I believe everybody has strengths and talents as well as a place to fit in among this world as well as a purpose. However, at times we all need help to find our strength as life challenges get in the way and we get stuck. “What is some wisdom you have gained through your experiences?” is a question I will ask you when you choose to work with me. We will explore this question together, building on your experiences, and you will learn to identify ways to use this wisdom and strength in the future. I have extensive experience with substance use and with adolescents. I am also a former psychology teacher and academic counselor. I have a passion for working with teens and adults dealing with issues such as anxiety, trauma, depression, life changes, relationship concerns, LGBTQ issues, ADHD, and grief as well as substance abuse and families dealing with a loved one with substance abuse issues. I take a CBT, person centered, and a whole person approach meaning we look at your support system, environment, and daily routines as part of the puzzle. I create a safe space for you to open up and address things that may be hard for you to face on your own. Together we can make a plan to create and follow through on changes that will increase your strength and resilience, creating a better path forward

Hello, my name is Mandi Lynn, and I am a Clinical Therapist located in Southwest Michigan. I received my Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Social Work from Western Michigan University, and I have been practicing as a Clinical Therapist for 14 years. I specialize in working with children, families, and adults in all walks of life. It is my desire to help children, families, and adults identify and celebrate their strengths, while building and reinforcing healthy familial and interpersonal relationships. My goal as your Clinician is to help you overcome past trauma and/or current life stressors, build your strengths and coping skills, and advocate for you in any way I can. I am honored by the clients who have entrusted me to walk with them through their mental health journey, and look forward to working with you in the future.

I'm Dr. Ehsan Adib Shabahang, founder of AtReef Therapy PLLC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I hold a PhD in Psychology with a concentration in social psychology and a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My practice provides integrative, depth-oriented therapy for couples and individuals, conducted entirely through secure telehealth. I work most often with high-achieving adults and couples who function well professionally but find themselves facing patterns that intelligence, success, or effort alone have not resolved: recurring conflict, emotional distance, perfectionism, burnout, anxiety, and questions about identity, meaning, and direction. My clinical approach draws on relational and depth psychology, Jungian psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy, integrated according to each client's needs rather than applied as a fixed protocol. I am also the developer of Self-Reflective Relationship Therapy (SRRT), a research-informed framework that emphasizes self-reflection, emotional responsibility, and translating insight into real behavioral change. Therapy with me is not only about understanding why a pattern exists. Insight matters, but it is not the goal on its own. I focus equally on what changes in your communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and decisions once that understanding is in place. I see couples working through betrayal, disconnection, and recurring cycles of conflict, and I see individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and the gap between a capable public self and a more uncertain private one. I also bring particular attention to intercultural relationships and cross-cultural identity, informed by my own doctoral research and background working across cultures. If you are looking for a therapist who will engage directly, take your patterns seriously, and hold you accountable to real change rather than surface-level coping strategies, I would be glad to work with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 5 years of experience as a School Social Worker. I graduated from Indiana University Northwest in 2021 with my master's degree. I am a therapist who believes people are stronger than they give themselves credit for. My passion is helping you find your strength and strategies to meet your goals. I keep things warm, supportive, and will never make you feel judged for what you bring to me. I am here to support you and help you navigate to where you want to be. Outside of work, I run a small farm with pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and a garden, so my life involves a fair amount of dirt and a lot of animals with strong opinions. I also love to fish, do woodwork, cook from scratch, and make soy candles. Being in nature is how I reset, and I am happy to talk about what helps you reset too.

I have spent my entire career in the helping field because I am deeply committed to helping people overcome challenges, build resilience, and improve their quality of life. Over the years I have seen how the right support can empower individuals and families to heal, grow, and reach their potential. This field has allowed me to use my skills in empathy, problem-solving, and collaboration to make a meaningful difference every day.

I grew up in a small rural area in Louisiana. I graduated high school from Port Allen High School and hold a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Psychology and Master of Arts Degree in Menthal Health Counseling from Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Virginia. I have 22 years of experience in Counseling. I am also a Board Certified Tele-Mental Health Therapist (BC-MTH) therefore theraphy sessions my be provided in person or via HIPAA compliant tele-network service. I have two sons, Bryson (22 years old) and Nicholas (17 years old).

Career counseling focused on mental health in the workplace is my specialization. I help college students, job seekers, and working professionals who are feeling burned out, anxious, or overwhelmed reconnect with their strengths and bring their best selves to work or college. Many of my clients juggle high expectations, relationship challenges, and ongoing stress. They feel stuck, frustrated, or held back by negative self-talk or their environment. Together, we work on recognizing these patterns, challenging self-imposed limitations, and building healthier, more confident ways of thinking with clear steps to overcome challenges. I offer complimentary career exploration assessments, resume reviews, strategies for networking, practice interviews, and salary negotiation. I also offer complimentary business plan development for entrepreneurs and guidance on financial aid (FAFSA) for first-time college students.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. I received my Masters from the Oakland University and have been practicing for 10 years.

