Going away to school, adjusting to your new adult role in life, managing various roles in your life can be exhausting and overwhelming. My ultimate goal is to create validating, non-judgmental environment to help you feel safe and comfortable. I believe in offering support, guidance and knowledge to each of my clients.I have been trained in DBT therapy to teach you skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and modify behaviors. You can develop the healthy life you desire. Humans experience emotions! Sometimes we may think there is a right way and a wrong way to feel and distress means, we are feeling the wrong way. That is a ton of pressure! Sometimes, our emotions become distressing. Few are taught to manage emotions effectively and distress can lead to self-blame, defeated feelings, strained relationships, self-harm, and more. I WOULD BE HONORED TO HELP YOU! I believe in treating clients holistically. We are more than our mental health. We are all individuals and our experiences are unique. My clinical focus is creating an environment that is safe, unique to your personal needs, and promotes personal growth. We will work together to replace unhealthy coping with positive skills, proven to work. A LITTLE ABOUT ME I graduated with my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University. I am a fully licensed LLP and a LPC. I have been working in the field of counseling for many years and have received instruction in the areas of Parenting, Trauma, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, CBT. and Anxiety. However, the greatest instruction I have received is the variety of experiences I have overcome, in my own life. I specialize in helping people feel empowered to take the control back of their emotions, their past, their circumstances, their relationships and ultimately their lives. I work with individuals and families from various cultural backgrounds, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. You are reading this to decide if I have the tools to help you with whatever circumstance brought you here today. I believe I do have the tools you need. I think everyone is valuable and has the ability to learn skills to overcome their circumstances and become the person they would like to be.

In my therapy practice, I work with a lot of people who are great at managing some aspects of their lives, but struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism and relationship issues. They can be so good at helping others, but never learned how to show up for themselves in the same way! I had my own first experience with therapy when I was in college: it was rigid and uncomfortable and not helpful...so I am intentionally here to offer the opposite experience. You'll find that I am laid back, and have a balance of compassion with sass/swearing. I'll help you understand the root of why things are showing up the way they are for you right now, and provide you the space and tools to shift how you are thinking, feeling, and showing up in your life. For clients who are interested, I also incorporate spiritual (not religious) and energetic tools to help the healing process. Check out my website to learn more!

My hope is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcome.

I use a variety of approaches based on your needs, with a focus on Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work, and EMDR. I utilize these methods because they support the whole mind-body connection, allowing history that has been stored in the nervous system to be released. Together we can help make sense of the pieces of your life that have become overwhelming and give you tools to handle life with more confidence.

My name is Lydia Zuker and I am the owner of a small private practiced called Enlightened Therapy. Enlightened Therapy is all about creating an atmosphere of safety, support, and empowerment. If you are struggling and want to make improvements to your life and well-being, I would love to support and guide you along that journey. I operate utilizing evidence-based practices that are customized to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in therapy that addresses all areas of a person's life, including family, relationships, work, school, and physical health.

About Lydia: I obtained my master’s degree in clinical social work from Michigan State University and my undergraduate degree in psychology from Grand Valley State University.

I don’t look like what I have been through, and you don’t have to, either. There are times in our lives when we can’t see past our grief, trauma, passion, or desires. There is no shame in talking things out with a professional trained to help. We all walk a different path, but talking to someone can sometimes help us see the forest, not just the trees. My goal is to assist you in establishing healthy boundaries across various areas of your life, enhancing self-awareness, and embracing uncomfortable emotions like guilt and shame. I promote self-love and compassion, improve communication skills, and encourage you to face your fears and uncertainties.

Are you on the struggle bus and can’t find a way off? Adult-ing is hard, amiright?! Most of my clients are young adults navigating ALL.THE.THINGS while trying to make everyone else happy. Spoiler alert: THIS ISN’T SUSTAINABLE!! Our work together is to guide you in sorting through all the mental muck, tapping into the most authentic version of you. I am not your typical therapist. Well, I do like cardigans and wide rimmed glasses. I also like to laugh a lot and cuss a little, or cuss a lot and laugh a little—depends on the day! Either way, you will receive my most authentic self, honesty in your journey, and a depth of specialized trainings to guide your experience. So, if you feel ready to reach out and get on the path to being enough/good enough and living your best life for YOU, instead of everyone else—email me. Email is the easiest and fastest way to connect with me.

I provide guidance and support to teens and young adults who are struggling with various life transitions such as processing family conflict, transition from high school to college, perfectionism, anxiety, student athletes who are struggling with time management, young adults and adults struggling with depression or anxiety, and adjusting to life after college. An important part of the therapy process is learning how to find balance, organize your thoughts and learn about what has shaped the story you've been telling yourself. Being busy and physically active has always been a big part of my life and has driven me to my success as a therapist. However, it hasn't always been easy. I love working with college students, especially student athletes, who are struggling with the transition to college, high pressure with academics, sports, and adults in your life that just don't seem to understand what you're going through at the moment. It's not healthy to "tough it out." Let's figure out what's going on, identify some new strategies and bring the best version of yourself forward. Making the decision to honor yourself and reach out to a therapist is often the hardest part of this process. If any of this has resonated with you while viewing the results of your search, contact me via email or phone to schedule your first appointment. Thursday evening and some weekend appointments are available at this time.
