Therapists in Troy, MI

My focus is to facilitate a relaxed and comfortable therapeutic environment that promotes open sharing. My individual style centers around an exploratory conversational approach and offers my patients the opportunity to express themselves without fear of judgment.

Life can be difficult to deal with and quite truly, be overwhelming at times. Whether you are dealing with the loss of a loved one or work has you worn down, I will walk through your life stresses with you by being a support system. My goal for you is to reach a place of confidence in yourself to be able to work through whatever life brings your way.

The trial and error of navigating school stress, family/peer relationships, and normal development can be a particularly difficult time for young people and their families. This stress can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and loneliness; children and teens may act-out, isolate themselves, or engage in self-harm behaviors. It is my goal to provide children/teens and their families with the support, information, skills, and resources necessary for the client to navigate this difficult stage and develop into a successful and well-adjusted young adult.

I know there are a lot of therapists out there. How do you find the right one for you? It is an important decision. Seeking help is the first step in your journey and I am proud of you for wanting something different for yourself. As a therapist, I have the privilege to work with individuals through some of their darkest seasons of life. I do not take that lightly. I offer a comfortable, safe, and judgment free environment. I encourage clients to become more connected with themselves, identify emotions, and gain insight to promote healing.

Welcome. You can create the life that you are meant to live. My name is Anahid (pronounced Ah-nah-heed), and I desire to help you connect more deeply with yourself... shift unhealthy patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck... heal from the past and unleash its holds... and free you up to beautifully move forward with purpose and passion. If you dream of a meaningful life and are ready to no longer merely exist, I invite you to take a powerful step and call me... and enjoy your exciting journey ahead.

I believe that everyone can benefit from gaining insight and awareness into their lives, and has the capacity to change what is not working for them. I will walk alongside of you in a nonjudgmental, empathetic manner offering you a confidential and safe space to share openly.

In therapy, I work with clients in finding resolutions for the challenges they are currently facing by helping to improve self-esteem, understand current problems within a larger life context, enhance personal growth and develop more fulfilling ways of living. My goal is to help clients address and overcome obstacles that may be preventing them from achieving their potential and living a rewarding and meaningful life.

Everyone can use help getting through life's challenges, especially when life feels hopeless or impossible. Sometimes the thought of talking about our problems, our past, and our trauma's can feel debilitating and even crippling. This is why I specialize in EMDR. With this modality I can help you alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. After successful treatment with EMDR you will notice your affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced. This means you can move forward in life feeling more in control of yourself and your emotions and behaviors.

Cultures are tricky even when we live in the same country. Do you feel it's difficult to be fully understood? Do you feel 'conflict with others' happen often? Sometimes, we feel lonely, lost, and discouraged when going through life transitions, good or bad. Transition could be a divorce, a loss of a loved one, a new cultural/sexual identity, or even an exciting new job. You don’t have to go through those transitions alone. Therapy is a safe space for you to explore the complex emotions that come with those changes.

Nothing feels more powerless than watching your teen shut down from trauma, social isolation and bullying, and use self-harm or aggression as a relief from pain. Young people don't always know how to express what they're feeling with words. Often their behaviors tell the story of how they feel. When those behaviors are stemming from inner conflict and pain, it's not just acting out - it's cry for help. We need to identify the root cause... and help them get on the right track so they start using their feelings as a guide, and navigating their emotional system toward self-love, self-worth and true confidence from the inside out.

The obstacles that come our way in life can at times seem unbearable and difficult to face. Whether you are experiencing personal struggles or a distressing relationship, I can help. I believe these challenges are experienced differently, and therefore, I offer a therapeutic approach tailored to individual and relationship needs. I am committed to providing a safe and private environment where together we can explore, deepen understanding, and address the problems at hand.

My area of specialty is in clinical neuropsychology. I conduct diagnostic evaluations for autism, learning disabilities, concussion, age related changes, and ADHD. I work with individuals across the age span, and can assist with disability determination, pre-surgical psychological assessments, guardianship, and IEP disputes.

Seeking and finding the right therapist for your needs can be a difficult process. I work with clients experiencing OCD, intrusive thoughts, and general anxiety and depressive symptoms. I use the ACT modality, focusing on acceptance of thoughts and feelings, and use a straightforward and candid approach to fostering a therapeutic relationship with my clients. In my free time I enjoy watching NBA basketball , traveling, and currently practicing fluency in Spanish.

“Life is hard…but does it have to be this hard?” No, it doesn’t. Many people are worried, stressed, unhappy, or not coping with life’s ups and downs. Psychotherapy is a way to help you live your life, cope well, learn from current or long-term challenges, and even thrive in the midst of them. I would like to help you understand your current circumstances and collaborate with you to get you to where you want to be.

Life gets overwhelming and heavy sometimes. Everyone deserves a kind and accepting space in order to process, plan, heal and flourish. It is my privilege to provide that space for my clients. I have experience working with people 15 years and older, including a diverse range of ages, cultures, sexual identities, and genders. I work with clients individually and as couples. I have a creative, individualized, and holistic approach to therapy, including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance-based therapy, and mindfulness-based treatment strategies.

Getting back up so that you are able to move forward despite resistance can be one of life’s biggest challenges. I will work to provide the support and guidance needed to carry on despite the struggles that life can bring. Building a trusting and safe environment to allow others to grow and become a better version of themselves though self-exploration and enhancing self-awareness is one of the goals of a healthy therapeutic relationship.
