Akia Agurs, LMSW
About me
I am an individual and family therapist licensed in Michigan with over 15 years of experience working in various mental health agencies, including residential treatment. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, ODD, and ADHD. I have also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. I am a certified Parent Project instructor, providing support and intervention for parenting issues.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines multi-dimensional family therapy, cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
