Hello! I'm MaryAnn. I work with adults (18+) experiencing mood, stressor, and/or trauma related challenges. Many of my clients seek therapy to explore their identities & patterns, navigate relationship dynamics, and reprocess disturbing memories. Whatever your reason, therapy is a brave space to get to know your parts and ultimately connect with your inherent wholeness. As a mom, daughter, sister, spouse, & friend, I have navigated - and am navigating - many of these stages myself. My professional roles have ranged from inpatient psychiatry to community settings. I remain committed to tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual I work with. By integrating EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapies, I establish a therapy space that is curious, compassionate, and evidence-based. I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they cultivate insight & empowerment in their lives. Together, we can design a vision for a fulfilling present and future. I would love to hear from you to see if we are a good fit!

Now accepting new clients. Stress and trauma come in a variety of shapes and sizes so therapy is not one size fits all and should adapt to the needs of you. I am an LMSW providing individual therapy to young adults and adults. I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders and/or substance abuse. Individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, and facing personal and relationship problems, legal issues and school/work related difficulties deserve clinical flexibility as it is key to excellent therapy. You don’t have to figure life and hardships alone; let’s work together. I offer a judgement free space. Call me for a free consultation so we can see if I would be a good fit for you. And if not me, I will help point you to the providers and resources who can be of service to you.

I consider the relationship between client and therapist one of the most important factors in therapy. As a therapist, my goal is to create a comfortable, non-judgmental space so I can assist others in exploring negative patterns in their lives and help them develop new tools to foster positive coping skills. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy, with special focus on the body and mind and how they interact. As a registered yoga teacher, my treatment approach places emphasis on turning inward and reconnecting with the body to help release stored emotions. I use a trauma-informed approach to life issues with clients and incorporate mindfulness skills, somatic movement, and breathwork into my therapy practice. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, PTSD, and mood disorders. Additionally, I work with clients who are experiencing grief and loss, life transitions, addiction, caregiver stress, interpersonal/relationship problems, and codependency.

Hello, My name is Dalyn Pacheco-Smith. I received my degrees from University of Hawai’i at Mānoa and University of San Francisco. At the University of San Francisco, I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy. Working with and supporting the well-being of college students, both undergraduate and graduate, is a passion that I have worked toward and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. In college, there are so many experiences, feelings, emotions, events, and stressors that occur. I strive to create a comfortable, attentive, and empathetic space for you to process these things. I use a holistic and client-centered approach. My focus is on establishing rapport, creating goals and visions you have for yourself, as well as building insight and helping you manage stressors. My purpose is to assist you in facilitating your own change and highlight your strengths to promote growth, well-being, and healing.

As human beings, we are in a constant state of transition and emergence into new selves. Meaning, just as we defined ourselves in the past, we can also choose to redefine ourselves now and in the future. No matter how you would like to begin your story, I am here to help you piece the puzzle together and walk with you on this journey of self-healing. I specialize in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) – the particular women’s issue that doesn’t get enough spotlight. The symptoms that you experience may be silent, but you are not alone. I am here to help you combat this silent mental health complications. Additionally, I really enjoy supporting youth and adults navigating life changes, family issues, and identity exploration. Therapy can be an intimidating step in your life! I am here to offer a safe place and a solid ground to unravel what's been chaotic and tangled.

*I’m a therapist at Lotus Consulting, a group private practice located in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. I offer therapy via telehealth only. Welcome! My name is Zena and I specialize in working with anxiety, self-esteem, interpersonal concerns, and life challenges/adjustments. I have a MA in counseling and a BS in psychology and over five years working as a therapist in various outpatient settings. My approach to therapy is integrative; I work from a client-centered/humanistic lens incorporating elements of psychodynamic, existential, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused. Therapy is collaborative, there is no one size fits all approach to therapy, therefore I tailor my approach based on the needs of the individual. I believe the most important element of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, therefore I aim to be open-minded and authentic in the therapy room. My goal is to help clients gain insight by providing a safe, non-judgemental environment that fosters acceptance while also encouraging clients to work toward their goals (e.g. balancing acceptance with change). My ideal client is someone who is curious, open-minded, and willing to explore new prescriptives and how past experiences might be impacting how we currently engage with ourselves, others, and in the world. Many of my clients report increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, and ability to understand, accept, and regulate their internal experiences. When I am not providing therapy, I enjoy being in nature/hiking, spending time with my family and cats, and watching horror movies.

My hope for clients is to not merely function but to thrive! I don't want you to forgive and forget your traumas. I want you to own them and break the shame that keeps you shut down. Other people may have left you in some dark places, but you have the power to get yourself out. You deserve to have a life worth living, even in the moments you struggle to believe it. I've dedicated my career to trauma and grief therapy working with hundreds of clients and trauma professionals in a multitude of settings; from coordinating trauma programs at psychiatric hospitals to consulting with various community mental health agencies, groups, and practices.

