Grief counseling in Ann Arbor, MI

I see you…

You’ve been through something big. Massive. SEISMIC. Maybe a breakup, infidelity, marital separation, divorce, death of a spouse or loved one, unanticipated job loss…

Like Humpty Dumpty who fell off the wall, you fell apart. You broke down and now you're ready for a breakthrough. You’re shaken, but you’re ready to begin picking up the pieces.

Life as you knew it *is* over. But life isn’t over, even when it *feels* like it is. It's time to shift into the next chapter, one of healing, self-compassion, and growth.

Indeed, growth. Would you believe that the ways in which we grow most in life are through the very experiences we think will break us? Called posttraumatic growth, humans are resilient creatures who experience growth and transformation in the aftermath of some of the worst life has to offer, whether loss, trauma, or other adversity.

Online therapy can support you build the bridge from where you are to the life you desire and deserve. Are you ready?

Ann Arbor Therapist, Nikki Sewell LCSW LLC

Hi, I’m NIkki!

A 2007 graduate of the University of Michigan School of Social Work, I've been practicing in the field of social work, counseling, and psychotherapy for the past 17 years.

I take an eclectic approach in my work, drawing on a variety of modalities to best serve my clients.

I offer online therapy in Ann Arbor and across Michigan as well as Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, and South Carolina.

I also offer EMDR therapy, a wonderful complement to more traditional talk therapy approaches, offering rapid resolution of our stuck points. Learn more about EMDR therapy in Ann Arbor and across Michigan here.

Therapy with me is influenced many therapeutic perspectives, but is always strength-based, trauma-informed and values-driven.

Online Therapy in Michigan

I work well with clients who identify as:

  • Young widows, survivors of suicide loss, and orphaned adults who feel alone in their grief and don’t know how to ask for the support they need.

  • People-pleasers who put their own needs (needs? what needs?) on the back burner in the service of others.

  • The “Type A personality” who believe they’re responsible for everything and don’t allow themselves to lean on others.

  • High-achievers, academics, and workaholics struggling with perfectionism and work-life balance.

And Clients Who are ready to:

  • Lean into growth and transformation in the aftermath of some of the worst life has to offer.

  • Break through the fears that hold you back, because deep down, you know the biggest risk is not risking.

  • Let go of comparison, “shoulds” and expectations, all thieves of joy.

  • Find happiness again, even if it doesn’t quite look the same as it once did.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Therapy in Ann Arbor, MI

Does online therapy really work? 

Absolutely. While online therapy has become more common over the past four years, research studies have found time and time again that there is no difference in clinical outcomes between in-office and online therapy.

How much does it cost to see at therapist in Michigan?

This can depend on whether a client chooses to use insurance or not for a provider on their insurance plan, what their insurance benefits are, or if a client chooses to pay out-of-pocket. Learn more about the pros and cons of using your insurance for mental health services in Ann Arbor here.

Are counseling and therapy confidential? 

Absolutely. I won’t share any thing you share with me with anyone else unless I have your explicit written permission. The ONLY exception to that is if someone’s safety is at risk and I need to involve the appropriate services.

How often should I attend counseling and therapy sessions? 

This is a personal choice. My recommendation is always to start weekly based on research as well as my own clinical experience that clients get better more quickly the more frequently they attend. A client may prefer every other week sessions and that is OK. However, I don’t recommend monthly appointments for new clients.

How long does counseling and therapy typically last? 

Individual sessions last 50 minutes. On average, clients attend 12-14 sessions.

Which therapy is best for anxiety? 

There are a variety of treatment options for anxiety. Learn more about therapy for anxiety relief here.

How can I prepare for my sessions? 

Some clients arrive to session with a list of things they’d like to discuss. Before each session, carve out some time to review the period of time since your last session. If a lot has happened, choose what you want to prioritize discussing.

What if I don't feel comfortable with my Therapist? 

Finding the right fit is key. Here are some helpful things to consider before meeting with someone new. If you’re questioning whether your counselor and therapist is a good fit, I would encourage you to let them know how you feel.

Can Therapy and counseling help with relationship issues in Ann Arbor? 

Yes. This may be a helpful read for you about how 1:1 counseling can be effective for couples and relationship work.

How do I schedule an appointment for counseling or therapy?

Before scheduling a first session, I schedule a 15-minute phone consultation with all clients to make sure we’ll be a good fit there. Interested in scheduling your 15-minute consultation? Take the first step and contact me here.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my session?

No problem. Life happens! Let your counselor or therapist know as soon as possible so they can offer your slot to someone else. If you give less than 24 hours notice or no-show to your appointment, you may be subject to a late cancellation fee.

What qualifications should I look for in an therapist in Ann Arbor? 

All therapists and counselors have a at least a masters degree in varying counseling and therapy fields. I suggest clients focus on which therapists treat the issue they are seeking support for rather than the degree they have.
