Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 48104

4/10/2024 - I currently have immediate in person and virtual openings! I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have provided individual and group care to individuals struggling with various concerns, including life transitions, eating disorders, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I integrate evidence-based treatment approaches, including CBT skills and DBT skills, with passion, empathy, and support to assist my clients in reaching their goals and being their best possible selves.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, or shame? Do you wish you felt more empowered to set boundaries and say “no” in relationships? Are you stuck in unhelpful patterns or burdened by reminders of the past? As a therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with these questions and more. I enjoy working with people with a wide range of concerns, such as relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, grief, anxiety, OCD, and depression. In my work, I help individuals strengthen their mindful awareness of emotions and patterns in relationships.

Now Accepting Clients. Available for post-hospitalization appointments starting June ‘24. Let's work with your brain, not against it! I can help you make sense of how your mind works and why it does what it does. Our sessions will focus on getting you closer to the life you want using cognitive science, techniques from evidence-based therapies (primarily DBT, ACT, CBT), and your unique expertise on your own experience.

I have had the privilege to assist clients with anxiety, depression and general mental health concerns as well as compulsive sexual behaviors, chemical and process/ behavioral addictions in a variety of settings including addiction treatment services with Dawn Farm's community of programs.

Life is a journey and there are many ups and downs that confront us. The most optimal way to resolve situations is to seek the strength that is within and bring out its positive energy. I have over 25 years of experience working in the field of mental health. With simple holistic methods I offer solutions to enhance your life by helping you resolve your concerns. Whether it's your children, career, your relationships that is important to you, you will be helped to develop habits and skills to effectively deal with the challenges you may encounter in life.

Life can be hard at times, and often very unpredictable. We may find ourselves not equipped with the tools we need to process all of life's challenges, or we may just need safe space to talk through the issues that arise. I believe in creating a collaborative space where my clients feel safe, secure and not judged to explore areas and skills to help you live your best life.

Hello and welcome! I’m excited you’re considering therapy to help you on your journey and am honored you are here. I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, educational stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.

The challenges we experience everyday can be overwhelming. I believe that therapy can be a safe environment to help foster growth, healing, and support. I strive to provide that safe therapeutic space where we can work collaboratively to allow you to freely explore, question, and process to help you achieve the quality of life that you desire and deserve. My research has been in parenting. I enjoy working with parents, helping them understand their current parenting styles, and working together to constructively modify their skills to help them build a stronger, positive relationship with their children.

In a safe and nonjudgmental environment, I strive to create a collaborative and trusting relationship with my clients. Based on the practices of DBT, CBT and a strength-based approach, my goal is to help you work toward an enhanced sense of well-being, self-confidence, and personal satisfaction.

I specialize in working with adults 18 +. I particularly enjoy working with clients who struggle with anxiety related concerns, OCD, eating disorders, self-esteem difficulties, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, transitional stress, and anger management. I love working with clients who are looking for a safe space to process and who also have motivation to see themselves grow. My counseling style is person-centered and designed to meet each client where they are, while providing evidence-based tools to help them reach their goals. I value empowering clients and building them up while helping them reach their goals.

With a dynamic professional background spanning New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, and Melbourne, Australia. I bring extensive experience as a dedicated therapist. My journey through the performing arts, fashion, technology, and non-profit sectors has provided me with a unique perspective on personal growth and transformation. In my therapeutic approach, I prioritize creating a safe, culturally sensitive, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their inner selves. My commitment to empathy and trust is unwavering, and I believe in the power of collaboration on the journey towards healing and self-discovery.

As a queer person, I aim to serve LGBTQIA2S+ clients as much as possible. I also work with those outside the queer community, especially those struggling with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, big emotions, and a history of trauma; I work with BPD but not through a certified DBT program. I aim to highlight each client's individual strengths and existing skills to build off of. My desire is to create a space where you feel you can be open, and your successes are celebrated. My ideal client is someone motivated for weekly therapy, putting in a focused effort to learn to utilize coping skills, self-reflection, and behavior changes.

Maybe you've been thinking of trying therapy for a while, or have almost given up that it could work for you. I'd love to help you see the beauty in accepting that, as in life, it’s okay to not "get it right" the first time. I enjoy reactivating hope in people to see the potential in themselves and in others. You don't have to try making changes on your own.

New Client openings are now available! - Therapy works best when we seek to balance acceptance and change. This approach allows us to gain insight and understanding regarding our emotional patterns, relationships, and other life circumstances as well as build practical skills that can be used in the present moment to navigate life more effectively. I seek to bring a validating, collaborative approach to therapy, helping you to make the changes you want with sensitivity, humor, and respect.

I work to create an affirming space to explore yourself and your identity, to process your emotions and experiences, and to support you in difficult moments, including navigating conflict with family and friends. My ideal client is someone motivated to participate in weekly therapy who wants to put in a focused effort to learn to utilize coping skills, self-reflection, and process difficult emotions and experiences. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where you feel comfortable to express yourself fully.

You’re a little different. You’re seeking more out of life than mainstream society implies is possible. Perhaps you’ve always felt that there’s some piece missing but you can’t put your finger on it, or that you have a calling that you haven’t discovered yet. You feel things strongly. You may have been told that you feel things too much, or that you are too much. Maybe you’re looking for a better way to live with anxiety, depression, a trauma history, or an illness you can’t make sense of. Maybe you’re not sure what’s wrong, but you know things aren’t quite right. You wonder if there’s anyone else like you. I’m so glad you're here.

I typically work with adults & young adults as they work to face transitions, build confidence, and manage difficult emotions. I specialize in anxiety, particularly social anxiety and worry, and issues with relationships, assertiveness, and self-confidence. I will provide you a safe space within an authentic relationship to work through these challenges. I've been trained in multiple therapy modalities, bringing to our work an eclectic and flexible approach. I can help you build insight and incorporate an understanding of your past into skills that will help you to thrive and become your best self today.

The late comedian Harris Wittels once said, "we are all wonderful and horrible and figuring it out"; this statement is the basis for my approach to therapy. Before I decided to pursue a career in psychotherapy, I worked in comedy - rising in the administrative ranks at the famed Second City theater in Chicago. Working in the arts taught me compassion, creativity, the power of collaboration, and cultivated in me the ability to improvise. I'm excited to meet you where you are and hope to have the honor of walking alongside you wherever you lead. You are deserving of peace and joy - we can find them together.

My goal is to help human beings enhance their well-being and make positive changes in order to live a life worth living. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
