Art Therapy in 48430

I graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with an undergraduate background in Psychology and from Michigan State University with my Masters in Social Work (MSW). I have always been passionate about working with children and learning how to understand the world from their unique perspectives. I believe that each client brings their own strengths and life experiences into therapy and that all treatment goals should reflect individual needs.

Some of my professional expertise include Christian counseling, depression & anxiety, stress/anger management, OCD, ADHD, marital, premarital, assertiveness and self-esteem, grief and loss,blended family, family, recovery from divorce, recovery from infidelity, abuse recovery, communication and listening skills, guilt, some addiction counseling, and more. I see individuals, couples, groups, children, teens, adults, families.

Is your child having behavioral or emotional issues? Have you or your child experienced trauma? I am committed to helping children, adolescents and families through these challenges through evidence based, effective quality services. I work with clients of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or who have experienced trauma.

Are you sick of feeling unheard and unseen? As a neurodivergent provider in a society that is not always neurodivergency affirming, I feel connected to clients who feel as if they are navigating life without understanding themselves or their experiences. My own experiences and training have drawn me to my passion of working with neurodivergent children and adults utilizing a neurodivergency affirming approach.

Well hello there! My name is Dalia and I am so happy that you are here! As your therapist I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can “come as you are” and explore thoughts, emotions and trauma at your own pace. My commitment to your well-being is rooted in a trauma-informed, person-centered and gender & sexuality affirming approach. This means that you are the expert of your story and your goals for therapy. I am here to provide warmth, empathy and acceptance as we embark on this therapeutic journey together.

*Now offering ADHD evaluations* My goal is to provide a relaxed environment where you feel free and supported to explore your thoughts and feelings. I work to help you recognize your true emotions that may be hiding behind initial reactions of defensiveness or anger. Together, we can identify maladaptive patterns of behavior that may be contributing to symptoms of depression or anxiety, or that may be creating barriers to communication. Identification of these patterns provides the opportunity to change them and ultimately find more joy in experiences, intimacy in relationships, and the ability to communicate effectively.

I strive to create an open and safe environment where emotions can be expressed without judgement. I have experience working with those with severe and persistent mental health disorders (anxiety and depression, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder), and emotion regulation. I have a passion for working with those who wish to better understand their emotions and learn new coping skills. My goal is to support those going through difficult life changes and help them to see their personal strengths along the way. I aspire to help end the stigma surrounding mental health and show that it should be treated with grace and kindness.

In current times, it can be easy to become overwhelmed with the stressors of life. Whether those stressors are workplace stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or whatever life may be throwing your way, we aim to help alleviate these circumstances through a safe and welcoming environment. We have several therapists at our three locations with the training and skills to help you become the best version of yourself.

Our main office is conveniently located at the northwest corner of Orchard Lake Rd and 11 Mile in Farmington Hills, with satellite offices in South Lyon, Fenton, Plymouth & Ann Arbor. Being a fully licensed psychologist and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT/S), I also offer supervision and training for clinicians. My associates add even wider range of clinical experience to the practice, including attachment issues, behavior problems, mood disorders, testing/assessments, and concerns of the LBGTQ community. We offer HIPPA compliant TeleHealth therapy services, as well as in-person sessions.
