(she/her)
Hello, I'm a licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I have 21 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, worry, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing to make sure you feel we are a good match. This will also help us to create a tailored plan for us to work through together in follow-up sessions.
I have developed my ability to help individuals gain insight and self-awareness, identify the root cause of current challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I do well with clients whom are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often struggle with experiencing and accepting their own human emotions, feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their journey in life.

I was having several life-changing events occur in my life all at once. I decided to search for a therapists. I came across Watisha‘s profile & the reviews were compelling & at a price that I could afford. I love the fact that she gave me the option at the very beginning to move onto someone else if I did not feel she was a good fit. She is very honest, bold, confident, and overall real, you can feel her compassion in her spirit. She also gives great solutions that you can apply to real life.

I’m very blessed to have found her and to be working with her through this very tough period in my life. She’s an incredible listener, she’s patient, she’s empathetic but honest, she has great ability to get you focus on matters of priority that will move you forward as you navigate various situations, and she’s top tier when it comes to communication skills. I plan to continue working with her not only in the tough moments of my life, but the high moments also to remain level and balanced.

After finishing my first session with Watisha, I definitely feel seen. I love that she shares her own personal experience as it gave me a differing perspective that I hadn't considered in the past.
