Therapists in Northville, MI

After being a psychotherapist for 30 years, learning and growing on the journey, I now am passionate about supporting my clients to open to learning about all the aspects of themselves, dark and light, and bringing love and acceptance to it all. It is here that we find true happiness and purpose. Through awareness, we find our way to ceasing judgement and the eternal push to find happiness outside of ourselves.. And as we learn to be in the present moment, we develop valuable skills for self regulation and resilience, freeing us to live the life of our dreams.

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.

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. Our group is trained in dealing with a variety of issues including: Attention Deficit Disorder, School Difficulties, Interpersonal Issues such as bullying, adult ADD and related issues, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Mood Disorders, Grief and Loss, Parenting, Educational Concerns, Relationship Concerns, Career and Work Issues, and Sexual Issues.

Throughout our existence, we all move through times that can bring an enormous amount of sadness, anxiety and disturbance. Perhaps the days add up, and we end up living much of our lives in this suffering. If we hold on and search, it is that deep self inside, the one just beneath the everyday routine, who can not only find the motivation to talk about these pains, but the inspiration to transform them into healing, meaning and purpose. When we take the lens and zoom in, every single one of us can find passion and vision. Joy and strength.

Welcome! I specialize in trauma recovery and navigating relationship challenges across all aspects of our lives. I place strong emphasis on acquiring skills to manage anxiety and depression, chronic illness, substance use recovery, grief and/or loss, and on making critical transitions that ensure safety, growth and holistic wellbeing. I have extensive experience engaging with teens and young people and am a skilled restorative dialogue facilitator, helping individuals and families hold space for conversations around challenging topics.

Your thoughts, feelings, and emotions are what make you human. And sometimes we need someone else to help us unravel some of those thoughts, feelings, or emotions. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, LGBTQA+ issues, people pleasing, life transitions and has sat on the other side of a therapy session, I understand how hard it can be to reach out to someone for help when we're in a tough time. My hope is that I can be a safe space for you to understand what you're going through and help find helpful ways to cope to become your most authentic self.

Welcome, I am Alyssa. You have made a brave step by choosing to seek help, and are on your way towards improving your quality of life. If you are struggling with anxiety or depression related to work, academics, relationships, pregnancy, new parenthood or any other sort of life transition and would like someone to help you find your way through these moments I am here to help. If you have been wondering why you feel the way that you do, I will work with you to help unpack the nature of these concerns and find a way towards understanding and peace.

As a counselor and art therapist, my approach comes with an understanding that people are multifaceted. When challenges arise, there is no cookie-cutter fix for the situation you may be facing as you are unique, and your therapy should be tailored to your needs. Talking about difficult matters can be hard, but it can be a little easier when you know you have someone you can trust to discuss them with. I come to sessions with the goal of being supportive, resourceful, authentic, and empathetic since building rapport is crucial to the therapeutic alliance.

We focus is on providing mental health care that is thoughtful, attentive and individualized to your unique needs. We use evidence-based treatment methods that incorporate the mind and body to foster happiness, wholeness, and authentic living. Making mindful changes to self-defeating behavior, challenging negative narratives and learning how to cope with difficult feelings opens you up to life-altering results. Our therapists at Simply Mindful Counseling will join with you to help simplify your journey and to support you in finding your true path. The hardest part is making the decision to embark on the therapeutic journey.

You are ready to grow, but looking for a companion or guide on the journey. You want to leave the pain behind and make a change. Deep down, you know incredible things are possible for you! Whether you deal with occasional anxiety, chronic struggles, or you feel completely stuck, I'm here to partner with you on your healing journey. You don't have to know all the how's (I'm here to help with that), all I ask is you take the risk that its possible to redesign your life. My clients are ready to do what it takes to change their lives - challenge their assumptions, grow their worth, explore their potential, and leave the pain behind.

I have an individualized, empathetic, and interactive approach to psychotherapy. I work with clients in crisis, coping with previous or on-going trauma, and those simply looking for direction. I work with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, self-harm, sexual, emotional and/or physical abuse, LGBT issues, PTSD and complex/developmental trauma. My approach is a theoretical blend of psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and client-centered.

Life is predictably unpredictable. Despite this, adapting to challenges may not always feel familiar or simple. Feeling understood and accepted is a powerful aspect to dealing with change, but not always available or prevalent. My goal is to provide support and tools while navigating through a variety of struggles and challenges. I strive to provide a holistic therapeutic approach that best fits each individual I work with.

I have been providing services to children, adolescents, and families since 2009. I have years of experience working with people from all different backgrounds, and most commonly I work with issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, career issues, and much more. I have an integrative counseling style that incorporates elements from Strength-based Solution-focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or carrying the mental load of the family? Does it feel like you have an endless "To Do" list that you can't seem to get done? Maybe you struggle with overthinking, prioritizing yourself, providing self compassion, and are your own worst critic? I want to help by providing support, guidance, and compassion to make your life easier and more enjoyable.

I have worked with clients who have had a myriad of concerns and presenting problems. These most often include anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief and loss, adjustment, and relationship struggles. Maybe you're struggling with the stress of starting school or a new job, or perhaps you have had a lot of trauma that causes problems in every aspect of your life. Whatever the reason for you seeking therapy, I am here to listen and help, as long as you're willing to work with me and be honest about your progress and goals.
