I work with individuals across the lifespan, from age three through older adults while establishing an environment of safety, collaboration, and growth. Whether it's through play therapy with a child or insight development with adults, individuals are treated as unique and celebrated for what makes them different as we work together to help you reach your goals. I prioritize patients feeling heard while being challenged to grow toward and through their stressors in a manner that maximizes their potential and leads to confidence, self-esteem, and empowerment.

I have unique perspective and experience working with immigrants and children of immigrants from Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia, drawing on my own journey as an immigrant. Living in a university community, I have a history of working with BIPOC and LGBT clients navigating social/familial challenges, as well as clients in midst of higher education/PhD pursuits.

I am often contacted by clients unable to derive pleasure from their daily lives. At times, these problems are clearly linked to anxiety, depression, or to inner conflicts. However, at other times, clients are not able to point to specific symptoms, but rather are troubled by a vague sense of dissatisfaction that complicates relationships, work life, or their ability to be successful in school or in other pursuits. Previous attempts to solve these problems through the use of medications or by focusing on behavior or cognitions have proven less than satisfactory, and have led to an interest in trying insight-oriented psychotherapy.

Hi There! I am Sonya Payne, a licensed mental health therapist (LMSW). Welcome and congratulations on taking the next step in your healing journey! Change is not always easy but with holistic, compassionate support, change is doable. If you are ready for change, then you are my ideal client. It is never up to me to tell you what you want or need. What I can and absolutely will do is provide emotional care and support while you decide what is best for you.

The purpose of spiritual counseling is to support you in living from your deepest, most authentic self. As we continually develop, it can be difficult to remain authentic, difficult to balance our own highest values with cultural, vocational, and familial challenges. Especially in times of transition, it takes support, reflection and encouragement to remain true to who we are. While I bring my experience as an ordained Zen Buddhist to my spiritual counseling practice, ultimately my goal is to meet clients where they are, using the particularities of their strengths to help them settle more deeply into their true selves.

You deserve to genuinely enjoy life. Maybe you feel overwhelmed because you are caring for others before you care for yourself. Maybe you are tired from being weighed down by emotional pain like trauma, grief, depression, or anxiety. Whatever brought you here, we can work together to find a way through.

This being human isn’t always easy. As a therapist, I am grounded in the knowledge that each person is an expert in their own lived experience, as such I trust and honor the needs and wisdom of each client.

Welcome! If you've landed here, you're probably someone that can identify with feeling stuck in life, battling stress, anxiety or depression, or wanting to strengthen relationships. I'm a laid back therapist whose goal is to provide a comfortable environment that is empathic, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive. As a certified Brainspotting (BSP) therapist with extensive training, I can help you identify, process, and release emotional and physical sources of trauma, both big and small. BSP is an excellent tool for performance enhancement as well.

I am a clinical social worker and PhD educator. As a therapist I see clients in person at my private practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and by Doxy (like Zoom). I am also an Assistant Professor at Ferris State University Social Work Department, teaching graduate and undergraduate students. In addition, I conduct research on gender diversity, and I have done policy work to change the national recommendations for provision of mental health services to transgender and gender non-conforming people, serving as the lead author of the NASW National Policy on Work with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Clients.

I combine traditional talk therapy with integrative and holistic approaches that calm the nervous system, access inner knowledge, strengthen the Self, and develop new ways of coping with challenges. These can include breath and relaxation, guided imagery, meditation, and energy psychology. I also teach cognitive behavioral techniques to change harmful thought patterns. Based in current brain science and ancient wisdom teachings, I help people utilize the healthy and mature parts of themselves to become more conscious, integrated, and whole.

If you are feeling lost, stressed, overwhelmed, or aren't enjoying things that you used to love doing, you are in the right place.

This means that we will go at your speed and talk about things when you are ready. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients in a variety of roles (primarily healthcare) from teenagers through older adults.

Admitting you can’t do everything alone is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world. Therefore, we provide mental health therapists who support the growth of people, organizations, and communities by providing culturally-sensitive mental health services. As experienced therapists, we are honored to assist you in exploring your core issues and moving toward a healthy, fulfilling life. We have worked with clients who have experienced trauma/depression/anxiety; we have worked in athletics, college/school systems, hospital settings, private practice, and mental health systems.

For close to 10 years I have worked with children, adolescents, and their families, helping them to navigate challenging situations, behavioral concerns, and ongoing issues related to trauma. Additionally, I specialize in working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship issues, family issues, and life transitions.

I provide an eclectic approach, primarily utilizing behavioral, humanistic, psycho-spiritual, and inner child modalities – with a specialization in complex trauma, shadow work, generational patterns, and the journey to authenticity. My practice is person-centered, meaning that I’m a guide in your exploration of self – I may be nudging and pointing things out, but you, as the client, are ultimately leading where we go. My goal is to enrich and point out the positive traits that you already possess, and offer acknowledgment into aspects of yourself or your circumstances that you maybe haven’t seen yet.

I work together with clients to address issues that may be interfering with their overall well being or may be hindering how they function in one or more areas of life. My practice is informed by mindfulness, mindful self compassion, and mind-body science and I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to improve functioning and resilience.
