At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully.

Seeking therapy can be a first step in coping with a difficult period and is an affirming investment in oneself. I believe that healing and empowerment are wholly achievable and begin with a trusting and accepting therapist-client relationship in a supportive therapeutic environment. I approach therapy as a collaborative process of exploration with the goal of achieving greater self-awareness and the ability to manage life in better balance, incorporating mindfulness and a holistic approach to finding relief.

Are you having communication difficulties with your partner? If your answer is "yes," you should talk with me; I can help. I have successfully guided many like you in learning how to cope with and transcend the numerous types of emotional and relational challenges.I am a knowledgeable, committed, and compassionate therapist, and have assisted many adults and adolescents in overcoming difficulties stemming from the assorted forms of anxiety and depression. I have a diverse client base and work well with people of all orientations, including the LGBT community.

If you or a loved one feel persistently depressed, disappointed or anxious, if you're struggling in relationships or can't move forward in work or school, therapy can be a life-changing opportunity. Therapy is a uniquely safe way to deal with troubling and painful feelings, and to resolve the inner issues that get in the way of fulfilling life goals. With 25 years professional experience, and with advanced training not only in clinical psychology but in psychoanalysis as well, I have been privileged to help many to find greater success and contentment in their lives.

All people have stories that are worthy of respect and understanding. My first priority is to help you feel comfortable in sharing your story with me. I welcome clients who seek therapy for a variety of topics, including anxiety, depression, bipolar, substance use, trauma, relationship difficulties, insomnia, and forming life goals. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages.

Life has many challenges and sometimes they seem overwhelming. Whether you are going through a life transition, struggling with relationship issues, feeling stuck or experiencing other difficult emotions, you and I will work as a team to address your challenges. As a therapist, my goal is to listen to your needs and cultivate a beneficial therapeutic relationship. In a non-judgmental and supportive environment, we will develop tools that help you move forward and let you take action toward positive change. I hope to provide a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings.

If you could wake up tomorrow morning to a life that is exactly how you've always dreamt and visualized, what would that day look like? What is important to you - what are your most cherished values? Upon what do your curiosities hinge and linger? What awakens your inner child? Lends meaning to your being? My desire is to embark on the creative process of therapy with you, and serve as a guide as you explore the roads less traveled toward your most authentic patterns of being. We can take steps on this path via authentic 'I-Thou' encountering within a therapeutic relationship and a clean, well-lighted space.

Not currently accepting new clients! I work with children (ages 3+), adolescents, and adults of all backgrounds and offer services individually, as a family, and in groups for a variety of mental health needs. Some of these include; relationship and attachment problems, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, coping, and trauma.

I have been providing counseling services to individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues of depression, anxiety, marital conflict, and parenting issues for more than 20 years. I also specialize in counseling for weight loss. I currently maintain a private psychotherapy practice in downtown Grand Haven, Michigan. I believe that counseling can help you to see things from a different perspective resulting in different personal choices.

I am a psychologist with thirty year's experience as a therapist. Trained as a general practitioner, I see people with a wide range of issues -- anxiety, depression, fears, phobias, procrastination, underachievement, chronic pain, anger management, attention disorders, and frustration in close relationships. If you decide to come in, the first appointment will focus on clarifying your goals and thinking about ways to move toward them. You are invited to a safe, respectful, supportive place where we can understand your situation and work together to improve it.

We all get stuck in our lives. Sometimes the places we are stuck are really important, like our relationships with others or with our selves. Sometimes we feel trapped in our work. Sometimes we are bogged down in our patterns and routines. There are times when we just can’t seem to change those things we know we need to change. As a counselor and expressive arts therapist, I can help you step toward these stuck parts, these things that need changed, with creativity.

Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use, and/or other mental health diagnoses, I want to provide a safe environment for you so that you can overcome your struggles. We will work together to attain your short- and long-term goals, fulfill your personal growth, increase self-love and worth, discover your purpose, and learn and implement new coping mechanisms. I want to create an environment for self-exploration and expression.

Understanding and insight are keys to growth and change. We work together with clients to bring about healing, change in behavior, and new perspectives. We are a group of more than 80 psychologists and licensed psychotherapists, with offices in 14 locations, who share a passion for helping others in their journey toward personal growth. Some journeys are brief, others take more time. Under the clinical direction of Franklin Sollars, PhD, LP, our therapists offer confidential and caring treatment for a variety of concerns and issues. We offer treatment to clients of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults and elders.

As a behaviorist, I believe that the environments in which we develop across our lifespans ultimately play the most significant role in our actions, decisions, and outcomes. We cannot progress without first understanding how society and upbringing crafted us, our mentalities, and states of being. Life is a journey with many twists, and the path to self-determination is long and complex. Without the proper space for growth, healing, and self-development, one may face difficulties in achieving self-realization and self-actualization.

Are you ready to heal? Are you tired of unhelpful and seemingly unending symptoms and counseling? Then I invite you to take decisive steps towards recovery from most serious individual, couple, and family crises at Expert Therapy Services. You will be treated by a DOCTORAL level therapist who specializes simultaneously in multiple dimensions of mental, behavioral, and family health. A PhD therapist has at least twice the amount of academic education, clinical supervision experiences, and knowledge that is focused on helping you more effectively. Why settle for less?

Greetings! I love to work with adults, young adults, and teenagers who are struggling with any sort of emotionally unmet need. I specialize in working with people struggling with life transitions, anxiety and trauma. I believe that each person is handed barriers in their lives and that each person also has their own unique strengths needed to overcome them. Often clients want to work towards letting go of unhelpful expectations, past belief systems, or previous family of origin issues, and I work toward those goals by helping to remove the theoretical shackles they feel are around them.

‘You have nothing to be sad about’ or ‘just breathe' – if you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health issues, you have probably heard phrases like this. If only it were so easy. I believe that the client holds the solution to their challenges within themselves. Together, we will identify your individual goals, and ways to achieve them. This process is a very personal one, and I will be there with you every step of the way to empower you to lead a meaningful life as you envision it for yourself.
