Finding the right kind of support matters. If you’re carrying trauma, navigating emotional overwhelm, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling to regulate your inner world, therapy can offer a steady place to land and reorient.

At Hillside Counseling, I provide online, depth-oriented therapy for adults (18+) anywhere in Michigan. My work is grounded in trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming care. Together, we move at the pace of your nervous system—never rushing, never pushing past what feels safe.

This page gives you a clear overview of the services offered and helps you explore what might fit your needs.

A Depth-Oriented Approach to Healing

The work we do is not surface-level symptom management. It’s experiential, relational, and rooted in the science of how the brain and body heal.

Therapy here often includes:

  • Trauma-informed, attachment-oriented care
  • Somatic awareness — tracking sensations, impulses, and what your body wants you to know
  • Neurobiologically informed emotional processing
  • Tuning into younger, protective, or overwhelmed parts of you
  • Completing stuck emotional waves rather than suppressing them
  • Bringing warmth, attunement, and safety back into your inner world


You don’t have to figure this out alone. We learn your nervous system together—how it protects you, how it shuts down, and how it can gently reopen over time.

What You Can Work On Here

Trauma & Post-Traumatic Stress

Trauma can leave you feeling hypervigilant, disconnected, or caught in cycles you can’t explain. Therapy helps you reconnect with yourself safely and gently. Relational trauma, complex trauma, childhood wounding, emotional neglect, and acute events are all welcome here. Learn More.

Anxiety, Overwhelm & Shutdown Patterns

Your nervous system may be working overtime—racing thoughts, tension, spiraling worry, or abrupt shutdowns when things feel too much. Therapy helps you understand your patterns, soften your edges, and build internal flexibility. Learn More.

Depression, Numbness & Disconnection

Depression often shows up as heaviness, withdrawal, or a sense that you’re “not really here.” Numbing, emptiness, and flatness are often protective responses, not failures. We work gently to reconnect you to vitality and aliveness. Learn More.

ADHD & Emotional Regulation

ADHD is much more than executive functioning. For many adults, it’s emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity, overwhelm, and inconsistent access to motivation. Therapy helps you understand your brain, honor your neurodivergence, and build compassionate internal structure. Learn More.

Somatic & Experiential Therapies

The body holds memory in ways the mind can’t always articulate. Somatic therapy helps you work with sensation, movement, emotion, and implicit memory—not just thoughts. This is especially supportive for trauma survivors, highly sensitive people, and those who “get it intellectually” but don’t feel better. Learn More.

Brainspotting for Trauma & Performance Blocks

Brainspotting is a focused, neurobiologically based method for accessing deeper layers of stuck trauma, emotional pain, and unconscious patterns. It can be a powerful support during trauma work, or a standalone process for specific issues. Learn More.
