Therapists in Hastings, MI

Have you had trauma or relationships in your life that you are struggling to move past? Are you living with constant anxiety, stress, and/or depression? Are you a member of the LGBTQ+ community looking for a safe, understanding environment to discuss freely who you are? Whatever brings you to therapy, I would be honored to help you find a way forward. We can collaborate to understand what is not working for you, how it came to be, and how we can find a path through together.

My imagination is captivated by how intricate and interconnected our stories are with the world around us, both in our intimate relationships and in the culture and society in which we live. Oftentimes these stories can weave patterns of disconnection between oneself and others, leaving us feeling stuck, and in need of care and tending. In my work, I offer a heartfelt and empathic space to explore your experience in the world. Whether it’s finding self-acceptance, moving through anxiety or depression, or navigating relationship challenges, I meet you where you’re at and help you find your inner resources for healing.

"My style is warm, genuine and supportive. I am an interactive therapist and will work with you to discover and honor your inner strengths. I am supportive and listen to assist you to find solutions for new life directions, I believe strongly in the client/ therapist relationship."

Life often contains unexpected and difficult challenges that lead to us grieving that life is not what we were hoping for or planned. These challenges can be situational or ongoing experiences. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a significant life transition, relational struggles, questions of identity, persistent feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy, constant worries, or existential/spiritual doubts, we can be left feeling lost and unsure what to do next. When these occur it can be demoralizing and defeating, but also provide immense opportunity for growth. It is my goal to help each person navigate these times in life.

I enjoy working with individuals struggling with chronic illness, eating disorders, weight loss, anxiety, depression, interpersonal concerns, and general life stress. I understand that it can be extremely stressful to manage emotional or physical health concerns in our fast paced, high pressure society. Throughout my training, I have admired the people I have worked with who are making transitions and want to examine themselves, their past, and their interpersonal environment to make changes that work for them.

Many of us have experienced hardships and suffering in our lives, and sometimes we need help. I believe psychotherapy is a space that can help by providing healing and comfort to those who need it. Many things can contribute to life’s difficulties including historical, systemic, emotional, relational, and interpersonal factors. In therapy, I am interested in how these complexities impact you.

I offer teletherapy and in-office therapy to clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations racial and ethnic identities. With 25 years of clinical experience, I provide a safe and confidential space to explore what needs healing. Trained in trauma EMDR /Polyvalgal /Brainspotting and in-depth Psychodynamic therapy. I help adults and college students with stress, depression, PTSD, sexual trauma, loss, grief, anger, gender dysphoria, parenting, and young adult challenges. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, special education (ADHD, ASD), & in home-based trauma care (TF-CBT).

Welcome! I'm Incia Rashid-Dawdy, Therapist, Founder, and CEO of Curated Change Psychotherapy and Coaching, PLLC. I founded Curated Change for one simple reason: to provide fully-remote therapy and coaching services tailored to support people who are navigating the exhausting and uncertain world we all live in. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Illinois and Michigan, and as an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in working with Millennial, Gen-Z, BIPOC and LGBTQIA clients through a culturally-sensitive, queer-affirming, sex-positive lens, and have 10+ years of experience providing mental health care to those in need.

Hi there! I specialize in working with folks who are experiencing behaviors and emotions that are difficult to understand. Together, we can explore what those thoughts and feelings are, how best to understand them, learn about treatment approaches, and set goals. I enjoy helping to build a support network that has your best interest at heart, and allows you to share your experience with those supports in a way that gives you choice and dignity. LGBTQAI+ affirming and compassionate care is the standard here, as is support around accessing reproductive healthcare.

I am an AASECT-certified Sex Therapist and a Licensed Social Worker able to work with clients from anywhere in the State of Michigan. I provide a safe space to explore where you came from, who you are now, and who you want to be in this world, alongside focusing on hard truths and circumstances. Clients who work with me will gain knowledge of the working relationship within themselves and the systems we may or may not choose in life.

I take a collaborative, holistic, and relational approach to therapy that allows for the client to be the expert in their own experience. I try to create a non-judgmental space for clients to process and contextualize their experiences within the systems, relationships and positions in which we operate. I tend to be emotionally-focused and person-centered, meaning therapy will be a dynamic space that feels most aligned with what you may need or want on any given day.

As relational beings, we are instinctively wired for connection. It is within the context of relationship that we discover our potential for transformative change. Therapy is a collaborative process of uncovering this potential by cultivating a deep, trusting relationship. I believe it's imperative to provide therapy that goes beyond merely treating symptoms. This is why I take a depth-oriented approach in order for us to discover the root causes & work through barriers. I also believe in the importance of honoring the developmental, biological, sociocultural, and interpersonal parts of yourself to assist in the healing process.

I enjoy coaching clients and professionals through life-stressors, trauma recovery (PTSD), mediating relational issues in couples and family therapy, and helping clients develop healthy coping skills for anxiety, depression, mood and impulse disorders. I help clients set and reach achievable long and short term goals to give them a sense of productivity and accomplishment through solution-focused therapy. If you are in need of specific resources or community services, I walk alongside my clients to identify needs and coordinate services. I welcome clients at all stages of mental health wellness.

Wanna cozy up by the lake, get into your body, and release trauma? Me too. Somatic therapy isn't something I discovered after becoming a therapist, it is THE reason I became a therapist and has sculpted my training and learning experiences since the moment I began my education. As a deeply relational bodymind therapist, my commitment is to create a safe container in which you can move through the veil of any past wounding and shame into vibrant aliveness, seeing the world through your birthright: attachment security, confidence and self-love, the ability to give and receive love, and a sense of belonging in the universe.

You deserve the support you need and I am here to help you find it. I specialize in treating many forms of trauma. My priority is to help you find strength, support, and confidence in and out of session. Suppose you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or relational issues. These are difficult to experience and I can help you find control and power over your experience that create overwhelming thoughts and feelings and help you try to get back to living your life the way you want.

Therapy is a way to live a more satisfying life. I strive to help those experiencing life's transitions, in career, relationships, personal identity, family, and/or other turning points. I also work with the very perceptive and their particular challenges. Additionally, my background connects me with medical/care-givers. Through understanding, and the integration of various approaches, primarily relational psychoanalytic pysychotherapy, we can navigate through those challenges. I serve with humility a variety of clientele of various cultural, ethnic, gender, and other identities.

The decision to start therapy signals an interest and curiosity about becoming more grounded and present in our lives. Each of us has a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape who we are and how we experience relationships. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and draws on psychodynamic, sensorimotor, and mindfulness based modalities. I work with clients from a practical, here-and-now perspective while attending to the impact of relational, cultural, and early childhood experiences. I am Level 1 Basic Trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. I also work with grief & loss, depression, and body image/acceptance.

Have you experienced religious trauma/spiritual abuse or other trauma from which you can't seem to bounce back? Do you ever think that your mind, emotions, and/or body are your enemy? Do you want to feel more grounded, connected to your true Self, and fulfilled in life? If so, I would love the chance to meet with you. I've spent years healing from religious trauma and learning to release the associated feelings of shame and anxiety in order to find the authentic "home" within me and I care deeply about helping others do the same, no matter their particular life experience.
