Grief Therapists in Oxford, MI

As a counselor I approach each client holistically, believing that our lives are shaped by our physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual experiences. I strive to utilize all aspects of a client’s life to help them achieve their goals. Many techniques may be used in my practice, but are based on a person-centered foundation, believing that the therapeutic relationship is vital to effective counseling. I can offer my years of life experience in addition to my formal training as a counselor to provide empathy and understanding to clients.

Have you been searching for someone who will listen and support you or your child without judgment? Look no further- I can help! I have over 10 years of experience working with young children, elementary aged children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged adults, and older adults. I have worked doing outpatient therapy, in the schools as a School Social Worker, and in a partial hospitalization program as well. All of these experiences have given me insight into the many modalities of treatment. Additionally, I am passionate about being the bridge between clients and their communities to provide the best care possible.

As a dedicated cognitive behavioral therapist specializing in adult mental health, I am committed to empowering individuals aged 18 to 64 in their journey towards improved well-being. With expertise in anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, life transitions, men's issues, self-esteem, and stress management, I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Hello! My goal is to create a comfortable and safe place for my clients to empower themselves through therapy. I want to help clients develop better coping strategies, manage their anxiety, navigate transitions in life, and improve communication skills and relationships.

Choosing to enter into counseling is not an easy decision. My main goals as a therapist are: 1. To provide the client with a safe environment in order to help them feel comfortable expressing themselves. 2. To gather as much information as possible in order to address their unique needs & provide the best counseling. 3. To utilize a variety of approaches and tailor the counseling to each individual to help the client live with more peace & purpose. Being flexible, knowledgeable & open as a therapist is important. I participate in continuing education on a regular basis in order to provide relevant counseling for my clients.

I believe that within every person you have the tools to find what you need, but sometimes it is difficult to know where to start. My role as a therapist is to build a safe and nonjudgmental partnership to support you in connecting with your own inner wisdom and capacity for growth, healing, and transformation. I combine your knowledge of your own life with my training and experience to support you as a whole person in the context of your intersecting identities, experiences, and environment. My specialty is working with young adults and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, shame, and grief.

I believe that clients are the expert of their life, and have the ability to determine their own solutions to their concerns when in a space that is supportive and understanding. Through therapy, clients can explore both internal and external factors that can then lead to finding solutions for their concerns.

Every individual and couple have a right to their own "reproductive story." Their individualized vision of what their family could look like. Unfortunately, family building does not come easily for every person. Primary, secondary and social infertility as well as pregnancy loss can threaten one's dreams of building their family and lead to reproductive trauma. I am committed to helping others heal from this trauma and in building a new story for their family.

It's hard being human. We don't come with an owner's manual and no one really knows what it's like to live our lives. There's no certain formula for how to be happy. Often we don't know what we want, or sometimes even who we truly want to be. We just know: "I want to feel better." Being our own unique person in the world we live in is incredibly messy and immensely complicated, and everyone gets stuck sometimes. Many things can cause us to get stuck like life events, grief and loss, trauma, issues in relationships, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and even being LGBTQ+ or neurodiverse in a neurotypical heteronormative world.

“Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” - Brene Brown. Life is complicated yet a very beautiful journey. Lets work together to explore the dynamics of life. I have experience with inpatient substance abuse treatment, community mental health and currently private practice outpatient services working with trauma, grief, interpersonal relationships, couples, life span development with teenagers to adults as well as end of life care. Let's do this together and focus on being the most authentic and genuine self.

Hey there, I'm Jamie! I'm excited about the chance to connect with you and support you on your journey towards personal growth. With over a decade of experience working with both children and adults, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to our sessions.

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. No matter what your issue is I’m here to help. I provide a non judgmental, safe space for clients of all walks of life to solve problems, adjust to new circumstances, or find healing from a traumatic event. Like most therapists, I use a variety of therapeutic methods to help clients meet their goals. Originally from San Diego, I currently live with my family in N. Oakland Co.

Your mind races with intrusive thoughts that cause you to worry about everything, or you can't forget about that horrible event that happened to you in your past. Or maybe you lost an important person in your life or experienced a change that took away that feeling of life being normal. You try to move on with life, but you're angry, sad, confused, or feel helpless. Believe me, I’ve been there and done that. And if any of this resonates with you, keep reading or take a look at my website, www.hillside-counseling.com, to find out more about me and what I'm all about.

My theoretical foundation is primarily humanistic; meaning, I focus on building a therapeutic relationship with empathy and trust. Moreover, my clients are empowered to utilize their resources, strengths, and resilience to shape what directions their lives take.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious or stressed? Are you having difficulty in your life or feel out of sorts, stuck or uncertain. Do you struggle with chronic illness, parental challenges or trauma? Whatever the issue, the common need and goals that you may be seeking is balance, acceptance, freedom, coping skills and an understanding to maintain the change you desire. I utilize interventions that stem from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing all of which are evidenced-based practices to work towards identified goals.

Life can be messy, challenging and difficult at any age. I believe that counseling provides a much-needed break in a hectic week for decompression, self-examination, and consideration of change. My role as your counselor is to provide a safe, welcoming space that invites you to unpack your concerns. I work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that highlights your goals and interests, purposefully integrating mind, body and spirit. In doing so, we create a path which allows you to develop insights, identify potential solutions and ultimately take action to create positive change in your life.

I believe that each client is capable of overcoming personal obstacles and aspires to be a happy, healthy member of society. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment for my clients while also providing psychoeducation and leading individually designed interventions that allow the client to gain insight, identify potential solutions, and take action to effect positive change when they are ready.

Depression, anxiety, work and social stress, parenting and relationship issues are the main reasons people come to see me. I have been very successful in helping clients rediscover their inner strengths and regain stability in their lives. Some of our conflicts are circumstantial, and we only need direction or guidance to get back on track. Other issues are long standing and run much deeper, and as most people recognize, require special knowledge and understanding to work them through. I believe that we are all struggling to adapt and get along. We all want to be happy with our selves and our lives.
