Unfortunately...Life is not fair. We may get knocked down by things out of our control, but it’s always our responsibility to get back up. Choosing therapy is a brave step in putting your pieces back together, a step towards freedom, happiness, and being the best you. My name is Sheri Leighton and I am a Licensed Master Clinical Social Worker (LMSW). I graduated from The University of Michigan School of Social Work Program in 2005.

Do you call yourself a people-pleaser or perfectionist? Do you feel like you're never enough? Have you been feeling depressed or do you endure your day with extreme stress, loneliness, and constantly fighting off negative thoughts? You might be dealing with social anxiety, trauma, or depression. You might want relief, yet you may feel tempted to "tough it out." I understand that thought, but your life is worth addressing right now and I'd like to help you do so. You deserve to feel relief, and you deserve a therapist who can help you get there. Whatever you may bring to therapy, if it's important to you, it's important to me.

For over 20 years, Dr. Stephen Purcell has been helping adults, adolescents, couples and families improve their relationships; cope with stress, anxiety and depression; work through trauma, grief, and loss; overcome addictions; and navigate major life transitions like divorce and career change. Whether you are currently facing a crisis or simply want to improve the way you function in everyday life, Dr. Purcell has the training, skills and experience to assist you.

Hi, I am an experienced psychotherapist and I have worked with many individuals and families who are in need of help coping with life's stress and how to make good decisions and move forward on a healthy path. I can help you with trauma, family of origin stress, mood disorders, major mental illness, addictions of all types and most adjustment problems; retirement adjustment, adjustment to adulthood, and life stage adjustment. Many of my clients have family members who have mental health and substance abuse difficulties. I will see clients in active addiction only if they willing to make the tough changes needed.

Life can be hard. Young people face a number of challenges-- family stresses, anxiety about growing older and separating from parents, peer pressure, the lure of substances. As adults, we also face painful stressors-- divorce, for example, losses, aging. We can become stuck, overwhelmed, and confused. In my work with adolescents and adults, I offer an engaged, intensive approach that will allow us to understand how longstanding dysfunctional patterns and beliefs affect your daily life. Specialized training and decades of experience have taught me that the better we understand ourselves, the better we can handle challenges and implement adaptive solutions.

Emotional distress takes many forms: low self esteem, depression, anxiety, chronic anger, and/or relationship problems are some of the reasons people come to therapy. Some people who see me are having a difficult time with a life transition or have been unable to bounce back from a significant loss. Some have a history of being traumatized in ways that still impact them, or have problematic and unproductive ways of coping with life's difficulties.

If you are struggling, stuck, or want a listening ear, we consider it an honor to learn from your story and walk with you through life's difficulties. We work across the lifespan. We hold advanced training in Perinatal Mood Disorders, Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, Gottman, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Our highly skilled team has been featured in top-tier press: Women's Health, National Geographic, Parents, and Shape. We will incorporate a thorough assessment of what is going on with the use of research-proven interventions to help. Most of all, we will listen to your story and strive to help you heal and grow during every meeting.

Are you finding it difficult to engage in activities that once brought joy and meaning to your life due to sadness, feelings of loss, or overwhelming worry? I help people reengage in valued activities and relationships, heal from trauma, and rediscover what is most important in their lives. My approach to therapy is relational and integrative. I employ behavioral health interventions, viewing these elements as tools that are best utilized in a broader person-centered context of physiological health and psychological wholeness.

I will work with you to bring balance and energy to your daily life. Using a mindfulness-based approach we can look at marriage and divorce, relationships with partners, children, families and friends, addictions, sexuality, adolescence, work, and personal growth. You deserve to achieve success and joy in your daily living. Finding that balance between work, play, partner, and family is the goal we all are striving to achieve.

We are all called to evolve beyond our survival level strategies designed to cope with wounding family systems, lineages and social systems. It is possible to integrate the legacy of trauma we have inherited and thrive in this lifetime. We are collectively facing monumental global challenges, socially, politically and environmentally, that amplifies this legacy, and hastens the call for us to cultivate greater capacity to stay present, grounded and lovingly engaged. Returning to wholeness requires reorienting towards mobilizing our rich inner and outer resources, shifting from generating suffering to unlocking liberation.

I believe that everyone has the ability to improve and to enhance their sense of hope, peace, wellbeing and balance in life. It is my privilege to work collaboratively in a nonjudgemental and accepting space to support and empower individuals in the process of personal exploration and development. Through the consideration of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, responses and inner dialogue we can work together to improve your current state and you will be able to decide what choices make the most sense for you.

I am committed to providing a safe, hopeful, and supportive space for you to feel comfortable and free from judgement throughout the therapeutic process. Seeking help takes a lot of courage and I applaud any person who takes the first step. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relational conflict and overcoming difficult life transitions. Collectively, we will discuss and process your thoughts and feelings as they relate to both past and present wounds.

I offer deep, effective counseling treatment. I specialize in relationship struggles, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, high stress/burn out and depression. My advanced training focuses on helping clients to resolve past traumas in order to relieve current emotional distress and psychological symptoms. I focus on healing from a body / somatic experiencing standpoint. I support clients in cultivating feelings of peace, confidence and connection. This paves the way for improved relationships with both self and others. In my practice, an emphasis is placed on personal development and revitalization.

My desire is to assist clients with healing and restoration. Clients who are grappling with anxiety, depression, and addictions often find healing from my approach. Clients who are focused on breaking the bonds of addiction are treated with dignity and respect and given a clear and distinct treatment path.

While fostering a sense of safety, we will explore your/a loved one's present experience with depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief, loss and/or trauma symptoms. Are you looking for support that could enhance your relationship(s)? I believe in building one up in a sincere & safe way, identifying strengths within individuals, while empowering to communicate effectively, reducing escalation & conflict. My experience has centered on teens, parenting, treatment of adults, psychiatric assessments & trauma. My personal history as a solo parent & ovarian cancer survivor may help others moving through difficult situations.

My approach is a collaborative one as I feel my my role is to help each individual find the strengths and skills already within them to manage their lives. Each individual determines their own needs, and goals while I help guide them to where they want to be.
