Welcome! I’m so glad we’ve crossed paths. My name is Hayley, and my pronouns are she/her/hers.

At Authenticity Recovery, we work with people who are ready to understand their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves in a deeper way. Our clients often feel stuck in cycles of food rules, restriction, bingeing, emotional eating, body dissatisfaction, or anxiety around food and may be tired of feeling like food and body image take up so much space in their lives. We especially enjoy working with individuals who want more than short-term symptom management. Many of our clients are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, life transitions, or difficult emotions that can make it challenging to feel comfortable in their bodies or trust themselves around food. Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on the whole person, not just eating disorder symptoms. We believe healing is possible without shame, rigid rules, or having to “fix” your body. Whether you’re just beginning to question your relationship with food or have been struggling for years, we’re here to help you build a more peaceful, flexible, and authentic relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

School can be exciting, overwhelming, and full of change. For many students, being in a campus environment can also bring increased body image pressures, stress, and challenges with eating, making this a time when eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and other mental health concerns often show up or become more intense. I've spent years specializing in eating disorders and OCD across higher levels of care and outpatient private practice, giving me the experience to support you wherever you are in your recovery. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you can build practical tools, feel more like yourself, and spend less time stuck in symptoms and more time living the life you want.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to balance school, work, relationships, family expectations, or figuring out what is next. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what's on your mind. Together, we'll work on understanding what you are going through, managing stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions, and building practical skills to help you feel more confident and grounded. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, identity, and major life changes like college, starting a career, or simply learning how to navigate adulthood. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or coming back after a break, my goal is to make the experience feel welcoming, collaborative, and helpful. I currently offer virtual therapy sessions for Michigan residents.

Hello all, I’m Emily. Trying to heal while dealing with the challenges that life entails can be difficult and enraging. I am here to tell you that you do not have to do it alone. I offer non-judgmental and inclusive therapy by providing a safe and comfortable space to explore your emotions and start the healing process. I obtained my B.A. in Psychology from Saint Mary’s College in 2020 and my M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Aquinas College in 2023. I specialize in working with adults (18-30 years of age) and couples. I have experience in working on several issues including depression, anxiety, marital and relational issues, sexuality, test anxiety, and academic performance issues. My approach to counseling consists of letting you, the client, direct our sessions. I am here to offer my professional help using techniques and interventions. These techniques involve journaling, mindfulness strategies, grounding techniques, coping skills, and many more. We will work together to find the treatment plan and goals that feel right for you.

I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients in their healing journeys and have found that, for many whose trust (in others and in themselves) has been shaken, finally feeling heard and understood serves as a powerful corrective experience. I believe that these experiences are crucial in facilitating personal growth and change. I recognize that all clients have unique strengths, and I build upon these to create a working alliance that is non-judgmental, empowerment-based, and client-focused. Many feel alienated not only in their struggles but in their pursuit of wellbeing, especially when they have not received a great deal of support in making the changes they desire. I am honored to provide such support and join clients on their paths toward healing. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in the treatment of trauma, complex PTSD, attachment, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in and often utilize trauma-focused interventions including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy (FFTT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I also frequently employ solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and emotional regulation strategies in my practice, depending on each client’s unique needs.

Everyone faces seasons in their lives where it feels like they’re on a spinning wheel. Round and round and round you go, too afraid to get off or try something different, too stuck in old patterns or routines, lacking the skills or support to take the leap.  You’re here because you want something different, something more, something better for your life.  I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Life Coach with almost twenty years of experience in the field. Since starting my own private practice in 2020, I have primarily worked with women in adolescence through adulthood, focusing on life transitions, relationships, divorce, parenting, trauma, grief, and self-worth. As an integrative systems therapist, I understand that the systems we’re a part of, including our families of origin, communities and social networks, country, the world, and the planet, have profound impacts on us individually. I utilize a blend of modalities that meet each client where they’re at, including mindfulness, visualization, and writing. I have been EMDR-trained since 2021.  I’m currently accepting clients on a limited basis beginning in September 2026. Email me to secure your spot. I look forward to meeting you.

Welcome! I am ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS... Most of my clients express feeling heard & hopeful after our first session. I believe a strong client-therapist connection is crucial in therapy. Finding the right therapist can be challenging and my goal is to make that process as comfortable as possible. It is natural to feel overwhelmed by life at times. Together we will create a personalized treatment plan with a focus on the whole person (mind and body), as every person & experience is unique. I utilize a strengths-based approach to help people identify what they are already doing well, and help them see & build on that potential. Small changes can make a big impact. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) & Mindfulness-based stress reduction. Speciality areas include: relationship/family concerns, college/graduate student-related concerns, young adults, trauma history, anxiety, stress management, self care, pregnancy/pre/post-natal support & adjustment to life transitions. I am an independently licensed therapist and obtained my Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2008. I enjoy spending time with my children and family outdoors, playing sports, yoga, and traveling. I look forward to getting to know you, and am available to answer any questions you might have!

I have a passion for helping people navigate through life's challenges and build joy back into their lives. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood instability, difficulty adjusting to life's transitions, relationship issues, and overall life dissatisfaction.
