Michele Galea Bertelle, LMHC, KAP, RPT

---

Welcome! I'm Michele (she/they) and I founded inMindLLC in 2017 to create community partnerships that facilitate local mental health education and support. Community partnerships allow for unique opportunities to respond to local needs. They also help individuals explore differences and connect about collective experience. In this post-pandemic world, we have been able to tremendously expand the spans of our connections and our communities. 

My local community is in the Catskill Mountain Hudson River Valley of New York, upon Native American land of the Haudenosaunee, Mohican & Schaghticoke tribes. I am also a member of the American Psychological Association, a member of Journey Clinical's national network of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapists, a member of the American Counseling Association, and a member of the national Association for Play Therapy. I have been a mental health advocate, educator and organizer, for over 25 years. In addition to my work with inMindLLC, I provide professional psychotherapy to New York State residents as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist, and Registered Play Therapist. 

I specialize in Modern Play Therapy, or MPT, models and processes based on an exploration of play therapy through the lenses of modern neuroscience (especially the emerging fields of psychedelic neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology). I currently have literature in various stages of publication, so stay tuned for more about Modern Play Therapy!

inMindLLC provides educational and supportive services, which do not substitute professional mental health treatment. If you are seeking clinical mental health treatment, you live in NYS, and you would like to work with me, please see below to learn more about psychotherapy through my private practice.
