Introducing Michelle Perry, Founder of Get Centered Wellness
Early Calling and Inspiration
From an early age, Michelle Perry felt a deep calling to serve her community. Her passion was shaped by her grandfather, a Korean War veteran who faced stigma surrounding mental health. Witnessing his struggles sparked her lifelong drive to help shift the stigma, empower others with support, and create spaces for healing and transformation.
At the same time Michelle was fascinated by human behavior: why we do what we do, how we grow, and what it really takes to change. That curiosity eventually became her vocation.
Lessons from a Former Athlete
As a former athlete Michelle learned firsthand the power of mindset, resilience, and psychology in achieving success. Those lessons became the foundation of her belief that resilience and mental discipline can be cultivated, and that these same tools are invaluable in healing and personal growth.
Professional Path and Credentials
Over the past 16 years, Michelle has pursued that mission with devotion, becoming a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (License #05664), a Certified Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapist, a Vibrational Sound Healer, and a Certified Breathwork Coach.
Her true gift lies in blending traditional approaches like therapy and coaching with embodied practices such as yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sound healing. Bringing these approaches together has become her life’s work: creating spaces where people can heal, grow, and thrive in ways that honor the whole person (mind, body, and spirit).
Leading Get Centered Wellness
As the Founder and CEO of Get Centered Wellness, Michelle oversees the vision, mission, and strategic direction of the company, ensuring everything remains aligned with core values and long-term goals.
Yet she remains deeply connected to the work itself. She continues to guide retreats, lead therapeutic intensives, and work with a select list of clients in therapy, coaching, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. This balance allows her to stay grounded in leadership while staying present in the individual healing journeys that inspire her daily.
Career Highlights and Accomplishments
Some of her proudest career highlights include founding and growing both the Center for Trauma, Stress, and Anxiety (CTSA) and Get Centered Wellness. Together, these sister organizations offer an integrative model of care that combines evidence-based psychotherapy and coaching with holistic practices like yoga, meditation, and sound healing. This approach is helping to heal the community in profound ways.
Another accomplishment Michelle holds especially close is the ability to sustain this vision while raising her daughter as a single mother. Balancing leadership, clinical work, and parenting has not always been easy, but it has shaped her into a more grounded, resilient, and empathetic leader. It also deepened her commitment to creating spaces where both clients and team members can thrive.
From leading retreats and therapeutic intensives, to expanding innovative services like Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, to fostering partnerships that amplify healing across disciplines, Michelle sees each milestone as part of a larger mission: to bring people together in community, reduce stigma surrounding mental health and holistic healing, and create opportunities for true transformation.
Life Beyond the Work
Outside of her professional life, Michelle and her daughter share a love of travel, adventure, and animals. She recently achieved a longtime goal of becoming scuba certified in Cancun. When she is not exploring underwater, she is often surrounded by their seven pets or spending time with horses, which has always been a passion of hers.
