I see clients in person and online.
Are you and your partner stuck in painful emotional cycles that leave you both feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed or alone? For example, do you or your partner feel defensive when one of you voices your concerns? Does it feel like your partner doesn't care about your feelings, needs or longings? Is it difficult to work together toward common goals or do you fight over the smallest of details? Even in the most loving relationships, these negative cycles can show up when partners have different ways of responding to emotional stressors within the relationship or from external sources such as jobs, family, illness or friends.

You hold it all together—but inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted. You’re the one people rely on: capable, high-achieving, always pushing forward. But no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough. You might struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, or a nervous system that’s always “on.” Maybe you’ve wondered if ADHD or past emotional neglect affects how you show up in relationships or work.
I’m Dr. Cheruba Dhanaraj—a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with a PhD in Counseling and over 15 years of experience. I work with ambitious, thoughtful individuals who are ready to feel more.

I work with individuals, couples, and families ready to explore patterns, build connection, and move toward healing. Are you navigating a tough transition? Whether that’s a shift in a relationship, identity, role, or season of life. You may feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you, unsure of how to move forward, or feeling overwhelmed by the emotions that change brings. You might be feeling disconnected from yourself, your partner, or your family, and there might be a longing for more clarity, deeper connection, and a sense of grounding.

I am taking new clients, and I am available for video, phone, or in-person sessions.
I practice evidence-based treatment rooted in science. My goals are to help clients alter negative repetitive patterns, defuse from overwhelming destructive behaviors, and create movement toward what is really important in their lives. I use acceptance and mindfulness skills, combined with behavior-change strategies, to help clients increase psychological flexibility. I believe that psychological suffering is caused by avoiding emotions and life experiences, which results in psychological rigidity, and greater suffering.

Life is a roller coaster that can be very stressful. I have been there! I am here to help you get through the tough times. What can you do when you feel tired and overwhelmed?

I work with females ages 10-100. I use various models like CBT, DBT, solution-focused and trauma-informed therapy. I also love to incorporate humor and laughter into our time together. Let's talk and see if I can help.

Are you going through a difficult change and need some support? Or maybe you are feeling "stuck," like you're repeating patterns and behaviors that are keeping you from having the life you want. Perhaps you're struggling with feelings of anxiety, sadness, or lack of purpose. I believe in the power of human connection. Sometimes when we struggle, we don't want others to see our pain, so we isolate and keep it to ourselves. We may even paste on a smile and tell everyone we're "fine." Every single person on this planet experiences struggles, and reaching out for help is one of the bravest and kindest things you can do for yourself.

We were designed as unique, intricate people and I hope you’ll find it healing to give space to process through all parts of yourself. You will see my personality in our time together (warm, welcoming, direct) and I hope to see yours, too! Together, we can determine your goals.

Overwhelm takes a toll. We may not recognize ourselves, our relationships, or the world around us. This is a difficult and often exhausting place to be. Whether you are managing complex trauma, a distressing event, or you are feeling unsure, but curious, about your connection to yourself and the world around you, I am interested in your story and your goals. There is no one way to heal. I am trained in a variety of approaches to provide options, and as a relational therapist I value your input.

I believe that people do have the ability to change but often need a little help to reach their goals. I have been successful working with clients who are struggling with addictions, interactions with the legal system, family issues, as well as childhood trauma.
