Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Southfield, MI

You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported.

Life can bring challenges that leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or substance use concerns, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences, gain clarity, and create meaningful change.

As a Licensed Social Worker, I bring a diverse background working with individuals and families facing a wide range of life challenges. My approach to therapy is person-centered, compassionate, and holistic, recognizing that your experiences, strengths, and goals are uniquely your own.

Therapy is about you, your journey, and the life you want to create. Our work together moves at your pace, with an emphasis on building trust, strengthening self-esteem, developing healthy coping skills, and finding greater balance in your life. You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and be yourself.

I believe meaningful growth begins with connection. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical. It can be a genuine, down-to-earth conversation that helps you see things differently, recognize your strengths, and discover new possibilities. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered with greater insight and practical tools to move forward.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome here. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional well-being, and a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and true to you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's challenges. My work focuses on helping clients gain insight, build resilience, and growth. I have a passion for helping people navigate transitions , strengthen relationship, and improve their emotional well-being. I also have experience working with professionals managing stress, burn-out, and work-life balance.

Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA and MI. I believe in providing a non-judgmental space and personal connection to open up the opportunity for you to explore what's causing strain in your life: grief, anxiety, depression, past trauma, or other challenges. I offer practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

If you're feeling exhausted, anxious, weary, or down.. I believe there is a way to strengthen your sense of self, set realistic expectations and boundaries that value your needs, and bring yourself and your loved ones the best of you.

As a bilingual counselor who was born and raised in Panama and moved to the United States in 1992, I understand how culture, identity, and life transitions can shape a person’s emotional well-being. My own experiences, along with witnessing the personal and often isolating struggles within my community, inspired my commitment to helping people feel connected, supported, and empowered during challenging times.

I earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Human Services from the University of Indiana in 2011. My counseling style is proactive, compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensive. I work with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to better understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where your voice, values, and goals guide the work. Together, we will build on your strengths and help you reclaim a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and control in your life.

Life can be challenging, and in those moments we may lose touch with our true selves. Reaching out for support takes courage and is an important first step. With over 18 years of experience, my approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I work primarily with adults using an integrative approach that includes Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in creative and caregiving fields, helping them reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and find balance. I also work with adult children of caregivers who struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues such as Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Welcome! I’m Emily, the founder and sole clinician at North of Now Therapy. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, grief, infertility, and life transitions.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and hold a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Michigan.

Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including schools, community mental health clinics, and private practice. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate complex emotional and psychological challenges.

With 19 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor and 25 years as a Health Care Executive, I believe that taking care of your mental health is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself - it is the foundation from which everything else is built on. While getting here may not have been easy, I want you to know that I'm truly glad you are here.
