Francesca Scaccia, MA, LLC
Counseling orientation and Philosophy: Francesca’s theoretical foundation is based on an integrative approach, drawing from various theoretical orientations including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory, and humanistic-existential approaches, as well as client centered approaches. She believes that we can control the course of our lives and take ownership of our decisions. In her counseling approach, she utilizes direct theoretical techniques to aid the client in developing self-awareness. Francesca attaches great importance to the fact that counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and the client to support change. A collaborative counseling approach improves communication, increases positive results, guides treatment, and—most importantly—discovers the client's objectives. Because of this, the counselor provides a secure environment for their clients and attends to their needs. Every client receives support that is specifically tailored to meet their needs. There are different counseling modalities, therefore she will work with the client to find the one that will help them most effectively.
Areas of specialty: Francesca has assisted adults and adolescents in individual therapy sessions with concerns regarding anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma-related difficulties, anger management and adjusting to life struggles.
Qualifications: I am a Limited Licensed Counselor (LLC), with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health and Counseling from Oakland University. Prior to that, I obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Oakland university
Office location: Francesca holds in person appointments out of our Troy office as well as telehealth appointments.

How are you…really?
Maybe you can’t recall the last time someone genuinely asked, or perhaps the question caught you off guard, leaving you unsure of how to respond. Either way, lately, you haven’t been feeling like your usual self—as if you’re shedding old skin and evolving into a new version of yourself. If you find yourself nodding along to this, know that I am here to support you as you venture into uncharted territory.
As someone who values their identity as both bi-racial and non-binary, I deliver intersectional, affirming mental health care that embraces neurodiversity and caters to the unique experiences of adults within the LGBTQIA+ community and parents/guardians of LGBTQIA+ children, as well as those facing grief, loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, a new phase of life, or identity-related struggles. I happily assist those in need of letters supporting their gender-affirming healthcare journeys.
My therapeutic approach blends self-compassion and mindfulness with various evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also integrate somatic techniques and am trained in Critical Memory Integration.
If I seem like the right fit, don’t hesitate to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you.
Office Location: Liala holds in-person appointments out of our Troy office as well as telehealth appointments.

McKenzie Miller, MA, LPC
Starting or continuing therapy can be an intimidating process while finding the best fit therapist for you and your journey. I appreciate your vulnerability with seeking help and I hope we can create a great team for whatever you’d like to work on.
I am a board certified Licensed Professional Counselor that works with mostly teens and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD although I expand to many different reasons someone would seek therapy. I aim to be inclusive in my practice and to create a comfortable atmosphere for us to work together on attainable goals you set for yourself. I am here to support you on your journey with compassion and experience. Therapy can be intimidating, but I strive to make it a comfortable experience for you and to take things at your own pace.
Small goals are key to help you grow into the person you want to be and be able to make life changes that suit you and your journey. I view therapy as a team between you and I to work together on a treatment plan that works best for you. I use mindfulness and evidence based techniques throughout our sessions learned from my education at Wayne State University and ongoing certifications and trainings.

Evan O'Hara, MA, LLC
Culminating at the intersection of countless factors and identities, our lives are complex, multifaceted, and ever-changing, leaving us with the difficult task of navigating our lived experiences. My goal as a counselor is to help you strengthen your understanding of yourself and equip you with the tools and insight to let you live your most fulfilled life. I look to manifest this reality by holding a space for clients that offers safety and fosters growth.
In the counseling process, I employ an integrative approach, utilizing humanist, existential, and psychodynamic approaches to create an in-depth and multifaceted experience for my clients. Each individual’s life is a unique experience that deserves to be heard and understood. Moreso, the narrative that this life affords us is something we deserve to be in control of. Through a process focused on strengthening both the insight and agency one has over one's own life and narrative, I seek to create a counseling space that encourages growth, empowerment, and inner peace.
I am currently a student in Oakland University’s mental health counseling program, finishing my program as an intern at Tree of Life. I have also completed a BA and MA in communication from Oakland University and worked in many career paths prior. I look forward to utilizing all the insights I have gained over my life experience to enhance my understanding of you and your story.
Office Location: I offer in-person appointments in our Rochester Hills office and telehealth appointments.
