Do you find it challenging to relax and enjoy the present moment, especially in difficult times filled with fear and uncertainty? Are you struggling to quiet your inner critic? Do you have a hard time sitting with intense emotions, naming them, and expressing them to others? I work with female and queer clients who want to feel more grounded, present, and empowered in their lives. Things such as trauma, substance use, anxiety, and depression can impact our ability to connect with our bodies, feel our feelings, and experience safety in the present moment. In addition to talk therapy, I offer somatic therapy: Brainspotting (which is similar to EMDR) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. Somatic therapy uses a bottom-up approach of feeling vs. thinking. The body contains so much intuitive wisdom, and being able to sit with challenging sensations – in a safe and controlled way – can lead to better emotion regulation. Therapy can be challenging, so I strive to provide a light-hearted, non-judgmental space where humor and laughter become a part of the process. If I could be a good fit for you, email me to schedule a free consultation, or to schedule an initial session.

College life can be fun and memorable, but it can also be an adjustment and lonely. My goal is to help through those adjustments and to always feel like you have a support system on your side. Her experience includes stress, anxiety, executive functioning, crisis intervention and friendship concerns. Therapeutic techniques used include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness. Services have been provided in an individual, group and classroom setting.

We can manage your prescription and medications. Our Care Philosophy: I believe the best care comes from building a strong partnership with my patients. I take time to listen closely to each person’s story, value their input, and work with them to create a treatment plan that fits their goals and lifestyle. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on empowering patients to take an active role in their mental health. I explain treatment options clearly, answer questions in plain language, and encourage open communication so patients feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. I also believe in meeting patients where they are—whether that means adjusting care to match their pace or providing extra education and resources to help them feel confident. Above all, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a safe and respectful environment where patients feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey toward healing and wellness.

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here and taking this important step in your therapy journey. My name is Ruqaiyah Rogers, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. I’m passionate about helping college students like you find clarity, confidence, and balance while navigating life’s challenges. 🌟 College can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, big life changes, or just feeling stuck. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable exploring what’s going on and figuring out ways to move forward. I see therapy as a partnership. We’ll work together to identify your goals and use approaches that fit your unique needs. For example: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): This is all about helping you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns so you can feel more in control of your emotions and actions. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): Here, we focus on learning practical skills like managing overwhelming feelings, improving relationships, and staying grounded in the moment. Brainspotting: This is a technique that helps process deeper emotions and stress stored in your body. It’s great for understanding and healing from tough experiences. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This approach is especially helpful for working through difficult memories or trauma, so they don’t feel as overwhelming anymore. If this is your first time in therapy, you might feel a little nervous, and that’s completely normal. Therapy is a space just for you, a private, judgment-free zone, to talk about anything that’s on your mind, no matter how big or small. You’re already showing courage by taking this step, and I’m here to support you in finding your way toward growth, healing, and the life you want. Let’s work together to create meaningful change and help you feel more confident and connected to yourself. 💜💛

Welcome to this brave journey! If you’re here, even feeling hesitant or ambivalent, you’ve already taken the first step by acknowledging a part of you that desires healing & growth. And allow me to be your travel companion in your healing journey. The psychotherapy process is like connecting dots or assembling a puzzle, helping to facilitate your experience and foster meaningful change. This is a safe space where you can explore unprocessed emotions, develop a healthier relationship with your feelings, thoughts, and pain, and untangle complex relationships with yourself and others. Here, you’ll discover insights about long-standing themes in your life and cultivate a sense of self-agency. Feel free to contact me to begin the process.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, CAADC with over 15 years of experience. I have specialized knowledge in trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Internal family Systems, (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidenced based intervention for working with individuals who have experienced trauma or disturbing events in their lives that keep them stuck. EMDR quickly moves an individual through disturbing events and negative self-beliefs, to positive self-beliefs, eliminating emotional distress. I believe improved quality of life, emotional, physical, and social, can be achieved by building upon your strengths and providing you a safe, supportive, nonjudgement environment, while respecting your hopes, dreams, and desires. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families and the LGBTQ+ community obtain the quality of life they deserve through their healing process. If you do not have the quality of life you deserve, there is hope. It would an honor to assist you with achieving the happy, healthy, and purpose driven life, with quality relationships, that you so deserve.

College can be really hard — it definitely was for me. I struggled with the transition, felt lost in who I was, and went through a lot: relationship issues, self-esteem stuff, grief, even addiction. That’s part of what brought me to therapy, and eventually to becoming a therapist myself. Now, I work with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of who they are. I know how lonely it can feel when things get heavy — and I also know that healing is possible. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I won’t give you generic advice or try to “fix” you — instead, we’ll explore what’s going on in a way that feels real, safe, and supportive. I specialize in trauma, identity, grief, anxiety, and neurodivergence. I’m also LGBTQ+ affirming and really care about creating space for all parts of who you are. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We can start wherever you are.

