Nikki Davis, Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern
Hello, my name is Nikki, and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern at Tree of Life Counseling! I believe that every individual has the innate ability to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their lives. In our work together, my goal is to provide a collaborative and supportive space where you feel respected, seen, and heard. I recognize that you are the expert of your own life, and I am here to walk alongside you in your counseling journey.
My approach to therapy is compassionate, non-judgmental, and personalized to your unique needs and experiences. I use an integrative and eclectic style, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and mindfulness-based techniques. This allows me to tailor counseling to each individual in a way that feels supportive and effective.
I am especially passionate about working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. While therapy can sometimes feel challenging, I believe it also provides an opportunity for growth, empowerment, and meaningful change. Together, we will work toward your goals to enhance your overall well-being and quality of life.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Oakland University, with an expected graduation in April 2026. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology: Behavioral Science, with minors in Addiction Studies and Criminal Justice Studies.
Office Location: Nikki offers in-person appointments in our Livonia office and telehealth appointments.

Lavon Shina, MA, LLC
Counseling Philosophy
Life is too short to let trauma control us or be anxious all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain and to find meaning/purpose in all areas of your life. I can help you find healing and understanding in desperate situations while enjoying the process as much as possible. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story and each story is compelling.
Counseling Orientation
In terms of therapeutic technique and strategy, one size definitely does not fit all. I often use Integrative therapy which involves selecting the techniques from different types of therapy that are best suited to a client's particular problem. I work with clients from a broad range of backgrounds. I work with adults 18 and older. I also work with clients who would like to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process only through the request/desire of my client. My goal in therapy is to create a safe, non-judgmental, empowering, & empathetic space. I specialize in Trauma and PTSD, Life Transitions, Codependency, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, and childhood traumas. Together we will work on developing coping skills, problem-solving skills & different ways of thinking to help you work through life’s challenges. Calling a therapist can be nerve-wracking, but I hope you will take a moment to reach out and see how I can help you.
Qualifications

Stephanie Roffi, MA, LPC
Counseling Philosophy:
Everyone we encounter is a product of the intersections in their lives. We as humans are extremely complex so it is difficult to reduce an individual to simply one label. If humans are that complex, that also means our journey toward growth and healing can be just as complex. Facing our growing edges day to day can feel overwhelming, sometimes it helps to have someone there to bounce ideas off of, emphasize our strengths, and uncover our blind spots along the way. My goal first and foremost is to provide a safe, welcoming, authentic environment for you to explore all of these things without fear of judgment.
Counseling Orientation:
My approach to counseling consists of an integrative lens that emphasizes intersectionality, authenticity, self-actualization, and ultimately congruency. I gravitate toward a number of theoretical frameworks including, but not limited to humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, somatic, and queer feminist perspectives. At the end of the day, the counseling process is a collaborative journey to achieve the agreed-upon therapy milestones. The therapy you receive is always personalized based on your individual goals and needs.
Areas of Specialties:
I work with a wide array of clients where we can openly explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, trauma, grief, issues related to traumatic brain injury, stress management, addiction, identity exploration, LGBTQIA+, family dynamics, and overall life transitions. I work well with all ages and demographics.
Qualifications:
I am currently a Limited Licensed Counselor who practices under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated in the summer of 2022 with my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oakland University. In conjunction with counseling, I have a wealth of experience working in Neurotherapy for six years, including neurofeedback, neuromodulation, and biofeedback. My background also consists of work within the non-profit and music sectors. I am currently a standing member of the American Counseling Association (ACA).

Cassandra Isley, MA, LLC
Counseling Philosophy
Difficult and trying times confront us all, as all of us are heavily impacted by our various environments, personal histories, biological traits, and cultural expectations. It is no wonder that we can be overwhelmed by the difficulties life presents. Nevertheless, although life can be difficult, learning new coping strategies can help us become better at handling the hard stuff, helping us discover ways of personal wellness and growth despite the difficulties.
Counseling Orientation
I personally have benefited greatly from counseling. My past experiences inspired my passion to develop the skills to help others as I was once helped. Empathy is the primary pillar of the counseling profession. Thus, I believe creating a non-judgmental and confidential space, where complex emotions and fears are discussed and normalized, is the recipe for counseling success. I use a vast variety of techniques and theories to encourage clients to build self-awareness and self-advocacy. Each client is unique, therefore each counseling experience is unique. There is no singular theory or technique that works for everyone.
Qualifications
I am a Limited License Counselor (LLC). Subsequent to my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan in 2009, I completed my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling with a specialization in substance abuse from Wayne State University in 2015. Along with my experience with adolescents, I also have worked with adults facing various issues, from anxiety and depression to grief and relationship issues.
