United Healthcare Life Insurance Therapists in Michigan

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share my background, as I believe my experience may be of value to you. With 37 years of lived experience alongside family members facing severe mental challenges, I have gained a deep understanding of the unique struggles that individuals and families encounter in these situations. My professional journey in the mental health field spans over 12 years, during which I have worked closely with various communities, including those transitioning from in-patient mental health facilities. Having grown here and choosing to raise my family in this community, I have a strong connection to the values of country life. My experiences working on local farms have further enriched my perspective and resilience. The mental health field chose me, offering a sense of purpose in navigating my own life challenges. I am passionate about helping individuals find their path towards healing, and I bring experience in both addiction and recovery. Additionally, I am committed to creating an affirming environment for everyone, including those in the LGBTQ community. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss how I can support you or your loved ones in navigating these challenging times. Please feel free to reach out at your convenience.

As a humanistic and supportive therapist, I am dedicated to guiding adults and teens navigating the challenging transition into adulthood.

By utilizing a client-centered approach, I focus on building meaningful connections and facilitating self-discovery, helping my clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of their personal values and goals. Together, we embark on a transformative journey toward personal fulfillment and emotional well-being.

Hello! I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) and a therapist specializing in Substance Use Disorders (SUD).

My sessions are grounded in extensive training and an ethical framework that prioritizes your progress while fostering a trusting environment for healing and personal growth. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in General Business from Ferris University, and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Wayne State University, where I specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Throughout my professional journey, I have had the privilege of working as a Residential Therapist in a Substance Use treatment facility, helping individuals facing various types of addiction. I have also worked in a Psychiatric Emergency Department as a Behavioral Health Provider, collaborating with the medical team to implement effective interventions. Additionally, I have provided both individual and group therapy through a community behavioral health nonprofit, working in diverse settings such as correctional facilities, clients’ homes, and Private Practice.

I believe Irvin Yalom said it best when he said we need to form a unique therapy for every person. We are all unique, our relationships and experiences are unique, and in therapy we need to find your own path forward in life. We can find that as a conversation between two experts, you being the expert in your own life, and me being an expert in this field. Together, we can work to help you find what you are looking for in therapy. Whether it is a skill and action motivated plan, or a space to emotionally process things regularly, or anything in between.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the State of Michigan. I received my Undergraduate Degree from Hampton University in Hampton, VA and my Graduate Degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI and have been practicing for over 25 years. I've worked extensively with those who experience symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as with individuals who have struggled with figuring out how to cope with change, loss, and self-esteem issues. By responding to the needs of my clients with empathy and patience, I've been able to help my clients develop personalized plans of actions to help them live more satisfying and fulfilled lives.

It's hard to help you get a good idea of who I am in just a few sentences. I struggle just like everyone else and fully admit that I can be a bit of a mess sometimes. My hope is to help people learn how to help themselves by managing and reducing the symptoms that are causing them distress. I spent grad school in Rochester at Oakland University and graduated at the end of 2016. I've spent most of my career working with high severity clients. I have recently moved to private practice where I hope to continue helping people learn to help themselves.

I am an LMSW, soccer coach, and former collegiate athlete. Formerly the Ehrenberg Family Fellow for Athletic Counseling in the University of Michigan Athletic Department. I provided mental health and athletic performance care for up to thirty Division 1 varsity student-athletes. I received my master’s degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 2020. My passion is to help individuals become masters of themselves and to help them accomplish their goals. I work from a social justice lens to be culturally sensitive, utilizing strength-based, solution-focused interventions. I strive to work collaboratively toward clients’ objectives. I have worked with patients on athletic performance, injury support, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, sleep issues, relational stressors, grief/loss, trauma and suicidality. My approach is foundationally a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, and I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I intend to earn my certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The area I am most passionate about is the study of traumatic, toxic-stress, and mind/body symptoms. I have been interested in how trauma extends beyond some of the more historic notions of PTSD and ACEs. I myself was a collegiate athlete and, through many hardships and obstacles, on and away from the field, went through my own mental health journey. After coaching youth soccer for eight years since college, it became apparent to me that we had been neglecting the mental health of athletes and, oftentimes, of youth in general. In turn, my biggest motivation became de-stigmatizing mental health problems, particularly in the world of sport, and being a spokesperson for the value of therapy.

