If you're struggling, we're here to help. Everyone has times when life is stressful, something isn’t working, or they have hurdles to overcome. We're here to help you cope with life's ups and downs. We’ll help you set and reach goals that move you forward. We know therapy isn’t easy - and we also know it’s so worthwhile. We’ll work to build a relationship of trust, caring, and compassion - one that honors and appreciates your willingness to share your experiences and struggles.

As a therapist, I value creating a safe and non-judgmental space to learn with individuals about their authentic experiences. In efforts to help clients live a life most fulfilling to them, I believe that compassionately discovering who you are, connecting to emotions, and navigating the complexities of life is something you don’t have to do alone.

NOW accepting new clients for teletherapy! You want to heal, but feel lost, pressured, or self-critical? We all need extra help sometimes navigating difficult situations, transitions, trauma, or relationships, and the stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem that can ensue. I can’t wait to empower you to take control of your life and grow into your new path. Each person is unique, so I adapt my therapeutic interventions to your strengths, current needs, and goals using an integrative, culturally-sensitive approach. My practice is online only, using HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing, to make help more accessible to you.

In my private practice, I specialize in working with the transgender and non-binary community: adults, teens and children who identify as transgender and parents with a child or adult child who identifies as transgender or non-binary. While trans identified individuals face many of the same challenges as cisgender people, such as depression, anxiety and relationship concerns, I am also aware of the challenges unique to transgender and non-binary people and their loved ones including discrimination, stigma, rejection, and oppression.

I love helping people heal and live more fulfilling lives. I will work to help you find the self-compassion, acceptance, confidence, and concrete skills you need to address past traumas and make the changes you want in your life. I work from a humanistic, feminist, and trauma-informed framework and utilize DBT, CBT, MSC, somatic, and other approaches to best help my clients. I have over 20 years of experience treating clients (many are U of M students) who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, self-esteem, adjustment, relationship issues, and other concerns. I combine talk therapy with practical exercises

Do you want to feel more intimate with your partner? More deeply connected? More attraction, more desire, a more intense level of loving sexual intimacy? I want to help. I love helping couples get the deep emotional and sexual intimacy they want in their relationship. When sexual problems occur, it can seem to signal a problem with the relationship or with you. But that's NOT true! In fact, the kind of intense real intimacy that lasts for years is not usually automatic. In fact, a good road map makes all the difference.

Are you insecure, irritable, angry, confused or anxious? Are you uncertain about your direction in life? Do you lack spark? Are you having trouble in your relationships? Do you find yourself performing below your abilities? Are you confused about why you do the things you do? I have worked with a variety of problems including but not limited to anxiety, anger, sexual identity, depression, sports performance and relationship issues.

**Currently I am not taking new clients** I focus on the client's strengths to help cope with the challenges that life brings. I take a behavioral approach to understanding ourselves, our relationships, and how change is possible. Working with parents and families to bring understanding and skills of how to make our relationships stronger and more functional day to day.

Teletherapy in MI, WA, and VT; in person MI. If you're an adult or college student experiencing anxiety, depression, climate anxiety, or other concerns, you deserve support. My approach focuses on how you have developed as a person, how context affects your life, and how your symptoms are playing a role in your life. The end result of therapy can be not only a change in your symptoms but also a deeper self-awareness and a greater satisfaction in many areas of your life. I've worked and trained in community clinics, a college counseling center, and in hospital outpatient and inpatient clinics, as well as in climate-conscious therapy.

Relationships are central to my work, whether it be the relationship between a child or adult and myself, or the complex web of relationships within a family. My training and experience in Infant Mental Health--a type of therapy focusing on the attachment relationship between a primary caregiver and and an infant or young child--permeates all aspects of my work. I believe that therapy cannot separate an individual from the context of his or her relationships, past or present. I am creative and flexible in my approach to working with the children, teens, adults and families that I serve.

Welcome! I am Nina. I received my BA in Psychology from UCLA, and a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am passionate about helping those who struggle with confidence, identity, and motivation. For those who feel dispensable, unimportant, faded into the background, and as side characters in an unfamiliar story, I provide guidance in finding comfort and “home” within themselves.

I’m a very passionate therapist that centers her work around being trauma informed and client centered. I provide individual psychotherapy to adults that have a range of complex issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, identity and much more. I work with clients using an intersectional and social justice lens that has been developed over years of working with oppressed communities such as survivors on domestic and sexual violence. The strength-based approach I use, helps clients look within the blackness to find the light.

Therapy works best when the environment and therapeutic relationship feel safe, non-judgmental, and supportive for individuals. I value the importance of how intersecting identities may impact one's mental health and recognize the unique experiences and challenges that come with them. My therapeutic approach is adapted to allow space to balance the exploration of thoughts and feelings (process) and address the specific issues or topics that someone may bring up (content). I value working with each person with an understanding of the importance of both insight and tangible change in clients' lives.

All people deserve to live healthy, satisfying lives. Our intention is to help clients find ways to increase insight, clarity, balance, and meaning. We are passionate about the intersection between psychotherapy, research, and contemplative mindfulness with a goal of supporting clients on their journey to wellness and self-discovery. Connally Counseling is an agency committed to providing affirming care to LGBQIAA, Transgender folx, Queer-Identified, those exploring gender, sexuality, kink, polyamory and their families.

I believe that an effective therapy relationship is one in which you feel heard, respected and accepted as you are. From this place transformation and growth can occur.

Greetings! My name is Jatera and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist specializing in Trauma Focused Care for Adults. I graduated in 2011 from Eastern Michigan University with my MSW degree in Family & Children Services. I also have been trained as a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist by the National Institute for Trauma and Loss. I have 15 plus years of clinical and case management experience across a variety of settings and age groups. I use a blend of evidence-based programs and practices including EMDR, CBT, Exposure, Cognitive Processing, DBT, ACT, Imagery Rehearsal, MI, Solution-Focused

Empathy and compassion are foundational in my practice. I focus on creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that clients should be able to bring their whole selves into their sessions without fearing judgement or a lack of compassion. Together, my hope is that we can build a therapeutic relationship that invites you to take a step back and reflect, knowing you are being supported.

I partner with clients looking to expand self-insight, self-compassion and resilience amid life's challenges. My work addresses the low mood and anxiety that can come from managing chronic illness, difficult family relationships, infertility, caregiving, and grief and loss. I also work with younger clients navigating the unique challenges of early adulthood. Together we'll develop therapeutic goals and a treatment plan tailored to your strengths and values, and grounded in a safe and trusting therapeutic partnership.

My clients often believe they are a burden to others. They think they need to be perfect to be loved and that it would overwhelm others to know how they really feel. These beliefs leave them feeling anxious, lonely, ashamed and unhappy. They often isolate and use pornography, video games or substances to numb themselves. They may seek advice online, but find this information unhelpful. They may beat themselves up in frustration. Often, they seek therapy to have: better relationships; security and trust to express their needs; greater motivation and a sense of control over their life; and the confidence to be their authentic selves.
