Michelle Pliske is a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of individuals, couples and families with a focus in child and adolescent mental health. She holds a bachelors degree from the University of Washington, Department of Psychology, where she studied developmental psychology and worked on multiple research studies. Michelle received her graduate degree with honors from Portland State University, School of Social Work. She currently works in the field of mental health and healthcare serving children and adolescents who have been affected by mental illness, acute or chronic illness in the family, trauma and grief/bereavement. Michelle utilizes a prescriptive approach to mental health treatment, drawing from a variety of theoretical practices to meet the unique needs of her clients. She has extensive training in providing expressive therapies for children and adolescents including art and play-based approaches. Michelle provides frequent education and training to the public on topics related to child development, child and adolescent mental health disorders, grief and loss and the affects of acute or chronic medical illness on the family system.

Michelle's focus is providing individual and family therapy with a specialty for children and adolescents.

Ms. Pliske provided child evaluations and counseling for my daughter during a divorce proceeding. Her engagement with my child as well as the facilities enabling child interaction were top rate. In addition, she offered much flexibility in scheduling. This said, providing feedback and insight to me as a co-parent of the child was limited; and Ms. Pliske lacked the capability to keep information shared about the other parent in confidence. Moreover, Ms. Pliske allowed one parent's input to bias her program for the child which yielded limited results (more to satisfy the parent vs. help the child). Lastly I was told by Ms. Pliske in advance that the program for my child would be targeted to start with weekly visits then move to monthly within a 6 month period ...this did not occur and even upon my insurance provider reaching out to validate the necessity of the program terms. Services continued for 16 months ...it truly felt as if "$'s for business" super-ceded the requirements for the child or need for the family. As such I would not recommend, nor will use Ms. Pliske's services in the future.
