What Clients Should Know About Me

Hi, I’m Kelli, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the people-helping field. I’m dedicated to creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.

I work with a diverse range of clients. I am a Certified First Responder Counselor and also specialize in supporting collegiate to professional-level athletes. Drawing from my own life experiences, I’m passionate about helping those who are often expected to stay strong for others but need a safe space to nurture their own mental and emotional wellbeing.

Treatment areas include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, performance enhancement, foster care and adoption, juvenile justice and corrections, abuse, and trauma.

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and authenticity. I earned my Master of Social Work degree at George Williams College of Aurora University. I take a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to therapy that recognizes the whole person. Including their relationships, life experiences, strengths, and environment. I specialize in working with anxiety, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, and the impact of difficult or traumatic experiences. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes that align with your values.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that prioritizing mental health is an integral part of quality of life. Congratulations on taking the first step towards self improvement! I have been practicing for 20 years with a focus on individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and difficulty with life transitions. I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing disconnection, conflict, and communication issues.

My name is Alicia Ali. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience in my field. I enjoy working with people of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their best self. I specialize in helping clients manage work/life stressors, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

Hello and thank you for being here! My name is Dorota, but I go by Dorothy. I am a wife, mom of 2 beautiful little girls and one furry, four-legged girl, and trauma therapist. I obtained my MSW in 2020 and LCSW in 2025 and have worked with all folks of all ages. My speciality is trauma, but anyone who is going through some challenges, life transitions, or just hard times right now can reach out to see if I would be a good fit.

I have provided counseling services for over 20 years, helping clients work through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, stress, family challenges, and women’s issues. I specialize in supporting people who feel stuck in painful memories, overwhelmed by anxiety, or disconnected from themselves after difficult life experiences. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and deeply respectful of each person’s story. I believe healing often involves more than traditional talk therapy, which is why I incorporate approaches that support the mind, body, and spirit. I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and I use EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment-based therapy, interpersonal therapy, and other trauma-informed approaches to help clients move toward relief and healing. When we work together, you can expect a caring space where you are accepted as you are and supported at a pace that feels safe.

​I support adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, and major life transitions. I have a special interest in working with women through the transition into motherhood, including fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum, and the evolving identity that comes with this new chapter of life. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I help clients develop meaningful tools, gain clarity, and move through change with greater steadiness and self-compassion.

I offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

I believe therapy should feel safe, empowering and collaborative. I approach each client with compassion, curiosity and respect for their lived experience. In our work together, you can expect honesty, encouragement and practical tools you can apply outside of sessions.

Hi there! I have been a therapist for about 25 years (MSW- Western Michigan University). I feel grateful to have such meaningful work and honored to walk alongside such a variety of people on their journeys. My clients have described me as irreverent, honest, and caring.

Many folks come to therapy in times of crisis and others come because they are looking for a neutral place to talk and process a wide range of life experiences including trauma, anxiety/depression, substance concerns, and relationship issues.

In my non-work hours you'd find me spending time with my elementary age kiddo and our dog, listening to live music, swimming in Lake Michigan, or finishing up a good jigsaw puzzle!

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and mom of four with a passion for helping people feel balanced, understood, and supported. I earned my nursing degree from Chamberlain University in Chicago and completed my psychiatric graduate training at the University of Kentucky. I’ve been proudly serving patients as a PMHNP since 2022.

I provide care for children (6+), teens, and adults, including parents, professionals, students, and anyone navigating life transitions or emotional challenges. My focus areas include: ADHD, anxiety & panic, depression, bipolar disorders, trauma & PTSD, emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, sleep issues, and mood and behavior concerns in children/teens.

I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.
