Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Jackson, MI

Therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. I assist couples and families with communication and relationship challenges. I do this rooted in honesty, compassion, and practical support.

I've been a therapist since 2015 and have worked with all kinds of people, from those facing homelessness in Detroit to curious five-year-olds learning about their feelings. I’m trained in Gottman Couples Therapy, have training in infertility mental health both in the US and abroad, and am working toward a perinatal mental health certification. I like to mix proven methods with warmth and a good sense of humor, so you'll always feel at ease. Helping you find your own strength and grow is what inspires me, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

We all face challenging feelings, these feelings are normal; however, sometimes we need to develop the right tools to deal with them in a healthy way. I have a passion for mental health and supporting those on their journey to wellness. I integrate mental, physical, and spiritual health to help clients achieve overall wellness.

Hi there! It's so nice to meet you.

I have been a therapist for 6 years and whether this is your first time trying therapy or not, it can feel difficult. Acknowledging you need help is one thing and seeking help is another so I'm glad you're here!

I’m Rasha, a licensed therapist with over eight years of experience in mental health, public health, and program leadership. My background includes working with adolescents, adults, and families across school-based, community, and clinical settings. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and concerns related to racial and ethnic identity.

My work is grounded in both clinical expertise and real-world understanding of how systemic stressors, culture, and environment impact mental health. I have extensive experience helping clients who appear high-functioning externally but feel overwhelmed, emotionally taxed, or disconnected internally.

Clients should know that I am direct, thoughtful, and deeply invested in meaningful growth. I will support you — but I will also challenge you when necessary. Therapy with me is not passive; it is intentional, reflective, and focused on helping you build sustainable change.

Over years, I have had the opportunity to work in several settings, including juvenile justice, family reunification, community case management, adult inpatient mental health, & transitional care. Because of this I come with different insight into the issues that may be affecting you. Therapeutic support can improve your mental health for the better. I am letting you know you are not alone in the need for support. Let me help you identify, clarify & meet your goals for better quality of life
