Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

Over the course of our lives, we learn effective responses to difficult life events and systemic ways of being in society. Sometimes, these core beliefs and skills become 'dysfunctional' and block us from experiencing our best and unique selves later in life. I help individuals, couples and families to work through these, in order to access, experience and express their own inner wisdom and joy. In a safe and comfortable space, people feel seen and heard, they heal and grow strong and experience joy.

We also have experience working with addiction, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors and the family who support them.

My focus is helping individuals create a culture of emotional awareness that leads to healing, joy, and empowerment.

Hello! I'm a Clinically Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) located in Michigan. With over 5 years of experience, I have dedicated my practice to supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and family/relationship challenges.

Hi there! My name is Radha, I am a sex therapist who provides an affirming space for BIPOC Transgender, Non-binary and Queer/2SLBGIAA+ identified individuals and couples/triads/polycules to explore and understand sex/intimacy/sexual health and gender through trauma informed care. I provide a Feminist and Multicultural framework centering Pleasure as an everyday experience. I provide somatic and sensorimotor focused work exploring how current or past trauma impacts feeling present in your body and feeling attuned in your relationships. We will also explore how larger oppressive systems can interfere with pleasure.

I have almost 30 years of experience treating children, adolescents, adults and families facing a multitude of life issues and transitions. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives and strive to provide a safe,supportive, confidential and nurturing environment in which to do this work.

Throughout life, it is possible to find ourselves on a journey we believe is impossible to complete. Through therapy, we learn that no journey is impossible; however sometimes we must detour...delay...revisit...or speed up! This analogy speaks to the true essence of therapy, helping others to navigate obstacles that present themselves along their journey. I will partner with you to find your path to a healthy existence despite any detours you encounter.

It can't rain all the time... but sometimes it feels like it can. We work hard against the elements, pushing ahead while the droplets sting our cheeks. These trials come, but we can get through them - YOU can get through them. I am willing to walk through the rain with you, if you will have me. I enjoy working with people of all ages as they transition through challenging times or learn something new about themselves! I am also fascinated by the nature and importance of family dynamics and our perceptions of personal resilience on our own mental health.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. -Wayne Dyer I have a strong passion for the counseling profession, as well as a desire to empower and advocate for every single client. I am a counselor who supports clients in overcoming their challenges. As a counselor, it is my role to assist clients towards meeting their goals while also providing an encouraging environment while we work together. Clients can express themselves freely while I ensure every counseling session is a safe space and place for them. As a counselor, I strive to build the best client and counselor relationship possible.

Everyone deserves to have a good day and a better tomorrow. I realize that taking on a personal change out of desire or necessity is often harder than it sounds. I work with all ages, life-stages, and conditions. People arrive with their bag of “stuff”: hopes, disappointments, wounds, trauma, diagnoses, and connections. I start where you are and work with you to create a path to a place of well-being.

It is wonderful that you decided to begin the process of finding a therapist. I think that it is vital that you find someone that is a good fit for you. It is important to create an environment that is free of judgment so that you can feel safe expressing yourself. The way we form our identity is complex, many roles play a factor including our environment, family history, current relationships, and lifestyle. Through the journey of life, events both positive and painful help to mold us. The path of healing and exploration into yourself can lead to a stronger, happier, healthier you.

I am a multi-degreed licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in Michigan. The goal is to assist my clients in working through issues that negatively affect them in their daily lives. I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement afterward.

Life is hard! Pause for a moment and give yourself credit for taking this brave, difficult step. You're respecting your struggles AND looking for constructive ways to address them. I use a collaborative and exploratory (rather than expert) model to help you develop/access resources to navigate life's difficulties. I use approaches supported by research while recognizing the limits of evidence-based therapies which often need to be adapted, abandoned, or incorporated with other practices to meet a person's realities, needs, and strengths. I strive to create a safe supportive relationship and deeply value feedback and dialogue.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. Each individual brings new and different elements to culturally reoccuring problems. Our work together usually enriches us both. As a CBT therapist, I believe the value of changing thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. These strategies are especially effective for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and interpersonal interactions. I am also an advocate for personal choice and self care. So while changing thoughts and attitudes is helpful, the client decides which thoughts and attitudes they want to change. Finally, I supplement CBT with practical strategies for relationships, healthy lifestyles, relaxation, problem solving and general coping.

I provide individual and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of concerns, difficulties, and/or challenges. May you or your child be looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation, ready to move in a new direction in life, or want to develop increased insight into your self and your life, I look forward to working with you and/or your child to better understand and resolve personal or life challenges.

You are not alone. Change is possible. I am honored and excited to walk beside you during your process of change. It is a difficult decision to choose therapy. I welcome you without judgement and with a great deal of hope. I empower my clients to find their strength and voice through compassionate listening and empathy. I am a licensed Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the Mental Health field. I have a deep passion for helping people with drug/alcohol addiction, no matter their stage of change. I enjoy working with older aged adolescents, adults, families and couples.

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.

If anxiety and/or depression are getting in the way of a good life, I am in business to help you get on a better track. Perhaps a relationship is faltering or has recently ended and you are looking for extra support. I have particular interest and training in the following areas: Issues involving Relationship troubles and trauma, sexual orientation and gender expression (LGBTQ), Couples Counseling (EFT- Emotionally Focused Therapy), Mindfulness and Body/Emotion connections.

My work is short term and solution focused. I draw on several therapeutic approaches, depending on the nature of the problem, including behavior therapy, family therapy and strategic therapy. I have a diverse background from 50 years of experience in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults. I am expert in a number of psychotherapeutic approaches, including short-term solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, family-systems therapy, and psychoanalytic therapy. I developed an evidence-based wellness program with a positive psychology emphasis at the Ann Arbor VA Hospital.
