I provide deep, effective counseling that goes beyond traditional talk therapy to help you resolve the root of the issue. I specialize in supporting those in high stress or high performing careers, college and graduate students and couples. We live in a world of stress and anxiety, where burn-out and relationship challenges can make you feel overwhelmed, hopeless and unsure where to turn. Healing, peace and life satisfaction is possible. Using my advanced post-graduate training, I can help you heal from past experiences and trauma. This starts the process of alleviating your current emotional distress and breaking stuck patterns.

Mental health issues are often most noticeable in our relationships. Clients I work with tend to experience anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and self-esteem issues that feel especially present when they are with others. This can impact your dating life, your ability to find and maintain friendships, and your satisfaction in longer term romantic and familial relationships. I help clients identify painful patterns in their lives, then dig deeper to understand where they are coming from. After working together, clients feel more in control of their emotions and relationships, which leads to a greater sense of calm in their lives.

Now accepting new clients. Stress and trauma come in a variety of shapes and sizes so therapy is not one size fits all and should adapt to the needs of you. I am an LMSW providing individual therapy to young adults and adults. I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders and/or substance abuse. Individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, and facing personal and relationship problems, legal issues and school/work related difficulties deserve clinical flexibility as it is key to excellent therapy. You don’t have to figure life and hardships alone; let’s work together. I offer a judgement free space. Call me for a free consultation so we can see if I would be a good fit for you. And if not me, I will help point you to the providers and resources who can be of service to you.

I have been working with students for over 30 years. I provide psychotherapy to college student and adult populations in an atmosphere of warmth and collaboration. Together we can work on a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationships issues. Whether you are going through a transition in your personal or professional life or are feeling stuck in some aspect of your life, career, or relationship, I look forward to working together.

I work with non-linear thinkers who are searching for a therapist with intuitive wisdom who cherishes the divergent path. I specializes in connecting with ADHDers who have always felt different even if others couldn't tell. My clients are notoriously curious and adept improvisors, who are playfully creative, but they still feel perpetually out-of-sync with the world around them. They charm others with their insight and levity, and save the biting criticisms for themselves. So they end up feeling like anxious imposters, waiting to be exposed. Acquiescing to others has helped you get by without too many catastrophes, but deep down you can't keep convincing yourself that you're okay with just getting by. There's a deeper itch that's beckoning you into an alternative way of being. Yes, still different, but personal, integrated, aligned with your soul. I approach therapy as the life-changing work that it is, and while there's a serious commitment to exploring one's psyche, it doesn't mean you or I are required to take ourselves too seriously. Excavating one's own lived experience and the difficulty of navigating a world not built for you is not for the faint of heart, yet we continue to be curious, adapt, and play. I am intentional in creating and holding space for clients to find and share a more authentic version of themselves. Clients are well-met when they bring curiosity about their distinct approach to life, courage to speak what has been left unsaid, and compassion to nurture a deeper truth about themselves.

As therapists, we offer therapy in a non-judgmental, safe and confidential environment. We provide a space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their concerns so that we can work together to gain insight on life's stresses and struggles. We collaborate with clients to develop effective coping mechanisms, process through life experiences, and accomplish personal goals. Our clinical background includes therapy with individual, couples, and families related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger management, and grief and loss concerns. We believe therapy can be a tool to help move clients toward a more balanced life. We draw from a variety of frameworks with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using a strengths-based and empowerment approach. We have specialized training in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, EMDR, and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics.

