Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

My goal is to help clients figure out what caused life changes and provide access to supportive tools and methods. I'm very personable and utilize conversation as a way to connect with my clients.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to enhance learning about behavior, emotions, relationships, and oneself. My goal is to work through the difficulties you are experiencing now while we also build your resiliency to prevent or minimize future difficulties. I ask clients to devote time in between sessions to our work: to increase how accurately we understand your concerns and to take the therapeutic work into your everyday life. Treatment effectiveness relies heavily on the match between therapist and client. If it is not a positive match with me, I assist clients in finding your best match.

Hello! I'm Eva, and I am a licensed counselor in Michigan. I love working with people who seek out therapy to help themselves and improve their overall wellbeing. I operate from the perspective that we all have some agency or power over ourselves, and I like working with clients who are open to identifying and understanding their own agency. My areas of focus include the following: attachment, relationships, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, self-esteem, women's issues, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Most of us know that even the healthiest of us need at some point in our lives an outside perspective or guidance into our inner selves to resolve many issues that we have not been able to do on our own. Therapy can take many forms from "personal growth work " (i.e. becoming a better person or reaching personal goals not yet achieved) or in dealing with life crises, wrong choices in the past effecting today, life transitions or mood problems such as depression, grief, anxiety etc. am also helping people deal with covid and all of it's implications.

Hello! I'm so happy that you're here! I focus my work with children and adults on a variety of subjects including anxiety, self-esteem, depression, family issues etc. I use techniques including deep breathing, and other coping strategies. I take a wholistic and inclusive approach to help include all aspects of the whole person. I am a proud member and supporter of the LGBTQAI+ community and can assist anyone with issues related to gender, and sexuality. I can also assist with handling our current social climate. I have NO waiting list and plenty of openings for you. I can also do a 15 minute free meeting to see if we are a match.

We all need permission to be works in progress. To be stuck or to not-quite have it all figured out. This is where I believe that therapy comes in; it is a place to grow and to learn about ourselves and others. I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology with 17 years of clinical experience. I believe fervently in creating a safe space where social justice is integral, humor is shared, and all feel welcome. My clinical work is shaped by Intersectional Feminist & Cognitive Behavioral techniques. At each step, we'll take a strengths-based approach to uncovering the skills to help you cope with personal and systemic challenges.

With mindfulness- and compassion-based therapy, I support clients through grief & loss, relationship issues, healing from trauma, and searching for meaning & purpose. So many of the issues that bring people to therapy are natural responses to the challenges we face as human beings. Through the process of therapy, we bring curiosity and compassion to our inner experience; and in the safety of a non-judgmental space, we explore options for understanding and growth.

As a queer person, I aim to serve LGBTQIA2S+ clients as much as possible. I also work with those outside the queer community, especially those struggling with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, big emotions, and a history of trauma; I work with BPD but not through a certified DBT program. I aim to highlight each client's individual strengths and existing skills to build off of. My desire is to create a space where you feel you can be open, and your successes are celebrated. My ideal client is someone motivated for weekly therapy, putting in a focused effort to learn to utilize coping skills, self-reflection, and behavior changes.

I am passionate about helping children and adults to recognize, express, and manage their feelings and develop resilience, gain self-acceptance, and learn skills for self-regulation and self-expression so they can feel a full spectrum of their emotions without fear of being overwhelmed by them. I have extensive experience working with children and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and grief using trauma informed and strengths based approaches. In the clinical supervision services I provide, my goal is to empower you to become a skilled, self-aware, and ethically grounded counselor.

Ever feel like you don't matter? Feel lonely, disconnected and don't know where to turn? Well, you matter! Let's talk!! I have worked with adolescents and young adults for over 25 years. Often times people who identify outside the "norm" feel like they don't matter, they do! The world around you is so uncertain and at times and can be not safe. Maybe you have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, bullying, or you just feel marginalized. You need to feel safe to talk and work through your concerns. It's exhausting to carry that burden alone. I enjoy working with adolescents and teens, but also have a good rapport with adults.

My clinical approach is integrative, although my interventions often focus on acceptance and self-compassion while empowering my clients to make the changes they would like to see in their lives. I firmly believe that therapy should be focused on helping you become the best version of yourself, as YOU understand it. In keeping with that goal, I take great care to ensure that therapy is affirming of all aspects of diversity and identity.

My clients tend to be experiencing stress and want to find connections between past experiences, patterns of response, strong emotions and current life circumstances. Life transitions can feel overwhelming and loss can become a catalyst for change. This is often the beginning of an opportunity to gain greater understanding of our selves and the meaning we make in our lives.

Are you wanting to make a change in your life, but you're not sure where to start? Do you feel inadequate, disconnected from people, or overwhelmed by your emotions? Know that you are not alone. I can help you develop skills to better respond to your emotions, improve your relationship with yourself and others, figure out what really matters to you, and create a fulfilling life.

Is life leading you or your loved ones to feel stressed out, overwhelmed and unhappy? Are relationships, family life, school or work life unfulfilling? Are you experiencing anxiety, worry and sadness or having difficulty staying focused and motivated? Is chronic pain interfering with your quality of life? If you or your loved ones are experiencing difficulties that are interfering with true happiness, I can help! I have over 30 years of experience helping people sort through seemingly insurmountable problems and arrive at solutions in a compassionate, non-judgmental way! Life CAN be better than this!

If you experience a pattern of disappointment and hurt in your relationships, you might begin to wonder what you're doing wrong. You may feel anxious around others and read into what they do and say to determine how they feel about you. Conflict might bring up feelings of unworthiness and self-blame. Others seem to have such ease with relationships, and you don’t understand why it feels like such a struggle to find and keep connections that feel secure. As hard as you've tried, you've not been able to interrupt this pattern and you worry you’ll feel this way forever.

Welcome to Speakeasy Therapy. I know how much courage it takes to make this first step. But once you do, I'll be with you the rest of the way. I am a relational therapist. My goal for you is that you feel consistently supported through the highs and lows of your therapy journey. I'll bring the skill and support, you bring the material, and together we uncover and remove blocks to authenticity, loving & connected relationships, and a fulfilling life.

Welcome! I pride myself on building a therapeutic relationship that allows for transparency and vulnerability. I believe this relationship is the key to effective therapy. It allows me to gain an understanding of your past, present and where you would like to see yourself in the future. Developing this foundation affords us the opportunity to create a client centered approach to addressing your concerns. I utilize a blend of evidence based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, art therapy, and psychoeducation.

At times in life, you have been faced with overwhelming situations, challenges, and struggles. You may be existing in a day-to-day state of feeling inadequate, unaccepted, indecisive, unmotivated, and in mental, physical, and spiritual disarray. Your body is fatigued yet your mind continues to race creating unwanted scenarios leading to anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, codependency, trauma, and relationship concerns. You may feel stuck in unhealthy patterns and cycles with minimal support. You may feel powerless. Powerless to let go, start over, and risk being vulnerable.

I believe that an effective therapy relationship is one in which you feel heard, respected and accepted as you are. From this place transformation and growth can occur.
