Hi there! My name is Karissa and I am a Clinical Social Worker located in Michigan. My goal is to make you feel heard and understood - in order to help empower you to work through whatever struggle or stressor you may be dealing with. I come to you unrehearsed, with a non-judgmental, curious and genuine approach. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and your own needs. I am practical and straight-forward, while also demonstrating compassion. I am not afraid to laugh with you as we go through our therapeutic journey together. Your honesty, openness and willingness to be vulnerable will be beautiful components of this process together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 5 years of experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with many different areas of concern including: anxiety, depression, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, eating disorders, phobias, stress management, anger management, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, career counseling, substance abuse, academic problems, relationships, intimate partner violence, trauma, and grief. I am passionate about helping others reach their full potential by unlocking their own personal strengths. My main therapeutic approach is client-centered and I tailor each treatment modality for each unique individual. I often incorporate cognitive behavioral, dialectic behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness, solution-focused, and healthy lifestyle methods into my treatment plans. I enjoy working with all types of clients but I have a lot of experience and a strong passion for helping individuals who struggle with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and negative self-talk. Seeking support demonstrates a lot of strength and shows strong determination to change the things in life that you want to improve. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience with assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. My educational foundation include such theories as, family systems, psychodynamic, free association, and strength based concepts. The first ten years of my career focused on suicide assessment, and trauma treatment of children ages 4-17. Many of these children had severe mental illness and came from abusive homes, and from a diverse population all over the Detroit, MI area. I worked for many different community mental health agencies as well as school systems throughout this time. I wanted to join the Army after college, but was told by an Army recruiter that I would not pass the physical test due to a bad knee. After some time and investigation, I decided to join the Army as an Officer and Social Worker. The next ten years of my Active Duty career would focus on suicide risk assessment, and trauma treatment of Soldiers and their families. The military wanted a solution focused approach to treatment of Soldiers, and I would eventually adapt to this support using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concepts to treat nightmares and sleep. I was also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy as evidence based approach for PTSD treatment. My style is calm, collected, and perceptive. I have accurate empathy to offer, and practice with respect and dignity and privacy. I will go at your pace, but will not bullshit you about what needs to happen for change. Change comes through the relationship, and this is not the same as advice you can get from a friend. Social Work is a purpose for me, not just a job or means to some other end. I want to thank you all ahead of time for giving me the chance to know you, letting me into the most vulnerable places of your life!
