ABOUT
Pia Teletherapy Owner
Michelle Piacquadio, LISW
Licensed Independent Social Worker/Ohio
From a young age growing up in Ohio, I knew I wanted to help others. I joined the US Army in 1973 and received training and experience as a medic and behavioral science specialist. In 1983, I received a Master of Social Work degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. I became an independent Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 1987. I have been a mental health therapist for 40+ years, working in many settings such as hospitals, clinics and private practices.
I retired from the Mental Health Clinic at Andrews Air Force Base in 2016 and moved back to Ohio near family. Now, in an effort to "honor my path", I am an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) providing teletherapy (video or phone) from my home on a part-time basis. I make every attempt to help others "honor their path" through mental healing and resolution. See below for my specialties and services.

SERVICES
SESSIONS & PAYMENT
Sessions are provided at a significantly reduced fee for those able to pay out of pocket. In honoring her path, while partly retired, Michelle has chosen not to bill insurance companies and does not work directly/indirectly with them for payment. 50-minute individual sessions are $60. 60-minute couple's sessions are $70. Vsee is the platform utilized to provide secure therapy and accepts payment after a completed session as well as reminds you of your appointment.
Once you have communicated with Michelle (see Inquiry and Appointment option below) and an appointment has been made, she will send you a link for Vsee/PiaTeletherapy. There, you will be asked to virtually sign a consent for treatment, provide payment information (that will only be utilized after your completed session) and receive appointment reminders.
