At Stories Unfold Counseling Services, we believe every individual holds a rich, unfolding story within themselves.
Often, difficult experiences, societal pressures, and internalized shame push vital parts of this story aside. Our mission is to affirm and support you through the courageous journey of self-exploration, helping you reconnect with those neglected or hidden facets of your identity.
Hi there, meet our therapists – the hearts behind Stories Unfold Counseling Services.
Kathleen McMahon, MA, LPC
Individual, Relationship, and Sex Therapy | Supervision & Consultation
My approach is body-based, relational, and deeply affirming. I blend somatic practices, psychotherapy, parts work, and sex therapy available when desired, supporting people in feeling understood, connected, and whole. I’m especially passionate about working with C-PTSD, attachment patterns, anxiety, and identity exploration.
Alexandra Treat, MA, LPC
Individual AND RELATIONSHIP Therapy
I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic Therapy in my practice; however, I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each individual client. I believe that counseling is not a 'one size fits all' process, and I work collaboratively with clients to determine which therapeutic methods are most effective for their personal growth and healing.
My approach blends mindfulness, CBT, and creative expression. I help clients move through anxiety, transitions, and relationship struggles with greater clarity and resilience. Through journaling, expressive work, and experiential activities, I offer a supportive space for growth, healing, and empowerment.

Individual Therapy
Based in Utica, Michigan, we offer affirming and trauma-informed individual therapy, relationship therapy, and sex therapy to help you find:
A Safe Exploration Space
We create an environment where vulnerability is met with respect and understanding. Together, we'll gently uncover the narratives you've set aside, exploring them without fear of judgment.
Strength Through Compassion
Difficult or shamed aspects of yourself are not flaws but clues to deeper truths. We approach these elements with compassion, helping you reinterpret them as sources of strength and insight.
Empowered Self-Discovery
Through tailored therapeutic techniques, we'll guide you toward your most authentic self — supporting you as you integrate these rediscovered parts into a more cohesive, ideal identity.
Stories Unfold Counseling Services also offers consultation and supervision for other LPCs in the state of Michigan.
