Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”- Carl Jung. This powerful quote embodies the transformative journey that therapy can offer. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Art Therapist, I am dedicated to helping clients tap into their inner resilience and embrace the possibility of change. My clinical methodologies are grounded in cognitive behavioral, person centered, acceptance and commitment therapy, and existential approaches, which I blend to create a customized therapeutic experience for each client. As an Art Therapist, I utilize creative expression as a valuable tool for self-discovery and growth.

I enjoy working with individuals of different ages, ethnicity, in need of individual, couples or family sessions. I believe that life is a journey, which at times, can be very challenging. Sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads, trying to decide our direction. Staying on familiar paths can be easier yet repetitive and stagnant. Growth means change and following new paths, though unfamiliar and with unseen risks. Therapy can help one believe in themselves and try new paths, with the therapist lighting the way.

Welcome to my Practice. I have been in private practice for 40 years. I have been providing Psychotherapy and Parent guidance and child Psychoanalysis. I specialize in adoption, trauma, depression and anxiety. Managing the pandemic has become especially needed as so of us many are facing Coronavirus related issues and difficulties that increase anxiety and depression. In addition to seeing patients individually, I provide consultation services to pre-schools, day care centers, grief support groups, teachers and social service agencies. I am available currently exclusively on Telehealth platforms and by phone.

I specialize in students of all ages who are not working at their potential. These include individuals with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Aspergers Syndrome, Work or School-related Anxiety, Gifted Learning Challenges, or Unconventional Learning Styles. Thirty years in public education has provided me with the experience to teach strategies to the student, and to recommend individualized accommodations and modifications to parents and educators. I also provide short-term counseling to rebuild self-esteem and motivation. I focus on the student's inherent gifts and am an advocate for the student.

I have experience working with a diverse array of clients from varying backgrounds with unique concerns. I enjoy working with couples, children, and adults, primarily those who have experienced trauma, the grief associated with a loss, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. My style and approach are personalized based on your needs, but are typically solution focused and rooted in empathy, partnership, and humor.

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.

I often view therapy like treating an ailment—it takes some time to heal and feel better. After a while, you regain your strength and feel like yourself again. Experiencing stressors or mental health troubles can make day-to-day functioning difficult. Therapy is a way to help navigate through life in a way that best suits your needs. This experience is cultivated between a therapist and client to work towards one's goals and the process of healing. This journey can be difficult on your own, so there is no shame nor judgement in asking for help.

Seeking connection is an integral part of being a human being. Often times our primary relationships with family members do not provide the connection that helps us feel the love and peace that we deserve. Through the therapeutic process, we can learn about how to seek relationships and connections that can bring this happiness to our lives. Sometimes this may mean creating boundaries with family members or friends or possibly ending those relationships we deem unhealthy. Through counseling, we are able to restore ourselves and our "families." This may mean our families of origin or simply the friends that we have chosen as our family.

I love working with youth who have been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or significant behavioral difficulties. I enjoy angry kids, or kids that feel misunderstood. My approach is non-traditional, and it works well with kids who have had bad experiences in therapy, or hate the concept of therapy in general. I also tend to have good success with folks who struggle with anxiety, depression, autism, and low self-esteem.

I offer clients a safe space to share, open up and work on growing. You're reaching out for your own self care is the first most important but most difficult step… and is to be admired. Whether you are calling for yourself or for your child, I am here for you to listen non-judgmentally and to get to the root of the issue. I work with adults, children, and teens utilizing various treatment approaches including CBT behavioral approaches, play and art therapy, DBT and others. My goal is to help others to get to the bottom of their struggles, and to challenge the negative beliefs they have.

Mental health is just as important as our physical health. Taking care of both is a part of self-care and helps us to successfully manage life challenges and enjoy beautiful moments. I see this as important every day and a need for everyone, so T. R. Liscombe Family and Behavioral Consultants offers counseling to children, teens, adults, families as well as businesses. The one fact that my practice keeps in mind when working with clients is that you are the expert on your life. Professionals at my practice will support you in meeting the goals that you say are important to you for long term success in your life.

Hello! I’m Leah. Oftentimes kids and teen’s feelings are invalidated or told that what they are experiencing is “not a big deal.” That can be very frustrating, especially as a teen! My goal as a clinical social worker is to help people, no matter their age, work through their trauma, anxieties, and life struggles. I understand how trauma and life experiences can shape a child or teen’s life which is why I am so passionate about helping youth through these vulnerable years.
