Hi. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety (including worry, phobias, and OCD), perfectionism, procrastination, life transitions, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I use telehealth and in-office visits. My approach is action oriented – helping you build the skills to take risks and handle discomfort so that you can create the meaningful and satisfying life you want.
Drea Inspires creates therapeutic spaces for those who desire to grow and heal individually or in community. We focus on teens and adults who struggle with the following: depression, anxiety, childhood or adult trauma, and stress due to transitions.
I provide deep, effective counseling that goes beyond traditional talk therapy to help you resolve the root of the issue. I specialize in supporting those in high stress or high performing careers, college and graduate students and couples. We live in a world of stress and anxiety, where burn-out and relationship challenges can make you feel overwhelmed, hopeless and unsure where to turn. Healing, peace and life satisfaction is possible. Using my advanced post-graduate training, I can help you heal from past experiences and trauma. This starts the process of alleviating your current emotional distress and breaking stuck patterns.
Being a therapist means being open, non-judgmental, supportive, informative, and humble. I realize that each individual is an expert in their own life, and I encourage individuals to develop their own goals based on their individualized needs. I specialize in working with individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, individuals struggling with a sense of secure attachment within relationships, and individuals with a history of self-harm and/or suicidal ideation. I also specialize in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, and relationship/family conflict. Therapy is most effective when individuals actively engage in their treatment, and I hope to be able to provide tools and coping mechanisms to help clients reach their goals.

*I’m a therapist at Lotus Consulting, a group private practice located in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. I offer therapy via telehealth only. Welcome! My name is Zena and I specialize in working with anxiety, self-esteem, interpersonal concerns, and life challenges/adjustments. I have a MA in counseling and a BS in psychology and over five years working as a therapist in various outpatient settings. My approach to therapy is integrative; I work from a client-centered/humanistic lens incorporating elements of psychodynamic, existential, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused. Therapy is collaborative, there is no one size fits all approach to therapy, therefore I tailor my approach based on the needs of the individual. I believe the most important element of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, therefore I aim to be open-minded and authentic in the therapy room. My goal is to help clients gain insight by providing a safe, non-judgemental environment that fosters acceptance while also encouraging clients to work toward their goals (e.g. balancing acceptance with change). My ideal client is someone who is curious, open-minded, and willing to explore new prescriptives and how past experiences might be impacting how we currently engage with ourselves, others, and in the world. Many of my clients report increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, and ability to understand, accept, and regulate their internal experiences. When I am not providing therapy, I enjoy being in nature/hiking, spending time with my family and cats, and watching horror movies.
