Therapist

As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

Hi! My name is Helen Roberts, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. I’ve been counseling children, teens, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years - but in my experience, that’s not really what you want to know. What you really want to know is, can I help you? And is there hope for things to change for you? As a matter of fact, there is, and I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to take that journey towards healing and empowerment with you. We can change the direction of your life right now and give you hope and power again!

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right fit matters. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful, therapy can be a place to slow down and better understand what’s going on.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. Clients often describe me as compassionate, down to earth, and easy to talk to. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and aligned with your goals.

Cynthia High-Gutierrez

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


You may look like you're holding everything together. But inside, you're exhausted.

Your mind won't slow down. You're replaying conversations, worrying about your child, trying to keep up with work and family, or wondering why things that used to feel manageable suddenly feel so difficult.

Maybe your child or teenager is struggling with anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, school, friendships, or changes at home—and you're not sure what else to try.

Or maybe you're the one everyone depends on, and you've become so focused on taking care of everyone else that you've stopped feeling like yourself.

You don't have to wait until things get worse to get support.

I'm Cynthia High-Gutierrez, LCSW, a bilingual English/Spanish therapist with more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD/neurodiversity, stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, women's issues, and major life transitions.

My background in public schools, school-based mental health, hospitals, and outpatient therapy gives me a unique perspective—especially when emotional health, family life, relationships, work, and school begin affecting one another.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
