Macushla Roulleau, M.A., MHC
outpatient therapist
I believe that being a mental health counselor is centered on respect, empathy, acceptance, and the celebration of the unique individual. Counseling is a second career for me, having spent 25+ years as a dance educator, choreographer, and performer. I left the field to concentrate on being a stay-at-home mother for 10 years and subsequently during my master’s degree training worked as a counselor for young adults on the autism spectrum. As a therapist, I understand the perspective of a parent and am interested in the dynamics that keep both an individual and a family healthy. I believe that my experiences as an educator and a mother inform my therapeutic practice.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My background as an expressive arts therapist allows me to access, through stretches and simple movements, the stressors that can become stuck in our bodies, and alleviate that tension. Relaxation in the body promotes mental health and relaxation in the mind.
As a counselor, I am person-centered, meeting the client where they are. My work is strengths-based, creative, and intuitive, exploring the breath, mindfulness, and identifying a support system so clients can feel empowered and uplifted. It is my joy to be a companion to clients on their journey toward wellness.
