Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 48084

In 30 years of private practice, I have learned some basic truths about people: each person is a unique individual, is attempting to do the best they can with their circumstances and abilities, seeks recognition and validation of their worth, desires a sense of belonging and purpose, and has an inner source of empowerment and health that can be accessed. I am an actively engaged, compassionate therapist, addressing the difficulties of adult life: anxiety, relationships, marriage, loneliness, anger, depression, addictions, not fulfilling one's dreams, coping with illness, loss and death, struggles with creativity and spirituality.

You are likely considering therapy or counseling for yourself, a family member, or a friend. A person considers treatment for two reasons. Either you are reacting to an immediate event or crisis in your life, or have been thinking about addressing ongoing issues. My approach to therapy is empathic, interactive and rooted in time-tested techniques that produce deep, long-lasting change. Numerous studies have shown that results in therapy have less to do with a particular "brand" of therapy, and more to do with an outgrowth of the quality of relationship between a skilled practitioner and an invested patient.

Depression can feel like living in a deep, dark hole. You may have no energy, no hope that things will improve. You may be hearing some of the lies that depression tells us; it will never get better, you've already tried everything, why bother, you're always going to feel this way. Depression may tell you that you aren't strong enough to make changes in your life. Depression can drain the joy out of a sunny day, leaving you feeling hopeless and exhausted.
