Michelle Gelband, LMSW

I’m passionate about working with individuals and partners navigating intimacy, sexuality, chronic pain, pregnancy and postpartum changes, anxiety, body image, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Many people struggle with experiences that can feel isolating or difficult to openly process, including painful sex, changes in desire, reproductive health experiences, coming out, or grappling with identity and sense of self.

My approach is warm, collaborative, HAES-aligned, and grounded in both clinical training and experience working in hospital OB/GYN settings. I specialize in the intersection of sexual health, chronic pain, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, and emotional well-being. I draw from modalities including somatic therapy, DBT, interpersonal therapy, and nervous system regulation to support clients in a way that feels individualized and grounded.

I understand how vulnerable it can feel to explore deeply personal experiences related to intimacy, identity, relationships, and the body. My goal is to create a space that feels thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely human, where clients can build more compassionate and connected relationships with themselves and their partners.
