Racial Identity Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

Hello! I'm so happy that you're here! I focus my work with children, adults, and families with subjects such as grief, anxiety, racial, gender and sexuality issues. I have significant experience with those who are neurodivergent with the unique issues that may face them. I have NO waiting list and plenty of openings for you. I can also do a 15-minute free meeting to see if we are a match.

Currently, due to a full waitlist, I am accepting clients by professional referral only. I provide individual and group psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. I utilize evidence-based therapy such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive-based mindfulness therapy, Modified DBT Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.

I work with clients seeking support for ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Chronic Illness/Pain, Depression, Disability, Grief/Loss, LGBTQ+, PTSD, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem, and Trauma. I am passionate about working with immigrants, BIPOC individuals, LGBTQIA2S+ community and people of all bodies and abilities. I work from a strength-based, culturally-sensitive and holistic perspective that values your unique experiences and supports you towards achieving your therapy and life goals.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with an endorsement from the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health as an Infant Family Specialist.

Dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care, my professional journey revolves around serving culturally diverse families, exploring racial and ethnic identity complexities, and supporting neurodivergent children and youth. I see clients with a wide range of challenges, ranging from anxiety, depression, and trauma, to executive functioning to parenting. I am currently accepting clients from early childhood to young adulthood both in person and virtually.

We at RE-elevation Counseling consider it an honor to be allowed to be present as people discover new levels of mental and emotional health and wellness. We firmly believe that, barring a few exceptions, people already have in them what they need. At the moment they are seeking help, something is creating a barrier to having the best life possible. We see our role as those who hold a space for them to safely work through their distress, while giving support and challenging thoughts and behaviors that undermine their success. We look forward to seeing if working together is a good fit. Call for a free, 20-minute initial consultation.

Talk therapy serves a valuable purpose by aiding your brain in processing challenging emotions during specific moments in your life and enabling introspection regarding associated thoughts. However, what if you find yourself trapped in the depressive, anxious, angry, or shameful mental state for so long that you have nothing new to explore? What if, despite recounting your traumatic experiences numerous times, your low energy, sadness, avoidance, anger, or impulsivity still persists? And what if the somatic reactions triggered by certain events are so intense and rapid that you are unable to employ sound judgment?

Holistic wellness is about finding a seat in a world increasingly marked by systemic barriers. Very often, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals aren't given seats at tables, or even welcomed into rooms that would make life more accessible. I see therapy as a folding chair—a portable, adaptable, and transformative support system that we unfold into our lives to create our own spaces to thrive. My ideal client is open, ready, and willing to work on themselves, name their inner demons, and resist the systemic barriers that have tried to dictate their paths.

Making the decision to come to therapy is often one of the hardest decisions for a person to make. You might know that you're having a hard time but perhaps you don't know what to expect from therapy. What will your therapist be like? Can you really trust them? Why would you tell a complete stranger everything about you? These are just a few questions that potential clients sometimes ask themselves before coming in. Although it can be an intimidating experience, it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences.

Do you find it difficult to form authentic connections with others? Do you experience persistent racing thoughts? Do you grapple with frequent indecisiveness? Do you confront ongoing fear? Do you struggle with effective communication? Do you feel a sense of hopelessness and emotional numbness, and encounter challenges when making commitments?

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.
