Trauma Focused Therapists in 48176

Welcome. As a clinician, it is an honor to walk beside you in your journey. I specialize in postpartum mood disorders (such as anxiety or depression), birth trauma, and recovering from spiritual abuse (such as leaving high demand religions or cults), and eating disorders. I am specifically trained in EMDR for trauma reprocessing and healing.

Becoming a parent can often feel like it isn’t all that you’ve dreamed, and this can feel isolating, worried that you are the only one experiencing hard times with your child. I can offer support if you are struggling with prenatal adjustment, new or heightened anxiety or depression or are experiencing difficulties connecting with your baby. I can help you manage overwhelming thoughts, or work through past trauma to be more present. If you have a young child who has struggles getting through the day or have concerns about their emotional development and you aren’t sure what else to do, I am here to help you figure out what is next.

Early childhood is a dynamic and transitional time that can feel simultaneously joyous and chaotic (for both the child and the parent!). Children sometimes experience a myriad of big feelings that feel difficult to cope with - here at Rise, we aim to provide support, skills, and resources to help you and your child navigate the challenges. We have three new-to-us therapists who are accepting new clients in January. We recognize the shortage of mental health professionals for young children and parents and are so happy to fill the gap!

I am a licensed psychologist and the clinical director of Sollars and Associates Integrative Counseling and Psychological Services. I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy for over 30 years in the Metro Detroit area and our group practice spans across the state of Michigan. With support, encouragement and expert insight many people begin to feel better after their first session.

An important aspect of any therapeutic relationship is the rapport and ease you have in discussing your issues and concerns with your therapist. I believe the right fit between the client and therapist is in large part a function of the flexibility in approach and ways of intervening with you as an individual client. I see the therapeutic relationship as being a collaborative partnership that is outcome focused in addressing your issues and concerns. The emphasis is on doing what is most effective in moving you toward your desired outcomes in the least amount of time possible.

Are you feeling sad, depressed, worried, fighting, arguing, anxious, feeling stuck, unhappy, having communication issues, inattention, concentration problems, social skills problems, low self confidence, relationship problems, or need crisis intervention? Have you experienced trauma? Do you want to enhance peek performance in sports or everyday life with the development of mental skills (concentration, imagery, self talk, etc.)? I worked with a diversity of problems including parenting skills, child behavior disorders, autism, marital discord, job finding skills, fears and nervous habits, stress, depression, assertiveness training, panic disorder, phobias, social skills deficit, emotional and behavioral problems. I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy.

Being a human being can be quite challenging! There's a saying about the mind: 'the mind is a good servant, but a cruel taskmaster!' Many of us never learned how to calm our minds, limit our worrying, and self-soothe. Mindfulness training is one of the most researched methods for learning to do this. My work with individuals helps them to become skilled in this way, and to lessen the grip of attitudes and beliefs that limit us in significant ways. I work with individuals in this way, as well as with groups.

I offer psychotherapy for adult individuals, college students, couples, parents, and adolescents. At the heart of my work is a belief that transformation is possible in an atmosphere of warmth, collaboration, and attunement. Clients in my practice deal with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, attentional problems, adjusting to stressors and life transitions, relationship struggles, and parenting difficulties. Others may not be experiencing significant symptoms, yet feel stuck in certain aspects of their life, career, or relationship.

I have 29 years’ experience helping adults to thrive, both in individual and couples therapy. My training includes Emotionally Focused Therapy (advanced) and the Gottman Method (through Level 2), both of which are evidence-based, empirically validated approaches. While at the Univ. of Mich. School of Soc. Work, I completed specialized training (including a post-grad. prog.) in the U/M Psychiatry Dept. Marital Clinic at the former Riverview Clinic. I also have 29 yrs. of training/experience treating complex trauma, including workshops with Bessel van der Kolk and at Gottman Institute in treatment of PTSD in couples work.

I provide individual and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of concerns, difficulties, and/or challenges. May you or your child be looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation, ready to move in a new direction in life, or want to develop increased insight into your self and your life, I look forward to working with you and/or your child to better understand and resolve personal or life challenges.

The decision to start therapy signals an interest and curiosity about becoming more grounded and present in our lives. Each of us has a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape who we are and how we experience relationships. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and draws on psychodynamic, sensorimotor, and mindfulness based modalities. I work with clients from a practical, here-and-now perspective while attending to the impact of relational, cultural, and early childhood experiences. I am Level 1 Basic Trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. I also work with grief & loss, depression, and body image/acceptance.

I have worked with adults and couples in a variety of settings, including college counseling, hospital emergency room and inpatient floors, forensic inpatient, and veteran's hospitals. I have experience with both acute and long-term trauma, adjustment to life stressors, couple's distress and relationship problems, depression, anxiety, panic, personality disorders, and substance abuse problems. I have also received expert training in many forms of evidence-based psychotherapy, and am particularly well-versed in CBT, DBT, Integrative Behavioral Couple's Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

In beginning a therapy, I first try to create an environment that is non-judgmental and accepting. Comfort and trust are indispensable for developing a strong working relationship in psychotherapy. During the course of therapy, I try to help identify and explore problem areas at face value at the time they are presented. I also stay attuned to dimensions of personal struggles that are not readily apparent.

Have you found yourself struggling to engage with day-to-day life in the way you would like to? Do you tend to avoid situations that stir up fear or anxiety? Do you often feel tense and on edge? These can be common experiences for people who struggle with anxiety and/or trauma. Unfortunately, these struggles can often lead us to live a more limited life than we would like and can cause us to feel stressed and isolated.

Our counselors are trained to help you identify what aspects of your life can be changed, and to support you in making those changes in ways that feel feasible to you. Together with your therapist, you will notice patterns, gain insights, find solutions, and discover hopeful new options. At Room to Talk, we offer flexible scheduling. In-person or online — whichever you are most comfortable with. We provide welcoming services to everyone, with attention to gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, ethnicity, race, and ability.
