that were never met with understanding. I specialize in: • Couples therapy and premarital counseling • Relationship repair and communication • Anxiety, trauma, and emotional dysregulation • Life transitions — including divorce, loss, and identity shifts • Psychedelic-assisted therapy preparation and integration My style is warm, relational, and experiential. Clients often describe our work as grounding, clarifying, and transformative. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully seen, supported, and invited into deeper self-awareness, whether you’re healing past wounds, strengthening your relationship, or returning home to yourself. If you’re looking for a therapist who blends compassion, insight, and experiential practices to help you create meaningful change, I would be honored to work with you.