I have spent the past 15 years walking alongside children, teens, and adults as they navigate issues of grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. In my practice, I respect that each client has their own unique journey and I seek to listen with compassion, patience, and genuineness. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming space where clients can take the time needed to work through their feelings in order to heal and grow. I focus on validating each client’s unique experience and allow clients to share information and process emotions at their own pace. I use an integrative approach when working with clients to develop a treatment plan that fits with their needs.

Hi, I’m a clinical social worker with a strong foundation in evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, including OCD, panic, and generalized anxiety.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you face what feels overwhelming—at a pace that feels manageable—so you can build confidence, reduce anxiety, and reclaim your life.

Ever since my early years, i've drawn to the enigmatic depths of the human mind. The infinite complexity of our thoughts, emotions and behaviors has always fascinated me, igniting a passion for psychology that burns brighter with each passing day. It's a passion that led me to dedicate my life to this field, and it's my genuine pleasure to share my insights and experiences with you.

Hello potential client! You are hurting in some way if you are here reading this.

Maybe you are sad all the time and don't enjoy doing things that used to be fun. Maybe you are feeling helpless or hopeless about what to do. Maybe you have been through a traumatic experience or are grieving. Maybe you are thinking the way you have been using substances is causing you problems.

This is where I come in! I help people who are ready to change for the better! My heart is for helping hurting people and I strive to treat all of my clients with the compassion and respect I believe they deserve.

I also offer Christian counseling to those who are interested and am also happy to work with people of other spiritual beliefs.

Hi, I’m Sema—and I get it. I know that when you’re going through a difficult time, it can feel like no one truly hears you. Sometimes, even well-meaning people try to “fix” things without fully understanding what you're going through. That’s why I aim to offer something different: a safe, judgment-free space where you feel genuinely heard. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, connection, and collaboration. I believe in working alongside my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, identify the core of their challenges, and build practical tools to manage and move through them. Together, we don’t just talk about the problem—we work toward healing, growth, and long-term resilience. I earned my LMSW from Wayne State University in 2016 and have since supported individuals navigating a wide range of challenges including mental health concerns, grief and loss, substance use, complex family dynamics, and the emotional toll of physical health issues. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and integrative therapeutic techniques that help clients reframe negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and move toward becoming the best version of themselves. You don't have to do this alone. I'm here to support you, listen to you and walk with you through whatever you're facing.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Michigan. I am also licensed in the state of Ohio as a Licensed Independent Social Worker, with Supervisory designation (LISW-S). I received my Masters from The Ohio State University and have been practicing since 2011. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My background is rooted within a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy framework, along with training in Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality.

I love to work with people who are willing to think, to consider new ideas, to examine themselves honestly, and to try new behaviors. This is exciting! I love people who allow me the occasional moment of silence so that I can prepare a question that fits their unique personality and situation. I love working with people who are excited about working on things throughout the week and will give me honest feedback as to how effective that idea was for them. And i find it very enjoyable to work with someone who can articulate what they believe their issue is and what they think they need to do to overcome (either by increasing or decreasing a behavior) their problem (even if it takes a few sessions to get there). it's great to work with people who will do their best to give a new idea a shot. All that being said, everyone has their up days and down days. We wouldn't be human if we didn't. Being willing to let me walk alongside of them on those days, as well as the good days, humbles me because of their trust. Therapy can be work, and change doesn't fall into our laps. But it is possible, and in many cases, in order to experience abundant living, very necessary. Finally, I really enjoy working with people who, even as they identify a tendency, a personality trait, a reaction, or a thought process that may be related to childhood or adult trauma or abuse, will also look for ways to overcome its impact on them instead of being content to sit in its shade and let themselves be bested by it.
