French Therapists in Portage, MI

Hello! I'm Nicholas. As a graduate student therapist, my goal is to provide you with the time, space, respect, and consideration you need to feel safe, listened to, and accepted unconditionally. My approach to therapy is free of judgment, focused on empowerment, and informed by each client's identities and positionalities. Here, I want to acknowledge my own personal identities as a queer, white, cisgender man and to note that I build upon my training by attending to points of intersectionality, privilege, oppression, and social justice in my praxis; I believe all our unique life experiences are shaped by our multiple identities.

My approach to counseling is relationship oriented with the goal of promoting resilience and autonomy for multicultural, cross generational communities that I serve.

In seeking therapeutic support, your body has already begun the healing process, and I hope you realize how courageous it was for you to take this first step. You have the innate wisdom and strength to overcome your struggles, but you might need someone to walk alongside you on your journey. This is where I come in: I specialize in counseling adult and teen women, but I help people of all ages navigate their way through their inner and outer worlds, empowering them to meet whatever comes their way to make the choices that are right for them.

Welcome! Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression or simply life dissatisfaction, my goal is to provide a space of safety and appreciation for your unique struggles. I specialize in improving relationships. Whether you're in a couple or single and seeking partnership, I work with an understanding of attachment patterns to help you form deeper, more stable bonds. I have a sharp ear for how the stories we tell can limit us. Re-shaping those narratives is a powerful part of my work. In addition to my individual work, I have expertise in marital counseling and therapist supervision.

It can be a struggle to maintain relationships with others and be productive when you are feeling overwhelmed with life. I will provide a safe place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. It is possible that you may have a difficult time pinpointing what exactly is wrong, the important thing is that you know that you do not feel right, and that you would like for this to change. It is ok for you to not have all the words to express your feelings, together we will figure it out.

You haven’t felt like yourself in a long time. Despite many attempts, you struggle to show up for your responsibilities, loved ones, and yourself. You have dreams and aspirations, but somehow taking those first steps feels insurmountable. You feel like you’re spending all your energy just to make it through the day, aimlessly spinning your wheels. You are ready for additional support to build a more robust and fulfilling life. My background lends itself well to teens and adults facing the negative impacts of ADHD, depression, and trauma. I am also passionate about working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks.

We are dedicated to supporting children, couples, and families. We are built on the principle that every family, no matter their background or presenting issues, deserves a compassionate, caring, and resourceful village to help them repair, grow, and thrive. We work hard to make sure that families have access to high quality, evidence-based, holistic mental health care. And the best part is that we tailor every service to each client's unique needs so they can experience the best possible. We use a team approach and work closely with parents and extended family, schools, and other medical professionals to provide clients the best ca

My belief is that therapy should be empowering and be tailored to each client individually. Every person is unique in their experiences and beliefs and for this reason I utilize an integrative approach to counseling. This means that we will use different techniques and ideas from different theories and therapies to best suite each client and their goals. I will work with clients to determine their goals for therapy and will support and aid clients in accomplishing these goals. I am passionate about mental health and helping people and want to help everyone find the best fit for them.

Hi! Thank you for looking over my page! I enjoy working with teens and adults and have over 20 years of experience. My greatest passion lies in working on relationships: the relationship you have with yourself and the relationships you have with those around you. For younger clients, it is to bring more self-awareness into their frame of reference. My ideal client participates in the session. Tell me your thoughts on our progress, on how we do things, on your goals. If you're unsure, I'll start, and we can adjust as we go. Welcome to YOUR team. You're the captain and the one who makes the decisions.
