Ann Arbor Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Erica Garcia

I see couples and partners with a wide range of presenting concerns and intersecting identities. Many of my clients are queer, Latinx/Chicanx, and QTPOC. I support those who have experienced personal, systemic, and relational difficulties due to traumatic life events and systemic oppression. To stay true to my specializations, I am only accepting new clients for relationship therapy (any two or more people in a close relationship) and prioritizing trauma-informed sex and couples therapy.

Leticia Berg

My clinical expertise is working with survivors of trauma, sex abuse, social injustice, and domestic violence. I also work with individuals, couples, and families on building healthy relationships, coping with loss, overcoming anxiety and depression, as well as issues specifically relating to the LGBTQ population.

Jenna Chang

I’m a certified trauma specialist with experience treating trauma response and PTSD. I have worked with veterans, car accident victims, and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and abuse.

Tristan Woodsmith

I believe everyone is capable of realizing their authentic self and finding inner-clarity, regardless of their circumstances or experiences. I do my best to help my clients feel safe and comfortable and know that they can express themselves without judgment. Together we can explore the challenges that you would like to address and practice tools that will bring you relief, clarity, and new ways of being. I am happy to work with clients from all backgrounds and identities.

Matt Bouse

Many of my clients have no previous experience in therapy. Others have had limited, often negative, experiences. Most hold one of more of the following identities: they are men, they are second-generation immigrants and/or they are queer. They might not have seen themselves represented well in mental health spaces. They also might not have been taught how to express their feelings openly and may view their emotions as a weakness and as something to fear.

Sarah Cissell

Are you noticing tension in your relationships? Do you find that you and your partner(s) are in conflict often? Do you want to find pleasure and empowerment in your sex life? If so, relationship and/or sex therapy may be for you. There are a variety of strategies that talk therapy can provide to assist you in reaching your personal and relationship goals.

Margaret Levasseur

Using trauma-informed stabilization, I help clients learn to feel grounded and safe in the present and in their bodies. I also can help you process traumatic experiences so they are no longer pulling you back into the past.

Jennifer Tang

Our clients come from all cultural, gender, and age backgrounds. Whether they are coming to therapy to better understand ongoing challenges that have impacted how they view themselves or their world, or desiring to learn practical coping tools and solution-focused approaches for overcoming barriers, our clients are motivated for growth. They may be new and uncertain what therapy is, but know they are feeling stuck and desiring how to better understand themselves and be active agents of change.

Amber Sylvan

Does it feel like you're trying to pour from am empty cup? Have you been feeling overwhelmed, find it difficult to manage stress, or just haven't been feeling like yourself? Or perhaps you're tired of being misunderstood for your geekiness and nerdy hobbies and just want a therapist who implicitly "gets it" without the awkward explanations. I focus on helping young adults master their anxiety, tame overwhelming emotions, and improve relationships.

Freeman Shields

Have you found yourself feeling stuck? Do you ever feel held back or even controlled by difficult thoughts or emotions? Of course you have, in fact we all have struggled with being in this space and not knowing how to move forward. One of the most difficult parts of being in this situation is going through it alone without any tools. By exploring your experiences in a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental way, we can find out what is hooking you and empower you to unhook yourself.

Paula Kirsch

Couples who want to improve their communication.Couples and individuals who have lost or never had intimacy, and want to experience pleasure in their sex lives. Women who have trouble saying “no” and setting boundaries. Women who have experienced physical and or sexual trauma either in childhood or as an adult. Women who think they have had too many sexual partners or too few, or generally feel anxious about sex and intimate sex and intimate relationships. Women who experience pain during sex.

I have a passion of working for women and creating positive change in my clients. I have experience working with adults and treating a wide array of presenting concerns. I love practicing through a strengths-based approach where I ensure that my clients ultimately flourish, heal, and feel better about themselves. I am also competent in the intersectionality of identities including race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.

Kristen McCurry

I often meet my clients when they’re going through something that is too much for them to get through alone, and they're feeling like some extra support would help. Life is full of transitions--family changes, identity changes, job changes, or facing the unexpected. I understand those moments of uncertainty, when we feel a little lost. I love to help my clients find their clarity, and decide what life they want to live.
