My one personal goal for you is to help you learn how to help yourself. It might sound cheesy, but I just want the best for everyone and sometimes that means stepping outside of your comfort zone and asking for help. I strive to help others learn how to help themselves so that they can learn to trust their gut.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from themselves or the world around them. You may be carrying stress that feels unmanageable or emotions that are hard to name, let alone express. I offer a space to slow down, explore what you're feeling, and reconnect with your inner resources. Together, we’ll make sense of your experience, work through what’s holding you back, and help you move toward a life that feels more meaningful.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply not like yourself lately? Maybe it feels like you’re just getting through each day instead of truly living it. If so, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor, working with both adolescents and adults. I understand that every person’s story is unique, which is why I tailor my approach to meet you exactly where you are—with no judgment, only support.
I am a licensed professional counselor with 18 years of rich experience in treating adults, youth and families. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and/or persistent mental illness. My approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in the knowledge that you are the expert in your life. I attended spring Arbor University, receiving my masters and counseling. I offer virtual therapy a few nights a week and on weekends.
I am a therapist passionate about listening to the stories of others. I provide a safe space to tackle difficult issues and heal from the affects of trauma. In the past I found myself in therapy, and when my therapist helped me improve the quality of my life I decided I wanted to sit in his chair one day. I've devoted my career to that pursuit.
You may be seeking therapy due to crippling anxiety, exhausting depression or to lift the weight trauma has placed on you. You may want to learn strategies to improve your focus and move you closer to your goals. Perhaps you want to get closer to loved ones and communicate in a healthier way with those around you. Whatever you bring I am here to guide you through it so you can then guide yourself through life. I'm confident that if we work together you can make changes, feel better and get more out of life.
This is my 27th year as a Therapist/Social Worker. I have vast experience working in the public school system, mental health, foster care, and adoption. I have experience working with children and families with special education disabilities, anger management, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. I am experienced working with individuals, families, couples, people with different abilities, mental and emotional challenges.
I specialize in working with people struggling with eating disorders—anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and related challenges. I recognize these aren't simply about food; they're deeply intertwined with emotional complexity, cognitive patterns, and questions of self that demand thorough, empathetic treatment. Through my specialized Modified DBT training, I help clients navigate overwhelming feelings while building healthier ways of coping.
I also frequently work with those facing debilitating anxiety—whether it shows up as persistent worry, panic attacks, or avoidance. My practice includes young adults in transition, working professionals dealing with performance stress, and adolescents managing social and academic demands.
Beyond this, I support people experiencing depression who want active, goal-oriented approaches to confront negative thinking and rediscover purpose. I work with trauma survivors prepared to work through painful experiences, individuals with mood disorders seeking greater equilibrium, and those navigating identity questions tied to life changes, relationships, or core values. What my clients have in common is readiness—they're committed to actively participating in their healing. They're looking for more than a listening ear; they want actionable tools, collaborative exploration, and proven methods that lead to real transformation. If you're willing to engage fully and commit to your own development, I'm ready to partner with you on that journey.Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral challenges, post-partum depression, parenting, chronic illness, and grief. I am available to see clients in Kentucky in-person or telehealth, and Michigan or Minnesota via telehealth.
The person centered approach means that the client is the center of everything from the initial assessment, to the development of the goals, to the treatment that is provided. It is important that you know you are accepted and with therapy you are able to address the concerns you have and learn to effectively work through them.
I understand therapy can feel uncomfortable and the thought of sharing yourself with someone you don't know (yet) can be overwhelming. Give me a call and we can talk for an initial conversation to see if it will be a good fit.

I’m glad that you’re brave enough to take the first step! I’m here to help clients discover and use their strengths to navigate through life’s challenges.

