Kelsey Dowty, is a licensed master social worker with over 10 years of experience working with young children and their families. Kelsey is an endorsed Infant Mental Health Specialist and certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). She is often inspired by her pet pigeon Bobber and his flock of resilient pigeon friends, who have a remarkable way of igniting hope in the hopeless. Bobber and his feathered friends sometimes make their way into therapy, as they enjoy sharing their life stories with children about how embracing adversity can create beautiful meaning. Kelsey has worked extensively with young children experiencing developmental delays, children dealing with trauma and loss, children who have attachment disorders, as well as children who have been in foster care or adopted. For young children, she approaches trauma and attachment difficulties within the parent-child relationship, as caregivers are essential in helping their child heal. Kelsey knows there is power in relationships and opportunity for healing. She is here to witness your truth, sit with you through the anguish, and empower you to create your next beginning.

Jazmin Guy is a compassionate and grounded therapist who believes that you are the expert on your life. Her role is to walk alongside you—offering insight, encouragement, and reflection to help you reconnect with your truth and move toward healing. With a blended approach rooted in holistic practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and spiritual exploration, Jazmin works with individuals navigating major life transitions, unresolved childhood trauma, postpartum shifts, grief, and the often-overwhelming process of self-discovery. She also supports parents in redefining their identity and finding balance in their evolving roles. Her direct yet nurturing style helps clients get to the heart of their pain, making space for clarity, transformation, and growth. Clients often describe Jazmin as warm, intuitive, and refreshingly honest. Her welcoming energy makes it easier to be vulnerable, and her dependability provides a safe container for meaningful change. “I’ve always been deeply curious about what shapes us—the experiences, beliefs, and stories we carry. Therapy is a place to unpack those pieces and build a new, empowered narrative.” Jazmin’s mission is simple: to hold space, reflect truth, and support you in creating realistic expectations—for yourself, your relationships, and your healing journey.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you've been carrying the weight of anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity questions, or overwhelming emotions for a long time. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I work with young adults who are ready to better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and create lasting change. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, personality concerns, life transitions, or questions surrounding identity, therapy can provide both practical tools and a space to process what you've been through. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each person. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while recognizing that every person's experiences and goals are unique.

When therapy becomes a reality A situation arises in one’s life that alters our once innocent perspective of our surroundings. Answers are searched through the experience of others when ultimately the truth lies within our own experiences. These two phrases tend to resonate with individuals who experience trauma, anxiety, depression, overall dysregulation within their environment. Each person’s experience is unique as well as the journey to repairing the damage left behind. I believe therapy can be used to create a personable, yet the potentially uncomfortable path to reality and self-truth. Without exposing or facing the wounds, the trauma response can remain to stagnate or continue to spread internally and externally. In which developing the vicious cycle of chaos within, generationally, and/or onto others our surroundings. Therefore, strengthening self-acceptance in exploring our wounds can create wisdom for breaking the cycle(s). Professional Experience Seeking a therapist that fits you can be daunting. I feel in order to fully engage in the therapeutic process, it is important to know who your story is being shared with. I have experience with various populations and my style tends to be direct in nature. The individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting tend to struggle(d) in the following areas: Relationships (family, romantic, & interpersonal) Substance abuse (self or family/loved one) Life transitions (grief, growth, roles, separations, etc.) Intellectual-Developmental disabilities & Autism Caregiver fatigue “Never give up on someone with mental illness. When “I” is replaced with “WE”, Illness becomes Wellness”-Shannon L. Alder

I work well with many clients, but the following clients would get the most out of scheduling an appointment. A client who is trying to navigate through some significant life changes/stressors and who is clear that things need to change in their lives, but is not sure where to start. A client who needs guidance to steer themselves towards their life goals. I believe that there is seldom a "right way" to achieve a certain outcome, and treatment needs to be tailored to a client's needs. I can offer more structured approaches, such as CBT, or less structured approaches, such as existential therapy.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” -Fred Rogers Our experiences throughout life shape us in many ways. I work with individuals to empower them to better understand themselves, and the ways in which they manage life’s hardships, as stress and trauma are often unavoidable experiences of life. I am a trauma-focused mental health therapist, who believes that everyone has their own unique strengths for surviving and thriving through life’s ups and downs. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and attachment-focused. I value building a therapeutic alliance, and my intention is to have each individual feel heard and supported in our time together.

Hi there! I am a mental health therapist (LMSW) who offers virtual appointments only, with some flexibility for weekday and/or weekend scheduling. I have limited capacity to accommodate emergency sessions. I currently work with adult individuals only. I am an unambiguously Black, pansexual, cis-presenting, able bodied femme who understands and emphasizes the importance of intersectionality within mental health. Born and raised in Detroit, I have a thorough understanding of the environmental obstacles marginalized folx are challenged with when exploring the state of their mental health. I uphold the belief that exploration and management of mental health is a life-long journey, and I take pride in being able to assist on this journey. I have an eclectic approach to mental health, including the promotion of methods for holistic health. My areas of focus include creating safe spaces for Black folx, POC, non-monogamous folx, and those in the LGBTQIA2SP+ communities. I provide talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral informed therapy (DBT-informed), motivational interviewing (MI), and solution-focused therapy models. While these are my current areas of comfort, I am open to exploring additional modalities that may be of interest to clients. Therapy is a collaborative space, and I treat it as such. Other areas of focus include treatments for anxiety, depression, fat acceptance/liberation, intersectional stigmas, ableism, ageism, sexism, womanism, mindfulness, sexual liberation, sexual health, communication skills, academics, life skills, religious trauma, and the importance of Black femmes putting their cape down and resting. I look forward to being part of your healing process.
