Therapist
Counselor for Marriages and Adult Women at
Exclusively Providing Telehealth Services to Michigan residents.
Ann Arbor Michigan 48104
I specialize in marriage counseling and working individually with adult women on relationship issues, friendship issues or other difficulties. All my Teletherapy services are from a faith-based perspective for those who reside in Michigan.
I am passionate about helping people save their marriages because marriage is the foundation of the family and the family is the foundation of society and culture. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an effective, efficient way to help people not only survive marriage, but thrive in marriage.
While I am passionate about marriage therapy, and I truly believe that most powerful agent for change in the family is the marriage, I know that sometimes marriage therapy is not always possible or desirable. I also work with women who want to work individually. Sometimes women want to work on relationship issues, friendship issues or feelings of loneliness, or difficulties related to sense of being overwhelmed with the nosiness, busyness, and demands of modern life. Oftentimes women desire a quiet place to talk about their lives, themselves, and how they can grow closer to our Lord, how they can deepen their prayer life, and how they can have the peace that Jesus promises us in John 14:27 (RSVCE) when He says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
So, if you and your spouse are in conflict or want to rekindle your marriage, or you are an individual woman seeking wholeness, call me today.

My name is Nissa Chadwick. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Michigan. I am also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of New Mexico and in Colorado.
I graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy with an Emphasis in Religious Studies. Upon graduating I worked in child protection and became convinced that the difficulties that families had were primarily related to damaged attachment relationships. Sometimes these patterns of damage went back generations but there seemed too few means of healing these patterns.
After working in child protection for a couple of years I returned to school and obtained my Master’s Degree in Community Counseling with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Northern Colorado. I then began working as a Marriage and Family Therapist at a residential treatment center for children ages 4 to 12. My beliefs about the primacy of attachment in mental health, for better or worse, were further solidified. After a few years of working with kids and their families in residential treatment I had my daughter and left my position.
For over the past ten years, I have been teaching graduate level counseling and undergraduate psychology courses online which is what I have done since. I have taught at four Universities, three for most of the last ten years. I teach courses ranging from Marriage and Family Therapy, Advanced Family Systems Theory, Diversity in Family Systems, Diversity in Counseling, to Life Span Development and many more. I have continually taught my students about the primacy of attachment and the necessity of helping families by helping marriages first and foremost.
