About Margarethe Kerlin

Hi there!! I’m Margarethe, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan, and I’ve been diving into the world of therapy since 2019. In that time, I’ve had the chance to work with some incredible people, gaining experience in addiction treatment (with Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT) and earning my CAADC certification. I’ve also done a deep dive into all things ADHD, so I can offer evaluations and support for those looking for answers—I even have my ADHD-CCSP certification!

I get it—starting therapy is a big deal, and it takes a lot of courage to put your mental health first. I’m here to cheer you on for that! My mission is to make sure you feel safe, supported, and totally comfortable as we go through this journey together.

Everyone’s story is unique, and therapy should reflect that. I take a person-centered approach, which means I meet you right where you are in life, offering warmth, empathy, and a safe space where you can let your guard down (because being vulnerable is tough, I know!).

Over the years, I’ve worked with folks dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and women’s issues, and I’m especially passionate about supporting those who identify as women. My practice is all about creating an inclusive, welcoming space where everyone can feel seen and heard.

I’m genuinely excited to potentially join you on your journey toward a future where you can thrive—and have a little fun along the way! Let’s do this!
