‍ ‍Attune, Attend, Ascend‍ ‍

Welcome

Are you seeking a deeper relationship with yourself—one rooted in acceptance, compassion, respect, and care?

Do you long for a greater sense of safety and ease in your body and mind?

Perhaps you are moving through a challenging moment and need a safe space to process?

Rising Self is here to meet you exactly as you are and journey with you forward. All of you is welcome here.

My name is Michelle Maillet, and I am passionate about holding safe, compassionate space for you to connect with all that you are and step into the version of yourself you long to be. I can support with a wide range of human experiences, however these are the ones I feel most called to:

My therapeutic approach is largely informed by Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness‑based approaches, Polyvagal Theory and incorporates Somatic Experiencing. These modalities support a holistic, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic experience. My services are delivered in a respectfully curious, non‑judgmental, and person‑centered manner to individuals ages 15 and up throughout British Columbia and Ontario.

At Rising Self, change emerges through therapeutic processes that support you in attuning and gently attending to your inner world with compassion and curiosity. As your capacity to do so expands, there is greater space for your most authentic and aligned self to show up in your daily life.

You can learn more about me and my approach on the About page.

I welcome you to reach out with any questions!
