Adoption Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

I have experience with adoption /attachment, to sexual trauma, to depression/anxiety, and/or substance abuse. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, knowledgeable about polyamorous relationships, as well as kink friendly. Clients who are ready to make a change in their lives or their way of thinking will find the most success working with me. Change is scary but if the way you've been isn't serving you then let's create a new picture of it the way you want it to be. Change might be scary but the only thing scarier is staying unhappy.

Relationships are central to my work, whether it be the relationship between a child or adult and myself, or the complex web of relationships within a family. My training and experience in Infant Mental Health--a type of therapy focusing on the attachment relationship between a primary caregiver and and an infant or young child--permeates all aspects of my work. I believe that therapy cannot separate an individual from the context of his or her relationships, past or present. I am creative and flexible in my approach to working with the children, teens, adults and families that I serve.

Kim Logan Communications Christian Counseling Clinic has been successfully addressing the needs of families, youth and individuals experiencing problems, or those with maritial concerns, by providing family therapy, child therapy and substance abuse treatment. KLCC has provided employability training and substance abuse treatment to parole and probationary offenders since 1993.

You don't have to walk this journey alone and you don't have to settle for simply "surviving" your days. I believe that thriving is possible for you and I believe that this isn't where your story ends. Beautiful Moments Counseling offers a safe place to walk through what is hurting and to discover healing.

Unresolved trauma can create invisible emotional wounds. The deep emotional scarring of these wounds can negatively impact both personal and professional lives. Early trauma is often at the root of mental illness, including depression and anxiety. I specialize in trauma focused therapy solutions for adults and children. In my office, you will find a safe space where you can express yourself and move toward your desired goals in a healthy and healing way. Our relationship will be built on the four pillars of healing: trust, safety, support and hope.

Have you been in survival mode for too long? Are you parenting a child with big behaviors or emotions? Or are you working so hard to reparent yourself while simultaneously parenting small people with big needs? Parenting a child who is struggling is stressful even in the best of times. Maybe the thought "this isn't what (or the child) I was expecting" has even run through your mind. Whether you planned for pregnancy, fostering or adopting, you likely dreamed of love, connection and joy. And now you are not sure how to get there from here. Or if it is even possible. It really is! There is always room for hope.

Each person has an innate capacity for strength and change, and is worthy of a life filled with satisfaction and joy. Working together, we can explore thoughts and patterns and find ways to reach your best potential for positive change. I am passionate about helping people discover and develop their strengths, as well as create patterns that allow them to live happy, meaningful lives.

Making the choice to seek and begin therapy can take a lot of courage, yet it is often the first step towards resolving those issues in our lives that take away from the happiness and fulfillment that we deserve. I strongly feel that effective therapy is dependent on a good fit between a client and clinician where collaboration is encouraged. I believe it is best to tailor my therapeutic approach based on the individual's goals, personality, and lifestyle. It is my priority to create a safe space and nonjudgmental environment where people can gain clarity, self- awarenss, empowerment and overcome personal challenges.

Therapy is a very personal journey and wherever you find yourself right now is where you are supposed to be. Life can bring challenges. Whether you seek help in the treatment of anxiety, depression, overthinking, grief and loss, infertility, general dissatisfaction, or to heal from past traumas, we can find a treatment approach for you.

WE OFFER TELE-THERAPY - BOTH VIDEO AND TELEPHONE-BASED. Understanding and insight are key to change and growth. We're a group of licensed psychotherapists in Metro Detroit who share a passion for helping others in their journey toward personal growth and change. 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 issues and concerns. Treatment for all ages - children, adolescents, adults and elders, is available. We work together with clients to bring about healing, change in behavior, and new perspectives.

I use a strength based, collaborative, and mindful approach during treatment. I practice from a trauma and attachment based lens bringing mindfulness and curiosity into each session. For over 15 years, I have been successfully working with children, youth and families. Together we will explore past and current stressors and how these experiences have impacted habits and coping styles with an understanding that each of us adapts the best that we can to obstacles in life. We will look at areas in your life where you are feeling stuck and explore what you need to move forward.

Hello, I'm Katie! I'm a licensed social worker with three years of experience providing cognitive-behavioral and talk therapy counseling to clients in need. I earned my Bachelors and my Masters in Social Work from The Ohio State University. I've worked in many different clinical settings ever since. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities and an understanding of interpersonal and familial relationships. I have experience leading clients through life changes, traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety.

I am most qualified to treat people who are having problems in living fulfilling lives because of troubling symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) or general dissatisfaction with themselves and relationships. I believe my treatment approach contributes to personal growth at any age. My rigorous training, 10 years post-Ph.D. has qualified me as a Training/Supervising Analyst who treats other therapists, and supervises other therapists--psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers in their work with adults, children and adolescents. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I treat sexual and marital dysfunctions. As a child psychoanalyst, I treat children and work with parents in parent guidance.

My approach to psychotherapy begins with my belief in the strengths and healing abilities of all human beings. Using these strengths and accessing additional healing resources makes the process inordinately easier, more empowering and even enjoyable. I work from a perspective that emphasizes the dysfuntional beliefs that we each have learned about ourselves and our world, working to identify, challenge and modify these beliefs. Together, we look at this within the context of family and society to gain an understanding of how we got where we are. Sometimes this is straightforward, and often it is not (see below).

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 conflicts and blocks that get in the way of fulfilling life goals. With over 30 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.
