Hello! My name is Skye Newman, and I have over 13 years of experience working in the recovery community and hold a master's from Western Michigan University. I specialize in SUDs, Co-occurring Disorders, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Mood Disorders, Gender Identity, and Life Transitions. My therapy blends Talk Therapy, TF-CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Parts Work, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Being a part of the LGBTQIA+ myself, I embrace a Sex/Kink Positive approach. Inclusivity is something I strive for in my practice, offering a safe space for clients to reclaim their narratives and explore identity. My dedication extends to advocacy and education, aiming to destigmatize mental health and ensure equitable access to care. The age range I service is 13 years old and up. If you feel we may be a good fit, feel free to reach out and schedule an appointment.
