I’m glad you’re here, let’s PIVOT
About me…
I was well into my thirties, (and had been a psychotherapist for a decade), before learning about boundaries, and love, and loving-boundaries, in a way where I felt empowered in my relationships.
I’m a geeky introvert who prefers to spend the majority of my time solo, but, experiences the most joy connecting with people (and my dog).
Even though I spent many years working with children I avoided them in my personal life until I became a parent and got schooled in how much the youngest among us have to teach us about human’ing.
What I am most proud of is my marriage, and while there’s many resources that have supported us through the seasons the PIVOT process has been substantial.
I’m from the Bay Area, lived in San Francisco for fifteen years, and am currently calling Seattle home.
The PIVOT Process Works! Here’s How:
Educational
Clients are guided through a curriculum that is grounded in attachment theory, developmental psychology, and current understanding about relational health.
Experiential
The process is highly personalized to each client in a way that aims to engage head, heart, and behavior making it accessible, relevant, and actionable.
Empowering
By being able to build a relationship with our own ‘Healthy Adult’ we are then able to cultivate a life full of loving connection and create a legacy we’re proud of.
Developmental
At PIVOT we understand that throughout our life we will be called to courageously level-up our ability to ‘Healthy Adult’ and hone our skills - we support that progress.
Getting Started

Step One
Complete the Questionnaire
You can specify in the last form box (‘Anything else you’d like us to know’) that you’re interested in working with Michelle Lorenz.
Step Two
Complete the Client Guidelines
This onboards clients to PIVOT, and once we’re matched I will also send my addendum through my client portal, then we can begin.
Step Three

In addition to whatever we figure-out together for when we’ll meet, my clients can manage their schedule through my client portal.
Praise people have gone on record to give!
