Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Ann Arbor, MI

Therapy that helps you feel more like yourself again. Many of my clients are the people others rely on. They are caregivers, professionals, business owners, parents, partners, and helpers who spend so much time taking care of everyone else that they lose connection with their own needs, emotions, and sense of self. On the outside, they may appear capable and high functioning. Internally, they often feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.

Shana decided at a young age that it was her life's purpose to speak for those that did not have a voice. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Olivet College in 2014 and her Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2016. Her primary specialty includes working with those with any kind of addiction. She also assists clients in working through life's problems, such as relationship issues, history of trauma, and occupational problems.

THE COOL, CALM, & COLLECTED COUNSELOR

I refer to myself as "City Made" and "Country Raised." I'm a native of Baltimore, Md and spent time in NC. I am now a resident of Detroit, Michigan.

I earned a B.A. in Psychology. My graduate education led to an M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I hold active licensures in Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina. My experience includes licensures as a Clinical Supervisor in Substance Use & Addictions and an Independently Licensed Professional Counselor.

As a therapist, I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, emotions, and goals. I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, co-occurring disorders, and emotional dysregulation. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which helps clients build skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

I understand that healing is not linear—and that every person’s story is unique. Whether you're facing overwhelming emotions, struggling with addiction and mental health challenges, or trying to make sense of past trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and clinical expertise.

Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

I received my Master's degree in Counseling from Barry University in Florida. Since I graduated, I have worked with a wide variety of populations, from severely emotionally disturbed children to adults experiencing addiction. I believe clients who are experiencing any disruption to their identity, whether that be the transition to adulthood, retirement, or even towards the end of life, are the clients I work best with. I am a firm advocate for creating safe spaces for any population that is critically underserved and have seen the positive outcomes that come from a client feeling seen and heard.
