Carmen Sarafa, M.A., LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

My philosophy: Everyone has a story. Those stories are what shapes us into the people we become, and those stories can always have different endings. When I was a teenager, I struggled with numerous life stressors and my mother had the foresight to find me outside help. That personal therapy experience is truly what led me to find my passion of helping others discover inner peace for themselves. Sometimes, asking for help can be one of the most difficult personal decisions we make. But, that decision can lead to lasting positive change in ourselves. 

I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Oakland University in 1996 and I have worked in the therapeutic community since then. I have extensive experience working with individuals with diverse mental health issues. Therapy is not a one size fits all, so we work together to find the right strategies and conversations that work for each person. My ultimate goal as your therapeutic guide is to create an environment of trust where you feel safe, comfortable and heard.  

I want to know your story! That story is the thing which makes you so unique. My job is to help you find the ending that helps you become the greatest version of yourself.  I guide individuals, couples, and adults in developing the insight and skills to live a healthy life and to help them find the best ending to their own personal story.
