Teletherapy for Michigan

With my clients, I build a therapeutic alliance that allows me to understand each client’s environment, challenges, and goals. The foundation for therapy is a collaborative, supportive, professional relationship with my client. Intersectional and feminist approaches are integral to my work. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their identity and orientation.

Sydney graduated from Wayne State University with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a special focus in Art Therapy. Sydney is a fully licensed counselor. Sydney specializes in working with grief and loss issues, anxiety, alternative relationships, and she is an LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist. She works with children, adolescents, and adults and sees individuals, couples, and families. If you want to explore the power of art making in therapy or want to focus on talk therapy, Sydney is an attentive listener who also has some creative solutions.

With a curious, collaborative, warm, and direct perspective, I help LGBTQIA+ adults working through trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and identity exploration. Everyone has a unique story, perspective, and experience. Sometimes it helps to have someone walk with us to explore our identity, work through life challenges or traumas, and to find fulfillment. What do you want to do in your life? Where do you want to go? How do you want to be true to yourself? I have some maps to suggest, but you have the power to choose the one best for you.

I believe that everyone should feel equally welcome in therapy, so no matter what you bring, I will meet you without judgment, and we will find solutions together. I believe that people heal through being fully heard and understood, and solving problems collaboratively. I work with a wide variety of issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues (both monogamous and non-monogamous), ADHD, substance addiction, sexual identity and gender identity concerns, and others. I take an anti-racist, intersectional feminist, LGBTQIA-affirming, body-positive, kink-aware approach to therapy.

Seeking therapy is an invaluable investment in oneself, and I believe it is my job as a therapist to empower clients to find and live their own paths and truths. The path to healing begins with a trusting and accepting therapist-client relationship; I provide a space that recognizes and centers the unique strengths, values, and lived experiences of each individual, and I seek to partner with clients to best meet their needs. Respecting client self-determination is fundamental to my practice, which is grounded in cultural humility and recognizing the ways in which our values and identities form the many facets of who we are.

WELCOME! I'm grateful you found your way here. I'm Suzanne and I'd like you to know that when we begin a therapeutic relationship, it is collaborative. Utilizing feminist theory, humanistic, and psychodynamic psychology we can discover where your struggles originate. My practice focuses on the woman's experience in our culture. By nurturing connections that can encourage recovery from chronic PTSD, trauma, sexual assault, generalized anxiety, depression, grief, loss general burnout, caretaking burnout, and hopelessness, you find your inner voice and learn to roar! Contact me now, I'm accepting NEW clients right now, Let's GO!

I believe that with support and the right therapeutic relationship you can make the changes you want in your life. I am a Certified Sex Therapist and I attended the Sexual Health Certificate Program at the University of Michigan. I work with folks who want to fully experience sexual pleasure, but aren't sure how. This may be related to sexual pain, sexual trauma, or an upbringing lacking education about sexual health. My approach honors and addresses situations in the past, but also gives you ideas about how to feel better in the here and now.

I have been helping people through psychotherapy for over twenty-five years. Whether you need short-term help clarifying a life issue or crisis, or long-term help for complicated difficulties, I hope you will contact me for consultation. I have special interests and experience in women's issues and survivors of trauma, individuals struggling with sexual issues (including alternate sexualities and relationship structures).

Making the decision to change your life can be scary. I'm dedicated to helping others work through difficult choices and helping them move their lives in a positive direction. I want to help you discover patterns and behaviors that have been holding you back, and build skills to make your life better in the future. I use an intersectional trans-inclusive feminist lens and use an eclectic combination of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Behavioral Therapy to help solve problems. Making the decision to seek treatment is the first step. I would love to help you make your life one worth living!

My approach is a collaborative process of support and respect. I use evidence based practices to inform strengths & person centered, feminist oriented ideals. I am guided by a sense of cultural and personal sensitivity to the diverse backgrounds and life experiences each person carries with them. My goal is to help you find and develop the tools to most effectively reach your goals.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, specializing in helping people overcome anxiety, manage stress, and improve challenging relationship dynamics. 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. I’m passionate about finding paths through learned beliefs and perspectives that are no longer serving you. Be it the perfectionism of academics, or the endless guilt of motherhood, there is a way out!

In my clinical practice, I seek to provide a safe and brave space for wellness inclusive of individual culture, spirituality and identity. I specialize in work with those impacted by complex trauma, depression, suicide, anxiety, sexual assault, sexual abuse, life-transitions, caregiver fatigue, education/work/life balance, substance use, and interpersonal relationship challenges. I offer a unique understanding and appreciation for those lives inclusive of work as a musician, performer, writer, and/or visual artist.

I invite my clients to come as they are in the truest sense. Each week you will begin to experience the freedom to discover and connect with who you really are. You will find and speak in your authentic voice. Here you will be truly heard and validated. You will begin to trust yourself, explore deep and genuine embodiment, and live from your Inner Knowing. Leave all the “shoulds” behind. No need to perform or to pretend to be anyone who you are not. The heart of our work is self-compassion and self-discovery. Together we will create a safe space - a soft landing each week where you can begin to relax and unpack your story.

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.

I love helping people heal and live more fulfilling lives. I will work to help you find the self-compassion, acceptance, confidence, and concrete skills you need to address past traumas and make the changes you want in your life. I work from a humanistic, feminist, and trauma-informed framework and utilize DBT, CBT, MSC, somatic, and other approaches to best help my clients. I have over 20 years of experience treating clients (many are U of M students) who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, self-esteem, adjustment, relationship issues, and other concerns. I combine talk therapy with practical exercises

As a therapist, my primary goal is to help my clients have more choice and spontaneity in their lives, as well as greater satisfaction. I want to help alleviate suffering, whether generated from past traumatizing experiences or from current experiences. I believe that we all have many answers and great potential inside us but are often blocked from accessing our own wisdom, meaning we only function on a modest amount of this potential. It gives me great joy to help my clients find their answers and discover problem-solving abilities through the therapeutic process.

When life goes differently than anticipated you may be left grieving, feeling disconnected from life, or from yourself. You deserve to have a compassionate space to process and honor your experiences. Together, we'll explore the stories of your life, understanding how past experiences continue to shape your present reality. Our work will include building resiliency, using your voice to live more authentically, and establish boundaries to create more peace in your life. With a relationship built on trust and compassion, you're invited to explore your deepest truths and strengthen your relationship with yourself.

I work with couples, families, & individuals. My work is rooted in relationships & clients come to me feeling disconnected & stuck in unsustainable patterns without knowing how break free from the cycle. Often, clients have inherited these patterns from dysfunctional families or developed them to survive difficult times. The cycles are harder to change when facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, betrayal, grief, rejection, or the burden of cultural, religious, & family of origin expectations. Eventually, clients want to find a way to liberate themselves from this pattern but don't know what that looks like or where to begin.
