My name is Lourdes Fonseca-Nearon. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Oakland University and a Master’s degree from Wayne State University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Life can be overwhelming, as there are many ups and downs. We are also pulled in many directions causing confusion and distress. Part of my role as a counselor is to help clients move forward, learn, and grow through life’s difficult times and get to the other side. My approach is to meet my clients where they are, listen to
their stories with compassion, and without judgment, and help them overcome their challenges and reach their goals. In my work, I draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches and theories, including Narrative, Humanistic, Person-Centered, and Liberation psychology. I also work with clients who are experiencing emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, transitions, and relational conflicts. I also worked in a corporate setting for many years and understand the stress that comes with this type of professional setting.
A little about my background, I am a native Detroiter, having been born and raised in the city. My parents immigrated from Mexico. I witnessed their sacrifices and hard work as they navigated their journey in a new country while starting a
family. Part of my family’s experience highlighted the needs of the immigrant community and their need to be heard and seen. I am both bilingual and bicultural.
I am married and am the mother of two adult children. My husband and I love to travel and often visit our family in Mexico. I also enjoy cooking and hiking. On a sunny day, you will find me in the garden tending to my collection of plants and flowers.
