Room to Talk

'Fall Fest'

On November 13th, our Room to Talk therapists, staff members, and board members gathered for our first annual Fall Fest. Together, we discussed exciting new updates to The Women's Center and brainstormed for the future. After our meeting, we enjoyed fun crafts, community conversation, and delicious food. We are so grateful to all of our therapists who do incredible work with clients all over the state of Michigan. It was lovely to spend time with everyone during this season of gratitude.

Thank you for Serving it Forward

Thank you so much to all who attended our 'Serve it Forward' Pickleball Mixer on October 3rd at Wolverine Pickleball! What an incredible night on the courts! Thanks to the energy, generosity, and community spirit of our sponsors and attendees, we raised funds to support and empower women+, girls, and families in achieving economic and emotional self-determination.

The night was filled with games of Pickleball, trivia, and exclusive food from Little Kim and Zingerman's Bakehouse. From friendly rallies and Round Robin games to fierce competition on the Challenge Court—it was inspiring to see our community come together to serve it forward in support of The Women’s Center of Southeastern Michigan.

Letters of Gratitude

From The Women's Center

Amid constant change in the broader world, I am struck by the steadiness of The Women’s Center community and how our shared vision and clarity of values provides a safe landing spot for hundreds of people each week. The ripple effect reaches far and wide, and has for 25 years. In just a few short weeks, we will cross the threshold of having trained over 300 therapist interns. I am deeply grateful to be one of them, and in celebration of this milestone, a few of our current interns have agreed to share what The Women’s Center has meant to them.

Thank you to everyone who has worked to make our community what it is today,

Katie Kidle

Clinical Director

Words from our Interns

“Spending time at The Women’s Center has given me so many unexpected reasons to be grateful. I knew I was entering a reputable internship program where I would learn how to become an effective therapist. What I didn’t expect was the compassionate support that was offered around my own healing and ways of being in relationship—something that became an immediate and pressing matter right as I began seeing clients. This work is vulnerable. It is challenging. It pokes our wounds. It asks us to step back, examine our interactions and patterns with calm compassion, and use that awareness to better support our clients’ growth. It asks us to stay committed to our own growth, even when that does not feel so great. I am deeply grateful to have learned this and so much more from the dedicated people at The Women’s Center. It is a gift I will carry with me for the rest of my life.”

“I am so grateful for the Women’s Center! As a grad student intern from across the country, I have felt not only immediately welcomed but truly supported in my professional journey. Every staff member I’ve met has shown such generosity, encouragement, and dedication to the work we do. It has been inspiring to learn from a team so deeply committed to client-centered care. Thankful beyond words!”

“I feel so fortunate to have landed at The Women's Center. This is a place that truly puts its practices in alignment with its values. As a graduate therapist intern, I feel deeply supported in a strengths-based, person-centered, relationally focused way, and it makes all the difference in my experience here. Group supervision meetings are a highlight of each week for me, where we gather with program directors, supervisors and interns for engaging and meaningful learning, sharing and support. The supervisors at The Women's Center bring dedication and decades of clinical and teaching experiences to our sessions, along with warmth, respect and encouragement. My time interning here is providing me with a carefully crafted foundation in a career committed to lifelong learning.”

Volunteer Open House

On November 10th, new volunteers joined us for a tour of our space, an engaging conversation about what we do and how we serve, and talked through opportunities to plug into the impact we have at The Women's Center.
