Relationship Issues Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully.

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

Making changes in our lives can be difficult. Addressing things that make us uncomfortable can be hard to share or talk about. Sometimes the hardest thing in life is making that first step.

Whether you have a history of therapeutic support, or are seeking therapy for the first time, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are, here and now.
