Trauma Focused Therapists in 48104

Hello Friends! Dr. Adrianne Camero-Sulak (she/her/hers) here to chat about my private practice! My office is conveniently located in downtown Ann Arbor, blocks from the University of Michigan's central campus, where I completed my pre-doctoral internship at Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). Thankful to return to my Blue Roots (BA in Psychology from UM, AA)! Offering both in-person and virtual tele-health appointments. Live outside of Michigan? Confirm you are in one of at least 40 states that participates with PsyPact (www.psypact.org).

My therapeutic style is grounded in evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and solution-focused therapy. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, recognizing that everyone's journey is different. By incorporating a variety of techniques and strategies, I empower my clients to develop coping skills, enhance self-awareness, and build resilience. Reaching out for help can be difficult, and I congratulate you on making the first step on your journey!

Do you find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship distress, or unable to make the changes in your life that you want? Psychotherapy can be a safe and compassionate place where you could get help in working through your distress. Making the decision to begin therapy is both difficult and courageous. I offer individual and couples psychotherapy for anyone seeking insight, change, and relief in their lives. I strive to promote healing, offering a safe and nurturing environment that fosters self-compassion, collaboration, self-understanding, and an appreciation of the diverse and resilient individuals that we are.

I believe in centering the client's experience and providing a warm, affirming therapeutic environment. I utilize principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness in my work. I prioritize a holistic approach and value empathy, holding space with my clients and advocating for any needs my clients may have along their healing journey. My focus areas are anxiety, depression, identity, grief, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence. I am excited to partner with you on your therapeutic journey!

Since you can remember have people said to you: You are so sensitive! Or casually implied that you are overreacting to something? It this is you, you most likely belong to the 20% of the population who are Highly sensitive (HSP) or Empaths. Feeling criticized or singled out as different than others does not feel good, as you very well know, and it creates feelings of not good enough and of wanting to fit in with others -which make social interactions and relationships difficult at times- and not only that, it can keep you feeling stuck and powerless to change your life for the better.

My clients struggle with various issues: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, divorce / break-ups, parenting concerns, medical challenges, etc. They come to me facing ongoing loneliness, sadness, and fear. My clients expect a compassionate space in which to explore their difficulties; unconditional positive regard from me to them. I honor clients where they are at and partner with them to facilitate the healing necessary to get them to where they want to be. My clients explore how their experiences in early childhood shaped how they show up in the world on a day to day basis, sometimes in unexpected ways.

I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, families couples, and groups. My educational background includes a Ph.D. in Family Studies, a MA in Counseling, and a BA in Family Life Education. I worked in family preservation for over 10 years, I am certified in treating sexual addictions, sexual abuse recovery, and facilitating life skills. I am experienced in offering support for grief, change of life, and parenting. I am also educated and experienced in crisis intervention including but not limited to mental health emergencies, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

There are times life overwhelmingly challenged us and we somehow prevailed. However, for some of us, our thoughts, emotions, or bodies became stuck in the aftermath of it all. This may look like always feeling down, constantly on edge, or numbing life's pain away. Whether it's recent stress or a traumatic experience, the space for therapy is one where we explore the avenue that can help resolve old echoes from past experience.

OPEN for new clients! - I believe that everyone has innate value and enjoy helping each client I work with on their path to personal fulfillment. I have experience in and enjoy working with adults, children, and families from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds with a variety of presenting concerns. I work with clients of all ages to help them create the life they want to live. I work with people who are looking to relieve mood related symptoms, build communication skills, process trauma, build the capacity to navigate life transitions, regulate emotions, manage stress, and have healthier relationships.

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been in clinical practice since 1991. My work focuses on creatively integrating tools and teachings from an eclectic mixture of positive, affirming, wellness based therapeutic practices. My style is interactive, compassionate, and affirming. I am committed to inclusivity, non-judgement and providing a safe space for you to explore the challenges you are facing. My practice has included a focus on treating trauma, addiction, life transitions and other emotional challenges from a wholistic, wellness based focus.

My clinical approach is integrative, although my interventions often focus on acceptance and self-compassion while empowering my clients to make the changes they would like to see in their lives. I firmly believe that therapy should be focused on helping you become the best version of yourself, as YOU understand it. In keeping with that goal, I take great care to ensure that therapy is affirming of all aspects of diversity and identity.

As a compassionate and dedicated therapist, I am committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to individuals navigating the complexities of life. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration, aiming to empower clients to overcome challenges and cultivate a life of fulfillment and resilience. I specialize in working with adults facing a range of concerns, including intimacy and relationship issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and domestic violence. Each individual's journey is unique, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore openly.

I provide EMDR for healthcare providers, first responders and helping professionals. You work hard, but painful experiences from your past keep you stuck. Perhaps you over-schedule, over-commit, and always keep yourself busy. You listen to podcasts about stress and time management, but have a hard time relaxing because your brain won’t shut off. Or you haven’t slept well in ages, and you never feel rested. Maybe you can’t stop thinking about an incident or situation, or maybe you overreact to certain people and situations or feel jumpy and panicky. You know that you have so much more potential and are ready work to feel better now.

Therapy can offer a relationship in which individuals access their innate wisdom to heal, grow, and thrive. I cultivate a safe therapeutic space for clients to explore patterns and challenges, and experiment with new ways of regulating and connecting. Together, we can address current concerns, as well as nurture deeper levels of healing. I work with clients who are navigating life transitions, relational difficulties, and the effects of early developmental trauma. I have a special interest in supporting parents and those in the perinatal period (preconception through the postpartum).

I am accepting new clients. Please verify you have insurance that I accept. We all have some form of inner strength or resilience, but that can be hard to access when we’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed or in crisis. Life changes, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, college, work (to name a few) are all factors in our life that can be difficult to navigate at one time or another. Whatever it is that’s motivating you to seek help; you don’t have to go it alone. I provide an emotionally safe, caring, and non-judgmental space where we can work together to find your unique path forward.

Hello! I wanted to use this space to share a little about my approach to therapy to see if we'd be a good fit for each other. My approach revolves around you, the client. I believe that you are the expert of your story, your experiences, your struggles, and your goals for therapy. I will meet you where you are and provide warmth, acceptance, and empathy. I enjoy building modalities and interventions based on your needs and interests and finding what works best for you. Recognizing that as this all can be a challenging and hard thing to do, I want to create a safe and validating place for you so we can tackle what needs tackling.

I have worked with adults and couples in a variety of settings, including college counseling, hospital emergency room and inpatient floors, forensic inpatient, and veteran's hospitals. I have experience with both acute and long-term trauma, adjustment to life stressors, couple's distress and relationship problems, depression, anxiety, panic, personality disorders, and substance abuse problems. I have also received expert training in many forms of evidence-based psychotherapy, and am particularly well-versed in CBT, DBT, Integrative Behavioral Couple's Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

It’s through connection that we find meaning and discover we are not alone. I love working with clients who are curious and ready for positive change. I use Internal Family Systems, EMDR and other evidence-based tools to help my clients navigate their own process of self exploration, resolve trauma, and move in the direction of healing and growth. I believe therapy is an opportunity to explore what is unsaid or undiscovered in our experience. We can learn to hold space for the parts of ourselves most in need of our love and appreciation so we can truly live our most fulfilled life.

Do you have issues with stress, frustration, anxiety, depression, or any other emotion associated with life transitions? Understanding how to live life when you feel it is out of control is a hard reality to live with and I am dedicated to helping people understand the opportunities to control what we can. Achieving success with mental health progression with the intent to grow and succeed begins with recognizing as well as accepting the necessary steps that will lead to the positive outcomes you are striving for!
