Therapists in Michigan

I am a licensed Social Worker in Michigan. I received my Masters in Social Work from Western Michigan University in 2000. With years of experience, I want my clients to feel heard and seen. Life can feel like a roller coaster. When your up, your up. But when you are down, you can feel many unpleasant emotions and experience situations that negatively impact your mental health and your life. I help clients who want to learn new coping skills, who are ready to improve their mindset, and who want to develop a deeper sense of self which is needed to improve their mental wellness.

*Pragmatic and Practical (me) *Strong Listener (me) *Flexible, yet structured (me) *Focus on goals, objectives, and techniques to achieve the desired life outcomes or cope with undesired shortcomings (us) *Of Accountability and Responsibility (you) *Your answers lies within (you) Summary: If you're seeking a realistic approach in modifying your current circumstances maybe I can lend some assistance. Life outcomes will have a better chance to come to fruition when one's will and subsequent expectant behavior aligns themselves accordingly. And the connection is ownership of the aforementioned. Quote: "If one is not hungry, one will not eat"

I always strive to ensure that each session leaves my clients feeling as though they have gained new insights or experienced positive changes. My mission is to make a meaningful impact during every session. Throughout our time together, I aim for you to feel genuinely understood and heard. We will collaborate to find solutions, explore various options, and gain fresh perspectives on your challenges. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck, and by the end of each session, I hope you will feel hopeful and see new possibilities for healing.

"Carrie is helping me to think positively and remove my negative self-talk. She helps me recognize where I might be holding myself back and teaches me ways to challenge my self-imposed limitations. Very logical and sensible." I specialize in career counseling and workplace mental health. My focus is on supporting working professionals and college students who are struggling in their careers, education, or relationships due to anxiety or depression. Many feel burnt out, irritable, overwhelmed, and stuck. Chronic stress and rumination make it hard for them to connect with their co-workers, boss, friends, and family. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas and Michigan. I help clients struggling with burnout, anxiety, and depression bring their best selves to work. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP) with over 20 years working in career counseling, education, and mental health.

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.

Who I am My name is Danni, and I'm a Licensed Therapist. My approach is direct, heavy, and unapologetically thorough. I believe in getting to the root cause of your distress and dismantling it, brick by heavy brick. My goal is to guide you on a transformative journey toward a more fulfilling and authentic life. My Approach and Beliefs This is a form of progressive therapy, and it is driven by one core belief: that the most profound and lasting change comes from psychodynamic trauma processing and inner child work. We will not be skimming the surface. We will begin there, yes—at the surface of your current pain—but we will be following it down into the core of your past. We will find where your coping mechanisms and triggers were first formed, because our deepest parts are often stuck in the moment of their original trauma. The goal of this process is to go back to that stuck place, find safety and stability, and then walk you through the developmental stages you missed so that the "inner child" can finally grow up and become one with your current self. This is not easy. It’s intense, it can be scary, and it will require you to face things you’ve likely spent a lifetime running from. We'll be going into the depths, so you can stop just surviving and start truly living.

Over the years, I've worked across diverse community settings, including Home-Based Services, hospitals, outpatient, PHP, residential, and virtual environments.

I want you to know that I can empower you with the tools of success.

You wake up in the morning and wonder if today is the day you'll be exposed as a "fraud". Your twisting and turning on the inside. Everything inside you hurts. Your head is spinning with thoughts of what your life should be like. The voice's inside your head keep telling you you're a failure as a person, as a partner, and as a parent.

I'm Cathleen a licensed social worker in the state of Michigan. I have been a MSW for over 30 years and practicing therapy for over 10 years. As a therapist I aim to create a safe, judgment free space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. This is best realized when a client and therapist can work collaboratively. Each of us is a work in progress learning to navigate an ever-changing and complex world. Every stage in our life offers obstacles and hurdles; it is how we respond to them that determines the outcome. In the brilliant words of Ram Dass “We’re all just walking each other home.” It would be my honor and privilege to walk with you on your journey. On a personal note; I love thrifting, cooking vegan food and spending time with my senior rescue dog Gypsy.

I have over 27 years of experience assisting clients with trauma, substance use, depression, anxiety, and codependency.

Having healthy relationships is the cornerstone of a balanced life. You know that there is no better time to resolve these issues of insecurity than now. I can help. If you are feeling isolated because of your anxiety you are not alone. Many people struggle with anxiety and negative thinking and counseling can help! People who work with me tend to feel relief right away. They learn skills to manage anxious thoughts and feelings, gain confidence, and feel more secure in relationships. With counseling you can look forward to being more confident expressing yourself, feeling more fulfilled in relationships, and gaining control of your worry.

The great poet Rumi wrote "out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." That field is a space where calm, love and forgiveness exist. There is no judgement, only acceptance here. And in that soul space you are free to find those fragments of you that are lost, and begin to piece them back together. ​ I'm licensed in both Florida and Michigan. As a licensed clinical therapist and licensed substance abuse counselor, I have experience running very powerful substance abuse and co-occurring groups. Prior to that, I worked as a social worker in Flint, Michigan for many years as a therapist, caseworker and in crisis intervention. My experiences have given me such a rich experience and exposure to the many factors that contribute to our personal mental health and well-being. I've been fortunate to work with people in their homes, in the community, with their families as well as the private practice setting which have given me a much richer experience than just an of an office setting alone.

Hi there! My name is Christina and I am Certified in Neuropsychotherapy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NC and MI, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

Do you seek guidance in your life at this time? Everyone has a story to tell and I'm here to listen to yours. We may not always be able to clearly see our options to manage stress, emotional pain and confusion, so beginning therapy is a great way to process these emotions and thoughts in a safe, caring and non-judgmental way. Perhaps your fears or worries about relationships, career, a sense of inadequacy or the need to be perfect are holding you back. Therapy helps to facilitate healing and growth. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to improve your sense of success and live your life to the fullest. I've been working with teens and adults for 20 years specializing in: trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, family/relationship conflict, loss/grief, chronic illness and self esteem.

I work with each client on a individual basis first assessing for need and history taking. The focus is on current symptoms and emotional or mental stresses that make our quality of life questioned. We then goal plan together on the most prominent and impactful issues we've talked about. From there we work on those goals each session and allow for fluidity in session content while remaining focused on goal progress and symptoms reduction or elimination.
