Insurance Providers & Frequently Asked Questions
🌿 Getting Started
“Healing begins when you care for the younger version of yourself with compassion.”
How will I know if you are the right therapist?
The best way to find out is to meet for a session. Most clients know within the first few sessions whether we’re a good fit. We also offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if our approach aligns with your needs.
Do you provide in-person or online counseling?
All services are provided online through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform—offering the same confidentiality and connection as in-person sessions.
Is online counseling right for me?
Teletherapy works best for those with mild to moderate symptoms who are comfortable using technology and have a private space. It’s convenient, effective, and flexible—perfect for busy professionals and families.
Who do you work with?
We serve clients across Michigan, including professionals, entrepreneurs, couples, and individuals seeking emotional balance and growth. Our practice helps you rebuild connection, confidence, and inner peace.
What can I expect from therapy?
Therapy is a collaborative process centered on your personal goals. You can expect a safe, respectful space to explore challenges, gain insight, and learn tools to manage stress, relationships, and self-growth.
What happens during the first session?
The first session focuses on connection. We’ll discuss your background, goals, and what type of therapy feels right for you. Building trust and rapport is key—our goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and understood.
