Compassion Focused Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

The challenges we experience everyday can be overwhelming. I believe that therapy can be a safe environment to help foster growth, healing, and support. I strive to provide that safe therapeutic space where we can work collaboratively to allow you to freely explore, question, and process to help you achieve the quality of life that you desire and deserve. My research has been in parenting. I enjoy working with parents, helping them understand their current parenting styles, and working together to constructively modify their skills to help them build a stronger, positive relationship with their children.

Clients who are ready to explore their deeper selves and go beyond cognitive talk therapy are ideal for my style of therapy! Those who feel stuck, squeezed, torn, or burdened and wanting to free themselves from a limited experience to live as their authentic selves are clients who might enjoy my compassion focused and creative expression therapy approach. I use non-traditional methods such as body movement, art making, sound, mindfulness practices to help clients process difficult emotions, face challenges, and make difficult choices.

The idea of seeking therapy can be a scary process. That’s why as a therapist I always meet my clients where they are in their therapeutic process. I take on a team approach to let my client know that they aren’t alone. Together we can accomplish many obstacles.

Throughout my career, my primary focus has been working with clients with either severe traumatic experiences and/or extensive trauma histories.I love working and supporting people through life transitions and exploration of identity. I have worked with many clients who hold identities within the LGBTQIA2+ community. I can relate to many of the challenges experienced by members of marginalized, oppressed, and minority communities. A portion of my professional career has included working with primarily BIPOC clients in Detroit, veterans, people living in different-sized bodies, and those who have concerns around foster care/adoption.

I am passionate about guiding couples through the intricate landscape of their relationships with a focus on authenticity, communication and reconnecting to your lost parts. As a relationship therapist, I am committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment where every individual feels respected and understood. My therapeutic approach integrates a number of evidence-based modalities with an emphasis on Imago Relationship Therapy.

My name is Lynne. I am an independently contracted clinical therapist for IEG operating under Flutter & Flourish Therapy Services serving states: MI, TN, AL & GA. As a therapist, I believe that when you decide to engage in therapy, you are choosing to allow yourself to reflect on how you want to take control of your life & deciding how you need/want to show up for yourself. I am here to assure you per the societal feedback, nothing is "wrong" with you. We all have things different about us and that's what makes our voices and lived experiences ours, which also means our healing and progression will look different person to person.

I am currently accepting new clients. I am passionate about working with adults who have experienced trauma. I provide an open, nonjudgmental space to help you work towards healing. I have experience working with family of origin concerns, parent/child conflict, anxiety, depression, identity development, and women’s issues.

*NO OPENINGS* Hello! I’m Fitz. I believe my role as a therapist is to help empower clients explore affirming opportunities for growth and define their own path to wellness. I acknowledge the inherent power dynamic in the therapeutic relationship and the harm this has/can cause. I orient myself in multicultural feminist and humanistic perspectives, engage in collaborative treatment planning, and acknowledge how multiple oppressions/identities impact folks’ experiences to help de-pathologize symptoms and re-center power in client’s hands. I am white, non-binary, queer, able-bodied and am committed to life-long anti-racism work.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (09/19/23) TELETHERAPY ONLY AT THIS TIME Life can be challenging, and unexpected changes are a part of the journey. It's okay not to be okay. You don't have to face these challenges alone. I believe in the power of human connection and the strength it takes to seek help and embark on a journey of personal growth. I work with individuals of all ages and identities who are dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and life changes.

It makes sense that you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and burned out. It makes sense that you’re angry! You’ve been working SO HARD to survive in a world that says there’s only one right way to be! My approach to therapy is rooted in a simple idea: that you are not broken; the systems we live under are. As a gay, neurodivergent therapist, I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, including those who identify as queer, trans, nonbinary, and/or neurodivergent. Together, we navigate the complexities of a culture that too often marginalizes these identities, favoring neurotypicality, heteronormativity, whiteness, and conformity.

Sometimes we all need somebody to genuinely meet us where we are at in life with radical acceptance and compassion for who we are and where we want to go from here. But searching for the right person to connect with can be a daunting prospect, especially if you or your loved ones have been met with societal rejection and systematic oppression. As such, my primary goal in therapy is to cultivate an inclusive, warming environment where you can safely and freely express your authentic self, which is why you deserve to know a little about me as well.

These are difficult and troubling times for many of us. There is a lot of uncertainty about the future, and a fair number of people feel isolated, and afraid. I have over 20 years' experience as a psychotherapist as well as training in theatre, especially improvisation. I can offer you skills to get past fear, challenge your thinking, and connect with all of your possibilities. I use a combination of evidence-based techniques, including improvisation and creative arts, to help you get past your "comfort zone."

I help highly-sensitive women heal trauma, navigate inner conflict, and find a deeper sense of connection with themselves and others in order to live more fulfilling lives. Using a somatically integrative approach to therapy, I guide clients towards self-compassion and out of shame cycles and old disempowering narratives. In sessions, I invite clients into experimental practices where we draw our attention to your embodied experience and explore your thoughts, images, movements, emotions and sensations as they arise. Always core to my work is: empathy, consent, attunement, presence, and curiosity.
