Online Therapy Across Michigan
Common Current Therapy provides online therapy for adults across Michigan, from Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids to Traverse City, Detroit, Kalamazoo, and every town in between, throughout the Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula. As a therapist licensed in Michigan (LMSW), I (Erin) work with adults navigating ADHD, C-PTSD, and anxiety using a neurodivergence-affirming, trauma-informed therapy approach that draws on IFS, EMDR, and somatic work. Because sessions are entirely virtual, you can work with me from home, your office, or wherever in Michigan feels most private and comfortable, no commute or waiting room required.
The aim is to let your flowing, expansive, and wildly ADHD mind feel welcome here through neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed care.
Michiganders need therapy that can meet them where they are
When venturing out on icy roads or through construction cones to get to an appointment feels like a nervous system nightmare, or when the comforts of home help you feel more supported to do the deep work, online therapy in Michigan lets you create the space you need.
You’re here because you are tired of driving over life’s potholes
You are exhausted from constantly bouncing between your renegade thoughts
Worrying and second-guessing every turn you make is a daily struggle
You can’t figure out why it feels like you are living your life on hard mode and everyone else is speeding by
People don’t seem to understand why you can’t just pull it together and stay in the lines
But what if therapy could help you follow your own path?
Your authentic self can start to emerge with the realization that you are not broken and you never were.
Online therapy in Michigan could have benefits across many life domains
SELF
✔ Understand your inner world instead of fighting it, including the parts of you that feel stuck, anxious, or "too much"
✔ Feel less at war with your own brain, especially if you feel behind, lazy, or broken
EMOTIONAL
✔ Move through big feelings with less shutting down or spiraling
✔ Transform trauma responses and patterns that keep repeating years later
PHYSICAL
✔ Notice your nervous system at more ease with less strain, tension, and pressure
✔ Accommodate the fluctuations in your capacity with periods of more rest and periods of more directed energy
SOCIAL/COMMUNITY
✔ Find spaces that allow you to feel understood and accepted instead of like you have to explain or hide yourself
✔ Set boundaries and show up in relationships without abandoning yourself to keep the peace
I help Michiganders with ADHD and complex trauma reconnect with their strengths and step more wholeheartedly into the beautifully bizarre and brilliant life they are craving.
Hi, I’m Erin Kehrier, LMSW

Common Current Therapy has roots in Michigan
I was born and raised in Ann Arbor and grew up going to football games and drinking cider and carving pumpkins for Halloween. Hitting the sledding slopes after a good snow, feeling the thrill when the first daffodils poke up from the thawing ground, and getting out on the water for a row or a pontoon cruise in the summertime.
I'm a proud product of both sides of the state's biggest rivalry: a Spartan from my years at MSU for undergrad, and a Wolverine from growing up in Ann Arbor and grad school at Michigan. Most of the time I cheer for both, but on rivalry day, there's no fence-sitting - I GO GREEN. Then the next day I support them both again. Whatcha gonna do?
Most of us carry some version of that, parts of ourselves that feel like they're battling and pulling in different directions, except there don’t have to be winners or losers here. In our work together, we'll help those parts come into more harmony with each other, so you feel less at war with yourself on the inside, and more able to show up as your whole self in your relationships and your life.
Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy in Michigan with Erin
-
There is no one cause for depression. Depression can come up because of situational factors – like overwhelming life transitions –even ones that seem positive on the surface. Depression can also be due to biological/genetic factors, the extended weight of trauma, being subject to oppressive systems, or lacking a sense of where we fit into the world.
Whether biological, environmental, or due to life stress, depression undermines your connection to yourself and your world. Therapy for depression can help you explore the sources of your depression and more safely reconnect to the important aspects of your life.
-
Depression treatment can vary from person to person. You may need a different combination of treatment approaches based on several individualized factors. Some of my clients take medication, and some do not. You may benefit from depression therapy alone, or you may need to work with a psychiatric prescriber to get medications that help with the severity of your symptoms in addition to therapy for depression.
While I am not a prescriber, we can explore your views on medication and treatments together to help you determine what treatment options you want to pursue. It is important that you feel empowered to make choices about your own care and feel supported as you try different options to discover what suits your needs.
-
While I cannot guarantee the same results for every client, in my years as a depression therapist, I have witnessed clients emerging from the depths of their depression, and I believe it is possible.
Whether you are new to therapy or have been in therapy before, I offer a variety of approaches to address your specific needs and current phase of depression recovery. I draw upon a large variety of modalities and approaches to best suit you and your treatment needs.
Some of these approaches include mindfulness, self-compassion, parts work, nervous system approaches, and exploring distorted thoughts, beliefs, and stories. I’m also skilled at supporting you in reprocessing past traumas that may be contributing to your depressive symptoms. If needed, I can support you in increasing assertiveness, boundaries, and connection to others, so that you can experience more meaning, community, and purpose in your life. Lastly, we will take your depression into account of your family and cultural system, and other societal factors that impact mental health.
Michiganders, your wonderfully weird life awaits you.
I’ll join you on your path as you uncover the parts of you that had to adapt to make it this far and help you rekindle your capacity to trust yourself and others.
Together we’ll begin to gently work with what’s blocking your access to your authentic self so you can reconnect with it and let that radiant energy shine.
If that sounds like your vibe…
