Hi, I’m Lauren Hendrix, a mental health therapist dedicated to helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop tools to support your growth and well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, clarity, and a more fulfilling life.

Whether there has been a significant loss, a life transition, relational conflict, or daily stressors, we all need support during difficult times. Sometimes, however, a trained professional can help navigate these challenges and assist in facilitating positive change. We aren’t always able to recognize the underlying cause of our discomfort or find ways to overcome life’s challenges. In a therapeutic setting, we will work together to discover healthier ways for you to deal with life’s struggles, make desired changes, improve relationships, and find inner healing. Seeking therapy can be viewed as an investment in yourself. Improving mental and emotional health is as important as one’s physical health. My role is to provide a safe space and come alongside you on your journey. I work with adolescents and adults and provide individual, couples, and family counseling services. I treat depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, (PTSD), relationship issues, parenting, behavioral concerns, and many other problems affecting how we feel and operate in the world.

Hello, my name is Devin Jones and I’m a licensed clinical social worker specializing in individual psychotherapy. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or questions about identity, trauma, or direction in life. I work with teens and adults to better understand these experiences while also building practical skills to feel more grounded and in control. My approach blends structured, evidence-based work like CBT and ERP with a more relational, collaborative style. That means we’ll not only explore patterns and past experiences, but also actively practice new ways of responding in the present. In our sessions, you’ll find a space where you can show up as you are—without needing to filter or perform. My goal is to create an environment that feels supportive, affirming, and grounded, while helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change.

My current focus is working with adults and couples who want to improve communication, better understand conflict, manage anger, and address concerns related to anxiety and depression. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and down-to-earth environment where clients feel comfortable exploring difficult topics and working toward meaningful change.

Welcome! I'm Emily, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with a passion for integrative healing and mental health.

Hi, I'm Maya Noel, LMSW, and I believe therapy works best when you feel truly heard, understood, and accepted. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what's on your mind and begin creating meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, trauma, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. Together, we'll identify practical tools to help you cope with today's challenges while exploring the deeper patterns that influence your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.

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.

"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.

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.

He’s driven by the transformative “breakthrough moments” when clients gain new clarity—whether through a fresh insight, a life-changing decision, or witnessing a loved one’s growth. "Every person's journey unfolds at their own pace," Michael reflects. "Being present for those transformative moments—when everything clicks into place—reminds me why I chose this path. If you've ever experienced that sudden clarity, you know exactly what I mean. It's what makes this work endlessly rewarding."

Hello! I am a (LCSW) Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Michigan. I received my Masters from Wayne State University and have been a practicing social worker for 20 years. I work with many clients that may experience anxiety, depression, grief , medical adjustment, and/or trauma. Sometimes we just need some assistance to manage life situations and all our life stressors.

Hello, my name is Eric Dungan and I'm a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Worker. I attended University of Louisville. I specialize in PTSD, Grief, loss, Depression, Anxiety, Marriage and Family and Anger Management. I have years of experience in the field of mental health care. I strive to help people attain their maximum potential in all aspects of their lives, using several different treatments modalities. All sessions are focused, to provide a nonjudgmental and objective environment to help the patient view their struggles with a new objective and fair perspective towards themselves and other significant people and events in their lives.

My clients are a diverse group of smart, caring, and kind people who feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, or other challenges. Despite their many strengths, they sometimes struggle to build and maintain close relationships, face obstacles in their careers, or find it hard to achieve their goals despite the best of intentions. This can wear away at their self-worth and confidence, making everything feel even harder. Though therapy can sometimes feel heavy, it doesn't have to be all the time. My goal is to make it uplifting, engaging, and even fun—something to look forward to. Clients often describe me as calm, encouraging, nonjudgmental, and funny. I'm a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience specializing in depression, anxiety, ADHD, and relationships.
