Therapists in Oxford, MI

Sometimes when you feel broken, you need the help of another to rebuild. But where do you start when you’re seeking a therapist who is empathetic and experienced, supportive and compassionate? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years experience, I promise I am here to offer you a hand, not a judgment. Over two decades, I have worked with individuals, couples and families specializing in depression, anxiety, grief/loss, bereavement, body image, caregiver stress, family issues, relationship struggles and adjustment disorders/life transitions.

Sometimes we all struggle or go through challenges. We may need support during this time or we might see that it has become a pattern in our life that we seem to continue no matter how detrimental it may be. I believe we all deserve compassion and encouragement to grow and be our best self. I have extensive experience assisting individuals with recognizing their strengths and overcoming difficulties in their life. We will work together to increase your self worth and live the life that you deserve.

My goal is to help you work through challenges in your life by encouraging you to explore and discuss these concerns. We will develop goals to work towards change in this process. I work with adults, children, families, and couples. We can process a range of problems including career struggles, depression, anxiety, grief, ineffective coping skills, and relationship problems to name a few.

You are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the past, & uncertain about the future. Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event, or you find yourself in cycles, no matter how hard you try to break them. You feel flooded with emotion, triggered by your surroundings, & exhausted from fighting through each day. As much as you try to push away upsetting thoughts & memories, they continue to creep back into your awareness. It seems like worry is following you like a shadow, spilling over into your relationships, your professional life, & even your overall health. This leaves you feeling alone as you put on a happy face for the world around you.

Struggling with self-esteem, relationships, or childhood trauma? Alternatively, has Borderline Personality Disorder been mentioned and you're wondering if it fits your struggles? With a speciality in working with these areas, I've helped my clients improve their relationships, their ability to love and trust, and also to reach deep healing. Additionally, for those of you here and not from here seeking an internationally-experienced clinician, from my experiences working with diverse international expat populations in Tokyo, Japan, I can offer specialized services regarding struggles with the expatriate/int'l resident experience.

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.

Picture therapy as a cozy conversation with a trusted friend—one who brings warmth, humor, and genuine empathy. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, LGBTQ+ challenges, or relationship struggles, I've got your back. As a queer therapist, I offer a unique understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences, creating an inclusive environment where your journey is valued and celebrated regardless of your identities. Anticipate a judgment-free zone–only unwavering support in my office. Together, we'll explore those tough narratives and acknowledge every little win along your path to growth and healing.

Seeking help is never easy. Too often society equates vulnerability and willingness to ask for help with weakness. I'm here to tell you that your vulnerability is a strength! If you are struggling and want to tear down the walls that have kept you feeling isolated, I'm here to help!

My work with clients often focuses on addressing trauma and loss/grief, clarifying values, finding meaning and purpose, and increasing a sense of belonging. I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP). The purpose of therapy is to have an affirming place to safely explore and grow in ways defined and determined by you. I consider how identities (gender identity, race, sexuality, class, (dis)ability, religion, etc.) shape your experiences and how they help us understand what wellness means to you.

At the core of my ethos as a therapist is the notion of empowered connection, whether that be empowering you to connect with yourself, the people around you, or your wider community. Both in therapy and in life, I practice non-judgment, empathy, and compassion, and I hope to create a space for you that feels warm and safe.

Everyone has times in their lives when stress seems overwhelming, when ways that we use to cope just aren't working anymore, or are even making the situation worse. Even more so coming out of a pandemic. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself or isolating and want to change. Counseling can help you to move forward at times when you feel stuck, can help you to develop new coping skills and tools to manage life's challenges, and rediscover the strength inside you. I provide an accepting, non-judgmental, confidential environment, and a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings with a caring, compassionate listener.

Hello! I'm Ana and I might be your next (or first ever!) therapist. My practice focus tends to be on anxiety (including anxiety disorders), self esteem building, PTSD, C-PTSD, ADHD, trauma cycle breaking, relationship issues, emotional abuse/neglect recovery, depression, and other mood disorders. I try to use humor in my practice, when appropriate, and I strive to build a strong and meaningful rapport with all of my clients and each relationship is unique! I am a strong advocate for social justice and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.

I work with individual adults, couples, and polycules on issues related to developmental trauma, attachment, relationship problems, and emotion regulation. These issues might show up as difficulty connecting with others, frequent interpersonal conflict, mood swings, substance use or self harm behavior, or fears of abandonment. We will work together to create new understanding around these problems and new experiences connecting with others in a meaningful way. I am dedicated to creating celebratory, non-judgmental spaces for queer and trans folks and people who practice polyamory or other ethical non-monogamy.

Welcome! I pride myself on building a therapeutic relationship that allows for transparency and vulnerability. I believe this relationship is the key to effective therapy. It allows me to gain an understanding of your past, present and where you would like to see yourself in the future. Developing this foundation affords us the opportunity to create a client centered approach to addressing your concerns. I utilize a blend of evidence based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, art therapy, and psychoeducation.

I'm interested in working with clients who are curious about learning more about themselves and dedicated to their own healing journey. My ideal client is someone who is open to explore how creative processes might lend a fresh perspective to their healing & growth. I feel honored being able to be part of a person's healing journey & to participate in their growth. Helping empower others to honor their own intuition is a big goal for me as a therapist.

Do you find yourself struggling with anger, guilt or sadness no matter what you do?

Most of all, you are ready to have happiness in your life and find hope in your future. Clients come to me looking for a therapist that will meet them where they are.

Whatever brings you to therapy, I would be honored to help you find a way forward. We can collaborate to understand what is not working for you, how it came to be, and how we can find a path through together.
