Therapists in Michigan

Currently accepting new clients! The first step to healing is the step you are taking now. Deciding to enter therapy can be intimidating. I meet people where they are as they take this important step. I know how difficult it can be to juggle all that life expects of us while experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, or emotional distress. Whether it’s unwanted thoughts, healing from a past trauma, or feeling stuck in your relationships, you are not alone. I provide a warm and safe space, free of judgment, to explore your past in order to make sense of the present and work toward a more fulfilling future. You can feel better!

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Michigan and I graduated with my Master’s Degree from Wayne State University in Social Work and a Bachelors in Psychology from Oakland University. I have always wanted to help people since I was in high school and I have never wavered from that goal. My compassion and empathy have made me who I am today. I utilize a person-centered approach and I meet the client where they are at. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, cancer, grief and loss, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance abuse.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Brene Brown once said, “Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness”. Our experiences in life can sometimes leave us feeling sad, angry, confused, lost, and everything in between. Whether you’re struggling with experiences of trauma, depression, anxiety, loss, any relational conflicts, or school difficulties, I’m here to walk alongside you on a path towards vulnerability and compassion for all parts of you. Instead of being who you’ve had to be (because trauma), this journey can bring you to who you’re meant to be.

Do you find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship distress, or unable to make the changes in your life that you want? Psychotherapy can be a safe and compassionate place where you could get help in working through your distress. Making the decision to begin therapy is both difficult and courageous. I offer individual and couples psychotherapy for anyone seeking insight, change, and relief in their lives. I strive to promote healing, offering a safe and nurturing environment that fosters self-compassion, collaboration, self-understanding, and an appreciation of the diverse and resilient individuals that we are.

If you've been struggling with life and circumstances, you are not alone. I applaud you for seeking out help with your challenges because it means that you are brave (stepping outside of your comfort zone) and that you have made the decision to do something about your mental health (also brave). I work with many survivors of various trauma and I am trained in EMDR. If you need a good listener, somebody who is in your life to support you, somebody who is not afraid to encourage you to take control of your circumstances and mindset, and someone who can provide insight and education about mental health, I would love to meet with you!

My blog is my calling card. Healing, positive change, and personal growth from the inside out is not for cowards. Read my blog to understand where I am coming from. Even if you believe you already know "everything" there is to understand about your specific circumstances, guess what? There is always another way to look at what you are struggling through. My job is to come up along side you and assist you in recognizing what you need to learn (and then do!)---as well as what you need to let go of (once and for all!). You will learn how to set yourself free from those chains that bind you. Live in peace, not in pieces anymore.

You are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the past, & uncertain about the future. Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event, or you find yourself in cycles, no matter how hard you try to break them. You feel flooded with emotion, triggered by your surroundings, & exhausted from fighting through each day. As much as you try to push away upsetting thoughts & memories, they continue to creep back into your awareness. It seems like worry is following you like a shadow, spilling over into your relationships, your professional life, & even your overall health. This leaves you feeling alone as you put on a happy face for the world around you.

Welcome. Let's start from the core belief in your resilience and potential for growth. You are the expert on yourself. We will take today's challenges as an opportunity to seek an understanding of yourself and your relationships. I am a therapist who specializes in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, women's empowerment, spiritual clarification, and family issues.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with close to 30 years of post-masters experience in psychotherapy. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families. Depression, anxiety, domestic violence, ADHD, and PTSD are my primary specialties. I also have significant experience in high conflict custody issues and post-divorce conflict. I am available via face-to-face sessions in downtown Chelsea Michigan, or via teletherapy. I take Blue Cross, Blue care Network, and Aetna.

I work primarily with women who struggle with anxiety/panic, trauma, burnout, grief/loss and relationship stressors. I specialize in working with college students and people in helping professions such as healthcare, social work/counseling, or teaching. Many of my clients would also describe themselves as stressed out, overextended, and have often been called "too sensitive" by people in their lives. In a time when 'busy-ness' and productivity have become the norm, I offer a safe space to slow down, breathe, and be heard. Please visit my website for more information: www.KatherineListerLMSW.com

I provide an eclectic approach, primarily utilizing behavioral, humanistic, psycho-spiritual, and inner child modalities – with a specialization in complex trauma, shadow work, generational patterns, and the journey to authenticity. My practice is person-centered, meaning that I’m a guide in your exploration of self – I may be nudging and pointing things out, but you, as the client, are ultimately leading where we go. My goal is to enrich and point out the positive traits that you already possess, and offer acknowledgment into aspects of yourself or your circumstances that you maybe haven’t seen yet.

Everyone deserves to have a good day and a better tomorrow. I realize that taking on a personal change out of desire or necessity is often harder than it sounds. I work with all ages, life-stages, and conditions. People arrive with their bag of “stuff”: hopes, disappointments, wounds, trauma, diagnoses, and connections. I start where you are and work with you to create a path to a place of well-being.

I have enjoyed engaging people in the therapeutic process for the past 15 years. My clinical experience has been practicing within the non-profit sector and private practice. I am passionate about engaging with people and working through their identified concerns. I welcome working with people who are experiencing personal or interpersonal issues. I can meet you where you are and together we can make a treatment plan to helps you meet your goals. I am passionate about helping people overcome past trauma. As well as developing healthy strategies to get through particular life phases.

I want to assist others find their self and sense of direction for their life, regardless of the circumstances or situations they are currently enduring. There is hope and life even in the dark times.

I have a deep passion for community development, culture diversity and human connection. In my experience my clients know themselves better than anyone, they are their own best resource when it comes to choosing the right treatment for them. I see our time together as a joint venture, our knowledge combined creates the solutions and tools needed to uncover patterns and emotions they may not even be aware of. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual. My role as a therapist is to support you to make choices that empower you, and help you explore and resolve your current predicaments, or diagnosis.

After over 20 years of practice with adolescents, adults, and families I've learned that everyone has more strengths than they realize. These strengths are critical to your personal growth, recovery, and making whatever positive changes you want to in your life. Most people can use a little help in finding ways to make those changes happen. Whatever you're facing, whether it's anxiety, depression, or struggles with recent life changes, I will help you draw on your own unique strengths and develop the skills and perspectives you need to start living the life you want.

Welcome. I am so happy you are here. As humans we are extremely resilient and adaptive to our surroundings. At times, this can be a gift and it can also lead us on a path that is no longer serving us. Therapy has the potential to change the quality of our lives, as well as for those around us, for generations to come. I specialize in guiding people back to themselves, while setting the conditions for healing to take place. Given the right conditions our bodies and minds can heal. You already carry everything you need from within. My approach is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and client empowerment.

Starting or returning to counseling often means that you are facing a challenge that does not have a simple solution. Sharing what is on your mind may be a relief, but for many people, it is also anxiety provoking. Whether your concerns are present-focused or have roots in the past, we can create a space where you can process and grow through the obstacles you are facing. Areas in which I have special knowledge include trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. I currently offer talk therapy, EMDR, and EMDR intensives. During sessions, you can expect me to express empathetic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness.

I love working with individuals of all ages and struggles. I have been in the counseling field for over 25 years and enjoy the partnership of working together to find a solution. Throughout the years I have spent much time researching and attending trainings to learn how to best handle stress. Stress and trauma have a significant impact on our bodies and many traditional strategies may not work; if they don't, I use health, spirituality, and energy medicine to impact change. I focus on health and positive psychology. We work on new techniques right in the office. - Also providing clinical supervision for LLPCs.
