Therapists in Michigan

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. You feel the the "weight of the world" pushing down on you. You're tired. You're tired of being tired. You are ready to reclaim your life. You are ready to make a change!

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion in order to allow my clients to thrive. I will help you identify the things you want to be different in your life and develop skills and a plan for reaching your desired goals.

Dealing with stress is something that everyone experiences, regardless of age or life stage. It can become overwhelming in various situations, such as: - Being a teenager battling self-esteem issues - Being a young adult trying to find your identity - Being a parent trying to find a balance between family and work life - Struggling in a relationship because of past trauma - Trying to move forward but grief is controlling you Neglecting your mental health can lead to not just a lackluster life, but a miserable one. I can address any concerns you have through therapy. My goal is to help you navigate your emotions instead of telling you what to do about them so that you can find peace and happiness for yourself. That could look like: - Waking up without dreading what your day entails. - Facing the world with confidence. - Having the courage to say no. - Setting healthy boundaries. - Celebrating life instead of fearing the inevitable.

Do you ever want to feel validated, heard, understood, and not judged by others? Are you still recovering from pain due to grief or trauma? Some days it feels like you are alone and misunderstood, but it does not have to be that way. Based on my experience as a clinical therapist, I specialize in working with Teens and adults focusing on but not limited to anger management, anxiety, depression, grief and loss with a vision to empower clients to feel confident, assurance within themselves, closure and normalize feelings with reasonable solutions and coping skills to manage everyday life.

Hi, I'm Jenae! Ever feel like you're carrying the world on your shoulders, thinking you have to handle everything alone, only to feel suffocated by it all? It's a common struggle, believe me. But here's the scoop: counseling isn't about getting a to-do list or being labeled "weak" for reaching out. It's about finding a cozy spot to unpack what's on your mind and in your heart. It's a sanctuary where you can just be you, no judgments or expectations. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, know this: seeking help is a brave move towards healing. You're not alone in this journey. I'm here to guide you towards understanding your thoughts, emotions, and actions better. With an authentic, easygoing, and even enjoyable approach, I create a safe, judgment-free zone where you can freely talk about your concerns. Together, we'll develop a roadmap towards a more fulfilling life that aligns with your values and desires. If you're feeling the weight of stress in any area of life – personal, relational, familial, professional – I assist you in understanding the impact emotionally, physically, & mentally. You'll discover how to leverage your brain's capabilities to navigate life more effectively. Let's turn current problems into growth opportunities!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 18 years of clinical experience. My Bachelor’s degree was earned from Rochester University where I was recognized as magna cum laude and graduated with honors in psychology. I went on to earn my graduate degree in Counseling from Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with various concerns and I am paneled and accept almost all insurance providers, to include Medicaid. My range of expertise includes depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, intimate relationship conflicts, substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and oppositional behavioral problems. ****please note that I do not take court ordered clients*****

My goal is to be the last therapist you have to see, that when we are done working together you have the skills to be able to manage life on your own. I love facilitating change and would love to help you develop a better way of being. I have found that developing a better relationship with yourself is essential for many people to achieve their goals. Self-awareness is not self-criticism. Having had experience working with many different people from many different backgrounds and issues has helped me to see how I can fit the tools I carry into something useful for you.

Over the years, I've worked across diverse community settings, including Home-Based Services, hospitals, outpatient, PHP, residential, and virtual environments. My experience spans working with children, teens, adults, and older adults (geriatric population) facing challenges such as homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, COVID-19, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression, and more. I understand that you may be going through a difficult time. Life brings many challenges that can cause one to feel anxiety, stress, worry, and doubt. Does this sound like you? I want you to know that I can empower you with the tools of success.

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.

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.

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.

Hello potential client! You are hurting in some way if you are here reading this. Maybe you feel like you are getting more and more stressed out and just one more stressor would be too much for you to handle. Maybe you worry all the time about everything and can't stop. Maybe you are sad all the time and don't enjoy doing things that used to be fun. Maybe you are feeling helpless or hopeless about what to do. Maybe you have been through a traumatic experience or are grieving. Maybe you are thinking the way you have been using substances is causing you problems. You have tried your best to help yourself but nothing has worked the way you hoped it would. You don't know what to do but you do know you can't keep going the way you have been. This is where I come in! I help people who are ready to change for the better!

I also offer Christian counseling to those who are interested and am also happy to work with people of other spiritual beliefs.
