Non-Binary Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

Sometimes we all need somebody to genuinely meet us where we are at in life with radical acceptance and compassion for who we are and where we want to go from here. But searching for the right person to connect with can be a daunting prospect, especially if you or your loved ones have been met with societal rejection and systematic oppression. As such, my primary goal in therapy is to cultivate an inclusive, warming environment where you can safely and freely express your authentic self, which is why you deserve to know a little about me as well.

Holistic wellness is about finding a seat in a world increasingly marked by systemic barriers. Very often, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals aren't given seats at tables, or even welcomed into rooms that would make life more accessible. I see therapy as a folding chair—a portable, adaptable, and transformative support system that we unfold into our lives to create our own spaces to thrive. My ideal client is open, ready, and willing to work on themselves, name their inner demons, and resist the systemic barriers that have tried to dictate their paths.

Creating and holding space for folks to feel safe in, share, be authentic, be vulnerable, and heal is something I have felt called to do throughout my life. I am an adamant believer that individuals are the experts on their own experience, and that includes providing space to discuss the impacts of various forms of oppression you face. I view therapy as a partnership on a journey toward healing, for which an affirming and non-pathologizing space is essential.

*NO OPENINGS* Hello! I’m Fitz. I believe my role as a therapist is to help empower clients explore affirming opportunities for growth and define their own path to wellness. I acknowledge the inherent power dynamic in the therapeutic relationship and the harm this has/can cause. I orient myself in multicultural feminist and humanistic perspectives, engage in collaborative treatment planning, and acknowledge how multiple oppressions/identities impact folks’ experiences to help de-pathologize symptoms and re-center power in client’s hands. I am white, non-binary, queer, able-bodied and am committed to life-long anti-racism work.

Hi there! Welcome to your therapy journey. Whether you are brand new to therapy, or an old hand, I promise I am going to do my best to help you figure out who you are, what you want out of life, and most importantly, how to go about it. My life experience has taught me that there is no one size fits all approach to therapy. I strive to be warm, flexible, and accepting of many people in different walks of life from ages 16 to 96 (and beyond). I enjoy working with "creative types" like myself. I am LGBTQIA+ identified and accepting. I also have extensive experience with elders over 65, memory loss, and caregiver burnout.

Throughout my career, my primary focus has been working with clients with either severe traumatic experiences and/or extensive trauma histories.I love working and supporting people through life transitions and exploration of identity. I have worked with many clients who hold identities within the LGBTQIA2+ community. I can relate to many of the challenges experienced by members of marginalized, oppressed, and minority communities. A portion of my professional career has included working with primarily BIPOC clients in Detroit, veterans, people living in different-sized bodies, and those who have concerns around foster care/adoption.

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.

We all need a little help navigating our lives sometimes. Whether you are facing day-to-day struggles such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, life transitions, and relationship/intimacy issues, or grappling with deeper existential questions about worldview, identity, climate change, and the state of the world, I am here to provide support and resources.

I believe therapy is a space where you can unload things that you are struggling to carry alone, develop clear insight, build greater self-compassion, and address barriers that keep you from achieving your goals. The first step in doing any one of these things is building a strong relationship with your therapist. I strive to make this possible by providing an open, judgement-free, and warm space where you can share who you are and what you are struggling to manage. I regularly work with folx age 14 and up on finding ways to manage their anxious or depressive thinking, and alleviate their stress.

Accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth. Are you grappling with difficult thoughts, feelings, or experiences? Are you looking to unpack how past experiences show up in your day-to-day life? This work can feel daunting or difficult to do alone, and it can feel extremely vulnerable. This is probably why you're seeking an insightful and compassionate therapist; someone who can assist you in building coping skills and alleviating the symptoms you encounter, while meeting you where you're at. I hope to provide the services you need to meet your mental health goals.

I often work with people who have experienced stress and trauma in their life. They have often used disconnection from themselves and the world to cope with feeling unsafe or powerless. They feel they have had to mask who they are or what they are feeling in order to have relationships. My hope is to build a "safe enough" client/counselor relationship in which all parts of you can feel welcome. The therapeutic relationship often mirrors other relationships in your life, so I will be addressing our relationship dynamics and communication as part of the therapeutic process.

Big life changes, like leaving a job to pursue a passion or moving to a new city to start a new life chapter & anything in between, can be hard to navigate. While these can be exciting adventures, these changes can surface lots of difficult feelings in addition to painful memories of moments from our past. Sometimes we feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed & lost in these situations. Many of us are told to feel happy about these changes, but that might not align with our lived experiences. You’re not alone in this - we can work together to help you find comfort in navigating all of these things.

Our literal and figurative diasporas disrupt the connection we have to our existential, somatic, relationship, and environmental health. I specialize in supporting the diasporic health of disabled, queer and/or trans, racialized lived experience of all income classes whose experiences are sometimes called Au/DHD, BPD, and/or (C-)PTSD. In our sessions, we'll co-develop practices and rituals you need to thrive with and within your community. Using person-centered and strength-based evidence-based practices, we can map, structure, process, and equip you to navigate life’s terrains.

I'm excited to work with queer/trans emerging adults who are struggling with perfectionism, isolation, and adjustment difficulties. I believe that therapeutic change comes from the process of building and maintaining relationships while remaining connected to our sense of self, including within the therapy room. I work primarily from a relational and psychodynamic stance, meaning that I am interested in how your past experiences impact you in the present. My approach to therapy is also informed by how we act and feel in relationships and what our bodily sensations tell us about our environment.
