Hi :) I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Michigan with nine years of experience walking alongside adults through some of life’s heaviest seasons. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, substance use concerns, family stress, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, and significant trauma. While I have experience working with children and adolescents, my heart and passion are rooted in helping adults make sense of their stories, regulate their emotions, and build lives that feel steady and meaningful. My counseling style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life — even if right now it doesn’t feel that way. Therapy with me is not about judgment or rigid advice; it’s about slowing down, getting curious, and building practical tools that help you feel more grounded and in control. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused strategies, and concrete coping skills to support emotional regulation and growth. I have additional training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which allow us to process trauma and intense emotions in ways that are structured, supportive, and manageable. Together, we create goals that are realistic, measurable, and aligned with the life you want. Growth takes courage. You don’t have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you in becoming your most grounded and authentic self.

Hello and welcome, I am Rev. Carolyn Simon, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist serving as a Transformational Counselor/Consultant— and I’m here to help you heal from the inside out. My specialty is working with women who are carrying the weight of anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions, and who are ready for a different kind of healing… one that reaches your mind, your emotions, and your soul. I understand what it feels like to push through life feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps. Maybe you’re contemplating divorce, healing from one, resolving the impact of a relationship, rebuilding your confidence, or simply trying to find your direction again. Wherever you are in your journey, I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. When we work together, we create a safe, compassionate space where your emotions, your fears, your story, and your voice matter. My approach is unique because I combine clinical counseling, hypnotherapy, and spiritual consciousness work. This allows us to go deeper than traditional talk therapy alone — not just talking about the patterns holding you back, but actually transforming them at the subconscious and soul level. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs and emotional imprints that anxiety and trauma have left in your mind and body, and then gently release and reframe them so you can step into a life that feels light, grounded, and truly your own. As you reconnect with your inner wisdom, you begin to see yourself differently — clearer, stronger, more capable, and more deserving. You start to trust yourself again. You start to breathe again. And that’s where the transformation truly begins. In our work, I will guide you to: ● Heal the emotional impact of trauma stored in your body. ● Shift the patterns of anxiety that keep you overwhelmed or afraid. ● Rebuild your self-worth and confidence. ● Break cycles of people-pleasing, self-doubt, and emotional suppression. ● Release subconscious beliefs shaped by past relationships or childhood experiences. ● Strengthen your sense of spiritual connection, intuition, and inner peace. ● Create a renewed, empowered vision for your life — bold, authentic, and free. My mission is simple: to help you remember who you truly are beyond the anxiety, the trauma, and the experiences that tried to silence your voice. I believe healing is emotional, spiritual, energetic, and deeply personal. And when a woman reconnects to her inner essence, everything in her life begins to transform. If you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control of your life… if you’re ready to heal old wounds and step into the woman you’re becoming… then I’m here to walk with you — mind, body, and soul.

I have had two careers which run concurrently: many years as a parish pastor and at the same time a mental health counselor. I am strongly invested in the LGBTQ issues because of my transgender grandson's amazing journey. As a hospice chaplain, I have provided bereavement support counseling to families. As a divorce mediator employing dispute management skills, I have guided couples in making parenting decisions that are in the best interests of their children. My passion is not to be a sage on the stage but a guide by the side with individuals and couples seeking solutions that are practical. I have expertise in cognitive -behavioral counseling, rational emotive psychotherapy, anger management (especially with men who abuse), and Life Work Planning and Career Development. I have modest experience with Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and Healing Story Telling. I endeavor to blend theory and practice, while affirming growth and risk-taking. I am a non-judgmental listener. I employ humor and unconditional support routinely to neutralize resistance to change. I am old fashioned person who still believes in unconditional positive regard and seeking a truth that sets people free.

Together, we’ll build the habits, mindset, and momentum you need to feel aligned, resilient, and fully you again. I believe you don’t need to be fixed—you need space to breathe, tools that work, and someone who truly sees you. That’s where I come in. I’ll help you get clear on what you want, uncover what’s holding you back, and take courageous, doable steps to create change that sticks. This isn’t about doing more.
