Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

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.

I specialize in Adoption Triads, Grief, Trauma, Life Transitions (Role/Identity/Caregiving), Self-Esteem, and Family/Social Relationships. I work with several Middle School, High School, and College students to manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and the transition to adulthood independence. In addition, I work with adults who want to unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors.

As a parent, you work hard to support your teen's well-being amidst today's complex challenges. Teens often face difficulties with social media, peer pressure, academics, and other stressors. If you're feeling overwhelmed about how to help, know that seeking therapy is a proactive step toward providing your teen with the tools they need to thrive. Working together, we can support your teen in their journey toward adulthood.

I deeply respect a person who makes that call to request professional help, and walks through my door for the first time. It takes courage, and our culture does not often make it easy to access to mental health services. We are emotional, relational, resilient creatures, and sometimes we need another skilled person to help us move forward in life. My experience in outpatient and inpatient mental health settings, as well as medical/rehabilitation settings, has equipped me with solid skills to treat most mental health and relational problems. My website is wolfpsychservices.com.

Welcome! I specialize in trauma recovery and navigating relationship challenges across all aspects of our lives. I place strong emphasis on acquiring skills to manage anxiety and depression, chronic illness, substance use recovery, grief and/or loss, and on making critical transitions that ensure safety, growth and holistic wellbeing. I have extensive experience engaging with teens and young people and am a skilled restorative dialogue facilitator, helping individuals and families hold space for conversations around challenging topics.

You need not carry your worries, pain, or sadness alone. I am here to help you tolerate and accept your unwanted thoughts and feelings at the same time that you move toward the life you've always wanted to live. In a supportive, nonjudgmental environment, we will work together to make improvements, however small, in mood, thinking, relating, and coping. I believe there is a place for humor and play in therapy, even amidst the painful thoughts and feelings bound to arise.

Limited space! For over 20 years I have enjoyed helping people with a vast array of emotional issues I use my understanding of past and current life situations, as well as what I see happening within the therapeutic relationship, to help my patients achieve their goal. I enjoy working with young adults, teen and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, and trauma. I also work with men and women going through the divorce and custody process. I have dealt extensively with parental alienation. I help fix families. I’m the mom of 4 amazing adult children, an avid reader, a crime show addict and mom to my fur baby, Huey.

Utilizing a multicultural lens, I work empathically and collaboratively to explore what unique identities and stories are interwoven in each person. I incorporate mindfulness and holistic principles into therapy with an approach that is integrative, psychodynamic, and compassionate. Over time, with trust in the therapeutic alliance and process, we will work to understand how your past shows up today and develop deeper awareness, healing, and resiliency to support you in the here-and-now, and on your life path.

My name is Adowa, and I am a licensed psychotherapist based in Michigan. I obtained my master's degree from The Michigan School of Psychology in 2018, and since then, I've been working in Clinical Psychology, publishing books, and pursuing entrepreneurial ventures. As a mother and caregiver, I strive to be empathetic, compassionate, understanding, and dedicated to my clients' needs.

I own a candle store that I share with a tattoo artist. We have candles, tattoos, and counseling all in one location. I believe in making mental health services more accessible and welcoming. I try to meet my clients where they are and discover where they want to be. Aromatherapy, music, visualization, and an emphasis on recovering all that is lost when traumatized are at the center of my approach. We work together to remember the things loved most before trauma.

We all have a story to tell, we decide where that story is going, and we create our stories in the here and now. I strive to meet clients as they are and where they are when they come to therapy. I aim to create a welcoming, authentic, and safe space to explore feelings, develop stronger coping skills, and gain insight. By taking an active role in the therapeutic process, I am confident in the client’s ability to self-actualize, create the changes they wish to see, and meet their goals. Life can be challenging, but with the right guidance those challenges can become your strongest tools in navigating and transforming your life.

You hold yourself to a higher standard yet, lately seem to have lost focus and struggle to maintain your motivation. You find yourself starting to believe the small voice in the back of your head stating that you are not good enough. You go to lengths to take great care of others, however, do not extend the same love and care to yourself. You put on a happy face and pretend that all is well, however, often can feel very much alone and anxious. You may feel consumed by: sadness, fear, anger or hopelessness; and even the simplest of tasks seems overwhelming. You long to get back to your old self and find joy and meaning in life.

I love working with young adults and seniors to help them find their passion in life. I will work to help you remove blocks that are keeping you from being your most awesome self and help you develop the skills needed to live a life you have always dreamed. I’ve worked with teenagers to overcome addictions; I’ve worked with young adults transitioning to adulthood to overcome anxiety and depress which allowed them to go off to college and become successful. I have helped couple’s save their marriages and improve child/parent relationships; I have worked with Seniors who are now in a caring role.
