We are a group of compassionate psychologists and licensed psychotherapists under the supervision of Stephanie Williams, PhD, LP who are dedicated to helping clients on their journey through life's multiple challenges. We strive to empower clients and to help them find their own personal path to self-fulfillment. Our goal is to assist clients in getting to the root of their challenges to make lasting changes in their lives and to help them help themselves over a lifetime. We believe it is never too late to accomplish your life goals.

I believe that we are all worthy of dignity, respect and love. This does not mean we have not suffered or experienced shame, guilt and loss-for things we have done and things that have been done to us. With you as the guide and me in a support role, I hope we can explore these issues so that healing and peace will occur. On this sometimes difficult and challenging journey, I hope we can get to work together to find resolution and understanding and come to the place where you are empowered to make new and healthier choices. Currently offering virtual appointments on evenings and weekends.

We all have the capacity for emotional healing. My role is to help each client overcome their own barriers and foster their own path to inner healing. As both a young girl and woman, I experienced my own emotional struggles and I know what it is like to feel hopeless and lost. Connection and feeling safe in therapy is vital before any changes can occur. Ensuring that clients feel comfortable expressing their innermost thoughts and feelings is my first priority. Treatment is tailored to each individual client. Therefore, I will use varied approaches until we find your best fit.

My goal in therapy is to provide my clients a safe, secure environment in which to explore their inner thoughts and emotions. Change can be a scary and vulnerable process, but through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I my hope that my clients establish a more comprehensive understanding of themselves and utilize healthy resources to cope with events that influence their lives. Together, within a trusting and supportive atmosphere, I hope to empower clients to achieve personal growth through awareness and recognition of their own unique perspectives and abilities.

We all experience transitional periods in our lives. Life transitions include graduation, marriage, child birth, career change, relocation, divorce, "empty-nest", retirement, and caring for elderly parents. When we experience a major life change, we wonder if we can handle it. You may have fears of being alone. You have too much on your plate or your future is uncertain. You feel overwhelmed with new responsibilities and overpowering emotions. During these times of adjustment it's normal to feel depressed or anxious. You may experience changes in sleep and appetite, become disorganized, or lose interest in things you once enjoyed.

I am a Clinical Social Worker that trained at the University of Michigan. I work with individuals, couples and families. I utilize cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic modalities in a client centered approach to facilitate change. I help people gain insight about their issues and facilitate behavioral, cognitive and emotional change. I believe that understanding the relationship between our thoughts and feelings is the key to changing our behavior. I consider the first two sessions an opportunity to gain insight into your issues as well as a chance for you to get to know me.

Life has many dilemmas, but at the same time, we have the strength to thrive, when supported through an engaging, therapeutic relationship. Through collaboration and insight, I will help you develop new skills and meaningful and lasting changes to achieve your dreams and aspirations. Specialties include depression and anxiety, relationship/family conflict, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, aging, caregiver stress, work issues, anger management, LGBTQ, infertility and pregnancy, ADHD, life transitions, parenting, divorce, coping skills, abuse (physical, sexual, and emotional), and illness management.

I specialize in working with tweens, teens, men, busy moms, and women business owners. I have found these populations are most resistant to asking for help, which is why my approach is so effective. I come from a corporate background before transitioning to integrative mental health care. I found that traditional talk therapy wasn’t doing the trick for me personally and so many people I knew. I studied how the brain and body work together for achieving a healthy and calm mind, which led me to my current practice at reset brain + body.

During this unprecedented time of crisis, taking care of your mental health is more important than ever. Online and telephone visits are a convenient and safe way to process the many emotions you may be experiencing at this time. Many insurances are waiving copays and deductibles for mental health visits through June 30th.

If you are feeling more overwhelmed, anxious, angry or depressed than you were before the pandemic, then congratulations, you have a functioning brain and nervous system! Please feel free to reach out to me if your capacity to deal with emotions or other people are compromised these days. Feeling calm or back in control is not an exercise in logic and rationality; if it were, people would not need therapists. I can assist you with noticing, understanding and regulating the often baffling, subtle/extreme responses that originate from the deepest, most primitive regions of your brain and nervous system so you can regain your footing.

