For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Find someone who fits well with your personality. Therapists and coaches have a particular set of skills that can make a huge difference. We are also human, so we can relate to problems and pain.

After 25 years as a therapist, and now as a Self Care Coach, I know some great ways to help you feel better and clear your mind quickly. Let's balance your mind and body and create the mindset that gets results.

Accepting New Clients! Are you feeling overwhelmed by loneliness, sadness, shame or guilt? Do you find yourself constantly battling anxiety, irritability, or mood changes? Have you been struggling with lack of motivation, procrastination, racing thoughts, relationship issues, and have you wondered if or been told that ADHD might be the cause? It's time to take control of your well-being and discover the answers you've been searching for. My ideal client is someone who is highly motivated to collaborate with us on their journey to mental health wellness. I’m here to offer you a compassionate approach to mental health.

My Name is Lisa Johnson. I am dual-board certified as both a psychiatric and a family nurse practitioner, and I have over 10 years of experience. I provide a safe, non-judgement zone, collaborative environment where I offer medication management, and psychotherapy services. I partner with clients to help meet their unique needs. I am a great listener, I am very empathetic, and I believe in treating the "whole" person. I possess advanced training and certifications in therapy, ADHD, Trauma, military culture, functional medicine, bariatric evaluations, medically supervised weight loss and nutrition.

I am committed to helping people with challenges and difficulties they face in life. I seek to involve clients in a collaborative way in their treatment. I approach counseling in a manner that is respectful of cultural differences and demonstrates concern for your values & beliefs.

Se habla Espanol! I am trauma informed therapists that works with women's issues and family therapy. Depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors are common symptoms that my clients have struggled with; through the exploration of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors many clients experience personal growth and symptom relief. LGBTQ+ clients are welcome! It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy, but once you have made the decision; you have begun the process of change. Although therapy is an investment of time, energy and resources, the rewards can be great.

I completely understand the hesitancy associated with therapy. It’s a brave step to seek mental health help. I do everything in my power to put the client at ease and believe genuineness and mutual regard are at the heart of a therapeutic relationship. 

There is hope for a brighter tomorrow. It is possible to lead a life full of joy, purpose and freedom. Maybe you have tried on your own to make things right and nothing has worked. You aren't failing at healing, you're finding healing and that takes time and effort. Taking the step into therapy is a brave and courageous one and no matter what stage of healing you're in, we're all works in progress. We all need help sometimes. If your present reality is not congruent with what you pictured for your life, there is hope for change. You have made a courageous step in seeking help. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, PTSD or a life transition, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you are worth it.

There’s no harm in trying! I’d you don’t like, don’t continue but you’ll never know unless you try! It’s time devoted to you!

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I am the owner of Silver Lining Therapist. I opened my practice because I wanted to be able to focus on what matters …my clients. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most unique and important. Once we establish that, the rest is history. I hope to work with you soon! 

Admitting you need and asking for help can be very difficult, but it does not have to be scary. As a therapist, I perceive myself as your cheerleader while gently challenging you to make emotionally healthy changes. Why not try to live a more happy life?

What could the best version of yourself look like? By creating a safe, nurturing environment built on empathy, compassion and trust, together we will identify coping skills, establish healthy boundaries and reframe negative self talk. Together we will work on identifying more confident and healthy life choices. I would be honored to support you through your journey of self awareness and self empowerment. I graduated from Oakland University with a Masters degree in Counseling and a Post Masters Specialization in School Counseling. I earned my Bachelors degree in Sociology. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor. I have 15 years experience working with adolescents and adults . I enjoy working with a variety of clients and I approach each individual with compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard. I find it important to create a nurturing environment that assists my clients with reaching their full potential.  I work on empowering my clients, while gently challenging them to promote emotional and mental healing. I take a Client Centered, Solution Focused approach while utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Making the decision to start therapy is often not easy but you do not need to struggle alone.

I am not here to judge you or tell you what to do. I am here to help motivate you and work on issues from a strength based focus. 

My first career was in fine art reproduction where I worked with art buyers and galleries on an international level. I had no idea that in 2015 I would change careers and become a therapist. Clients say that therapy with me feels like a simple conversation. Couples therapy is my favorite type of clients but I currently work with anyone over the age of 13 unless they are seen for family therapy. I have five kids myself and have seen the ugly side of divorce. My belief is that we are all one decision away from something better.

Therapy isn’t just for people at rock bottom. It’s for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, cope with stress, or improve relationships. Even small concerns are valid reasons to seek support. Opening up can feel scary, but therapists are trained to create a space where you can be vulnerable without fear. You set the pace. You decide what to share and when. Feeling anxious, sad, or stuck doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. Therapy helps you explore those feelings and find new ways to cope. It’s a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy is a collaborative process. You’re not being “fixed”—you’re being supported in discovering your own insights and strengths. Progress takes time. Some sessions may feel light, others heavy. But every step you take is part of building a healthier, more resilient you. If you’re considering therapy but unsure where to start, I can help you explore options, prepare questions for a first session, or even write a message to a potential therapist. Want to take that first step together?

Welcome. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space where we can work together to understand your challenges, explore your strengths, and create meaningful, positive changes in your life. In our work together, we’ll talk about what you’re experiencing, identify what you’d like to shift, and empower you to take steps toward healing. Recovery is possible. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to best fit each individual's needs; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy and motivational interviewing; with focus on problem solving, coping skills, relapse prevention and continued recovery. Treatment is available and there is no shame in seeking support. Take the first step—reach out today. You don’t have to do this alone.

If you're hesitant about trying therapy, I want you to know that seeking help is a powerful and brave choice. It's okay to feel uncertain, but therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. You deserve support, and therapy equips you with tools to navigate life's complexities, develop coping strategies, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. It's an investment in your well-being and a step toward a brighter, more empowered future.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them? I would want them to know that it’s completely okay to feel hesitant—starting therapy can feel unfamiliar or even intimidating. But therapy is not about being judged or having all the answers. It’s about having a space where you can be yourself, at your own pace. You don’t have to share everything at once, and you don’t have to be “ready” in a perfect way. Just showing up is enough. Therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to meet you where you are, support you, and help you feel comfortable along the way.
