Sustainable change isn't a matter of willpower; it’s a matter of design. Most people who feel "stuck" aren't lacking motivation—they are simply operating within a system that wasn't built to support their unique brain or their highest goals. As an LMHC and BCBA with over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in the science of behavior to help you move past trying harder and start building smarter. I define my approach as Behavioral Architecture. Together, we identify the environmental friction—procrastination, anxiety, or digital distraction—and replace self-blame with structural solutions. Through the Masterpiece Framework, we audit your daily systems to ensure they align with your core values and the identity you are intentionally cultivating. We aren't just changing habits; we are clearing the path so you can live with the clarity and intention of a Masterpiece in progress. As a bilingual clinician, I offer a practical perspective that honors the challenge of navigating diverse cultures. I help you bridge the gap between your heritage and your future, ensuring the systems we design together are both culturally resonant and personally meaningful.

As someone who struggled with mental health in the past and sought out help, I have complete understanding and respect for anyone reaching out for assistance. The desire to help others after I was able to overcome struggles is what led me to counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been counseling for ten years now. I have worked with all ages, from children younger than five, to older children, teenagers, and adults. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting issues, family conflict and challenges, relationship issues, and all the different life changes that occur! My practice is a client-focused, person-centered, and humanistic approach. I believe that each person who enters counseling deserves to be understood with empathy, respect, and compassion, and I believe that your relationship and connection with your counselor is key to moving forward. It is our journey together to bring you to the place that you want to be.

Is life feeling heavy right now? Does it feel like the harder you try, the more lost you become? When navigating a major life transition—like a recent loss, an empty nest, a career shift, or an ending relationship—your mind tries to think its way through the change, but your nervous system carries the actual burden. If you have spent months talking about your stress in therapy but your body still feels exhausted, anxious, or stuck, somatic work may be the missing piece. I provide a warm, gentle space specializing in somatic (body-centered) therapy and mindfulness for women experiencing: The heavy, physical ache of deep burnout and grief A constant tightness in the chest or unshakeable fatigue Feeling completely disconnected from your own body We won’t just analyze your overwhelm; we will work together to help your body safely release it. You don’t have to navigate this threshold alone. Let’s help you breathe a little deeper and feel truly grounded again. Please Note: I believe healing burnout starts with modeling it. I deliberately limit my client slots so I can show up with total clinical presence, depth, and intention—giving you a calm, grounded space to slow down and heal.

My name is Corina Forte, and I am a bilingual mental health counselor providing therapy in both English and Spanish. For the past 15 years, I have supported adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, major life transitions, mood concerns, and the impact of serious illness. Many of the people I work with are capable, caring, and accustomed to holding everything together for others, yet feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what they need. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, better understand the patterns shaping your emotions and relationships, and begin responding to life with greater clarity and intention. My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely understood, while also offering thoughtful guidance and gentle challenge when it may help them move forward. I believe therapy should provide both deeper self-understanding and practical tools that can be applied in everyday life. I tailor my work to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, existential, Gestalt, mindfulness-based, and expressive approaches, depending on each client’s needs and goals. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, develop a healthier relationship with your emotions, make choices that reflect who you are, and create meaningful changes that feel sustainable beyond the therapy room.

I work with women navigating life transitions, including changes in relationships, family roles, and health. These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact. As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist for over 25 years, mindfulness is a natural part of my work and informs how I understand and approach the mind body connection. I integrate mindfulness based stress reduction, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy into sessions in a way that supports awareness and emotional regulation.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels both supportive and collaborative. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can process trauma, explore challenges, and build the skills they need to live more fully. I offer psychotherapy, therapeutic assessments, and specialized interventions designed to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing mental health concerns, or seeking greater clarity in your relationships, I aim to help you feel understood and empowered. As I often remind clients, our connection to the world is shaped by the people we engage with. Together, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to create meaningful change and improve your quality of life. As an athlete, a family man, and a man of faith, I understand the challenges with adjusting to change associated with leaving a sport or career, you love, before you believe your time is up. I understand what it feels like to develop a bond and the challenges with sustaining such bonds. I also understand seeking growth spiritually when there’s so much temptation and triggers that seem to pull me away for my goals. With that, these experiences are what hopefully keep me humble, motivated, and grateful.