Each person has an innate capacity for strength and change, and is worthy of a life filled with satisfaction and joy. Working together, we can explore thoughts, experiences, and choices that can lead to more fulfilling, life-enhancing actions. Whether dealing with a specific distressing issue, recurring problems, or general feelings of sadness, anxiety, or pain, I can help you find ways to reach your best potential for positive change.

It is possible to feel better and make changes in your life so you can thrive. I can help you increase your emotional understanding and self-awareness in order to develop the skills to recognize barriers and thought patterns that prevent you from feeling the way you want to feel. My role is to empower you so you are comfortable introducing changes that will move you toward the life you want to live. By increasing your understanding of past and present experiences, you can improve your relationships, mood, and overall well-being.

It takes strength to seek help. My goal is to build a safe, non-judgmental environment, where we can explore and find insight together. My special interests are in finding self-identity in changing circumstances. In particular, I have an interest in perinatal mood disorders such as postpartum depression and have conducted research in this area. Mostly, I work with adults and adolescents (ages 12+) who are experiencing anxiety, depression and/or dealing with trauma.

Being human can come with many ups and downs. There can be beautiful moments that bring us great joy, and there can also be dark times that can bring deep pain. My goal is to be there for you through all of the hardships and joys that your life has to offer. It would be my honor to work with you and join you on this journey. Therapy is a process, and wherever it goes, I will be there for you.

Do you feel overwhelmed by work, school, or family responsibilities? Is depression or anxiety holding you back from reaching your goals? Are you feeling stuck in unfulfilling relationships? I believe that everyone struggles with navigating life's challenges at some point, and we all could use some assistance in creating a more fulfilling and joyful life. I provide a safe and collaborative environment for clients to explore their feelings and discuss their struggles. I work together with clients to find creative solutions to their problems and to apply those solutions to their real-life situations.

Hello! I work with a wide range of individuals to assist them in addressing issues and motivate them to make the changes they wish to see in themselves.With utilization of CBT techniques, a supportive and strengthening approach, and a relaxed atmosphere, I assist my clients in recognizing and implementing therapeutic approaches to obtain their goals, by addressing their entire self, through use of a holistic approach to find balance of emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functioning. This allows for feedback and criticism from the client to aid in finding approaches that will be the most beneficial and easiest changes to implement into their everyday lives.

We all need help, sometimes. Stepping Stones Wellness is a group of licensed, practiced, and professional therapists who employ a holistic approach to to help others heal from anxiety, depression, chemical use/dependence, grief and loss, disordered eating, and relationship issues under the clinical direction of Denise L. Brooks, PsyD, LP. We provide safe, private and confidential counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, families, couples, and adolescents designed to heal childhood trauma, adjust to loss, recover from substance abuse or dependence, disordered eating, and relationship difficulties in a safe, non-judgmental space that promotes greater peace of mind and self-acceptance.

Anger, sadness, grief, anxiety…these overwhelming emotions can wreak havoc on our lives if we do not process through them and relate to them in a healthy way. Many times our problems stem from not only actual stress in our lives but our internal response to that stress. As a psychologist with years of experience working with Veterans, trauma, anger, depression and emotional dysregulation I want to help you learn how to experience internal discomfort, whether that be emotions or thoughts, in a way that allows you to grow in life instead of stall.

Psychotherapy is a process that should generate meaning and self-understanding in a dialogue between client and clinician. In starting this process, it is my goal to provide you with a space that emphasizes empathy, non-judgement, and confidentiality. These concepts help create the environment in which you can express any thought or feeling that comes up, whether it be positive, negative, or somewhere in-between. I work with clients presenting with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, and relational/family issues to help them gain insight into their behaviors and feelings.

I received my Master of Arts degree in counseling from Siena Heights University. I specialize in working with children and adolescents. I have a background in counseling children and adolescents with depression, anxiety, school problems, gender identity issues, high functioning Autism, and trauma. I provide support to parents who may not know how to handle difficult situations in the home, and family therapy to help families communicate. I also provide individual counseling to adults as well who may be having difficulty with depression, anxiety, life changes and past trauma.