Insurance:
Individuals, couples, and families: Services not clinically indicated are not always covered by insurance if the primary client/patient is not experiencing a medical necessity. Here's a few examples:
1. Most insurance plans don’t cover marriage counseling because it’s not considered a "medical necessity." That doesn’t mean therapy isn’t valuable, just that insurance companies tend to focus on diagnosed mental health conditions rather than relationship issues.
2. Life coaching or career coaching — focused on professional development rather than treating a mental health condition
3. General stress management without a diagnosed disorder — for example, “I just feel stressed” without a clinical diagnosis
4. Self-improvement or personal growth sessions aimed at building confidence, public speaking skills, or lifestyle changes
5. Vague or exploratory therapy without a clear diagnosis or treatment plan
6. Non-essential wellness or “feel-good” therapy not tied to a specific mental health need

I’m Steven, a Licensed Professional Counselor for 7+ years. I specialize in helping in clients navigate through relationship stress, life adjustments, divorce, social anxiety, and overall anxiety management. To do this, i use a combination of Person-Centered therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused therapy to help clients try to build momentum towards reaching their goals and managing their everyday life and relationships in a more effective way.
My greatest strength as a therapist is to be able to provide Professional Counseling using everyday/real world language and interactions and allowing clients to have an experience talking to "down to earth professional" . I strive to make a client feel heard and validated as a person while helping them take steps in reaching their identified goals.
I also try to emphasize flexibility by offering no cancellations fees and 6-7 days of availability on normal weeks is important as I realize it can be hard for some clients to commit to a specifically weekly commitment.
You are capable, dependable, and used to carrying a great deal on your shoulders. Others often look to you for support, strength, and stability. But even the strongest people can begin to feel emotionally exhausted when stress becomes constant and there is little time to rest, recover, or care for themselves.
I specialize in working with healthcare professionals, caregivers, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside while internally feeling drained, mentally overloaded, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about their sense of purpose.
With over 13 years of clinical experience across healthcare systems, private practice, and community settings, I understand how prolonged pressure and responsibility can quietly impact emotional well-being. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in helping clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, strengthen healthy boundaries, and build a more sustainable and balanced way of living — not just surviving.

I work with adults and children who have had trauma and are dealing with depression and anxiety. I also work with the school systems in my county to treat young children and teens who are struggling in school.
I have been a therapist for over 18 years. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations and have lived in five different countries. I am action-oriented and believe in actively working towards treatment goals. In each session, short treatment assignments (10 minutes a day or less) are given to keep you focused and moving forward to achieve treatment success.
I am a hype-guy by nature and a therapist by trade. My goal is to support you in meeting your goals, trusting your instincts and getting back to who and what you would have been if no one ever told you who or what to be. I already believe in you, and when we are finished, I know you will believe in you too!
I'm so glad you're here! I know it takes a great amount of courage to even begin looking for help. You may be wondering if anyone will understand you and what you are going through or if there is even any hope! Well there is, and I am here to help you! Hi! I'm Brenda. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in yoga and wellness. I offer an on-line therapy office serving folks in Kentucky, New Jersey, and Michigan. Consider me your trusted guide on your path to mental and emotional well-being. You'll notice I have a down to earth nature, and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, supportive space to unpack the early whispers of unease and the thunderstorm of overwhelming emotions.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or going through life transitions, grief, or anxiety. My approach is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth—I want you to feel comfortable being yourself in our space.
I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, where you feel heard and understood while also gaining practical tools to move forward. Whether you’re ready to make changes or just trying to make sense of things, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan and Colorado with 18 years of experience. I have worked extensively with young and middle-aged adults with various concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse and PTSD/trauma to eating disorders, relationship challenges and academic & career transition issues. You can expect a safe and non-judgmental space to share your concerns with a supportive, active listener, if you choose to work with me. We can work collaboratively towards identifying concrete solutions that address your individual needs. I am passionate about the mind-body-spirit connection in both my professional and personal life. I am an avid runner and former college athlete, practice regular meditation for my own stress management and personal growth, and I spend lots of time in nature and the outdoors with my family (husband and two boys aged 9 and 12) in all seasons kayaking, camping, hiking, and skiing/snowboarding.
I’m someone who has lived through seasons of transition, growth, and self‑definition. Because of that, I understand what it means to rebuild, question old narratives, and find your voice again. I work well with LGBTQ+ clients and show up as a trans ally, creating a space where identity is respected and affirmed. I also support survivors of sexual assault and childhood abuse, individuals managing addiction, and people who have been houseless. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, career changes, identity questions, or work–life balance, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can be real and move toward the life you want.
