Welcome! I am Kimberly. Are you struggling with a temporary setback or an ongoing problem? Are you wondering if there is hope for your circumstances or relationship? I can assist you. There is always HOPE. I believe that, as human beings, we all face life challenges, be they relational, personal, emotional, spiritual, or physical, and our mental health affects how we respond to these challenges. Together, we will discover new meaning in your experiences, while identifying opportunities for healing and growth. Establishing relationship is critical to successful therapeutic outcomes and as a result, my style of work is interactive, collaborative, direct, and reflective of my focus on the transforming power of relationships. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you are making a brave choice and you deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, you will be an active participant and I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques, so you can overcome whatever is holding you back and find hope for a new beginning. If you need a seasoned, genuine, non-judgmental, and respectful counselor, who seeks to empower you to overcome your challenges and transform your life, please contact me.

Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker based in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula—and yes, I’m a proud Yooper! I’ve worked with clients across all stages of life, but I’m especially passionate about supporting older adults as they navigate the often-overlooked challenges of midlife and beyond. Whether you’re facing an “empty nest,” retirement, late-in-life divorce, family role changes, or just a general sense of feeling stuck, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can reflect, rediscover your strengths, and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. In addition to my work with older adults, I have experience serving veterans, children, and families in both rural and urban settings. I’d be honored to walk alongside you in whatever chapter you’re navigating next.

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.

Gabriela Vega is a dedicated mental health therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and is credentialed to treat Substance Use Disorders (SUD). Her earlier and current clients have presented with Borderline Personality, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, General Anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD. She has over a decade of experience in the human services field, with significant experience addressing the concerns of seniors, their families, and the diverse populations of Saint Clair and Macomb Counties. Gabriela emigrated to the United States from Peru at the age of 14, shortly after her father lost his battle with leukemia. She grew up in a challenging and impoverished community in Florida, facing significant difficulties and barriers. She started school in Florida as a native Spanish-speaking teenager, having to learn English as a new middle school student. At the age of 16, Gabriela became a single mother, which profoundly changed her life. Despite the many challenges she faced, including a lack of family support, experiences of violence, and minor run-ins with the law, Gabriela persevered. She obtained her GED and ultimately graduated Summa Cum Laude from Ferris University, later earning a Master's degree from Wayne State University. She had entered Wayne State University to continue her education after again becoming a single parent following her divorce, and re-entering the workforce. Her journey is an expression of personal resilience and determination. Gabriela credits much of her strength and her desire to become a therapist to her older sister, Juli’s experiences coming out as non-binary at the age of seven. This experience taught Gabriela valuable lessons about love and acceptance, as well as the harsh realities of societal prejudice early on. This bond continued until Juli died in 2021. Gabriela later survived the untimely death of her twenty-year-old daughter, persevering for herself and her teenage son.

Hi I'm Gaby. If you have been feeling sick and stuck in a negative thought process and wondering if there is anyone who can understand or help you, let's talk. I am here to help you experience change and escape from the pattern of life that has left you feeling different, unwell, and stuck. I am first and foremost a Trauma Informed Recovery Therapist. This means that I believe in you and I believe in your goals and I know we can find a way to get there while acknowledging all that you have been through. I realized I wanted to become a therapist during a serendipitous summer camp experience—40 feet in the air on the high ropes course, I learned that I loved helping people process challenging experiences in creative ways. I love using a lot of different approaches depending on what we are working on. Some of my favorite methods are cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, strength based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I have been doing individual therapy with teens and adults of all ages since 2020. Previously, I worked as a clinical consultant, clinical director, and clinical supervisor in specialized mental health rehabilitation settings. I have been supporting people in creating and meeting their goals since 2012. I have used all of my past work experiences to learn how to work with clients to explore dreams, and strengths, and learn how to make these things their reality. I use eclectic strategies to support people as they sort through their lives and figure out ways to move forward in a new light. I believe that therapy is a special space that allows a person to sit, process, and problem-solve in a way that can’t always be done in day-to-day.

Hello! I began my social work journey in 2006 and have been working in the mental health field since I obtained my MSW in 2008. As a clinical social worker I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of helping individuals identify and address many mental health concerns and move towards the life they most desire. I am passionate about addressing the stigma around addictions and serious mental illness and I believe the best way to begin any mental health journey of recovery is with compassion and understanding. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and I use a strengths-based orientation of empowerment to work with adults and couples. I feel that we are already our best selves-we just need some help letting go of the survival skills we've taken on to get through the toughest times in our lives. I have spent several years working exclusively with homeless veterans and individuals struggling with addiction, and this has given me additional perspective and insight into the needs of some of our most vulnerable populations. I am an advocate, an accountability partner, an empath and your greatest cheerleader. I'm excited to help you rediscover your best self and to claim the life you deserve.

I believe in therapy as someone who has done my own clinical work since I was in my mid-twenties. I grew up in NJ and moved to Michigan to attend college and have been here since that time. I spent the first part of my career working in the foster care system with children and adolescents which I really enjoyed. That gave me a great foundation for working with the adult issues of attachment, child developmental stages that were not accomplished and struggles with current relationships. I do a lot of work with people who were raised by narcissistic parents, people who are dealing with cancer diagnosis and those with chronic or life threatening illnesses. I work with people who are addressing childhood trauma, sexual abuse or emotional abuse. I have worked with adoptees who are seeking understanding of themselves and their past. I do a lot of work with individuals transitioning from a divorce situation and all the adjustments that this involves especially in coparenting situations. I find people and their life experiences fascinating and always worth unpacking and investigating to gain a better understanding of the self as a whole being; there is always something new to learn.
