About me
Have you found that sometimes the world around you just doesn’t make sense anymore? Are you experiencing problems in your relationships, difficulty regulating your emotions, the effects of past or present trauma? Are you feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, stuck, unable to move forward? Do you want to discover the true, authentic you? If this sounds familiar, I want you to know you’re not alone and there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Therapy is a collaborative journey; after all, there is no better expert on you than you! My purpose and passion is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your experiences while providing you the tools to improve your well-being. I am a firm believer that the true therapeutic process happens every day outside of therapy, where you do the work using those tools, building skills, and applying what you’ve learned to your daily life. I've worked with teens in various settings and situations for over ten years, addressing such issues as life transitions, relationships, experiences in the foster care arena, trauma, and identity, including navigating LGBTQ issues arising within families and school settings.
‘Therapist’ is just one of many roles in my life. I am also a mother, partner, friend, life-long learner, and client. I work with adolescents and adults, individually or as a couple/family. My approach is holistic and utilizes various techniques including CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, Solution-Focused, and positive psychology to help you achieve your goals in all 8 dimensions of wellness…
I welcome you to Embrace Wellness and look forward to walking the path to well-being by your side!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mikaela Posekany. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Mikaela is absolutely amazing as t understanding my issues but not making them a 'problem' so much as something that needs to be addressed. I trust her and I have from the first.
Mikaela is an absolute gem. She is kind, non-judgemental, and easy to talk to and I have found it extremely easy to be open and honest with her. At the same time she also challenges me to be consistent in my progress and helps me see and understand things in a much healthier light. So thankful I was matched with her here!
Love her
Mikaela is amazing, she has been the best therapist I ever had. She is understanding and very kind towards me.
She gets it, and does her best to help me and my dumb brain function better.
Mikaela is fantastic! I have learned so many skills, tools, and more about myself!
Mikaela is the best therapist I’ve ever had. It doesn’t feel like I’m talking to a wall, she actively listens and replies to everything I say. She responds to all of my messages based on how I’m feeling, and gives me exercises to help feel better when I’m down. Overall, this is the best therapy experience I’ve had and I can’t wait to keep going and see how much better I’m doing.
Mikaela is a caring listener and has really great instincts about when to challenge and when to support. It's been incredibly beneficial to process through life difficulties with her!
Mikaela has the caring, compassion and knowledge that I look for in a therapist.
Very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding your needs
Mikaela has been a wonderful part of my support system keeping me accountable and giving me the tools to support my own growth. Very productive sessions with practical advice. Has helped me SO much.
Mikaela and I connected so easily. You can tell she is very caring and empathetic. She is a great listener and asks questions to get you really thinking and understanding why you’re feeling a certain way. She also provided tools (book, etc.) outside of counseling. You can tell she is experienced
Mikaela is a very understanding, non judgemental therapist, that really takes the time to understand what you are going through. I contacted Mikaela during a rough couple of weeks where I really needed someone to listen to me and she did all of that and more!
I had doubts about teencounseling.com and how effective online counseling would be but I’ve experienced the utmost professionalism and quality.
I feel as if every video chat I have with Mikaela leaves me feeling refreshed!
I felt better after my first session. Understood my needs from the beginning. Very grateful.
Simply the best!
I have made progress towards my goals and seen improvement in my issues after working with Mikaela. She is a good listener and courageous counselor. She has helped me gain new perspectives and adopt more effective behaviors to deal with my issues.
Insightful, helpful, and very easy to talk to!
I feel incredibly fortunate to have been assigned to Mikaela. We instantly clicked and she has a strong caring approach to our conversations. She is always suggesting new books and themes I otherwise couldn't find on my own. Being my first time in therapy, I was really nervous about getting someone stiff or unemotional and I would have a hard time opening up to someone I have never met, but with Mikaela it's like sitting down with an old friend I've known all my life and we talk about issues and find solutions to my issues. She shows care towards my thoughts and actions even when I can't. She's been a real driving force in my curtain areas on success in life. I can't thank her enough.
Mikaela is a fantastic therapist. She is intelligent and very easy to talk to. In the past I found therapy to be not very helpful but she has changed my mind. She’s fantastic
I really feel like Mikaela listens and tries to focus on what is causing my issues and the best ways to deal with them! She's very friendly and relatable!
Mikaela Posekany is my counselor, and she is amazing. Very compassionate and hears everything you say, which in turn she will provide insight that I didn't think about. She is also the most kind / easy person to talk to I've ever met. Still in the process of my therapy but, even in these early stages I feel welcome and that my voice is being heard. She is definitely a GEM in this community. A+++++++
Mikaele is a very experienced therapist my daughter like her. Hopefully she can talk to her more often
