Welcome

I’m Dr. Michelle Solomon, a licensed clinical psychologist who works in partnership with my clients to help them feel better emotionally and physically.  We’ll collaborate using proven techniques that can help you transform the way you look at life and the way you confront and manage issues that trouble you.

I am located in Rhode Island and licensed to provide psychotherapy to residents of all PSYPACT states. I graduated from William James College in Massachusetts with a masters and doctoral degree in clinical psychology.

I work psychodynamically and strength focused.

My doctoral research involved understanding how social media affects what we think of ourselves and how that may influence our mental health.  This dissertation has been among one of the most accessed papers in a national research database for several years. 

During my training I worked at Butler Hospital, Bradley Hospital, the RISD Counseling Center, Beacon Assessment Center, Advocates, and several private practices throughout New England.

I’m a member of the American and Rhode Island Psychological Associations, and serve on the Rhode Island Psychological Association’s Continuing Education Committee.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, listening to music, art, and find humor to be an essential part of life.
