Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Ypsilanti, MI covered by United Healthcare

I've been working in this field over 11 years. I received my masters degree in 2013 and have obtained multiple trainings and certifications since then to best help the clients I work with.

I have experience working in Community Mental Health and private practice along with working for the military.

I really enjoy helping the LGBTQIA+ community, working with other therapists, helping those with chronic issues including health, pain and life stressors. I love helping people live their best lives.

I'm Ali, a Registered Art Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri, Michigan, Ohio, and California! My practice predominately focuses on the issues unique to Millennials and Gen Z, including later in life neurodivergent diagnoses, healing from trauma, finding and maintaining secure connections/ relationships, being first persons in families to reject traditional paths, and navigating adulthood/ becoming secure in self in an uncertain future.

I both identify and work within the LGBTQIA+, kink, and non-traditional relationship communities. My practice is a not just a safe space. It is a place to readily meet challenge, growth, and self-understanding. My goal is help you achieve what you want for yourself, whatever that may look like within the context of you. Together we will find solutions, happies and crappies, some tears, successes, and healing.

I specialize in providing trauma focused therapy solutions for people of all ages. I've been working with children, individuals and families who have experienced abuse, neglect, loss and complex trauma for over a decade. I earned my Master of Social Work Degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where I graduated with honors. My relationship with my clients is built on the four pillars of healing: safety, trust, support and hope.

Career counseling focused on mental health in the workplace is my specialization. I help college students, job seekers and working professionals who are feeling burned out, anxious, or overwhelmed reconnect with their strengths and bring their best selves to work or school. Many of my clients juggle high expectations, relationship challenges at work or college, and ongoing stress—and feel stuck, frustrated, or held back by negative self-talk. Together, we work on recognizing these patterns, challenging self-imposed limitations, and building healthier, more confident ways of thinking.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and a National Board Certified Counselor with more than 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, groups and the criminal justice system.

My name is Ellen Hagerman and I have been a licensed social worker and substance abuse counselor for 17 years.

My full time career is at Lake Orion High School as a special education school social worker.

Other employment experiences include clinical social work within inpatient and outpatient settings. residential, and within the criminal justice system.

Hi, I’m Dr. Aja C. Burks and I'm a licensed therapist, educator, and speaker passionate about breaking the stigma around mental health, especially in communities that are often overlooked or underserved. I believe healing should be accessible, culturally responsive, and rooted in compassion.

Over the years, I’ve worked across school systems, community agencies, outpatient and inpatient settings, and in clinical supervision. I bring this diverse experience into every space I’m in, whether I’m supporting clients one-on-one, mentoring future counselors, or speaking to larger audiences about mental health, racial trauma, and the power of healing.

My heart is especially connected to supporting high-achieving individuals who are navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and the weight of expectations. I hold space for people to show up fully, with their brilliance and their pain, and guide them toward clarity, joy, and self-trust.

Through therapy, education, research, and community engagement, I aim to normalize mental wellness and empower others to prioritize themselves without guilt. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to walk alongside you.
