Resilient Pathway Mental Health Therapy 

 Meet Dr. Michelle Palmieri, DSW, LSW

I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years, with experience in mental health and working with both youth and adults across various settings. I have collaborated with lobbyists on policy reform to ensure access to mental health care. Additionally, I have worked as a professor, teaching future therapists the skills needed for success.

I am passionate about helping others and am here to create a safe, supportive space as you navigate your personal journey. This journey is about you—so you will define your goals, and I will empower you with the tools to achieve them.

I earned my undergraduate degree from Duquesne University, double majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I went on to complete a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by a Doctorate of Social Work from Millersville University of Pennsylvania. 

I serve as an adjunct professor in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS) and sit on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Social Workers (NASW)–Colorado Chapter. 

In my free time, I focus on my own self-care by hiking, biking, running, or golfing
