For children and families, I help them navigate the challenges of a medical situation by getting children to understand specific medical procedures and diagnosis, encourage them to be an active participant in their treatment. I also support them to express feelings over their illness, or the illness of their sibling, parents and other family members. For adult clients, I provide 'Pause and Reflect Coaching' service that through dialogue and creative means, (i.e. dance/ movement, role play etc), I facilitate opportunities for you to listen to your heart and make new decisions towards finding meaning in your next chapter in life.

Does your mind ever feel like it just won’t turn off? Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of overthinking, waking up with a tight chest, or bracing yourself for another wave of panic. You might look calm on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside—constantly worrying about school, work, your health, your future... or just life in general.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep pushing through it on your own!

Hello All. My name is Bob Schetter and if you are seeking help in your personal life with issues of disability, past incarceration, trauma, or early relationship issues you've come to the right place. My professional life has been dictated by careers with the Developmentally Disabled, and forensic interventions at state prisons. Personally, I have overcome issues of disability due to a birth defect and have used the creative arts to help reduce anxiety and present myself to the world. Artistic Therapy is a degree I created at the University of Michigan and I support engagement in the Arts as a path to self fulfillment.

Weathering the many stressors, anxieties, and turbulent waves of emotions that life has a way of throwing at us can take a tremendous toll on our ability to maintain a sense of stability. In the face of these challenges, it's easy to find ourselves slipping into patterns of behavior that may offer momentary relief, but only increase our suffering in the long term and take us away from being the people we want to be. What if there was a way that we could learn to exist more harmoniously in the face of our pain and not feel we had to compromise the things that mattered most to us?

Our relationships with others and growing up include really profound and beautiful experiences; and, our experiences can also leave us feeling stuck, afraid, and angry. This can be especially true when we are BIPOC-identified, are the children of immigrants or first-generation immigrants ourselves, identify as LGBTQIA+, and/or have other marginalized identities. Common concerns endorsed by my clients include imposter syndrome, perfectionism, body image issues, difficulty with safety and trust in relationships, low self-esteem, and persistent anxiety and depression.

Do you often feel worried, confused, down or overwhelmed? Do relationships feel like a struggle? Do you focus so much on others that you forget to care for yourself? Do you struggle with making decisions in your best interest? Are you ready to set aside time to rediscover you?

A valuable lesson I received in therapy was that not listening to my intuition led to distress. Many of us disregard our inner voice in favor of external messages containing judgments about our size, race, gender, sexual orientation, and how we express our emotions. This attempt to cope with the world around us and to fit in leads us to devalue and move further from our true selves. I help my clients sift through these messages to find their voice again and move closer to their authentic selves. When we begin to know ourselves better, we can navigate through the world more confidently and build more genuine relationships.

My vision is to see people be able to connect with a deep inner peace and have thriving relationships. It has meant the world to me to have someone see into my life and offer a different perspective—a person to hold a mirror up and model what it’s like to extend forgiveness, acceptance, and belief. I want to “pay it forward” so to speak, and continue to provide to others what has been life changing for me: to be seen, known, cherished, and challenged.

I specialize in working with people who have complicated relationships with their bodies. My patients come to me because they are interested in: addressing disordered eating and body image issues; learning to live better with medical problems; reconsidering their use of alcohol and drugs; or learning to live in their bodies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or non-binary individuals. Many of my patients have also been through difficult or even traumatic events, that at times have made their bodies feel unsafe. I help my patients to reestablish a sense of trust and safety in their bodies.