I’m Elizabeth Lucarelli, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, depression, chronic illness, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is practical, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should provide a supportive space to feel heard while also helping you understand what is keeping you stuck and develop strategies for moving forward. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing, tailoring treatment to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I also have extensive experience working with veterans and their families. I provide virtual therapy to adults in Michigan, Ohio, and Florida. My practice emphasizes building a supportive and empathetic therapeutic relationship, tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. Whether addressing immediate challenges or fostering long-term well-being, I am committed to helping my clients navigate life's transitions with resilience and confidence. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards better mental health and overall well-being.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping high-functioning individuals navigate trauma, relationship challenges, overthinking, and the stressors of everyday life. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a holistic, spiritually-informed perspective (not tied to any religion), creating space for both practical tools and deeper personal insight. I aim to support clients in finding clarity, balance, and lasting healing.

Every story deserves a witness and every voice deserves to feel heard. As a clinician I take a humanistic approach when meeting with clients. For me, Humanistic means engaging with clients and taking a non-judgmental approach while they share about the barriers they're facing in life. My goal is to create a safe space as clients work towards self-acceptance and work through difficult emotions. I have worked in the mental health field for 5+ years with a focus on helping those with developmental disabilities, and severe mental illness. I am passionate about guiding clients with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma to reach their fullest potential. Everyone has a different starting point and no matter what brings you to therapy, I'm here to meet you where you're at. Every client experience is unique and deserves to be treated as such. Working together using a humanistic approach we will work together to find what works best for you to reach your identified wants and goals. This is your story, I'm just here to be your non-judgment listener while you figure out the ending.

I’m here to offer a compassionate, listening ear as you navigate your goals and challenges. We’ll work together to build practical, real-life strategies that actually make sense for your daily routine. By blending various therapy styles with my own life experiences, I help people work through trauma, find clarity, or just keep moving forward. I truly believe in the power of the human spirit—therapy is a place to grow, and I'm focused on helping you find genuine contentment rather than chasing perfection.

I am licensed in Michigan with 20+ years of counseling experience. I have helped people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, C-PTSD, trauma and abuse as well as attachment and intimacy related issues. I enjoy working with those of various racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as those in the LGBTQ+ community. I have a holistic approach which incorporates a strength and resilience-informed focus with somatic and mindfulness practices.

"Why do I keep choosing relationships like this?” “Why do I feel this way?” “Who am I underneath all of this?” “How did I become this person?” **“Why do I keep ending up here?”** If these are the kinds of questions you find yourself asking, we’ll probably have a lot to talk about. My approach to therapy is insight-oriented, relational, and deeply curious. I’m interested in more than helping you feel better in the moment. I want to help you understand why you feel the way you do, where your patterns came from, and why certain relationships, roles, fears, or beliefs keep following you. In therapy, we’ll absolutely talk about what’s happening in your life right now: the relationship that's on fire, the resentment you feel guilty for having, the anxiety that won’t stop, the people you keep trying to please, the decisions that aren’t working for you, or the version of yourself you’re exhausted from maintaining. But we’ll also get curious about what’s underneath it. We might notice the role you learned to play in your family, the kinds of people you feel responsible for, what happens when someone is disappointed in you, why conflict feels so threatening, why you struggle to ask for what you need, or why a relationship can feel impossible to let go of even when you know it isn’t good for you.

Hi, I’m a licensed master’s-level social worker based in Michigan with over twenty years of experience, including the past eight years dedicated specifically to behavioral health. I’m passionate about supporting adults of all ages. My goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you can feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow. I’m here to walk alongside you, help you build meaningful coping strategies, and support you as you work toward your goals.

Welcome. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, resilience, and self-understanding. I provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can safely explore their experiences, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful personal growth. My practice specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem challenges. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, trauma-informed care, strengths-based therapy, and person-centered interventions to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. My goal is to empower clients to heal, build on their strengths, and create lasting positive change in their lives.

I will guide you to help yourself to master the tools necessary to effectively navigate through the complexities of life with a new set lenses in order to help you reach your full potential.

I am a licensed clinical therapist. My ideal client is someone who desires to heal and move forward with their lives. This person is willing to do the work necessary to get the results they desire. My ideal client is respectful of my time just as I would be respectful of their time; thus, my ideal client attends all scheduled sessions or cancels at least 24-48 hours in advance.

🌿 My Approach to Counseling Forty-four years ago, I was trained as a Holistic Social Worker, and since then I’ve had the privilege of working across the Americas — with people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. Over the decades, I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone, and that true change happens when we feel safe, respected, and understood. My counseling approach is person-centered, meaning that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to support and strengthen your natural motivation to change. There are many healing traditions in the world, and I will always honor you and your choices as we find what works best for your journey. I combine cognitive (thought-based) and somatic (body-based) techniques to help you bridge the mind–body connection. My specialty is working with stress and trauma, helping you understand how your nervous system responds and what it needs to return to balance. It’s important to remember: trauma lives in the nervous system — not in the event itself. When your system becomes dysregulated, symptoms arise because the residual energy from those experiences hasn’t been released. If your system is stuck on “High”, you may feel rage, hyperactivity, anxiety, panic, or find yourself engaging in high-risk behaviors. If your system is stuck on “Low”, you may experience depression, exhaustion, numbness, disconnection, or hopelessness. Together, we’ll gently guide your nervous system toward discharge and regulation, helping your body and mind restore calm, clarity, and connection. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, answer your questions, and see if working together feels like the right fit.

