Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Ann Arbor, MI covered by Cigna

I value honesty and effort. We work as a team to help you realize your full potential. Growth isn’t measured by success but by effort and consistency.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a University of Michigan graduate, and my

area of expertise is co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Over the course of

my career, I have worked with individuals navigating addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and

the complex challenges that arise when these conditions intersect. I believe that healing

happens in a space where you feel genuinely safe and understood, and I am committed to

providing exactly that. I would love to work alongside you as you move toward the life you

deserve.

Hi, I'm Heather Johnson, a faith centered Christian therapist passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where healing, growth, and restoration can take place. I have over 5 years of experience and my approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, grace and meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey. I work with individuals and families to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting emotional wellness. Guided by the belief that healing and restoration are possible through faith, hope and connection, I strive to reflect God's love by offering a space of understanding, encouragement, and support. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, clarity, and peace.

As a licensed master social worker and board-certified chaplain, I believe prioritizing mental health and spiritual care is key to whole health and total well-being and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever make, so congratulations on taking that first step! My current focus is working with clients dealing with substance abuse, mental health, and marriage and family issues.

My approach to therapy is to help you uncover what is blocking you from living your life to the fullest. I do not believe I hold all the answers; rather, I will assist you in discovering the answers to the problems you are facing through our counseling services. We will work together to find the best solutions to what is troubling you. I sincerely believe in listening to you fully and not judging you for how you feel or think.

Welcome! I'm Grace.

As a clinical social worker, I am passionate about helping people recognize the strengths they may not always see in themselves. Life can bring challenges that leave us feeling stuck, discouraged, or uncertain. Whether you're struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, or past experiences, you don't have to navigate those challenges alone.

I'm Kalyn — a licensed therapist (LMSW) with 9 years of experience and a background that started in community organizing and advocacy, not a clinic. That foundation shapes everything about how I work: I take your whole context seriously, not just your symptoms. I went to the University of Michigan for my MSW, and I've spent nearly a decade working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, grief, identity, and the kind of stress that doesn't show up in a checklist.I work with adults across Michigan via virtual sessions, and I want you to know that I bring my full self to this work — including my own lived experience as a Black woman navigating a world that doesn't always make space for us to fall apart or ask for help.

I offer a judgment-free space where we can work together toward your mental health goals. In our work, we will not just talk through the problems, concerns, or challenges bringing you to therapy. We will also focus on practical tools that can help change how you experience those situations and support you in moving toward a healthier version of yourself. I use a blend of evidence-based treatment approaches that I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals.

I earned my LMSW from Grand Valley State University and have 17 years of experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including outpatient care, the emergency department, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization, along with many other levels of care in between. My additional training includes trauma-informed care, suicide risk assessment and safety planning, and DBT. Clients can expect me to meet them where they are while being empowering, transparent, direct, and focused on helping them reach their treatment goals.

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a deputy sheriff, firefighter, EMT, 911 dispatcher, and U.S. Navy Reserve member. That background shapes how I show up in sessions: direct, practical, and without judgment. I pursued counseling because I found I was genuinely good at helping people feel better, and I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, and difficult life decisions. If you have been waiting to talk to someone, I am glad you are here.

I've been a listener my whole life — since I was a teenager, long before I had any clinical training, I learned that the most powerful thing one person can do for another is to genuinely pay attention. That hasn't changed. What has changed is that now I have the tools, training, and experience to help that attention lead somewhere. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I work with individuals, families, couples, and children — and I see clients across the state through telehealth. I'm trained in a range of approaches including CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bowen Family Systems, which means I can adapt to what actually fits you — not just apply a template. I'm also comfortable holding faith and spirituality as part of your story if that's relevant for you. I'm not a "Christian therapist" in a prescriptive sense, but I've spent years working as a chaplain and I understand how much a person's spiritual framework shapes how they see themselves and the world. That's a welcome part of the conversation here.
