Andi received her master’s degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work. She has utilized her MSW in numerous ways over her 25-year career and deeply loves her work. Initially, Andi focused on raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, and then transitioned to erasing the stigma for the LGBTQIA community. Consequently, this led Andi to support its members through anxiety, trauma, depression, and various life stresses.
Seeing the pain of people living with HIV/AIDS or struggling to feel good about themselves in a society that rejected them because of their sexual or gender orientation made Andi want to change from organizational work to a career as a therapist. Now, 15 years later, she continues to love her work and is passionate about using cutting-edge skills to help clients heal.
What is an EMDR Intensive or Mental Health Retreat?
EMDR Intensive
An EMDR Intensive is a focused and powerful therapeutic approach that condenses several sessions of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy into a shorter time frame. Instead of spreading the sessions out over months, you can experience the benefits of EMDR in a more concentrated format, often within a few days. This can be incredibly beneficial for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, or other emotional challenges.
In Michigan, there are many skilled EMDR Intensive therapists who are dedicated to helping you through this transformative process. Whether you’re looking to address specific traumatic events or broader issues, an EMDR Intensive can provide the focused attention and accelerated progress you need.
Mental Health Retreat
A mental health retreat is a getaway designed to help you relax and work on your mental health in a soothing environment. These retreats offer a variety of therapeutic activities and workshops, including mindfulness, yoga, and individual or group therapy sessions. The goal is to provide a holistic approach to mental health. This allows you to take a break from your everyday stressors and focus on healing and personal growth.
In Michigan, you can find mental health retreats that offer serene settings and expert guidance, creating the perfect atmosphere for self-discovery and emotional healing. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, seeking personal growth, or just needing some time to reset, a mental health retreat can be a wonderful investment in your well-being.
