Allison Shaune - Clinical Mental Health Intern
Counseling can provide the healing, encouragement, and strength to become the healthiest version of yourself. In my practice, I believe in working with you to reach your highest potential and promoting health in all areas of wellness. As your counselor, it is my mission to make you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I will provide a safe space where we can explore challenges, emotions, and potential solutions. I believe you are capable, and my role as your counselor will be to guide you towards fulfillment in all areas of your life.
My approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to the needs of my clients. People are extremely complex, and so are the challenges we face. With a holistic, strength-based, and person-centered approach we will explore evidence-based techniques for healing that are personalized to you and your goals.
In my previous career, I worked in education as an elementary teacher and behavior specialist. During that time, I gained training and experience working with children and families with a wide range of needs including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, life transitions, relationship issues, and trauma. However, I have a passion for providing support to people of all ages and needs - from young children to adults, to couples and families.
I have my Master’s in Educational Studies from the University of Michigan and am an intern working towards my second Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Spring Arbor University. I am trained in Nonviolent Crisis Prevention and Intervention, TRAILS CBT and Mindfulness, CBT Essentials, Youth Mental Health First Aid, Restorative Practices, Applied Educational Neuroscience, and Zones of Regulation. I also hold certification as a Yoga Instructor.
Finding healing is a journey that is far from linear, and taking the first step towards seeking help is courageous. If you have any questions about therapy or my practice, please reach out!

I am deeply passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where individuals of all ages can explore their feelings, navigate challenges, and grow into the best versions of themselves. Life is a journey filled with moments of change and growth, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be heard, understood, and supported during these times.

I am committed to building a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship, striving to empower clients to lead fulfilling and balanced lives. Through personalized therapeutic approaches, I help clients navigate their past experiences, build healthier relationships, and enhance their self-esteem.
My approach to counseling is rooted in compassion, empathy, and respect for each person's unique journey. I aim to create a non-judgmental, welcoming space where clients feel safe to express themselves and work through the challenges they face. Whether you are a child, adolescent, or adult, I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s ups and downs.
With extensive experience in a school setting, I understand the unique pressures and challenges faced by younger individuals today. I offer a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely and work through their concerns.

Samantha Roberson, MA, LLC
Therapy with a stranger can be intimidating and scary, especially for individuals starting for the first time. I aim to create an inviting space filled with warmth and comfort. A space a client can share their challenges and concerns without a fear of judgement and a space a client can feel seen and heard through empathy and unconditional positive regard.
I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. From children and adolescents to adults who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Grief, Family Dynamics, Self-Esteem, Emotional Dysregulation, Anger Management, Eating Disorders, and Sensory difficulties.
I received my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oakland University. As an LLC, I am serving clients under the direct supervision of a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Prior to my master’s program at Oakland University, I received my bachelor's degree in psychology, minor in family studies and minor in substance abuse disorders, treatments, and preventions from Central Michigan University.

Counseling Philosophy
Therapy is an inviting place where every single part of you is welcome, even the parts that are uncomfortable to share. There are two key factors that make counseling successful: empathy from the therapist and trust from the client. Once achieved, the healing process can begin.

Together, we can create a strong therapeutic alliance and work towards your goals and desired changes.

I enjoy working with a wide range of clients with varying backgrounds. The clients I typically see are children 5+, adolescents, and adults of any age.

Colleen Zito, MA, LLC, SCL
Counseling Philosophy
My approach is rooted in empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I believe the client is the expert in their own life; however, it takes a village to overcome life’s challenges. I help educate clients about their treatment and give them the tools to impact their daily lives positively. I aim to be a pillar of support to help clients meet their goals and lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
Counseling Orientation
My therapeutic orientation is primarily grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory. I aim to explore how negative thought patterns and beliefs can lead to unwanted behaviors and feelings; I seek to align my client’s thoughts, feelings, and actions with their goals. However, I will integrate several approaches if necessary—I believe each client has a unique identity, and my therapeutic interventions will be individualized to meet their goals. In addition, I am dedicated to applying techniques and interventions with a firm evidence base that supports the overall effectiveness and creates the change the clients seek.
Areas of Specialty
I enjoy working with a variety of clients, from children to adults. Specifically, I have a wealth of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and individuals with disabilities. Additional specialty areas include but are not limited to anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, adjustment issues, and trauma.
Qualifications
I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling from Oakland University. I am a Limited License Counselor (LLC) and receive direct supervision under a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). In addition, I am a fully licensed school counselor.