You’re tired of: - Overthinking - Feeling overwhelmed - A heightened sense of worry - Your mental energy being depleted - Thinking about the worst case scenario - Being critical of yourself - All-or-nothing thinking - Feeling like an imposter - Worrying about disappointing others - Avoiding things that make you anxious - Comparing yourself to others - Unsubstantiated fear - Procrastinating - Being unable to set boundaries - Having difficulty identifying or communicating what you need - Feeling like you “should” be doing certain things, even if you don’t want to - Neglecting self-care You have a simmering undercurrent of anxiety, and your entire life feels like a list of obligations. You feel weighed down, overwhelmed, and stressed. You’re pathologically helpful and a self-proclaimed people pleaser, so you find yourself gritting your teeth to make it through the day……but you paste a smile on your face and fake it. From the outside you’re successful, high-achieving, respected, and known for going above and beyond, but internally, you know your truth. You’re overly self-critical, procrastinate often, script conversations in your head, and worry about everyone else’s expectations of you. What if you could feel confident saying no to things that don’t serve you? What if you could learn how to put yourself first without feeling selfish? What if you could live a more balanced, intentional, and fulfilling life? Let me help you get clarity on what you’re feeling, why, and how to fix it. We all have “blind spots” that hold us back in some way, and it takes an outside perspective to help identify these. Even if you think… - you’ll let others down - you’re not as smart or capable as your colleagues - you need to have a clear plan - mediocrity is unacceptable - you have to maintain this facade in order to be successful I will show you how to shift your thoughts and behavior in ways that will pave a clear path to joy and confidence. There is no greater investment in life than discovering your full potential, and that comes through insight and self-awareness.

Sometimes the world we live in can feel intensely overwhelming and our everyday lives can seem particularly challenging to navigate. If you’re feeling lost, I assure you, it’s a perfectly normal part of the human experience. Reaching out and searching for help is an excellent step to find your way forward through whatever you’re facing, whether that’s a recent loss, the pressures of a new school or job, or even difficult family relationships. Therapy can give us so many gifts: the space to process our experience, skills to ease challenging situations, and even deeper insight into our own unique sense of the world.

*I’m a therapist at Lotus Consulting, a group private practice located in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. I offer therapy via telehealth only. Welcome! My name is Zena and I specialize in working with anxiety, self-esteem, interpersonal concerns, and life challenges/adjustments. I have a MA in counseling and a BS in psychology and over five years working as a therapist in various outpatient settings. My approach to therapy is integrative; I work from a client-centered/humanistic lens incorporating elements of psychodynamic, existential, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused. Therapy is collaborative, there is no one size fits all approach to therapy, therefore I tailor my approach based on the needs of the individual. I believe the most important element of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, therefore I aim to be open-minded and authentic in the therapy room. My goal is to help clients gain insight by providing a safe, non-judgemental environment that fosters acceptance while also encouraging clients to work toward their goals (e.g. balancing acceptance with change). My ideal client is someone who is curious, open-minded, and willing to explore new prescriptives and how past experiences might be impacting how we currently engage with ourselves, others, and in the world. Many of my clients report increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, and ability to understand, accept, and regulate their internal experiences. When I am not providing therapy, I enjoy being in nature/hiking, spending time with my family and cats, and watching horror movies.

Being a therapist in a large college community has provided me many opportunities to help students adjust to the challenges of academic life. It seems something always comes up and throws you off your square. I hope I can help you navigate student life either academic related, relationships. loneliness,

Being a therapist means being open, non-judgmental, supportive, informative, and humble. I realize that each individual is an expert in their own life, and I encourage individuals to develop their own goals based on their individualized needs. I specialize in working with individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, individuals struggling with a sense of secure attachment within relationships, and individuals with a history of self-harm and/or suicidal ideation. I also specialize in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, and relationship/family conflict. Therapy is most effective when individuals actively engage in their treatment, and I hope to be able to provide tools and coping mechanisms to help clients reach their goals.

My hope for clients is to not merely function but to thrive! I don't want you to forgive and forget your traumas. I want you to own them and break the shame that keeps you shut down. Other people may have left you in some dark places, but you have the power to get yourself out. You deserve to have a life worth living, even in the moments you struggle to believe it. I've dedicated my career to trauma and grief therapy working with hundreds of clients and trauma professionals in a multitude of settings; from coordinating trauma programs at psychiatric hospitals to consulting with various community mental health agencies, groups, and practices.
