Grief Therapists in Michigan

Hello! I am a licensed Masters of Social Work Clinical Counselor based in Michigan. I received my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My hope has always been to utilize my education to offer service and support to those who need a helping hand. I have worked in impatient, hospice, home care, residential, and hospital settings which has offered a wide range of knowledge in how poor mental health can negatively impact someone's life. Since 2020 I have focused my efforts on telehealth counseling which has helped me reach a population of individuals who may have not pursued therapy in the past. My goal is to be able to continue working with people who simply need a friendly and compassionate helping hand.

Hi! I am a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) based in the greater Lansing, Michigan area. I graduated from Michigan State University and have extensive experience in advance care planning, working with people with chronic health conditions, older adults, LBGTQ+ identity, caregiver stress, family dynamics, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I help people from young adulthood through late life identify and utilize their strengths to promote quality of life for my consumers.

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 home healthcare, 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. My clients typically seek support for issues related to depression, anxiety, ADHD, family conflict, LGBTQ concerns, and diverse relationship styles. As a person of faith, I am open to working with individuals of all faiths, religions, cultures, and lifestyles. I find great joy in helping anyone willing to take the first step toward creating change in their life.

I am an LMSW, soccer coach, and former collegiate athlete. Formerly the Ehrenberg Family Fellow for Athletic Counseling in the University of Michigan Athletic Department. I provided mental health and athletic performance care for up to thirty Division 1 varsity student-athletes. I received my master’s degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 2020. My passion is to help individuals become masters of themselves and to help them accomplish their goals. I work from a social justice lens to be culturally sensitive, utilizing strength-based, solution-focused interventions. I strive to work collaboratively toward clients’ objectives. I have worked with patients on athletic performance, injury support, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, sleep issues, relational stressors, grief/loss, trauma and suicidality. My approach is foundationally a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, and I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I intend to earn my certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The area I am most passionate about is the study of traumatic, toxic-stress, and mind/body symptoms. I have been interested in how trauma extends beyond some of the more historic notions of PTSD and ACEs. I myself was a collegiate athlete and, through many hardships and obstacles, on and away from the field, went through my own mental health journey. After coaching youth soccer for eight years since college, it became apparent to me that we had been neglecting the mental health of athletes and, oftentimes, of youth in general. In turn, my biggest motivation became de-stigmatizing mental health problems, particularly in the world of sport, and being a spokesperson for the value of therapy.

I'm a licensed MSW (master social worker) in Michigan. I use solution focused counseling to help you figure out what positive changes you'd like to make and what small changes you can start with. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and concerns. Solution Focused Therapy is a very practical and effective form of counseling. Most of the clients who gravitate towards my services want to take action and start making changes right away. They don't want to just talk about their problems, they want to get ideas for specific things to do and move on with their lives. They don't want to be in counseling for years and want a counselor who appreciates that too.

Hi, I’m Sema—and I get it. I know that when you’re going through a difficult time, it can feel like no one truly hears you. Sometimes, even well-meaning people try to “fix” things without fully understanding what you're going through.

Hello, my name is Lindsay. I am a licensed clinical social worker, with 10 years of counseling experience. I have a license to provide therapy to individuals living in South Carolina and Michigan. My experience has included providing direct counseling support to individuals and families struggling with mental health needs. Throughout my experience I have worked with clients from a wide range of ages, backgrounds, cultures, faiths, and identities. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. There is no doubt in my mind this is what I was meant to do with my life and career, and I have a deep passion for working with people to help them navigate the challenges life puts in our paths.

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.
