Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

Welcome! My name is Anna and I'm a Limited License Master Social Worker in the state of Michigan. My role as a clinician is to serve as a guide for folks looking to navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. With an empowering and empathetic approach, I provide a safe space for exploration and growth.

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.

I focus on the treatment of trauma using a mind-body and mindfulness framework and work from the understanding that our life experiences are stored in the body. It’s important to pay attention not only to our thoughts and emotions, but also to the clues our body gives us. My goal is to help clients create their own sense of safety, enhance relationship to self, and to move towards a space of presence and increased well-being. I also offer consultation to clinicians hoping to deepen their understanding of parts work using a trauma-informed perspective.

I want people to know that they are stronger than they think they are and that they have the ability to change their lives for the better. Together we will develop a strengths-based treatment plan with measurable goals and objectives. This treatment plan will serve as a guide to move us forward. I am passionate about working with people of color, humans exploring their various identities, and those searching for meaning in their lives. In addition to working with clients, I enjoy mentoring early career therapists by providing clinical supervision for LLMSWs pursuing full licensure.

Life can be challenging and stressors such as anxious thoughts, trauma responses, and a negative environment can make it harder to manage. By not managing these stressors effectively, it can lead to various concerns such as challenges in relationships, strong negative emotions, and feeling disconnected. As a mental health clinician, I’ve worked with many individuals, children, and families struggling with negative patterns, varying levels of trauma, grief, and conflict. My passion is helping individuals to better understand their self and better manage stress and anxiety.

My goal is to bring to you, as my client, a safe place to explore what will give you the most support for growth you want. My office is also a place to learn and try out new coping skills.

An ideal relationship will give you client room to open yourself to thoughts and feelings and learn what you want and need and how to express that in healthy ways
