Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Birmingham, MI

The decision to begin seeking therapy can be a challenging one. It's not always easy, the idea of opening yourself up to a new person in such a vulnerable way, so kudo's for even being on this website right now. I encourage all potential clients to reach out to have that initial conversation. Finding the right therapist can be a bit of a process and the only way to start figuring out if someone might be a good fit is to have a chat. And if it's not, that's totally okay, let's find you someone who is. Everyone deserves to have the best support possible.

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.

One of the most rewarding and beautiful things to witness is someone pushing beyond his or her barriers and experiencing life and the world in new ways. It's my belief that one of the ways this can be accomplished is in an atmosphere where we can feel safe, respected, and listened to while we tell our story. I strive to provide this type of environment for each client.

WE OFFER TELE-THERAPY - BOTH VIDEO AND TELEPHONE-BASED. Understanding and insight are key to growth and change. Some journeys are brief, others take more time. We are a group of Metro Detroit licensed psychotherapists who share a passion for helping others in their journey toward personal growth and change. Under the clinical direction of Franklin Sollars, PhD, LP, our therapists offer caring and confidential treatment for a variety of issues and concerns in 16 locations. We offer treatment to children, adolescents, adults and elders. We work together with clients to bring about healing, behavior change, and new perspectives.

My role as a psychologist is to help people solve problems that are interfering with their daily lives. Through counseling, I help you assess your strengths and develop your optimal potential. I help you clarify your current problems and then discover ways to best cope with them. And I assist you in changing self-defeating behaviors and making positive choices. In addition, mindfulness based stress reduction is a great tool for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

We surround each person on a continuous basis, responsive to their ever evolving needs. Psych Assets leads the way by investing each day in life’s most important asset: PEOPLE. We believe in the power of the human mind to transform viewpoints and vision into new insights, attitudes, and behaviors. We believe that doing ‘what is right’ and ‘what is fair’ may feel hard at times but these are the ideals we follow with each connecting encounter. We value all human life, and in doing so we believe in the richness of cultures, human diversity and inclusion. We believe that transformation and change are always possible.

You do not have to be alone with troubling thoughts or feelings that keep you from being your best. I am experienced, easy to talk with, and willing to help you find solutions and regain your personal resilience. In a non-judgmental, safe space we can work together to unpack the experiences that are getting in the way of your feeling grounded and secure. Focusing on your strengths, we will reflect on the past and present, while keeping an eye to your future self.

The more you understand yourself and your patterns of behavior the better you can make positive change. Do you have marital issues that you are struggling with and need an honest objective opinion? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety and can’t seem to get out of the cycle? Many times it is another set of ears that is needed to help bring objectivity and clarity to an issue of life's crossroads. I also enjoy helping people understand why they keep repeating negative patterns and behaviors. Therapy can be very positive and inspire you to make changes.

Finding the best individual and marriage therapist for you can seem daunting. Talking to us, asking questions, paying attention to your feelings and intuition, all help. My 30 years experience as a compassionate, well-trained psychotherapist give me the background and skills to support you in achieving your goals, which might include: resolving immediate symptoms; recognizing and appreciating core strengths; developing deeper self awareness and acceptance; and learning the skills of empowered, effective communication. I am experienced in working with the newer spiritual growth paradigms, as in the work of Eckhart Tolle.

Life can be difficult, but I believe that with the aid of therapy people can obtain a deeper understanding of themselves, and find ways to overcome their obstacles. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and have experience with treating mood and personality disorders, anxiety, behavioral problems, relationship/marital conflicts, and parental/family issues. I believe every person is unique, therefore I utilize a variety of treatment approaches, including- Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Family Systems.

EVERY human deserves a place in which they can feel safe, un-judged, and respected. Within that safety comes true growth, understanding, realization and acceptance for yourself and your story. I hope to walk with you on your personal journey in finding the grace and compassion to find your authentic self.

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.
