Rejected, Misunderstood, and Still Struggling? Real Healing Starts With Just For You Support.
We provide virtual depression therapy for women in Michigan who want more than surface-level care—compassionate, expert support that truly sees you and helps you reclaim your strength.
You Tried to Get Help—But It Felt Like No One Was Listening
YYou searched. You showed up. Maybe you even let your guard down.
And then, it happened again: vague policies, cold responses, and that all-too-familiar feeling of being dismissed. Maybe a place once gave you hope, only to shut the door without a reason.
You were left wondering what went wrong. Feeling worse than before. Feeling broken, not by your pain, but by the places that promised to help.
You deserve better.
As a therapist who has been both a helper and someone who has wrestled with hurt, I built this practice on the truth that healing begins with being heard—really heard.
“Clients often come to us brokenhearted. Other solutions gave them hope, then failed to really see their struggle, or provide relief.”
This is Where You Get to Feel Human Again
We offer online depression therapy for women in Michigan who are ready to feel understood, not evaluated. Our approach integrates evidence-based practices that focus on real transformation.

Therapy Approaches We Use for Deep, Lasting Healing
EMDR Therapy
If past memories still trigger overwhelming emotions, EMDR therapy helps your brain reprocess them in a way that removes their power over you.
IFS Therapy
If part of you wants to heal, but another part resists, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps you understand and work with these inner conflicts so you feel more balanced.
Individual Therapy
Because trauma isn’t just stored in the mind, but also in the body, specialized individual therapy will help you reconnect with a sense of safety and peace.
Meet the Women Who Get It
Bringing years of experience in trauma and women’s mental health, our founder isn’t just qualified—she’s committed.
“As someone who has walked through deep pain, both personally and professionally, I understand what it means to rebuild. Therapy is not just what I do—it’s who I am.”
We’ve seen those who sat in the silence, longing for someone to ask the right questions. That lived experience shaped our belief that healing is not found in perfection, but in presence.

Questions or concerns about therapy for depression?

At EMPWR Transformative Therapy, we focus on doing deep, internal work to help women heal from what holds them back. We understand the desire for immediate relief and will provide skills and techniques to help you alleviate distress as soon as possible, while working toward the goal of long-term relief. Of course, the length of therapy depends on several factors including how long the problem has been going on and how willing you are to implement the tools you learned in therapy.
During your first session, you and your therapist will talk more about your goals for treatment and a realistic timeframe for accomplishing those goals.
-
Yes! More often than not, our clients can't identify the "source" of their pain...and that's okay! There are so many factors that can impact depression.
We use evidence-based modalities that allow you to “connect the dots,” gain a deeper understanding of your internal and external experiences, and get to the “root” of your issues so you can heal and find long-term relief instead of having to use coping skills for long-term maintenance.
-
We understand that therapy is an investment. We care deeply about providing the best possible experience for each of our clients and take a limited number of clients. We take our mental health and professional development very seriously and value work/life balance to ensure we remain passionate about our work and fully committed to providing the best possible care. This allows our clients to achieve their goals more quickly than working with therapists who are overworked and burnt out.
Consider the following options:
Use pre-tax dollars, such as a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for therapy if those funds are available
Look to your employer (or your spouses) to check if you have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that will cover the bill for a set number of sessions
Talk to your tax preparer to see if you’d be able to deduct therapy from your taxes as an out-of-pocket health expense
Understand that therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships and compare the financial cost to the possible long-term emotional costs

Talk to your insurance company about out-of-network benefits. A mental health diagnosis is required for reimbursement, however, if you aren’t concerned about a diagnosis on your permanent medical record and your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits, we can provide you with documentation for you to submit to insurance for reimbursement. We specifically hold 53-minute sessions (90837) so insurance will reimburse you the highest amount. Here are some helpful questions to ask:
What is my out-of-network deductible?
How much of my out-of-network deductible has been met?
What is my coinsurance?
What are the reimbursement rates for CPT codes 90791-95 and 90837-95?
How do I submit for reimbursement?
How long do I have to submit a Superbill?
It is your responsibility to call your insurance provider to inquire about out-of-network benefits.
Reimbursement is not guaranteed and you are responsible for full payment at the time of services.

We prioritize emotional safety, real connection, and individualized support. You're not a file. You're a person with a story that deserves care. We also offer specialized therapies like EMDR and IFS.
-
We don't do silent rejections. Every client deserves transparency, and if we can't help, we explain why and guide you to someone who can.
-
Our services are thoughtfully designed with a deep understanding of the gendered experiences that shape women’s mental health — including the unique ways trauma, depression, and relational wounds can show up in their lives.
While our primary focus is on supporting women, we know that healing is never one-size-fits-all. If you're outside of that focus and one of our therapists feels aligned with your needs, we’re open to exploring whether working together is the right fit.
-
That’s okay. We move at your pace. You decide when and how to open up. We’re here to support, not push.