Life is a journey filled with both highs and lows. There are moments when simply getting through the day can feel overwhelming—when your mind is filled with constant chatter (often not the kindest), your body feels exhausted, and even small tasks take more effort than they should. If you’re feeling this way, you are not alone—and there is hope. Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, or the impact of past experiences, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we can create space to slow down, better understand what you’re experiencing, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, supported, and confident in your daily life. My approach is holistic in nature, non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate. I walk along side you as we explore your thoughts and feelings, to help better understand yourself, and find ways to create healthy alternatives as you move forward. My goal is to not only create a safe space for you, but to also empower you as you develop the insight, curiosity, and courage to create the life you want.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." - Viktor E. Frankl What a journey life can be, it is an honor to be considered to guide you along the way. I am a Clinically Licensed Social Worker in the state of Michigan.

I have over 20 years of experience in helping clients unlearn emotional and physical pain to make it possible to reconnect with yourself and others in a safe and empowering way.

After discussing together your goal, we will decide on a the right treatment plan. I use Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques to address each client's unique perspectives.

I am Monica Lyon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating clients struggling with self-esteem, family conflict, grief, relationships, boundaries, and depression to name a few!

Hi, I’m Kristen—Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 13 years of experience supporting high-achieving women and young professionals who are navigating burnout, career transitions, and the pressure to “hold it all together.” Many of my clients are driven, capable, and successful on paper—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from the life they’ve built. They’re often at a turning point: ready to pivot careers, grow a business, or redefine what success actually means for them. My approach is collaborative, direct, and results-oriented. I combine evidence-based therapy with practical strategy to help you regulate stress, gain clarity, and make confident, aligned decisions—without spending years in therapy. This work is about more than insight; it’s about creating real momentum in your life and career. You can expect a space where you’re both supported and challenged—where you don’t have to perform, but you also won’t stay stuck. Together, we’ll move you out of burnout and into a more grounded, intentional way of living and working. For those who value faith as part of their healing, I also offer a nondenominational, faith-integrated approach rooted in compassion, purpose, and spiritual alignment. Whether you’re building something new, questioning your next move, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again—this is a space to reset, realign, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I believe in asking about your mental and physical health since my teaching has allowed the understanding of medical health has a definite impact on the mental health. I have also worked as a Special Education Teacher for 7yrs prior to gaining a Counseling license. I definitely enjoy what I do for a living because I enjoy helping others.

Hi, my name is Jeana, and I am a master's level clinical social worker. I have two young adult daughters, a dog, and a cat. With over 25 years of experience in social work, my background includes community work, hospice care, and one-on-one therapy. I've had the privilege of working virtually with clients worldwide, ranging in age from 18 to mature adults.

Hi there, my name’s Ephraim Tokar. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduated with a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. She has experience working with youth and adults in various treatment settings, including community mental health, juvenile justice, autism services, and child welfare. She specializes in childhood and adolescent mental health, family therapy, depression and anxiety, and stress related to significant life changes. I am passionate about supporting individuals, groups, and communities through healing, growth, and emotional wellness. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping clients feel empowered, supported, and understood. Therapy is not about “fixing” a person. It is about helping clients reconnect with themselves, build self-awareness, strengthen emotional wellness, and create practical tools for everyday life. We honor each client’s story and work together to create a path toward healing, confidence, and stability.

We all carry an "internal blueprint"—a set of old scripts and historical templates that dictate how we react to the world. Often, we don’t realize these blueprints exist until we find ourselves hitting the same walls in our relationships, our careers, or our own self-perception. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to investigate these patterns and move toward real, observable change. My approach focuses on the connection between your history and your current actions. My background in biological psychology has taught me that while biology is vital, it isn’t the boss. The science shows us that our brains are profoundly social; therefore, the real work happens within the relationship we build together. We treat our sessions as a live map to identify and rewrite the ingrained habits that no longer serve you. The goal is to move you from a state of reaction to a state of grounded agency. We work to restore your capacity for intentional action and give you the clarity needed to be a deliberate, authentic presence in your own life. 1. I like to work with clients to set up times to meet together. The calendar system can be challenging. 2. If you wish to work on couple's counseling, please message me first, as I generally only work private pay. When we begin our work together, the first thing you’ll notice is a "take your shoes off" atmosphere. I believe therapy works best when it feels less like a clinical exam and more like a candid, over-the-coffee-table conversation. This is a space for an honest, active partnership where we bypass clinical clichés to get to the root of what is actually happening in your life.
