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".

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.

My job is to find the big picture in my clients’ lives that made them who they are today. As we talk I listen for themes and work with my clients to understand where the patterns came from and how the past is making their lives hard now. We all have a choice of being a victim or a creator in our lives. Victims live in the past which makes their lives harder but creators find ways to live in the now and find happiness, integrity and joy every day. I would like the honor of accompanying you on this journey. My “toolbox” includes traditional therapy as well as Hypnosis and EFT (tapping therapy).

It is often said that life is a journey in which you experience "ups and downs." Unfortunately for many who experience a down time, there are difficulties overcoming barriers when trying to go back "up" again. I want to meet you where you are when you are overwhelmed by those barriers. I want to walk with you and work with you toward an improved quality of life while helping you arm yourself with the necessary tools to navigate through any future barriers.

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.

“It’s okay to ask for help.” Whether are going through a stressful time in life, you have low self-esteem, you experienced trauma, you are anxious and/or depressed, you can get through it, and you can have professional support along the way.

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 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.

Are anxiety and depression ruling your life? Is everyday a struggle? I am a licensed counselor with experience who can transform your life for the better. I work with clients facing intimate relationship issues, bereavement, severe anxiety and depression. I am compassionate and possess the tools to create positive change in your life. I come from the perspective that everyone has a story to tell and deserves a place where it can be safely heard. My mission is to work with clients in a highly attuned and deeply caring way. I am also trained in EMDR for clients with trauma to help bring balance to their lives.

I have found that people tend to seek therapy when they are experiencing some kind of stressful situation in their life. You may have found that you keep repeating bad patterns or that you feel stuck in your relationships or your job and you don't know what to do to get unstuck. We all need to find someone we can feel safe sharing our deepest concerns with and we want to feel understood. Whether the work is brief, or more long-term, I am passionate about helping you to develop behavior changes that will lead to healing and eventually to you fulfilling your potential.

I am a psychologist in practice in Bingham Farms, Michigan. I am very experienced in doing therapy with children, adolescents, and adults, in individual therapy and in marital therapy. I have provided empathic and professional therapeutic help for many patients over my 35 years in practice. When I work with children, I also work with their parents to help them to help their child. I also regularly perform psychological testing, including cognitive and personality assessment, and therapeutic and forensic assessment.

Whether you are struggling with relationship difficulties, are unsatisfied with work, or don't believe that you are living up to your potential-I can help. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed by your life. As your therapist, I will help you to develop solutions to your problems in a way that is respectful of who you are. My hope is that you will leave treatment feeling better, with more self-understanding, and the ability to create new solutions for yourself. I look forward to hearing from you.

I strongly believe that collaboration between therapist and client is the best way to assure long-term success. We work together so that you achieve your mental health and life goals. I practice research-based treatment and continuously work to learn and grow, to serve clients more effectively. My treatment orientation is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a short-term, goal-oriented approach, that is highly effective for many mental health issues. I look forward to helping you move forward in life.

I am currently offering in-person as well as video (tele-health) sessions before 4 pm on weekdays only. I strive to utilize evidence-based therapy models to empower my clients to develop a deep level of self-understanding and reach their goals. My role is to offer support, guidance, and healing to my clients throughout each step of their journey toward becoming their best selves.
