My Story

My name is Michelle Huh-Mounts, and I became a psychotherapist through a life of curiosity. 

 

I began as a fiction writer, earning an MFA from the University of Michigan and eventually moving to NYC to become an editor at Harper’s Magazine. I moved on to become Managing Editor in magazines and books, but I was not happy in the publishing industry and I had to figure out why.

 

I realized that I had long ago found my calling while working as an AmeriCorps volunteer in impoverished Appalachia. There, I found purpose in the healing that happened when I simply connected with and helped another person. 

 

I then became a clinical social worker through the City University of New York, providing therapy to homebound elders in Brooklyn and working with HIV-positive immigrants at the Latino Commission on AIDS. I also worked overnight shifts at a Manhattan suicide crisis line. 

 

At the same time I was experiencing Recurrent Pregnancy Loss. After six losses and numerous treatments, I had my baby boy. I knew from then on my work would include supporting women facing infertility and pregnancy loss, and parents TTC via donor-egg or donor-sperm. 

 

Today, I have built a practice that draws upon all of this life experience, as well as upon my more recent experience treating individuals and couples in Pennsylvania.

​​

I love what I do, and I have never lost the sense of curiosity that keeps me asking: What is it inside a person that wants to be heard? And how can I best listen and support that person's evolution?
