Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Southfield, MI

Are you ready to break free from the shackles of past traumas and step into the radiant authenticity of your being? Welcome to a transformative journey guided by compassion, intuition, and boundless empowerment! As a holistic therapist, intuitive coach, and integrative energy healer, I am here to be your beacon of light through the labyrinth of self-discovery. Gain coping skills, regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and open to a world where you are free from the memories of the past.

I have a lifelong interest in collaborating with people who want to grow toward healthier relationships, optimum expression of life purpose, and balancing aspects of Self. Together, we build a space for curiosity about self, beginning where you are, and proceeding at your pace. I see a wide range of people including trauma survivors, artists, and LGBTQ+ folx. I have a general practice, and I specialize in trauma and dissociation. I love helping people through life transition. I don't treat substance abuse. I believe daily pot use stifles growth/change capacity, so I have found that therapy is not very useful until you have quit.

My ideal client would be someone who is invested in the process of exploring their greater capabilities and open to change and personal growth. I enjoy working with individuals who are curious about the world and their role in it, and who are eager to explore the depths of their inner selves. I am very comfortable treating a variety of mood disorders, including Major Depressive Disorders, Phobias, Generalized and Social Anxiety Disorders, and Trauma. In addition, I love to assist individuals to reach their highest levels of functioning through Life Coaching.

Hello! Are you seeking healing, guidance, and self-improvement? As a Christian counselor, I have a passion for working with individuals and creating positive change through psychotherapy and faith-based values. I am empathic, intuitive, non-judgmental, and client-focused. I have experience working with adults and treating a wide array of presenting concerns with a focus on past trauma, anxiety/depression, and self-esteem. I love practicing through a strengths-based approach where I ensure that my clients ultimately flourish, heal, and feel better about themselves.

I believe big changes happen as a result of taking small, needed steps. Creating space allows for someone to become "unstuck" from old beliefs, patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking which are harmful and no longer useful. I use a primarily solution-focused approach and a systemic lens while working with my clients. Life is constantly moving and changing and it is important, on a journey towards growth and healing, that a person/couple/family feel supported and equipped to handle life's challenges. Whatever problems, symptoms, or issues are presented, I work to move my clients forward in a positive and meaningful direction.

In order for one to heal one must release what they’re suppressing. Together we will work on effective positive coping skills to address the root cause to any difficulties you may struggle with, to get back to “a healed and healthy version of you”. My goal as your therapist is to provide guidance that will help you navigate through the challenges that life brings. We will work together to achieve your mental health balance and wellness goals. I aim to break barriers and obstacles that are associated with the mental health stigma.

I am passionate about working collaboratively with a diverse population of individuals through a social justice, anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist lens. I have experience with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, grief, sexual and gender identity, child behavioral issues, social anxiety, and couples issues. As a bi-lingual (English & Arabic) woman of Middle Eastern background, I understand the challenge multiple layers of identity has on mental health. Using a culturally sensitive approach, I enjoy working with underrepresented minorities, especially those who identify with the LGBTQ+ community.

Is your child acting out or have your or your child experienced a traumatic event such as a serious accident, abuse, or a life altering event? I can help you and your child to address these issues. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, or difficulty adjusting to a life event? I can teach you skills to live more fully . Are you or a loved one dealing with an addiction or attachment to pornography? I can help you overcome and find freedom from this problem. I have been a licensed therapist for over 12 years and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

It is my highest priority to make sure each person feels welcomed and safe in an un-biased environment. My passion involves helping each individual reach their moment of empowerment through the therapeutic journey. If you have been struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, loss, navigating through major life changes, familial or interpersonal relationships etc., this is the perfect opportunity to gain back control of your life!

“Self-care is the constant practice of not letting more pain accumulate.” -Susan Raffo. I have a special interest in the wellness and wholeness of QTPOC, and helping each person uncover the underlying foundations of their discomforts. I believe in treating the intersections of the mind, body, and spirit. Listening, witnessing, empathizing, and being present are tenets of my therapeutic framework.

Do you feel alone? Are you isolating from others or not feeling like yourself, or in general feeling overwhelmed with everyday life stressors? Is it tough to deal with relationships, employment, career direction, stress, emotions, and/or self-esteem? Or do you just need someone to listen and assist you along the journey? My hope for my client is to feel they are in a safe, positive space with me. Throughout our journey I strive to maintain a non-judgmental, person centered therapeutic approach while utilizing EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness based therapy, and more. My goal is to support you along the way.

Things change in life and sometimes these transitions require support, care and insight that well-meaning friends and family cannot provide. Gaining an outside perspective, supportive validation and assistance with defining the issues that are most pertinent to you and your progression toward better life outcomes are crucial. Spending the time to address these issues is an important investment in yourself which can impact your relationships, your physical health and your future. Take the time to make that investment, you are worth it.

You wish people understood the hurt you carry every day. You are tired of pretending it didn’t happen; tired of being angry; tired of explaining; and tired of people expecting you to move on. You don’t have to hold the secret, or silence yourself any longer because others refuse to bear witness to your pain.

Life hardship comes in many forms: emotional distress, trauma, relationship problems, physical or psychological feelings of unsafety. If you’re looking for a therapist you most likely have recognized some of these areas that need attendance in your life. I’m here to contribute with a judgment-free space where you can be your true self and explore what your life will be without the hardships that you’re experiencing. Together we will create a plan for you to start living the life that you desire. I hope to accompany you through the process of healing and attending the needs that are causing your suffering.

It is never too late to become a better you! Have you lost hope, or living in survival mode, while trying to figure out your life purpose? Are you struggling to maintain a healthy quality of life? Maybe you are having a difficult time navigating life after trauma, loss, and/or abuse. Are you finding it difficult to unlock your peace, because you are drowning under the day-to-day challenges of life? Whatever the season you are in, Coming Up for Air Counseling Ministries is here. We will journey beside you with empathy and respect, as you unlock the answers to your life difficulties. It's time to come up for air! Just BREATHE!

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 am passionate about supporting individuals as they prepare to welcome a baby and/or navigate early parenthood. If you notice your own worries, wounds, or trauma bubbling up in this tender stage of parenting, I can help you sift through it. We'll safely yet critically explore your own upbringing and past experiences to better understand your challenges and overcome them. I believe that every parent deserves to feel confident and supported, and I am here to provide you with the guidance and care you need. Together, we can create a nurturing environment that fosters growth, healing, and a loving bond between you and your baby/child.

I have been serving children, adolescents, and adults for the four years as an Outpatient Therapist. I assisted clients aged 3-83 with behavioral and mental health issues such as ODD, PTSD, ADHD, ASD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Personality Disorders, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Grief and Loss, Life Transitions, etc. I am able to see clients via telehealth in the states of Michigan and North Carolina. I love what I do and I am here to support you in helping you become the best version of yourself.

I provide individual and group therapy for children and adolescents as well as adults and families specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavior modification. I also specialize in substance use, working with those impacted by their own drug and alcohol use as well as those impacted by the addiction of others. My ability to make connections and build trust is paramount to my success as a therapist and, more importantly, the forward movement of the children and families with whom I work.
