Mental Health Resources

One of my driving passions is education. I want to provide you with the tools and resources you need to be successful, healthy, and happy both in and outside of therapy. These mental health resources are available for anyone who needs them whether you are my client or not. If you have any questions about these resources or have suggestions to add, feel free to contact me at: michelle@radicalserenity.com.

Dudley’s Place

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the amazing staff at Dudley’s Place in Huntersville, NC. They provide such an incredible service for those in our community living with HIV. They offer on-site HIV/STI testing, comprehensive HIV education and prevention services, and community events to increase awareness and education in the Charlotte metro area. In addition, they provide a safe, inclusive space for individuals to access mental health counseling and therapy, nutrition and wellness with a registered dietician, community support groups, healthcare access advocacy, and many other resources!

Check them out to see how they can support you!
