You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rediscover the person you were always meant to be. I believe true healing begins when we care for the whole person—not just the problem. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Clients may seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck and uncertain about their next steps. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen with intention, and support you as you work toward healing, growth, and wellness. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and positive change.
I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.
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.
I specialize in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse, neglect, dysfunctional family systems, PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), attachment wounds, disenfranchised grief (visit twodoveswellness.com for an explanation of this) and loss-related grief. I use an eclectic approach of various modalities with an emphasis on psychoeducation, somatic experiencing and Polyvagal theory. You will befriend your nervous system. I am an Attachment Trauma Treatment Specialist licensed in Michigan, Texas and Alabama. Together, we work to better understand how past experiences may still be impacting present-day emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults in Michigan, Texas and Alabama. Commercial Insurance and Private pay only.
Something often gets lost between what you're carrying and how you talk about it. For clients who find it easier in Spanish, or who want a therapist who works with mind and body together, that gap can feel especially wide. I'm Roxanna, a bilingual (Spanish/English) social worker in Michigan with an integrative, eclectic approach. I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationship strain, cultural and identity pressures, and more. Whether you speak English, Spanish, or move between both, all of you is welcome here. I would love to be that space.
"Hi there! I'm Sarah a compassionate therapist who’s passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I work with clients on a variety of issues, from anxiety and stress to relationship struggles and trauma, and I aim to create a comfortable space for open conversation. Together, we'll explore your unique situation and work toward meaningful change in a way that feels right for you."
You might look like you have it together, but internally you’re overthinking everything, overgiving in relationships, and second-guessing yourself constantly. Many of my clients learned early on to prioritize others’ emotions, and now feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of what they actually want. I help you understand these patterns and break out of them so you can feel more confident, grounded, and clear in your relationships.
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.
Hello. I would describe myself as being kind, caring and full of positive energy. I have 8years of experience working with substance abuse. I have 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I graduated with both my Bachelor's and Master's in Social Work from Wayne State University. I have experience working in schools with middle school and high school. My preference is to work with co-occurring disorders (mental health diagnosis and substance abuse diagnosis).
Hello, and welcome. My name is Jessica Banford, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker / Clinical Social Worker with experience providing support in both emergency and outpatient mental health settings. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and my professional background includes working in hospital emergency departments, where I have completed behavioral health assessments, crisis intervention, and care coordination for individuals experiencing acute mental health concerns. This experience has strengthened my ability to remain calm, supportive, and solution-focused during difficult moments. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, and life stressors such as relationship difficulties, financial stress, and transitions. I also worked a outpatient community health center providing therapy to all populations including all ages. I also have experience supporting adolescents and young adults, as well as collaborating with families and support systems. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based. I often incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing overall resilience. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported. I look forward to working together to help you reach your goals and improve your overall well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ann Arbor
Searching for therapists in Ann Arbor starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Ann Arbor therapists may work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach fit your needs. Profiles may mention therapy styles such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care, which can help you understand how each therapist works.
Ann Arbor is a smaller market, so nearby in-person therapy options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy with a Michigan-licensed therapist can expand your options while still giving you access to care from home. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Ann Arbor can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Ann Arbor, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
