Female Therapists in Rochester Hills, MI

Hello! My name is Lindzy Sienkowski, and I am a fully Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. I am also recognized as a National Certified Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I currently work with adolescents (ages 13 & up) & adults and offer individual therapy services both in-person & via telehealth. My clinical experience lends expertise in the areas of eating disorders, trauma, anxiety and depression.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help clients reach their full potential by developing a healthy sense of self. A non-judgmental and empathetic atmosphere is crucial to developing a positive therapeutic relationship. I work with adolescents and adults of various backgrounds who struggle with the hardships of daily living including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm/suicidal ideation, trauma, life transitions, as well as the struggles of the LGBTQ community and those of multicultural backgrounds.

Motivated by the inherent potential of people and the mysticism of life, I'm driven to help you find what works for you. My approach is holistic, fluid, judgment-free, and individualized. To the table, I bring a perspective that we all have a light and greatness to share in this lifetime, and while sometimes we get off track or our light flickers, there’s time to reroute. Emotions can be the signals telling us we need a new way. On this therapy ride, you’re the captain and I’m the passenger helping to navigate. Wherever you're at in your journey, I'm willing to meet you there and support you in reaching your desired destination.

"The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow." I'm passionate about working with adults and couples who are seeking to overcome life challenges and live a fulfilling life. I strive to create a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment that encourages insight and self-awareness and enhances the self-discovery process. I will empower you to make positive changes in your life that increase personal connections and help you to feel hopeful about the future.

Emotional pain, racing thoughts, impulsivity, hopelessness, being overwhelmed are just a few of many things that people struggle with and some even accept as normal part of life. Moreover, many people are nervous to start therapy. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathic environment where I believe that each client is the best expert on their own lives. I listen and unconditionally accept each individual and create an integrative, unique and collaborative approach to therapy for every client. If you've considered therapy but still unsure, contact me. I am here to answer your questions.

Life challenges can be overwhelming at times. I strive to assist individuals, couples and families in achieving emotionally healthy lives and reaching their specific life goals. I have a master degree in social work with a post graduate in Marriage and Couples therapy and a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology. I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor and I am trained in EMDR. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, parenting, substance use and adjustment struggles. I have clinical interests in cognitive behavioral, EMDR, mindfulness, animal-assisted, creative and art approached therapy.

The ultimate goal of my practice is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for you to achieve your own therapeutic & life goals. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression, difficulties with adjustment to new life situations (i.e. end of a relationship, marriage, birth of a baby, or an educational journey), desire an extra support system in your life, or a deeper relationship and insight into yourself; you don't have to do it alone. On your journey we can work to achieve personal growth, increase self-love, discover your true self, & learn and implement new skills. I also offering professional coaching.

As an experienced, licensed psychologist, my role is to help people during difficult times in their lives. You might be experiencing conflict, anger, despair, sadness or simply feeling overwhelmed with daily responsibilities. I can help you to learn new, more efficient ways for managing time, stressors, relationships and emotions. My approach is supportive, with a focus on blending relief with an understanding of past and present factors impacting you and your decision-making.

Ever felt like you were ready for change, but you weren’t quite sure where to start? Or that you wanted to talk to someone, but you weren’t sure how? Or wondered, “has anyone else ever felt this way?” Good news, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to Root & Bloom Therapy, a mental health practice serving Metro Detroit.

In a therapeutic setting, I strive to provide the space for clients to shed the external expectations of who they should be, and instead find the strength in who they truly are. For those who know exactly what they want to work through, to those who just sense that life does not feel comfortable, I am here to help explore life experiences and how they have shaped the behaviors and emotions in the person one has become. From there we can work together to clarify a brighter path forward.

Life has its fair share of ups and downs and despite your best efforts, the old ways of approaching life's challenges may no longer work. Seeking professional help can be difficult, but as a fully licensed and nationally certified counselor, my goal is to create an encouraging, safe, trusting, and compassionate environment where you can begin to heal. Discovering new ways to think about your past, your current challenges, and your future, can reduce stress, improve health, enhance relationships and increase self-esteem. When paired with setting goals and implementing new behavioral skills, personal growth is MORE than achievable!

I believe that therapy is a partnership between a counselor and a client, where knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. A good therapeutic relationship is collaborative and defined by empathy, understanding, trust, nonjudgment, authenticity, and hope. I strive to understand my clients’ experiences through their own personal lens. After all, you know yourself better than anyone, and that makes you your own best resource. My goal is to honor and respect my clients’ lived experiences in a way that makes you open to new ways of thinking.

As I work with clients, I strive to discover and explore the uniqueness of each individual. As this process unfolds, my hope is that you begin to feel comfortable to share your story with me. I work with adolescents and adults who may be experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and/or loss, relationship issues, men's/women's issues, life transitions, attachment issues, diminished self-esteem, living with chronic illness, and other challenges.

I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of courage and strength. By attending therapy, you may get clarity on difficult issues, obtain objective feedback, and develop individualized solutions that work for you and/or your family. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment and work collaboratively with you and/or your family to meet your goals.

I chose this profession from a profound desire to help and a strong belief that we all deserve help and healing. Deciding to seek help is the first brave step towards wellness. Taking positive strides and making healthy changes is what I am here to help with. Developing a warm, trusting, and calm environment is what I strive to provide each and every session. The most important aspect of therapy is developing a healthy therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to share your feelings, thoughts and experiences.

We are sometimes confronted with obstacles that keep us from living our best lives. If you are ready to confront these obstacles and take the first step to a better life, I am ready to help you get there. As a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience, I have successfully worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, work conflicts, and relationship issues. In addition, I have more than 25 years of experience in law enforcement, and so I am well-qualified to assist with the unique needs of first responder and law enforcement professionals.

I believe working closely with clients to help them reach their fullest potential through developing goals, creating healthy boundaries, and empowering you for change. I use evidence based cognitive behavioral methods to help you challenge everyday thinking that keeps you locked in self destructive or unhealthy patterns, which ultimately diminish quality of life and satisfaction of relationships. It is crucial for clients to understand their issues fully so corrective action and healing may happen. I meet my clients where they are in their lives and incorporate their culture, personal talents and strengths, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic background into the counseling process for authentic exchange.

I am here to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and work through any issue that you are having. Ex. grief, depression, anxiety, phobias, socialization, learning challenges, life challenges, etc. and anything else that will make you a stronger individual. I treat each client as an individual and work in a manner that gives you the best outcome. Therapy is a positive step in life, and it will allow you to explore your inner thoughts better and understand yourself fully.

I am passionate about helping adults (18 yrs+) become empowered by better understanding their struggles, learning tools to heal and to cope with current or past issues, and, in that process, to become the boss of their life again. I believe that all emotions and behaviors make sense in the context of one's life and are often attempts to solve a problem in the best way one knows how. Thus, there is no crazy! When wounds from the past get triggered in the present, it's an invitation for healing. Seeking help is a step to freedom I specialize in treating anxiety, PTSD/ C-PTSD, grief and loss, relationship struggles and women's issues.
