Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Ypsilanti, MI

Hello, my name is Thamreen, and welcome to Tufts and Tulips Therapy! I’m so glad you’ve taken this important first step toward exploring therapy. I understand how overwhelming it can feel, but I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over ten years of experience as a clinical social worker, I’ve had the honor of supporting people who, like you, were unsure or nervous about starting therapy—and together, from tufts to tulips, we’ve created real and lasting change.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in hospitals, EAPs, crisis lines, and community mental health settings, offering care to veterans, people experiencing homelessness, refugees, company executives, youth, the elderly, and everyone in between. Whether you’re an individual, couple, or family, I welcome clients of all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, ages 17 and up. Kindness, empathy, and respect are the foundation of my work, and I strive to make sure you feel seen, heard, and valued from day one.

My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

I obtained by master's degree in 2023 from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, with over 20 years of experience working in the field of psychology. I earned a MS in Behavioral Psychology and a Psy.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University (formerly California School of Professional Psychology). Over the years I have had experience working with various populations with diverse psychological problems. I have expertise in working with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, substance use problems, grief/loss, and couples and family therapy. Within my work, I have experienced successful outcomes in improving people's lives both individually and relationally- within the most meaningful relationships in their lives.
