Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


Hi! I am Chardae Korhonen (She/Her) a licensed clinical social worker and relational therapist.

If you're here, I'm guessing something isn't sitting quite right. Maybe you're stuck in the same relationship patterns, overthinking every conversation you've ever had, feeling disconnected from yourself, navigating hormonal changes (PMS/PMDD, Perimenopause or Menopause) healing from trauma, or just tired of feeling like you're surviving instead of actually living. Whatever brought you here, I'm really glad you found your way.

Hello, my name is Thamreen, and welcome to Tufts and Tulips Therapy! I’m so glad you’ve taken this important first step toward exploring therapy. I understand how overwhelming it can feel, but I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over ten years of experience as a clinical social worker, I’ve had the honor of supporting people who, like you, were unsure or nervous about starting therapy—and together, from tufts to tulips, we’ve created real and lasting change.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in hospitals, EAPs, crisis lines, and community mental health settings, offering care to veterans, people experiencing homelessness, refugees, company executives, youth, the elderly, and everyone in between. Whether you’re an individual, couple, or family, I welcome clients of all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, ages 17 and up. Kindness, empathy, and respect are the foundation of my work, and I strive to make sure you feel seen, heard, and valued from day one.
