Amy Marzulla, LMSW
We live in a complex and often overwhelming world. It's easy to feel disconnected, from ourselves, from others, from a sense of purpose or calm. But it is possible to reconnect in a deeper, more meaningful way.
In-person in Ann Arbor, MI and telehealth for anywhere in Michigan.
Together, we can explore how to find steadiness in the midst of what can't be controlled, and how to create real, lasting change where it's possible and needed.
I work with people who feel depressed, anxious, stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or shut down. This includes those navigating suicidal thoughts or urges, or engaging in high-risk behaviors.
I work with adults, as well as teens (age 13 and above). I am intentional in creating space that is trauma-informed and affirming of all parts of you, as well as open to folks who are LGBTQIA+, disabled, and/or neurodivergent.
Services
Creating space for healing and growth
Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or a major life transition, individual therapy provides a supportive environment to explore. We'll work together to clarify what matters most to you, and develop strategies that bring more balance and meaning to your life.
Supporting stronger connections and understanding
I recognize the unique vulnerabilities and challenges of the lives of adolescents, and work to take great care in the therapy process to collaboratively work to find helpful and caring pathways to healing and wellness. This also includes intentional and consent-based work in navigating and supporting the caregiver relationship with both the adolescent and their therapy-space.
Centering collaborative care towards safety and stability
Suicidal thoughts, feelings and behaviors are present as a way to cope. I provide best-practice, collaborative care to understand the suicide-story, and move towards a life worth living. I work to have honest conversations and create collaborative care-plans with those I work with. I understand that the use of the police and hospital-systems can often be traumatic and increase risk. I offer aftercare and crisis care on an individual basis, through explicit and mutual conversation and agreement.
How I work
I am engaged in extensive training and consultation in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), and I am certified in Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS). I draw from these approaches not as fixed formulas but as flexible tools, shaped by who you are and what you're carrying.
Building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
Helping you build psychological flexibility and take action in alignment with your values.
A structured, compassionate framework to address suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
For adolescents and their caregivers, to strengthen trust, communication, and emotional connection.
Emotions don't just live in our minds, they're felt in our bodies. Together, we'll gently explore how your body holds stress, pain, and resilience, and learn ways to access grounding, safety, and regulation. I understand the innate connection between our thoughts, the feelings in our bodies, and our natural environment, and my practice often involves noticing this connection.
About
I have a deep interest and talent in making space for the pain in living, while using my training and learnings of evidence-based interventions to help folks transform their lives to feel more free, connected and worth living.
I understand that healing and transformed living involves more than just our thoughts and our own behaviors, but also in our relationships and the spaces we exist in. I have been engaged in community crisis response and advocacy since 2006, and I believe that individual and community crisis is rooted in the impact of the oppressive systems that we live and work within.
Why Morrowroot
Morrowroot is a word that I made up to honor and acknowledge the effort to live a values-based life into the future (tomorrow), while being grounded, or rooted, in the present.
Like roots beneath the soil, change often happens before we see it. And even in darkness, things can grow.
