Being the victim of childhood trauma or narcissistic abuse can contribute to a wide range of physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms. It can also make it difficult for you to trust others and maintain healthy relationships. Trauma and abuse of this nature becomes stored in the body, and may result in you feeling triggered, and suffering from mood swings, depression, and perhaps even feelings of guilt or shame. I specialize in EMDR therapy to help you heal from trauma, narcissistic abuse, and the symptoms of depression and anxiety often associated with these conditions. I am certified in vagal toning and utilize a mind-body approach to healing that helps you identify where these triggers and emotions are felt in your body. I have 24 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. I am a licensed psychologist, neuropsychological expert, certified brain health coach, and trauma therapist. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), and I am trained in clinical hypnosis through the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). My professional background includes 12 years of clinical experience in the family court system and in shelters for battered women and children. I am a former team member of the Epilepsy Unit of the Department of Neuroscience and Behavioral Medicine at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. For a decade, I conducted forensic neuropsychological evaluations of inmates in prison and testified in court about my findings. As a researcher, I have spent decades studying the manner in which brainwave patterns impact our thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and I have extensive experience helping individuals achieve peak performance by optimizing their brain functioning. I am a published author and speaker on topics related to brain functioning. I have television and news experience and have been featured as a psychological expert on multiple local and national news networks including FOX News. As a client of mine, you will have access to all of my online courses, programs, eBooks, guided meditations, brainwave audios, and hypnosis audios. I created these resources to help you recover from trauma, condition your thoughts, eliminate depression and anxiety, and rewire your brain for success and happiness.

Hello, I’m Nedra, a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with a broad background in supporting clients across all stages of life. Over the years, I have helped individuals manage a variety of concerns, including chronic pain, addiction, behavioral challenges, depression, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, phobias, life transitions, and workplace stress. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to face their challenges and make lasting, meaningful changes. My work is grounded in a strong desire to help people connect with their inner strength and recognize the worth they already possess. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who are ready to engage in the therapeutic process, seek clarity, and move forward with support as they navigate life’s difficulties. I believe that healing and growth are possible for everyone, and I am here to walk alongside you through that journey. My approach centers on active listening, thoughtful insight, and genuine understanding. As a certified advanced mind-body medicine practitioner, I also incorporate holistic techniques that address both emotional and physical well-being. I see therapy as a collaborative process that unfolds with time, care, and trust. Together, we will work to build greater self-awareness, resilience, and joy in your life. I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your story.

I offer therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples who are tired of coping on the surface and want deeper, more lasting change. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, chronic anxiety, unresolved trauma, burnout, or a life that looks functional on the outside but feels disconnected on the inside. My approach is grounded, relational, and depth-oriented. I help clients not only manage symptoms but also understand the underlying patterns, beliefs, and emotional injuries that keep them from living with clarity, stability, and connection. My work integrates practical, evidence-based strategies with deeper exploration. Depending on a client’s needs, I may draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, attachment-focused work, and trauma-informed interventions. In sessions, I help clients build insight, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, process difficult experiences, and respond to life with more intention rather than reactivity. I believe meaningful therapy should be both honest and useful. It should help people make sense of their story while also giving them concrete ways to move forward. I often work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational distress, self-worth concerns, and major life transitions. I also have a strong interest in supporting first responders, crime survivors, and individuals who carry significant responsibility while silently struggling. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, tell the truth about what is not working, and begin building a life rooted in meaning, connection, and emotional steadiness. I would be honored to work with you on your journey towards healing.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I honor the courage it takes to be here. I work with women navigating trauma, chronic illness, CPTSD, and emotional overwhelm. My goal is to offer a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can exhale and feel truly seen. I believe healing happens in a trusting relationship, so we’ll move at your pace, focusing on what helps you feel grounded, supported, and empowered. You don’t have to face everything alone—I’m here to walk with you.

I treat young adults, adults, and older adults presenting with a wide range of life issues, needs, and concerns. I focus on maladaptive stress, anxiety, and mood instability stemming from various life situations (academic distress, finances, career, family relationships, personal relationships, and the diagnosis and treatment of physical health issues as examples). I do so by increasing self-awareness while teaching skills to refocus stress and reduce the feelings of instability experienced. I also help build a healthy sense of identity and increase confidence to make adaptive, self-determined life choices. I believe in an informed, individualized approach to treatment that is provided within a compassionate, respectful, and ethical environment. I firmly believe that through these elements individuals can reach a degree of awareness, focus, and understanding that allows for increased meaning, purpose, satisfaction, and fulfillment in their lives.

I provide a non-judgmental, caring space for clients to explore symptoms of anxiety, depression, everyday stress, or relationship conflict. I believe you are the expert of your life and that you have many strengths and I hope to offer a new perspective and an unbiased viewpoint on patterns that you may have developed in your life. Through cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness strategies, we can approach what patterns have worked well in your life and what have held you back in some ways to see what might work better.

When you’re searching for a therapist, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Maybe you’re navigating stress, self-doubt, or emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone. Therapy can provide a space to step back, gain clarity, and begin making sense of what you’re going through. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes, the first step is simply allowing yourself to be heard. In therapy, you can expect a thoughtful and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, gain deeper self-awareness, and develop strategies to manage challenges. My approach is insight-driven and reflective, helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck while also providing tools to help you move forward. Sessions are a balance of open exploration and practical guidance, shaped around your unique needs and goals. Therapy is a process, and everyone’s journey looks different. Some people come in wanting to work through a specific challenge, while others are looking for a space to process and gain insight over time. Whatever brings you here, we’ll work together in a way that feels helpful to you. If you’re considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out.

For more than 30 years, I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. My approach is light-hearted, easy-going, and grounded in the understanding that psychological well-being is not something people must create or earn, but an inherent capacity that remains present even during periods of distress. I view clients as fundamentally healthy individuals whose innate capacity for well-being can become obscured during difficult periods of life. My role is to facilitate insight and understanding that allow this natural capacity to re-emerge. Many clients report experiencing meaningful and lasting change, often with less effort and struggle than they previously believed possible. Rather than focusing primarily on managing symptoms, analyzing problems, or developing coping strategies, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of how their psychological experience is created. As people begin to recognize the role of thought and perception in shaping their moment-to-moment experience, they often discover greater clarity, resilience, emotional stability, and freedom from patterns that previously seemed overwhelming or permanent. My work is influenced by contemporary psychological science, decades of clinical experience, and the understanding that lasting change often occurs through new insight rather than through the continual management of psychological symptoms.

Do you want to appear confident and like you’ve got your life together, but deep down, you’re struggling with anxiety and a fear of never being good enough?

I take a holistic approach to mental health, which means therapy is just one piece of the puzzle. We’ll also look at things like sleep, nutrition, and movement to support your work in therapy. You’ll learn practical skills and understand how they work, so you can feel more confident facing daily challenges and stress in the short term. We’ll also do the hard work of addressing what’s underneath it all, so you can heal and create real, lasting change.
