Michele Rowland-Bird, LCSW

Michele Rowland-Bird is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with more than 28 years of professional experience. She has worked across settings with children, families, and adults, including people who are or have been involved in the foster care system. Michele approaches each person as an individual, valuing attentive listening and collaboration, and she maintains a strong belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to live their best life through thoughtful therapeutic work.

Michele teaches cognitive behavioral skills, helping clients identify thoughts that are inaccurate or unhelpful and replace them with perspectives grounded in reality. As thinking patterns shift, feelings and actions typically follow, opening the door to new healing experiences. This skills-based method is particularly well suited to people managing depression and anxiety, and it supports work on stress, trauma, grief, self-esteem, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

She is also attuned to issues such as self-harm and provides focused clinical attention when appropriate. Please note that Michele does not practice messaging therapy or couples therapy. Beginning a wellness journey is a courageous step, and Michele looks forward to supporting those who choose to pursue it.
