Our Ann Arbor Office
A calm, private space to slow down and do the work that matters.
Walking into therapy for the first time, or the hundredth time, should feel like a relief, not another source of stress.
Our Ann Arbor office was designed with that in mind: a warm, private, and quiet space where you can fully step out of the noise of your day and into the work of healing.
What to Expect When You Arrive
From the moment you walk in, the space is intentionally simple and calming — soft lighting, comfortable seating, and a quiet, private setting free from the clinical feel of a typical medical office.
Whether you're coming in for a traditional talk therapy session, EMDR, or an extended intensive, the space is designed to help your nervous system settle before we even begin.
Why In-person Therapy Might Be Right for You:
While many clients benefit from the flexibility of online sessions, some therapy, depending on each individual, can feel more grounded and effective in person. Being physically present in a safe, consistent space can deepen the sense of safety needed for this kind of work, especially during EMDR intensives.
Why Choose In-Person Therapy?
A Dedicated Sanctuary: You don't have access to a quiet, private space at home or work.
Face-to-Face Connection: You feel more present and grounded with a therapist in the same room.
A Change of Scenery: Stepping away from your daily routine helps you reset and shift focus.
Clear Boundaries: You prefer keeping your personal healing space separate from your home environment.
EMDR in Ann Arbor FAQ
-
Both options are available. In-person sessions take place at an Ann Arbor office, providing a quiet, dedicated space for somatic and trauma work. Virtual EMDR sessions are also available via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for anyone located across Michigan.
-
In-person EMDR therapy is available at a private office in Ann Arbor, convenient for residents in Washtenaw County, including Ypsilanti, Saline, and the surrounding University of Michigan community. Virtual EMDR sessions are also offered via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for anyone located throughout Michigan.
-
Look for a fully licensed clinician—such as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) or Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)—with decades of experience using EMDR, who has completed formal EMDRIA-approved training. Choosing a therapist who integrates body-centered techniques, mindfulness, or somatic approaches can further support gentle, nervous-system-based trauma processing.
A therapist with decades of EMDR experience has likely worked with hundreds of different presentations, trauma histories, and nervous systems, which means they've learned to recognize subtle signs of dysregulation, adjust pacing in real time, and know when to slow down, speed up, or shift approach entirely based on what a client's body is showing them — not just what a textbook protocol says to do next.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that helps clear emotional blocks without requiring endless talking.
Whether you are dealing with past traumatic events, high-pressure career burnout, panic attacks, or persistent self-doubt, EMDR helps your brain reprocess stuck experiences so you can move forward with greater ease.
-
EMDR therapy sessions follow standard clinical appointments (typically 55 minutes) and can be integrated into broader trauma-informed, somatic, or mindfulness-based care.
During your initial consultation, we can discuss session structure, fees, insurance reimbursement options (out-of-network superbills), and scheduling.
-
Yes. While EMDR is widely known for trauma treatment, it is exceptionally effective for generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias. Anxiety often stems from past experiences or negative core beliefs (like "I'm not safe" or "I'm not in control") stored in the body.
EMDR helps reprocess those underlying triggers so your nervous system no longer reacts with hypervigilance.
-
In-person sessions take place at an office in Ann Arbor, convenient for residents across Washtenaw County, including Ypsilanti, Saline, and the U-M campus area. Virtual EMDR for anxiety is also available via a secure video platform for anyone located across Michigan.