I graduated Eastern Michigan University with a major in psychology and a minor in nutrition in 2007. I completed my PhD program at the University of Detroit Mercy in 2014. During that time period I worked with patients in outpatient and inpatient settings including the University psychology clinic, Wayne State Family Medicine Center, Providence Alaska Family Medicine Center, and Providence Alaska inpatient services.I’m a clinical psychologist (PhD) specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and the mind–body impact of stress. My approach is warm, relational, and psychodynamic — I help you understand not just what you’re feeling, but why it keeps happening. Many of my clients come to me after trying short-term or skills-only therapy and not feeling truly understood. Together, we look at the deeper patterns shaped by past experiences, trauma, and relationships. This includes medical trauma, chronic illness, health anxiety, and eating issues rooted in shame or self-criticism. I offer teletherapy to adults who want thoughtful, insight-oriented work that leads to lasting change.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist and founder of Roots Healing Alliance, where I support individuals and couples in deep, integrative healing that connects mind, body, and lived experience. My work is rooted in both clinical training and lived experience, I’ve been drawn to understanding people and emotional depth for as long as I can remember, and I bring that lifelong curiosity into the therapy space. I specialize in helping clients make sense of anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns through a blend of psychodynamic, somatic, attachment-based, and interpersonal approaches. I also incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Critical Memory Integration (CMI), and brain-based strategies to support emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often describe my style as direct, warm, and authentically human, with a sense of humor that helps make heavy work feel more approachable. I don’t show up with a “therapist mask,” but as a real person who can sit with struggle while also helping you move through it. I work especially well with therapists, healers, and high-insight clients who are ready for meaningful, lasting change.

A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes. ---->Part of individual therapy is talking about friends, partners and loved ones. My training and focus are centered only on heterosexual relationship dynamics. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, you will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. I am not able to perform assessments, letters for claims or provide appearances in court.

With over 24 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping clients manage stress, depression, anxiety, family conflict, and relationship challenges. My approach is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion—I tailor each treatment plan to fit your unique needs. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and together, we’ll work toward solutions that bring clarity, resilience, and healing. The best way to understand the impact of my approach is through the voices of those I’ve had the privilege to work with. Clients describe me as supportive, attentive, and insightful. Many have shared that I help them see beyond rigid perspectives, create new possibilities, and manage their emotions in a healthier way. They find comfort in knowing that therapy with me is a safe space where they feel truly heard.

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Reiki II practitioner. I believe that somewhere underneath the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the patterns that keep repeating, there is a version of you that already knows the way. My job isn't to fix you. It's to create a space steady enough that you can actually hear yourself. Together we get curious about the thoughts that won't quiet down, the emotions that feel bigger than the moment, the behaviors that keep showing up even when you don't want them to, and what all of it is actually trying to tell you. I utilize a holistic approach, bringing tools into our work that help you understand what's happening in your mind and body when you're overwhelmed, so you can actually do something about it instead of just surviving it. But more than any method or modality, I show up as a real person walking alongside you, trusting that you are the expert on your own life. If you're ready to listen to that wiser part of yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk with you.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or weighed down by past trauma? Or are you and your partner caught in repetitive cycles, struggling to truly connect? I specialize in helping individuals and couples move from feeling disconnected to living with deep purpose, clarity, and security. For young adults and individuals feeling lost in life, I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combined with existential and somatic-cognitive tools. Together, we will help you rediscover who you are, clarify your core values, and define exactly what you want your life to look like. We will process past pain, release physical trauma, and foster genuine post-traumatic growth so you can build a meaningful future. For couples, I combine the Gottman Method and the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT). We will work in real-time to understand your nervous system responses, break negative communication loops, and build a secure, deeply connected partnership. Whether you are navigating individual healing, identity exploration, or relationship growth, I provide a safe, actionable space to help you thrive.
