Grief Therapists in Highland Park, MI

My name is Ms. Okiymo Manica and I’m here to service the needs of the community. I'm available during the school year virtual only and then in-person in the summer. I enjoy working with youth, teens and adults. I'm here to help equip everyone with strategies to help deal with grief, anger, depression and isolation. I believe when you have someone to listen to and assist with your goals people do better. Together we can over come those barriers that hinders the developmental growth in a young persons life.

Are you seeking purpose in your life? Do you feel that your life is out of control and in need of redirection? Have you experienced a loss so devastating that the grief is unbearable? At times it can feel like we are struggling to exist in the world. But I assure you this is not where the story has to end. My passion to become a therapist was a direct result of the loss of my mother. Even in the pain of our experiences, there is still hope. Hope exists within us. It is embedded in our being. We just have to tap into it, and do the work to meet our desired goals.

I approach therapy with the ideology that life is a culmination of interconnected parts. Feelings stem from experiences, experiences influence perceptions, and subsequently guide many of the decisions one makes in life. When individuals experience stagnation or challenges, it may be connected to an array of life experiences. This may lead to a challenge with seeing beyond that which is. The subsequent result may serve as a breeding ground for emotional and physical pain, challenges in interpersonal relationships and unresolved grief.

Life is full of surprises. No matter how much you prepare and plan, unexpected events may occur. I believe that therapy is an essential tool to help prepare you to cope with the unexpected as well as the stressors of everyday life. I am passionate about normalizing therapy by educating people on the benefits and necessity of having an unbiased listening ear to help work through life events. I strive to provide a comfortable environment where clients feel safe to share their most vulnerable thoughts and ideas. I will work as an advocate to help my clients become empowered in their ability to cope with whatever life throws at them.

I am Diana. My motivation in pursuing a career as a clinical therapist is to help others grow a deeper understanding of themselves. I've worked in the mental health field since 2014. Graduated from Wayne State University in 2018 with a Master of Social Work degree and received a graduate certificate in alcohol and drug abuse studies. Working as a clinical therapist since 2018 within outpatient community mental health, a residential treatment center, and currently at a group practice has shown that empathizing with individuals' needs allows me to help passionately achieve their mental health goals.

Therapy is the work of enlightenment, healing and creation. It's rediscovering ourselves and our power, healing the wounds endured in life, and creating a new way to experience life and love. This is the work of self-introspection. For me, this is life's work and my passion transcends beyond session. For over 10 years as a Social Worker, I have been building extensive experience overseas, in the edges of society here in the US, and have 6 years of working with those nearing end of life and families/individuals grieving.

My passion has always been to help people and to make a difference. I provide a welcoming, judgement free environment where we will work together towards growth and healing.

Let’s be honest. People don't care what you know until they know that you care. I have been in your position before. Shuffling through profiles with uncertainty of if I would finally find someone who understands and can help. My empathy derives from being where you are before. We all face stumbling blocks in life. Noticing unhealthy relationship patterns? Interested in coping skills and boundary setting? Have you experienced trauma? Had difficulties moving forward due to grief/loss? Together, we can process concerns and meet realistic goals. There is no time better than now to become a better version of yourself.

Development of a healthy therapeutic relationship can be a beneficial experience. The process of establishing this relationship entails personal time to explore thoughts, emotions, wants, hopes and dreams in a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.
