Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

Welcome! I specialize in therapy for adults who are interested in digging into their relational history, anxiety, or parenting. Over the years, I have transitioned from working with children to working with adults. My strong understanding of child development helps me support adult clients in making sense of their early years and changing patterns that are no longer serving them. I often work with parents who want to parent in a way that is different than how they were parented and new parents who are feeling overwhelmed. I also enjoy supporting individuals who are having difficulties in their relationships.

There are many reasons why life can feel stressful or overwhelming, and leaving you wondering what you can do to help manage these feelings. Therapy is a safe space where you can come and feel supported in growing to reach your goals and become the best and happiest version of yourself. I believe that everyone is capable of growth given the right support and that each individual is the expert on their own life and experiences. It is my roles as the therapist to meet each client where they are at and give them the support and guidance they need in order to achieve their goals.

Newview Therapy has in-person and Telehealth psychotherapy openings available for adults, adolescents and teens. We are located in downtown Ann Arbor in a private, comfortable, peaceful space. Melissa also provides clinical supervision for LLMSWs and psychotherapists seeking supervision.

Regardless of how well we try to prepare, life and mental illness can get in the way of reaching our goals and living the life we want. Regardless of our age, life can be overwhelming and it can be difficult to identify how to make changes in our current situations and face our fears. Together we can work through these challenges and identify strategies to face them. I believe in validating and empowering my clients while adding valuable tools to their toolbox to help them create meaningful and lasting change.

For over 20 years, my focus has been on providing effective, individualized, and research-informed treatment for children, adolescents and adults. I have worked across the developmental lifespan from birth to seventy, and am Endorsed by the Michigan Association of Infant Mental Health (Level IV). We’ll work together to help develop greater self-awareness and self-regulation skills to build up more resources – both within you and surrounding you – to face life challenges.

In my private practice, I specialize in working with the transgender and non-binary community: adults, teens and children who identify as transgender and parents with a child or adult child who identifies as transgender or non-binary. While trans identified individuals face many of the same challenges as cisgender people, such as depression, anxiety and relationship concerns, I am also aware of the challenges unique to transgender and non-binary people and their loved ones including discrimination, stigma, rejection, and oppression.

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.

Is something out of balance in your life? With yourself? Your child? Your effectiveness as a parent? Your relationships? Life circumstances/transitions? If it is, please know that my way of practicing is to non-judgmentally understand what is going on--what area of your life is being negatively impacted. Then we can collaboratively work on establishing goals and a treatment plan. Whether it is Anxiety, OCD, Autism (including very young kids with autism), Depression/Bipolar, Behavior Problems, ADHD, Trauma or Insomnia, there is a way for you or your child to feel more in control, grounded and balanced.

Welcome! I specialize in therapy for anxiety and OCD in children, teens, and young adults; therapy and evaluations for toddlers, preschoolers, and young children; and parenting support. For young children, I offer diagnostic assessments to better understand their symptoms, development, and relationships, and to guide treatment recommendations. Therapy for young children can help them and their caregivers to improve their relationship, improve coping skills, reduce emotional outbursts or other mental health symptoms, and reduce parenting stress. I use strategies from evidence-based approaches, tailored for the needs of each family.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. Each individual brings new and different elements to culturally reoccuring problems. Our work together usually enriches us both. As a CBT therapist, I believe the value of changing thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. These strategies are especially effective for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and interpersonal interactions. I am also an advocate for personal choice and self care. So while changing thoughts and attitudes is helpful, the client decides which thoughts and attitudes they want to change. Finally, I supplement CBT with practical strategies for relationships, healthy lifestyles, relaxation, problem solving and general coping.
