My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help my clients effectively address personal life challenges. I help the client build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with your to achieve your goals.

I believe people do things for good reasons. When things do not work out, we work together to find effective methods to resolve the challenges we face. I offer unconditional positive regard to all of my clients. Therapy is a cooperative endeavor conducted in a safe and welcoming environment.

Are you anxious, depressed or stuck in self-defeating behaviors? For adults, problems may appear as difficulties in relationships or professional performance. Adolescents and children may experience problems at school, with family members or peers. My knowledge of development and experience allows me to understand my patient's struggles across the life span and offer practical solutions. I work collaboratively and confidentially with individuals in the process of therapy, helping them move away from behaviors and emotions that create suffering and move toward developing their full potential and greater fulfillment in life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working as a clinical mental health therapist for more than 15 years. I have a specialty degree in Child and Adolescent Counseling and enjoy working with adults as well. I believe in building positive coping skills, resiliency, and a positive outlook on life by having clients be an active part of their treatment. Using behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and play therapy techniques (for children) are some of the ways I can help clients achieve their goals.

Are you in a relationship where there is a lot of arguing or a lot of cold silence? Do you feel alone even though you are married? Or are you single and curious about why your past relationships have failed? Are you wondering how to build a healthy close relationship? If you have answered yes to several of these questions, research demonstrates that seeking the appropriate type of relationship counseling may benefit you greatly. I am an IMAGO relationship therapist with over 35 years experience and can help you restore feelings of love and closeness so that you can build the " relationship of your dreams".

I utilize a direct, empathetic approach to help you effectively cope with difficult emotions, traumatic experiences and the challenges of life. We will work together through the therapeutic process in order to help you gain insight and self awareness to bring about the necessary changes. We will explore the feelings and emotions that bring about anxiety, depression, loss of self worth and grief. My specialties include PTSD, Grief, Trauma, and Mood Disorders.

**I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO TAKE NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** If you're experiencing things such as sadness/depressed mood, not feeling good enough, high levels of stress or worry, difficulty navigating a life transition, or struggling in any relationships you have with others you are in the right place. We want to feel comfortable with who we are (and who we are not). Having the courage to share our thoughts or feelings out loud or leaning into (not away from) life's stressors without falling apart is pretty important for us humans. And let's not forget learning how to spend less time stressing and more time enjoying our lives!

After 35 years of practice, I've learned there is no one-size fits all-everyone is unique. The best psychotherapists are creative, flexible, and harvest wisdom and techniques from many different models. I believe this approach is most helpful and apply my many years of experience in psychology, integrative medicine, mindfulness, and nutrition towards a compassionate style of healing. I try to educate, inspire, explain, clarify, & comfort. Feeling safe is the most important aspect in creating a close connection.. My unusual background and training helps me to treat a broad range of emotional problems including illness and life stress.

Facing challenges is inevitable in life, sometimes the challenges can be too difficult to face alone. Making the choice to seek professional help can be the solution that one needs, in order to navigate through the difficult periods. With time, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self, resilience, and intelligence through treatment. As a therapist, I have a genuine interest in collaborating with individuals in this rewarding and valuable process.

Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

Skill, experience and kindness are qualities many seek in a therapist. When you are suffering with personal problems, you want to know that you will be heard and understood in ways that will help you find ways to expand your own self-understanding. A good therapist - the right therapist for you - is one who can "think together" with you to help find new solutions to old problems. The Mel Bornstein Clinic for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy was established upon a 60-year tradition of offering just this kind of help.

The pain you feel does not have to continue. You could be struggling with depression, anxiety, parenting issues, or relationship challenges. Or your child may be struggling and needs someone to help. The work we will do together will be some of the most important in your life, as I join you in getting to the bottom of what is holding you back from feeling better, and help you take steps toward regaining power and joy. You don't have to go it alone, and you don't have to keep hurting. I am ready to help.

As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my approach is to provide insight to help individuals, couples, and families address current challenges and longstanding issues. With an integration of methods, I draw from an array of styles and interventions. I have been able to assist clients with a variety of mental health problems and relational issues in a private, comfortable, and confidential atmosphere.

I am an empathetic practitioner who assumes a person-centered approach to therapy, focusing on the individual and unique needs of each client while simultaneously cultivating a strong therapeutic rapport. I believe it is important to help clients access their inner strengths in order to build real-life skills to assist them in coping with life stressors and creating desired positive changes. Additionally, I strive to create an environment characterized by openness, trust, mutual respect, and confidentiality. I work with clients on concerns relating to anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, and major life changes.

I value the opportunity to walk alongside you as you make your own way through life's journey. Filled with ups and downs, trauma and joy, life has a way of overwhelming us at times. It can often be helpful to have someone present with us in our pain, sitting with us as we process and seek growth. I believe in holistic care, looking at individual strengths, backgrounds, and beliefs that empower you to become the best version of yourself, connected and authentic in your engagement with the world around you. **If calling from a Hospital or other facility, please dial 734-787-5872 as your phone number may be marked as 'spam'**

I believe therapy is about working together as a team and using our conversations to help you achieve clarity, to develop and strengthen your coping skills, and to help you move forward in a positive direction with life. I am results-oriented, and it would be my privilege and pleasure to help you work through whatever is keeping you from a truly happy and productive life.

I have had extensive experience working with adolescents who are experiencing questions and concerns about their identify, social anxiety, academic school performance problems, learning problems, family conflict, inter-personal relationship problems and gender concerns. I work with LGBT teenagers and adults.

Therapy can change your life for the better. We all go through tough times- stressful transitions, painful loss, rough patches in our relationships. We long to find peaceful balance and greater hapiness. I would love to help you make that happen. In the past 10 years I have assisted a diverse population of adults and adolescents overcome their depression, anxiety, grief and trauma, emotional problems, and adjustment issues. I help my clients identify clear goals and work toward them. In the process, clients gain great insight, understand their thoughts and feelings, and learn new skills and techniques.
