Therapists in Farmington Hills, MI

Are you tired of having to educate your therapist about your cultural background, traditions and practices? Maybe you want your culture to be given consideration as a protective factor- you pull up a chair for it in every other conversation, why wouldn’t it be a part of your therapy session? On top of that, you struggle with neurodivergence and can’t seem to find a therapist who gets it- all of it. Meet Lydia. Lydia’s mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals of all backgrounds can thrive.

Do you need a safe environment where you can freely speak your mind and not receive judgment? If yes is the answer to any of these questions, there is help available!

It is difficult for children and adolescents to find an environment in which they can openly discuss the struggles that they are enduring. I work to facilitate an environment in which individuals can feel safe, supported, and understood, tailoring the dynamics within each session to meet each individuals unique needs. I then utilize an integrative approach - founded in Evidence Based Therapies - to specifically attend to each individual's needs so that they can most successfully overcome the obstacles that they are facing in their lives.
