Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

Cross Roads Professional Counseling, LLC (CRPC) is a private practice that provides mental health counseling to adult clients. Support, expertise, and encouragement are provided through a warm therapeutic environment.

Talk therapy serves a valuable purpose by aiding your brain in processing challenging emotions during specific moments in your life and enabling introspection regarding associated thoughts. However, what if you find yourself trapped in the depressive, anxious, angry, or shameful mental state for so long that you have nothing new to explore? What if, despite recounting your traumatic experiences numerous times, your low energy, sadness, avoidance, anger, or impulsivity still persists? And what if the somatic reactions triggered by certain events are so intense and rapid that you are unable to employ sound judgment?

My goal is to support individuals in creating a culture of emotional awareness that leads to healing, joy, and empowerment. I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults, POC, and LGBTQ individuals who may struggle with a range of issues including neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, self-esteem, PTSD, grief & loss, LGBTQ-related concerns, sexual issues, anger management, parenting challenges, life stressors, and work-life balance. Additionally, I specialize in supporting individuals with executive functioning difficulties such as ASD and ADHD. I take a holistic approach, addressing the needs

I am dedicated to therapeutic support for adolescents, college students, individuals, couples, families, and groups. With a focus on issues related to trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, anger management, and significant life changes, I challenge clients to explore their emotions, examine past and current issues, and identify goals. By fostering social, emotional, and behavioral competencies, I equip clients with new skills to regulate their emotions and create resilience in a safe, nurturing environment where clients feel a sense of belonging and acceptance.

Emotional distress takes many forms: low self esteem, depression, anxiety, chronic anger, and/or relationship problems are some of the reasons people come to therapy. Some people who see me are having a difficult time with a life transition or have been unable to bounce back from a significant loss. Some have a history of being traumatized in ways that still impact them, or have problematic and unproductive ways of coping with life's difficulties.

I offer individual and couples therapy tailored to the needs of the unique people who walk through my door. With training and interest in working with patients across the lifespan coming from diverse backgrounds, I have special interest in working with emerging adults (older teens to 30's) and couples. I work well with patients struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, anger, depression, and anxiety. As a psychologist, I've learned through my training, research, and personal experience that there is no such thing as "one-size fits all" when it comes to therapy and change.

My clients struggle with various issues: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, divorce / break-ups, parenting concerns, medical challenges, etc. They come to me facing ongoing loneliness, sadness, and fear. My clients expect a compassionate space in which to explore their difficulties; unconditional positive regard from me to them. I honor clients where they are at and partner with them to facilitate the healing necessary to get them to where they want to be. My clients explore how their experiences in early childhood shaped how they show up in the world on a day to day basis, sometimes in unexpected ways.

My AIM is to aid my consumers on moving from compromised to optimized states. Many individuals I connect with maintain survival and coping mechanisms for years until they choose to begin thriving. Change is often sabotaged despite desire for growth due to uninterrupted Subconscious Cognitive Loops. In our meetings, we will assess various Dimensions of your Current Experiences and Explore Techniques that can Enhance Psychological Flexibility and Detachment from unnecessary suffering.

It often feels like life just won’t slow down. There are spiraling thoughts you can’t step away from. There are feelings of isolation & the idea that you need to do everything yourself. There are overwhelming feelings in new phases of life, such as graduation, moving, or parenthood, that seem unending. These experiences are common & you’re not alone in them. Counseling is a collaborative & judgment free space to process thoughts, feelings & behaviors. I’ll walk alongside you to help deepen your personal insight, change unhelpful thought patterns & learn new skills.

Life can feel chaotic. Together we can create a non-judgmental space where you may find the grounding needed for clarity. Drawing from your strengths we can identify the skills needed as you navigate your way forward in the most meaningful way. Whether you are struggling with life circumstances, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties or substance use, I hope to collaborate with you as you seek contentment and meaning. I work with adults, students, teens and groups. Please check out erinkrajcik.com for more info or email me to start the process.

Holistic wellness is about finding a seat in a world increasingly marked by systemic barriers. Very often, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals aren't given seats at tables, or even welcomed into rooms that would make life more accessible. I see therapy as a folding chair—a portable, adaptable, and transformative support system that we unfold into our lives to create our own spaces to thrive. My ideal client is open, ready, and willing to work on themselves, name their inner demons, and resist the systemic barriers that have tried to dictate their paths.

Do you find it difficult to form authentic connections with others? Do you experience persistent racing thoughts? Do you grapple with frequent indecisiveness? Do you confront ongoing fear? Do you struggle with effective communication? Do you feel a sense of hopelessness and emotional numbness, and encounter challenges when making commitments?

Imagine seeing squirrels scamper or hearing birds chirping during your therapy session. Or feeling the warm sunshine on your skin and fresh air in your lungs. If being in nature sounds more healing and less intimidating than sitting in an office, then walk and talk therapy may be just what you're looking for! Walking helps the brain to release "feel good" chemicals, helping to alleviate depression and anxiety and reduce stress. Walking decreases negative emotions and promotes mental clarity and positive thinking. It can boost self-esteem, increase energy, improve sleep quality, and allow you to reconnect with the natural world.

Do you often feel alone, even while being surrounded by friends or loved ones? Maybe you are struggling with meeting person goals due to a lack of motivation? Fighting an internal battle with yourself is exhausting; you do not have to fight this battle quietly or alone. I can help you get to the life you desire and deserve.

Do you feel stressed, sad, overwhelmed or frustrated? Are you struggling in your relationships with others or with yourself? Do your goals feel unachievable? Some days, merely existing with our emotional & mental turmoil can feel heavy & exhausting. Detecting a path forward can be complicated & daunting. Finding a space to be authentically vulnerable & process your individual experience can be hard. As a Therapist, my priority is to create a comfortable & secure atmosphere, to work as a team with you & to provide care that is unique to your experience & honors you & your goals. I promise to provide a safe, non-judgemental space.

I believe change is possible when people feel safe, supported, and empowered to make the life changes they want to see for themselves. I think we are all born with a story, however, through empowerment and self-awareness we are able to write the chapters of our lives that align with our most authentic selves. I strive to provide a comfortable and safe therapeutic environment for my clients to be able to openly discuss any life challenges they may face.

Since you can remember have people said to you: You are so sensitive! Or casually implied that you are overreacting to something? It this is you, you most likely belong to the 20% of the population who are Highly sensitive (HSP) or Empaths. Feeling criticized or singled out as different than others does not feel good, as you very well know, and it creates feelings of not good enough and of wanting to fit in with others -which make social interactions and relationships difficult at times- and not only that, it can keep you feeling stuck and powerless to change your life for the better.
