Michelle Reichard, LMHC, Qualified Supervisor

Michelle Reichard is the founder, CEO, and Clinical Director of Arc Mental Health, a multidisciplinary outpatient practice built on a simple belief: quality mental health care should be within reach for everyone in Miami-Dade County. A Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Qualified Supervisor (QS) in the state of Florida, Michelle brings over a decade of experience across community mental health and private practice settings. Michelle earned her Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Miami. Early in her career, she provided individual, family, and group therapy to clients navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and neurocognitive conditions. She served as Lead Therapist at Safe Haven Recovery Center, supporting clients in day/night treatment and intensive outpatient programs, and worked as a Research Associate at the University of Miami School of Medicine’s Center on Aging, contributing to federally funded studies on caregiving and cognitive decline. In 2018, Michelle founded what would become Arc Mental Health, starting with a focus on substance abuse treatment and growing it into a comprehensive, multi-location behavioral health practice offering psychiatry, individual and family counseling, case management, and specialized services like TMS and Spravato. As Clinical Director, she provides ongoing supervision and mentorship to Arc’s licensed and pre-licensed therapists, ensuring clinical excellence and adherence to best practices across the team. As CEO, she oversees the organization’s operations, ensuring every aspect of care meets state and federal regulatory standards. Beyond the walls of Arc, Michelle serves as the practice’s public face — building community partnerships, participating in local outreach and fundraising, and advocating for greater access to mental health services throughout South Florida. She is a longtime member of the American Counseling Association and is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach for treating trauma and substance use. For Michelle, Arc Mental Health is more than a practice — it’s a mission to make sure no one has to navigate their mental health journey alone.
