Michelle Pelle-Davis Counseling
(Current availability for new clients: In-Person sessions in Aurora on Tuesdays at 10am or 11am; and Virtual sessions on Mondays at 11am, 1pm or 2pm, and Fridays at 1pm or 2pm). Wonton (Professionally trained Therapy Dog) & I are so excited you've found us! Are you curious about Animal-Assisted Therapy & connecting with an enthusiastic, loving, compassionate, 8-year-old, yellow lab? It can feel really isolating to struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and/or addiction. On top of that, it can be challenging to connect with people who understand that experience without judgement & can offer appropriate support. Therapy Dogs offer a very unique type of support for mental health: nervous system regulation, somatic processing, grounding skills, relationship skills, general improvements in mood, etc. Wonton & I have been a partnered therapy team since 2018 & we offer a warm, non-judgmental approach to facilitate the challenging work of therapy. We utilize a combination of therapeutic modalities such as Animal-Assisted Therapy, along with CBT, DBT, ACT, Trauma-Focused, & Solution-Focused specialties to support young adults/adults. After my family experienced something traumatic and we went through our own grief and healing journey (ongoing), this experience helped me to relate to a broader range of folks who were also hurting. I became a mental health professional because I love connecting with people and want to help them navigate unique and challenging circumstances. I am passionate about partnering with people who are choosing change and healing in order to discover more about themselves, grow, improve their quality of life and relationships with others. Prior to working in the mental health field, I worked as an Administrative Personnel at a University in Colorado for over 10 years and supported undergraduate and graduate students which allowed me opportunities to witness the unique challenges that students experience. If you are struggling with the stress of meeting new expectations, adjusting to college environments, managing your course load along with other adult responsibilities, trying to find your identity as a young adult, struggling in your relationships, having homesickness, and/or managing an illness(es), then you are not alone in this experience. If you are ready to choose change & healing in order to discover more about yourself, grow, & improve your quality of life & relationships with others, then Wonton & I would love an opportunity to connect & partner with you!

Offering Walk & Talk Therapy — Because You Deserve Space to Breathe. If sitting in an office feels like just one more thing, let’s take therapy outside. Walk and Talk sessions offer space to move, clear your mind, and talk through what’s coming up—without pressure to sit still or have it all together. Feeling forever changed as a new mom (or dad)? You may have expected joy but feel overwhelmed, depleted, or not like yourself. If this resonates, you’re not alone—and support is here when you’re ready. With a specialty in perinatal mental health, I support individuals navigating postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, fertility challenges, grief & loss, identity shifts, and the mental load of parenthood. If being outdoors feels more supportive, I offer Walk & Talk therapy—a chance to move, get fresh air, and take a full breath while working on goals. I provide therapy that is warm, authentic, and empowering, creating space to process the challenges and transitions of parenthood. I believe you carry strength—and that with the right support, healing and growth are possible. I’m here to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself and find your way forward. I look forward to connecting.