Being a therapist in a large college community has provided me many opportunities to help students adjust to the challenges of academic life.

You’re tired of: - Overthinking - Feeling overwhelmed - A heightened sense of worry - Your mental energy being depleted - Thinking about the worst case scenario - Being critical of yourself - All-or-nothing thinking - Feeling like an imposter - Worrying about disappointing others - Avoiding things that make you anxious - Comparing yourself to others - Unsubstantiated fear - Procrastinating - Being unable to set boundaries - Having difficulty identifying or communicating what you need - Feeling like you “should” be doing certain things, even if you don’t want to - Neglecting self-care You have a simmering undercurrent of anxiety, and your entire life feels like a list of obligations. You feel weighed down, overwhelmed, and stressed. You’re pathologically helpful and a self-proclaimed people pleaser, so you find yourself gritting your teeth to make it through the day……but you paste a smile on your face and fake it. From the outside you’re successful, high-achieving, respected, and known for going above and beyond, but internally, you know your truth. You’re overly self-critical, procrastinate often, script conversations in your head, and worry about everyone else’s expectations of you. What if you could feel confident saying no to things that don’t serve you? What if you could learn how to put yourself first without feeling selfish? What if you could live a more balanced, intentional, and fulfilling life? Let me help you get clarity on what you’re feeling, why, and how to fix it. We all have “blind spots” that hold us back in some way, and it takes an outside perspective to help identify these. Even if you think… - you’ll let others down - you’re not as smart or capable as your colleagues - you need to have a clear plan - mediocrity is unacceptable - you have to maintain this facade in order to be successful I will show you how to shift your thoughts and behavior in ways that will pave a clear path to joy and confidence. There is no greater investment in life than discovering your full potential, and that comes through insight and self-awareness.

Sometimes the world we live in can feel intensely overwhelming and our everyday lives can seem particularly challenging to navigate. If you’re feeling lost, I assure you, it’s a perfectly normal part of the human experience. Reaching out and searching for help is an excellent step to find your way forward through whatever you’re facing, whether that’s a recent loss, the pressures of a new school or job, or even difficult family relationships. Therapy can give us so many gifts: the space to process our experience, skills to ease challenging situations, and even deeper insight into our own unique sense of the world.

You feel exhausted from running in circles. You try so hard, but you still can’t shake the feeling. You over-schedule, overcommit, and always keep yourself busy. You listen to podcasts about stress and time management, but still have a hard time relaxing and having fun because your brain won’t shut off. You haven’t had a good night’s sleep in ages, and you never feel rested. Maybe you … • Can’t stop thinking about an incident or situation—to the point where it’s hard to focus when usually you are on top of everything. • Watch yourself overreact to people and situations, but you don’t know how to stop it. • Zone out and feel like you’re watching yourself from afar at a meeting or social event. Or maybe you lose hours at a time binging Netflix or getting lost in games or social media on your phone. • Spend a lot of time worry about other people’s behavior, motivation, and what they might be thinking about you. Say “yes” even when you don’t want to. • Know that you have so much more potential, but end up feeling exhausted and can’t shake the feeling that no matter what you do, you’ll never be “good enough. I’m here to support you with empathy, compassion and expertise. I specialize in supporting busy professionals, healthcare workers, and helpers of all kinds who have it within them to work through their pain and heal their wounds but need some help getting there. I’m a certified EMDR therapist who has over 20 years experience as a clinical social worker. My advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (a somatic approach), and Internal Family Systems (“parts work”) means I have the expertise you need and deserve. I also have a background in improv and theater, so we may even find ourselves having fun along the way! Therapy doesn’t need to be all tears. My clients describe me as warm, collaborative, supportive, creative and nonjudgmental. Through my work with clients, I have learned that “words are not enough” and that therapy modalities that address suffering from a “bottom up” perspective have long-lasting, permanent results. Therapy approaches that focus primarily on coping skills and talk therapy to gain insight can sometimes leave you feeling frustrated, because no matter how much you try to talk and think your way into feeling better, it can only take you so far. You may intellectually understand your issues, but you still feel like there’s a disconnect between head and heart. My clients are looking for deeper change. My approach integrates EMDR with attachment-focused therapies such as IFS (Internal Family Systems) and body-focused psychotherapies such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, along with talk therapy, so that every step we take together is tailored to healing that includes both mind and body and helps you get to the root of issues so can start to feel like yourself again. My goal is to empower you in every step of the process. Together, we’ll identify the difficult experiences that are causing you to feel stuck and we’ll create a roadmap so that you’ll know how to achieve your goals. We’ll focus on your strengths and build on your resources with practical mind-body tools that really work for you. We’ll work on transforming old wounds that are causing distress so they no longer keep you stuck in old patterns and unhelpful beliefs. By the end of our time together, you will know that even when life gets tough—which it inevitably will!—you will meet future challenges with self-compassion and resilience.
