It is an honor to accompany individuals into the psyche where our deepest wounds are sometimes hidden. Healing energies can often be found in those depths, stimulating growth toward a more whole, authentic and satisfying existence. Sometimes the pain is on the surface, and symptom relief is necessary to allow the individual to return to a more effective functioning level. This can be accomplished through a combination of cognitive approaches (i.e., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and body-centered approaches (i.e., focusing, embodied dream work, mindfulness).

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. I listen deeply to my clients and work collaboratively to facilitate change. I bring a warm and intuitive approach to complement 20+ years of clinical experience, so you can expect to feel seen and heard while you open up to the therapeutic process.

I address the impact that neurodiversity has on individuals, couples & families. Autistic & ADHD clients' benefit and thrive from having this awareness in the therapy room.

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.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is co-constructed and my foundational goal is to hold a warm, welcoming, non judgmental, and affirming space that allows people to show up safely and authentically in their efforts to seek support. I also look for opportunities to center clients' inherent strengths, wisdom, cultural values, and lived experiences to inform my clinical approach. I have had the privilege of providing therapeutic support to people with a broad range of intersecting identities, with a specific focus on supporting the psychological wellness of folks within the African diaspora.

Weathering the various 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 behaving 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?

As your therapist, I strive to empower you to overcome personal challenges, activate your inner resources, develop a deeper level of trust in your self and your inherent potential, and reclaim ownership of your life and purpose.

Improved emotional intelligence, mindful self-awareness, communication skills, trauma and grief processing---will support you in developing self-compassion, eliminating personal obstacles, coping with your daily life, and finding a more balanced, attuned, and connected way of being.
