Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Saline, MI

My clients struggle with various issues: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, divorce / break-ups, parenting concerns, medical challenges, etc. They come to me facing ongoing loneliness, sadness, and fear. My clients expect a compassionate space in which to explore their difficulties; unconditional positive regard from me to them. I honor clients where they are at and partner with them to facilitate the healing necessary to get them to where they want to be. My clients explore how their experiences in early childhood shaped how they show up in the world on a day to day basis, sometimes in unexpected ways.

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.

It's hard to give yourself the kindness, empathy, and trust you give to others. It may be even harder to reach out for help when you notice yourself feeling low, anxious or unsteady. I recognize that it's a massive step to be here: considering which therapist is the best fit for you. I'm honored to be a part of your therapeutic journey, where YOU are the expert of your own experiences. I am dedicated to providing a supportive and safe space for you throughout the therapeutic process. Each session will be rooted in your goals, values, and needs.

I often work with people who have learned to hide who they are or what they are feeling in order to have relationships. My hope is to build a "safe enough" client/counselor relationship in which all parts of you can feel welcome. The therapeutic relationship often mirrors other relationships in your life, so I will be addressing our relationship dynamics and communication as part of the therapeutic process.

The decision to seek therapy can be scary. If you seek help with anxiety, depression, betrayal trauma, sexual addictions, childhood trauma, MPE/NPE adults, self-esteem issues or lingering effects of neglect or abandonment I'm here to help. Over the past 12 years, I have used a brain based, client centered, whole person perspective and developed a personalized approach based on each client's unique experiences and needs. All aspects of the person are considered in my approach to therapy, including health, family of origin relationships, physical and emotional wounds experienced, internalized beliefs and core values.

I am glad you are here. I strive to empower people who are experiencing feelings of sadness, loss, fear, and hopelessness related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and life stressors. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can build a valuable therapeutic relationship. Together, we will work to better understand your thoughts, behaviors, emotions and choices. My hope is that you will grow and heal through this experience and that you will embrace a renewed sense of self and wellbeing.

Hello! I'm so happy that you're here! In my work with children, adults, and families, I focus on grief, anxiety, racial, gender, and sexuality issues. I have significant experience with those who are POC, and neurodivergent and the unique issues that may face them. I also can assist with trauma, PTSD and life transitions. I like to use mainly talk based therapy, but I am ultimately here for you and whatever best fits your needs! I also offer a 15-minute free consultation meeting via phone or video to see if we are a match.

Not accepting new clients at this time. Waitlist currently closed as of April 2024. Telehealth-based only. Are you tired of the anxiety and discomfort you feel? Are you having repetitive intrusive thoughts that move you away from being mindfully present? Are you highly motivated for change and looking for some guidance to get you to a better quality of life? My name is Krista Gravatt and I am an Anxiety and OCD specialist treating adults 18 and up. I love working with college students and young professionals!

Not accepting new clients currently. Real recovery from psychosis is possible. Are you looking for an understanding of unusual experience that promotes healing? Do you want to recover agency and direction in your life? Dialogic practice aims to listen carefully, accepting and exploring differences, so people with alternate views are truly heard and taken seriously. We don’t view negative feelings as a disorder, but as essential guideposts to greater understanding. I agree with Dan Fisher, MD, PhD, a psychiatrist recovered from ‘schizophrenia’, who says medications alone may buy you time, but they rarely solve your problems - you do.
