Narrative Therapists in 48103

I am passionate about navigating identity and self-worth through challenging life transitions. Generally, I work from a trauma-informed, psychodynamic theoretical perspective. I also incorporate elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy into my treatment approaches. I adjust my approaches based on your individual needs and preferences. I believe that it is important to address the symptoms that cause you distress, but that it is not beneficial to you to focus only on symptom management.

I approach therapy with a high importance placed upon building and maintaining a strong therapeutic alliance, and utilizing a collaborative approach to tailor treatment to the needs of the clients I work with. I work with a variety of therapeutic issues, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, adjustment to life transitions, relationship challenges, and substance abuse. My integrative treatment approach draws upon psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and narrative models.

How many times have you looked at this website? (Yea, me too. I wondered if this would be the best way to connect with clients). And now you are trying to find a good therapist–someone who will relate to you. Let me start off by stating how important I think mental health is to the well-being of an individual. I believe that it colors everything that one does. While life isn’t always perfect, one can look at life- process, develop options and just try it out. It really isn’t clear cut like that and processing takes time. Maybe that is why I am in this field–to help people to look at their lives and to make their lives better.

I see therapy as a gateway to strengthening our authentic self through healing, learning, acceptance and growth. It is often through our self-proclaimed imperfections that we find the greatest gifts, insights and points of focus that help us understand and become clear about the path we are walking and the possibilities that are before us. We have all known suffering, loss, trauma and despair. These experiences may shape us but they do not have to define us.

I specialize in life transitions and helping people achieve goals in their personal and professional life. I especially enjoy supporting clients when they face major decisions and changes in their life or identity. Whether at a crossroads in a relationship(s) or career path I can help you define who you want to be and support your connection to your authentic self. I also specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, both in personal and professional relationships. Whether your fear is impacting your ability to form friendships or achieve goals in your career, I can help clients develop skills to connect to their strengths.

Our literal and figurative diasporas disrupt the connection we have to our existential, somatic, relationship, and environmental health. I specialize in supporting the diasporic health of disabled, queer and/or trans, racialized lived experience of all income classes whose experiences are sometimes called Au/DHD, BPD, and/or (C-)PTSD. In our sessions, we'll co-develop practices and rituals you need to thrive with and within your community. Using person-centered and strength-based evidence-based practices, we can map, structure, process, and equip you to navigate life’s terrains.

If your goals include relief from depression, anxiety, symptoms of mental illness, improving relationships, getting along better in the world, and improved quality of life, I want to work with you to achieve those goals. I enjoy working with adults with mental and emotional stressors, who are striving to stay happy, independent and self-sufficient. In addition, I work with adults with multiple diagnoses, who are struggling with substance use issues, and other harmful behaviors, to cope with underlying feelings from mood disorders, mental illness, and traumatic life experiences. Together we can find healthier ways to manage.

I believe that human connection is the most powerful agent of change, and it is my goal to create a safe space that encourages growth and empowerment.

Be it the perfectionism of academics, or the endless guilt of motherhood, there is a way out!

Hi! I am a fully licensed professional counselor. I am also a woman, a mother, a partner and a person of color. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field working with adolescents and adults. I am sensitive to, and work with millennials & Gen Z. As a millennial myself, I understand issues specific to what adolescents and young adults are going through. I also love to help people gain an understanding of their mental health issues ; as psychoeducation and proper tools are very important in the therapeutic process. I am very passionate about my work and the relationships I have with my clients. It is a privilege.

I specialize in treating trauma, grief&loss, and anxiety. Unresolved trauma can create invisible emotional wounds. The deep emotional scarring of these wounds can negatively impact both personal and professional lives. Early trauma is often at the root of mental illness, including depression and anxiety. I specialize in providing trauma focused therapy solutions. In my office, you will find a safe space where you can express yourself and move toward your desired goals in a healthy and healing way. Our relationship will be built on the four pillars of healing: trust, safety, support and hope.

Hello and Welcome! I am here to listen, support, advocate, and guide you to your individual wellness goals. I believe in a client-centered approach as I recognize that there is no single path to wellness. We will collaborate to discover the route that is best for you, your child, or your family. I believe each of us can live full and authentic lives with a bit of support and guidance.

During an interview for the clinic I have been working at for 10 years I was asked "what kind of clients do you enjoy working with the most?" I know they were asking about specific diagnoses or other demographics but my answer was "I really like working with people who show up." I didn't just mean people who come to sessions, I meant people who are willing to be an active participant in their therapy. There are so many factors that contribute to your current situation. I want to explore as many of those factors as possible with you to help you understand yourself better so you can make better choices of how to proceed in your life.

Are you ready to move forward in your life, free from circumstances and emotions that have held you back?

Risk and change are scary ideas, but together we can examine what is holding you back and develop a plan that will lead to positive, lasting life changes. So often people live a compromised life that leaves them feeling unfulfilled and unhappy. At RWCC our passion is to help you overcome barriers and make changes towards a more satisfying life for you and your family.

As a therapist, I approach all of my work from a social justice framework. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those struggling with chronic illness or dynamic disabilities. I work with clients to set realistic, attainable goals for treatment. I aim for transparency in everything that I do. I particularly enjoy supporting women, members of the LGBTQ community and clients from other marginalized groups. I am culturally Deaf and fluent in ASL, and as such, I serve many Deaf clients. However, spoken English is my native language, so many of my clients are also hearing.

Have you been feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or stressed? Have you been struggling in your relationships or have you had one or more traumatic experiences? Whatever you're going through, I can work with you to help you achieve a more hopeful, fulfilling future. I know that reaching out for therapy can be difficult. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment in which clients feel free to be themselves. I believe that growth and healing begins when people feel seen, accepted, and understood, and so I take the time to get to know you and understand the needs and issues for which you're seeking counseling.

I have a passion for individuals, couples and families who are experiencing the darkness of grief, the heartache of broken relationships, the discomfort and uncertainty that promotes overwhelming fear and anxiety; the trials of family life and the stress of difficult careers. I integrate my deep faith and trust in God's provision to help guide my work with my clients or for those whom I am supervising. My greatest desire is for you, my client, to know your great value and worth as you grow deeper in the own knowledge and wisdom of your calling and purpose in life.

My treatment approach is validating and understanding while at the same time sincere and direct. I use an integrative approach to help my clients to find balance in their personal, academic, and professional lives. I work collaboratively with clients to help them to explore their next steps toward reaching their goals and finding peace in their day-to-day lives. I am experienced in working with individuals with struggles related to binge eating, low self-image, anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions.

What are your short-term and long-term goals? I hope to facilitate your growth by assisting you in identifying and making progress toward reaching those goals. I am enthusiastic about working with adolescents and adults addressing general mental health concerns as well as relationship issues, significant loss, and substance use issues. In addition to a certificate in chemical dependency, I have experience working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, traumas of various experiences, and death, loss and grief.

The purpose of spiritual counseling is to support you in living from your deepest, most authentic self. As we continually develop, it can be difficult to remain authentic, difficult to balance our own highest values with cultural, vocational, and familial challenges. Especially in times of transition, it takes support, reflection and encouragement to remain true to who we are. While I bring my experience as an ordained Zen Buddhist to my spiritual counseling practice, ultimately my goal is to meet clients where they are, using the particularities of their strengths to help them settle more deeply into their true selves.