Do tests make you break into a sweat? Stuck in fear of what next steps to take? Unsure of how to make friends? Do you strive to be the person who can do it all, all of the time for everyone-but you're secretly running on fumes? Feeling exhausted or unmotivated? Let's chat. College and young adulthood are hard. Not everyone gets it-and you have some major decisions to make during this time. All while trying to navigate finding and maintaining relationships, working, and getting good grades. And it may feel like you're running out of time and mental energy to figure it all out. This is where counseling comes in. Together, we slow down the process. We create coping skills, find what works for you and give you space to share your thoughts and feelings. We work on building skills you can use now and in the future. This is time and space for you to explore, learn and grow-mostly about you! This is for you.

As a mental health therapist and licensed clinical social worker, I find great honor in walking alongside people amid different seasons of life. I work to tailor my approach towards each person's unique experiences, identities, and needs. I approach my work from a relational and trauma-informed framework while drawing from a variety of treatment modalities. My aim is to create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment that equips clients to achieve their individual goals ultimately enriching their lives. I commonly work with people presenting with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I additionally have specialized training and experience working with those who have endured complex trauma, sexual harm and those who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation or trafficking.

The transition to college is huge and especially challenging after years of having life structured for you. Let’s work together to help you feel better and get back on track to bring out the best version of you. We will work on ways to cope with anxiety, clean up self-talk, and work on boundaries if need be. We can work on creating some structure with some flexibility that works for you. I can help you with regaining focus and getting back on track. I look forward to hearing from you!

Kalamazoo Child and Family Counseling provides compassionate and quality therapy to children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. We are a mental health clinic primarily dedicated to serving children, teens and young adults. Our clinicians all have special training and experience in child development and issues specific to children’s mental health. We have a pediatric focus that is both trauma-informed and rooted in researched-based strategies known to be effective with children. Our counseling center specializes in providing therapy to children with anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), grief and loss, and behavioral disorders like oppositional defiant disorder. Additionally, we work with many foster and adoptive families. We help children and their caregivers who are experiencing attachment and relational difficulties.

I specialize in supporting high-achieving professionals—especially those in academia or the helping profession (doctors, nurses, therapists, pastors)—who grapple with perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, codependency, and the challenge of prioritizing their own needs amidst the many demands of their personal and professional lives. As an immigrant, I bring a rich, cross-cultural perspective to therapy and a deep appreciation for how culture shapes identity, relationships, and mental health. Many of my clients are navigating complex intersections of cultural expectations, academic roles, and personal values. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a professor and active researcher. My academic work focuses on interpersonal trauma and its impact on relationships and meaning-making. This dual identity as both clinician and scholar informs my approach: deeply reflective, integrative, and grounded in both science and lived experience. I work exclusively via Telehealth with adult clients residing in GA, MI, and TX. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship—one that offers both safety and challenges patterns by providing direct and honest feedback. If you're ready to invest in yourself and your well-being, I invite you to reach out.

Hi I am Julie! I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist and the owner of Peaks Therapy, L.L.C. in Michigan. I truly believe that growth and healing come from embracing vulnerability.

Now accepting new clients! My sessions are all virtual, and I work with clients throughout the state of Michigan. For a productive experience in therapy, I feel it’s very important for a client to find a therapist whose approach is right for them. My approach to therapy is client-centered. I listen without judgement and help guide you toward finding the answers that are already inside of you. My goal is to make you feel safe and comfortable while empowering you to make progress toward your goals. Throughout our lives, we are all socialized in different ways to abandon our true natures. We often make choices to fit in or meet expectations even when those choices don’t align with what is best for us. Through therapy, you can take steps to create a life and develop relationships that are meaningful and authentic. My specialties include anxiety, depression, and intimacy and relationships. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, including couples. I have significant experience working with teenagers on issues of anxiety, emotion regulation, relationships, and identity. I am passionate about the mind-body connection and tailoring sessions to meet each client's needs.

I believe that a core piece of psychotherapy is coming to truly see yourself, and allowing others (the therapist, at first) to see you as well. I practice psychodynamic therapy, which means that I am curious about your emotions, your past experiences, the intricacies of your mind and unconscious, and your imagination. Some people need to be listened to in therapy, others need to be told certain things, and often people need a little of both. I try to discern what is needed by each patient as best I can.

Life can feel like a rollercoaster—full of unexpected ups, downs, and sharp turns that can leave us feeling stuck or unsure of what comes next. In those moments, it’s completely natural to question whether things will ever get better. You don’t have to navigate that alone. In our work together, my goal is to walk alongside you, offering support, practical tools, and a safe space to explore what you need in order to move forward with confidence and a greater sense of balance. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and draw from several evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Together, we’ll tailor treatment to fit your unique needs, values, and goals. I am committed to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. My style is strength-based and collaborative, focusing on helping you access your resilience and developing meaningful, achievable steps that support your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in this next part of your journey.

I specialize in working with college students, young adults, individuals, and couples navigating trauma, academic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance use, and life transitions. I have experience providing services in College Counseling and Psychological Services settings, where I’ve supported students through personal, relational, and academic challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I use EMDR along with other evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to support holistic healing and emotional well-being. I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.
