Hi, I’m Stacie! Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by life’s challenges? Perhaps you’re facing a significant transition, questioning your self-worth, or struggling to balance work, family, and personal responsibilities. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life changes, and career or academic stress. I also have a passion for supporting women through parenting challenges, trauma recovery, self-esteem issues, and relationship concerns. I blend evidence-based techniques with genuine empathy and strong communication skills. Our sessions are collaborative and tailored to you. We’ll work together to identify what’s holding you back, build practical coping tools, and uncover strengths you might not even realize you have. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported as you work toward healing and growth. Therapy isn’t just about talking; it’s about feeling truly seen, heard, and empowered to make real changes. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can process, gain insight, and move forward with confidence.

Life can feel overwhelming—whether you're a parent, new mom, educator, or simply going through a tough season. You might be facing anxiety, postpartum struggles, burnout, infertility, or challenges with your child’s school experience, like IEPs or behavioral concerns. I work with teens, adults, and families navigating stress, parenting, transitions, or the complexities of adoption. Therapy can be a space to reflect, heal, and reconnect with yourself. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just be willing to start. You’ll find a safe, supportive space to feel validated and build skills like emotional regulation, coping, and communication. I use a compassionate, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, drawing on CBT and my 27 years of experience supporting teens and families. I will meet with you right where you are at and help you grow and heal from there. I really care about people and the stories they carry. Life can be messy, and therapy gives you space to talk it through, feel heard, and sort things out. We'll work together in a way that feels supportive and real—so you can better understand yourself, feel more like you, and start to move forward.

We can manage your prescription and medications. Our Care Philosophy: I believe the best care comes from building a strong partnership with my patients. I take time to listen closely to each person’s story, value their input, and work with them to create a treatment plan that fits their goals and lifestyle. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on empowering patients to take an active role in their mental health. I explain treatment options clearly, answer questions in plain language, and encourage open communication so patients feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. I also believe in meeting patients where they are—whether that means adjusting care to match their pace or providing extra education and resources to help them feel confident. Above all, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a safe and respectful environment where patients feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey toward healing and wellness.

Ready to unf#ck your nervous system? Let’s be completely real, you can’t think your way out of a survival response. If analyzing your childhood or making endless coping-skill lists worked, you wouldn't be reading this right now. Numbing out, doom-scrolling, or pushing through the exhaustion makes complete sense, until it doesn't.I don't do standard talk therapy. I don't sit silently while you vent for 50 minutes just to tell you to breathe. At The Unfiltered Couch Counseling, we go straight to the root, in your body. When you are stuck in constant survival mode, chronic illness flares up, burnout takes over, and your brain feels constantly foggy. Using specialized somatic approaches like Brainspotting, EMDR, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), we target where stress and trauma are physically trapped in your nervous system. We clear out the heavy, physical weight in your chest and stomach so your body finally gets the memo that the danger is over.If you are ready for raw honesty, deep somatic shifts, and a therapist who actually curses back, you’re in the right place. Let's get your system back online.

Hello my name is Maureen, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of psychotherapy experience, and everyone is welcome in my practice. I live in Lapeer County, Michigan and have strong ties to Detroit and surrounding area. My therapy practice is via telehealth. I’ve worked with people who have had a wide range of challenges and who needed the help of a compassionate and skilled therapist. Because of my many years of working with a very diverse population of people, I’ve been able to create a very eclectic style that I believe takes the best of each therapy model and am able to create a very tailored treatment for each person who allows me to help them on their journey. I help people to recognize and utilize their strengths and believe that people have the best answers for themselves and need to learn how to find them and use them for their continued growth. I love using interventions that combine supportive and goal directed strategies as well as focusing on the mind-body connection. My favorite form of therapy is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I’m also trained in Attachment Therapy, EMDR, CBT and many others. I’ve always invested a lot of time and energy into improving my skills for the benefit of my clients, so I frequently attend continuing education seminars and conferences. I’m an Open Path provider (for people who need to pay based on their ability to afford it). I'm also a Give an Hour provider and donate pro-bono services for our military, veterans and their families. I value the opportunity to help everyone get the therapy that they need.

