Akia Agurs

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am an individual and family therapist licensed in Michigan with over 15 years of experience working in various mental health agencies, including residential treatment. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, ODD, and ADHD. I have also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. I am a certified Parent Project instructor, providing support and intervention for parenting issues.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines multi-dimensional family therapy, cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adjusting to life changes, research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can choose the mode of communication that fits their life best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent care and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide services through these channels, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they seek a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, effective way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns while accommodating personal needs and routines.
