Therapists in Michigan

I trained at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, and my clinical focus since has been the intersection of substance use and mental health — what the field calls co-occurring disorders, and what most of my clients simply call the hardest thing they've ever dealt with. Addiction rarely shows up alone. It travels with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and complicated relationships.

Hi, I’m James. I have been counseling for several years. I consider myself to be compassionate, warm, and interested in learning who my clients are as people beyond just knowing what their symptoms are. The counseling experience with me is a partnership, not me pontificating to you about how you should be living your life. You are more than a partner in this process, you are the leader for managing your wellness with me offering feedback and guidance as necessary.

I'm Deondre, a Black male therapist and LMSW-C with over 10 years of clinical experience. I use CBT, trauma-focused approaches, and solution-focused therapy to help people build real skills — not just insight. My clients often tell me I'm direct, warm, and that sessions actually feel like progress. I offer a free 15-minute consultation — no commitment, just a conversation. I'm in-person in Southfield and available virtually across Michigan. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, HAP, and Ascension. When you're ready to take that first step, call or message me directly. I'd love to connect. (Other insurances also accepted, ask for details).

With over 30 years of experience in mental health, I've supported children and adults through crisis intervention and beyond. I hold a Master's in Social Work and a dual substance use credential as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I've guided individuals through diverse challenges: depression, anxiety, relationship/marital issues, work stress, grief/loss, substance use, and family conflict. If depression feels overwhelming, relationships are straining you, or family pain weighs heavy—you don't have to face it alone. Therapy provides a compassionate space to unpack your experiences and find clarity together.

Hello, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. I received my Masters from Spring Arbor University and have been practicing for 5 years.

Hello! I am a (LCSW) Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Michigan. I received my Masters from Wayne State University and have been a practicing social worker for 20 years.

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in youth, adolescent, adult, couples, and family counseling. I have practiced for over ten years and have a master's degree in education (M.Ed.) in school counseling. I currently work with clients who want to gain a better approach to their lives while going through difficulties with transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and/or life rediscoveries.

As a behaviorist, I believe that the environments in which we develop ultimately play the most significant role in our actions, decisions, and outcomes. Without the proper space for growth, healing, and self-development, one may face difficulties in achieving self-realization and self-actualization. Human-beings are social creatures – genetically designed, behaviorally conditioned, and evolutionarily driven. We possess certain intrinsic, natural needs and adaptations that have developed over millions of years. If these dualistically basic and complex needs remain unfulfilled, we will struggle to attain this self-actualization.

Do you feel discouraged, lose your temper easily, feel down and emotional, and are unable to concentrate? Have you lost joy in the things you normally love to do? Do you feel like you are losing your ability to deal with things? The power of developing a long-term supportive relationship within counseling sessions can help you control your temper, improve your relationships, and feel better about your life and where it is going. Through meditation, writing, identifying what makes you angry, and other activities change will happen. You are in control of your change. I have a Master's degree in Counseling and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 10 years. I have also worked as a Substance Abuse Counselor for 6 years. I understand how anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief can impact someone's life. I am also credentialed with Michigan Medicaid McLaren insurance.

It's important for therapists to be, first and foremost, real human beings in relation to clients. I know how to be a therapist. You know how to be you. I try to bring understanding and, when appropriate, humor into my work with people. Therapy is where you can try on different parts of yourself in a non-judgemental environment. What happens in session can reflect what you experience in your everday life. This provides you with perspective to live a more fufilling life. I work remotely, but find that this is not a barrier to real connection.

Every story deserves a witness and every voice deserves to feel heard. As a clinician I take a humanistic approach when meeting with clients. For me, Humanistic means engaging with clients and taking a non-judgmental approach while they share about the barriers they're facing in life. My goal is to create a safe space as clients work towards self-acceptance and work through difficult emotions. I have worked in the mental health field for 5+ years with a focus on helping those with developmental disabilities, and severe mental illness. I am passionate about guiding clients with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma to reach their fullest potential. Everyone has a different starting point and no matter what brings you to therapy, I'm here to meet you where you're at. Every client experience is unique and deserves to be treated as such. Working together using a humanistic approach we will work together to find what works best for you to reach your identified wants and goals. This is your story, I'm just here to be your non-judgment listener while you figure out the ending.

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.

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.

Hi, I’m Demetria Agharese, and I help people who are tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves find their way forward. My ideal clients are adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside. You may be the person everyone depends on while privately battling anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, self-doubt, burnout, relationship difficulties, or the pressure to constantly “hold it all together.” Maybe your mind won’t shut off. You overthink every decision, question your feelings, replay conversations, worry about what might happen, or feel trapped by thoughts you wish you could turn off. Maybe you’re navigating a breakup, divorce, major life transition, low self-esteem, or simply wondering, “How did I lose myself?” You don’t have to continue living that way. I offer a warm, genuine, culturally responsive, and judgment-free space where you can put down the weight you’ve been carrying and talk openly about what’s really happening. I don’t believe therapy should feel like sitting across from someone who simply checks boxes on a diagnosis list. I believe you deserve to feel heard, understood, challenged when needed, and supported throughout the process. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ERP, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, behavioral strategies, and mindfulness, I help clients break unhelpful cycles, face fears, manage difficult emotions, build confidence, establish healthier boundaries, and become less controlled by anxiety and uncertainty. Most importantly, therapy with me is collaborative. I’m not here to tell you who you should be. I’m here to help you discover who you are, understand what matters to you, and develop the confidence to live accordingly. If you’re ready to stop simply surviving and start creating a life that feels more peaceful, authentic, confident, and meaningful, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with experience working on a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I believe in creating a strong, trusting therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged. I use solution-focused techniques to assist in reaching goals and CBT techniques to help with concerns such as negative thought patterns. Every person is different, and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that is tailored to your needs. I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths, and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside, non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track.
