Dr. Sonia Ovuehor Ovy
Counselor/Therapist, Doctor of science in Counselling Psychology, Msc Conflict Resolution, Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy, Counselling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Certificate in Mental Health Studies, Suicide Prevention and Intervention, Diploma in Relationship and Family Counselling, CPD in Neuro Linguistic Programming.
I am a globally certified relationship and marriage coach, licensed Counsellor, seasoned Therapist. My years of hands-on experience cut across relationship therapy, marital counselling, business coaching, career mentorship, grief/trauma/addiction recovery, etc.
I possess grandiose expertise in listening, absorbing and analyzing human problems without prejudice. As an individual who has experienced life from all angles (right from a tender age), I am apparently in a better position to counsel and admonish individuals who battle with depression, anxiety, retrogression/set backs, financial turmoils, addiction, emotional/domestic abuse, rejection, youthful exuberance, juvenile delinquency, child abuse, marital/family crisis, etc.
My professional background makes me capable of being a great confidant and less judgmental. My sense of humor often gives my clients a soothing sigh of relief, irrespective of the burden at hand.
I also provide spiritual counselling services for deeper issues beyond basic comprehension.

Amira Doucette
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LLP, NCC
I've exclusively practiced telehealth since 2015, and have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years. During this time, I've been fortunate enough to have worked with clients from all over the world. As I've helped with their concerns, I repeatedly find the single most important conduit to change is the relationship we forge in therapy. In this relationship I am without judgment: I am respectful, understanding, and accepting.

Lansing is Michigan's state capital and sits directly adjacent to East Lansing, home of Michigan State University—one of the country's large public research universities—creating a combined metro area with substantial student and government worker populations and a correspondingly strong demand for mental health services across different life stages. University of Michigan Health-Sparrow and McLaren Greater Lansing provide behavioral health services, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the mix of government employees, healthcare workers, and university-adjacent professionals in the region. Common therapy concerns include government worker stress, student mental health (with MSU being a significant driver of demand in adjacent East Lansing), economic anxiety tied to Michigan's auto industry, and the adjustment challenges of a capital city navigating Michigan's complex political and fiscal environment. The university community's generally positive attitude toward mental health care supports a culture of help-seeking across the broader metro area.
