Grief counselors and therapists in Troy, MI

With over 30 years experience, I provide specialized, outcome-focused virtual therapy, across Michigan and Washington, tailored for individuals navigating high everyday stress, burnout, life transitions, and complex health challenges—including chronic illness, brain injuries, and caregiving. My practice operates entirely via secure telehealth during daytime weekday hours, delivering practical, structured relief through a blend of CBT, solution-focused framework, and body-based somatic tools. Because a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to your progress, I request all prospective clients schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation first to ensure we are an ideal clinical fit before booking a full initial session. To make the process smooth and transparent, Headway will instantly verify your insurance so you can see any anticipated co-pay before you schedule our call.

I believe that the stories we tell ourselves about who we are hold incredible power—and that sometimes, the most courageous thing we can do is rewrite those stories with a pen dipped in kindness. My work is deeply rooted in mindfulness and self-compassion frameworks. I don't view therapy as a process of 'fixing' what is broken, but rather as an invitation to meet yourself right where you are. cultivate a genuine, lasting friendship with yourself.

I have had the honor of working in the health system for since 2017 supporting those going through major life changes. I have experience working with grief and loss, trauma, depression and anxiety, new diagnosis or chronic illnesses, life transitions, and relational stressors. Additionally, I have been providing therapy since 2023 working closely with clients to provide a space where they feel valued, supported, and listened to while working towards a better mental health.

Finding a therapist that is the right fit for you can be daunting. I provide a non-judgmental space for you to be who you are and safely process your hardships. Life can be messy, embarrassing, hurtful and lonely. I'm here to work through it with you. I encourage all of the people I work with to understand that if nothing changes, nothing changes.

I have experience working with adults and teens. The biggest indicator of success in therapy is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. However, I work hard to stay up to date with treatment modalities to support a variety of mental health issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and codependency.

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.

I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience. I work primarily with teens, young adults and women who are struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, grief, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Seeking support can be difficult, and I recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy.

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.