***I am currently accepting new clients to begin therapy on or after 8/10/26*** I strive to create a warm, collaborative, & accountable space in the therapy room. I believe in showing up as authentically as possible so YOU can feel comfortable expressing & exploring your full self. I’ve worked for 7 years with college students, young & older adults who are navigating life’s next steps, whatever those may be. I particularly enjoy helping those who consider themselves overachievers or intellectualizers to slow down & release the stress & anxiety they’ve been carrying around for so long. With me, this often looks like exploring early life experiences that may still be impacting you today. I’ve worked primarily with queer-identified clients from various backgrounds & consider myself radically pro-transgender. Whether you want to explore identity, or you just need a safe place where you don’t need to teach someone about your identities, you can find that here. Please don’t hesitate to email me or call our office! I’m happy to schedule a free 15-minute consultation video or phone call. I do not utilize AI in any part of my treatment or documentation process. As a doctoral temporary limited licensed psychologist, I practice under the supervision of Dr. Julie Meredith Davis, a fully licensed psychologist.

Are things hard right now and you feel like you are barely treading water, or not coping as you would like? Well, I am here to wade through it with you, and help you to adapt, heal, grow, and reclaim your life so you can thrive, not just survive. Typically, my clients are adults and career professionals that struggle with a variety of issues including anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, life stressors , personal growth and more. Most seek out therapy because either something big happened and it knocked them completely off balance, or a lot of little things have built up and their ability to cope and manage life has decreased. Sometimes both. They come to me feeling anxious, sad, overwhelmed, or on edge. They may not be sleeping well, may be having relationship or school difficulties or are dealing with some kind of loss or even struggling with their medical health or have a fear or phobia. There may be a history of abuse or trauma. Or, they may simply feel stuck, uninspired, or alone and just not where they want to be in life. Yet, no matter what happened or where my clients are in their journey, I am here to empower them and help them get back on track, or in some cases, start a new path, Simply, put, I am here to support you in the process of getting, and feeling, better. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and clinical supervisor with 15 years of experience I combine authentic, relatable, down-to-earth, and compassionate care with a focus on the whole self that puts you back in control of life. While you are doing the hard work, I am your guide, teacher, listening ear, coach and support. I will push you to do, and be, better, but also be your soft place to land. I focus first on building a therapeutic foundation of safety, trust, teamwork and connection, knowing that without a good fit, therapy doesn't work. We will work together to find the right techniques and approaches that fit you and your situation best. This gives you personalized, strength-based, and holistic care where you get to be heard and express yourself, learn about (and work through) your issues, develop new skills, and create healthier habits in order to achieve better life balance and wellness. So, when you are ready to take the next step, contact me to schedule your initial appointment. My office is your safe place to breathe, heal, and grow. So kick off your shoes, get comfortable, and let’s work together to get you back in control of your life and clean out the emotional clutter. I look forward to chatting with you soon.

Asking for help can feel like failure. But it’s actually the smartest thing you can do. You’re at a rigorous university. You’re surrounded by smart, accomplished people. Everyone seems to have it together: classes, social life, and future plans despite all the pressure. Except you’re in your room at 2 AM and your anxiety is spiraling. Or you’re making a decision that feels impossibly huge and you have no idea which way to turn. Or you’re just… exhausted. The problem isn’t that you’re not capable. The problem is you’re trying to figure out who you actually are while everyone expects you to have it all figured out. That’s where I come in. I’m Debbie Miller, a therapist who gets college students. I spent 25 years in Ann Arbor and worked extensively with University of Michigan students. I know the academic pressure, the social dynamics, the Greek life culture, the competitive environment. I still work with Michigan students via telehealth, and I genuinely understand what it’s like to be where you are. I work with students who feel overwhelmed by pressure, confused about their future, struggling with anxiety or depression, or navigating major transitions. Students who know something needs to shift but aren’t sure how. Here’s the approach: We work together to help you become an expert on yourself. We’re a team. My job isn’t to tell you what to do, it’s to ask the right questions so you hear your own voice clearly. To challenge you on beliefs that hold you back. To help you figure out what actually matters to you (not what you think should matter). This isn’t always comfortable, but discomfort is usually a sign that real growth is happening. Your pace, your direction. That’s the deal. Ready to talk? Call or email me to schedule your free consultation.

Hi, I'm so glad you decided to ask for help! You probably experience lots of stress, between work and school, and other life commitments. You may even be questioning personal things about yourself, now that you're out on your own - what kind of person you are, what kind of body image you have or want to have, sexuality and gender concerns, making friends, or managing home/school/life balance. I would love to help you become more of who you want to be, and live a happier, more carefree lifestyle.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to balance school, work, relationships, family expectations, or figuring out what is next. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what's on your mind. Together, we'll work on understanding what you are going through, managing stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions, and building practical skills to help you feel more confident and grounded. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, identity, and major life changes like college, starting a career, or simply learning how to navigate adulthood. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or coming back after a break, my goal is to make the experience feel welcoming, collaborative, and helpful. I currently offer virtual therapy sessions for Michigan residents.
