Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Canton, MI

The areas I specialize in include working with mood disorders, young adults, parenting support, various life transitions, and I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals as a non-binary therapist (they/them), most especially with gender identity issues. I am also passionate about helping individuals going through infertility experiences, as my wife and I experienced this struggle firsthand before we had our child using IVF treatment. I love offering a compassionate approach to these sensitive subjects as individuals navigate their options and explore the complex emotions associated with infertility in therapy.

My goal as a clinician is to help people become more proficient in understanding themselves. Developing introspection is essential to understanding one’s motives and behavior. Clients come seeking healing, clarity and validation. We must learn to discern what we feel from what is real.

Are you looking for help with the ups and downs of life? Identifying immediate emotional needs and exploring long term mental health goals are essential in maintaining good mental and emotional health.

I maintain a positive approach and employ mindfulness strategies, personally and professionally, to build strong therapeutic relationships. As a Certified Trauma Professional, my focus is on developing skills to address trauma and stress based anxiety.

My focus is helping individuals create a culture of emotional awareness that leads to healing, joy, and empowerment.

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy. We will take into consideration how you are feeling, emotionally and physically. Positive psychology, CBT , DBT and mindfulness are a few of the approaches I use to manage disabling thoughts and enhance positive emotions in people with depression, anxiety disorders as well as addictions. Sometimes you may have no idea why you feel the way you do. That is ok. I hope to offer you the place to explore your needs, your wants, your fears. Therapy can be scary to start. I promise you it will open your eyes to new possibilities and hope. I will help guide you towards the contentment you seek.

I provide individual and group psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. My work with children is specific to gender identity. My clinical work is focused on eating disorders, gender identity, LGBTQQ+ concerns, multicultural counseling, survivors of sexualized violence and trauma. I work with clients through a social justice and holistic health lens that emphasizes the inseparable connection between our mind, body, and environment. My approach to therapy is strength-based and client centered rooted in cultural humility. I incorporate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based techniques depending upon the goals of each client.

The decision to start therapy signals an interest and curiosity about becoming more grounded and present in our lives. Each of us has a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape who we are and how we experience relationships. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and draws on psychodynamic, sensorimotor, and mindfulness based modalities. I work with clients from a practical, here-and-now perspective while attending to the impact of relational, cultural, and early childhood experiences. I am Level 1 Basic Trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. I also work with grief & loss, depression, and body image/acceptance.

Are you struggling with anxiety or memories of traumatic events? Do you need to deal with guilt, shame, or anger? Are you engaging in behaviors you wish you could stop? I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in the treatment of stress and anxiety-related issues, whether due to trauma in the past, or career, life or job changes. I am experienced in treating combat-related stress, family of origin issues, sexual abuse or institutional/religious abuse. I have experience with anger problems, addictive disorders, and life's challenges. I am experienced working with sexual orientation and other issues of self-identity.

I believe that helpful therapy unfolds in an environment that is comfortable, empowering, safe, and one that allows for full expression. It is also important that the person I am working with can sense that I am listening attentively as they share the various layers of their experience. Individuals often seek help because they are unsettled or upset by what they are feeling. I aim to help clients "hold" their current experience without becoming overwhelmed, and eventually, to use those feelings as valuable information as we move through the therapeutic process.

I am the Founder of Reset Brain and Body, an integrative mental health care company that is on a mission to redefine how people experience mental health care. I work specifically with C-Suite, Executive and Entrepreneurial clients looking to level up their intuition, remove habitual blockages and overcome trauma, cycles of stress, limiting beliefs and self-sabotage.

Hello and welcome. As a therapist, I strive to provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in which individuals feel comfortable exploring and applying growth and change. For some, the thought of seeking therapy can feel intimidating, and for others, it can feel empowering. I work with each client collaboratively to address concerns in a way they feel is comfortable, whether it is brief therapy focusing on problem solving for current life stressors, or it is further exploration and identification of deeper issues. My goal is to support and assist you in developing ways to adapt to, improve or overcome your challenges.

I do not believe that we are meant to merely survive in life, but rather, THRIVE! However, things in life, from mere annoyances to severe traumas, can rob us of the joy, energy, hope, and love of life! My goal as a therapist is that through compassionate & active listening, guidance, education, support and encouragement, you and I together can work through these issues that are holding you back, and set you on a new path of growth, hope and healing.

Life throws us curve balls and sometimes feels really hard but together we can find the path through that works for you. I specialize in counseling services for adolescents and adults experiencing life stress, depression or anxiety and hold a certification in EMDR. In addition, I have advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health which allows me to offer specialized care to hopeful and current parents managing pre/postpartum concerns.

Don't hold on to the past; it won't help in moving forward. Dare to dream big, and keep moving forward. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma/PTSD, self esteem concerns or stress management issues, lets find some time to talk about ways to cope and create a brighter tomorrow.

I believe change is possible when people feel safe, supported, and empowered to make the life changes they want to see for themselves. I think we are all born with a story, however, through empowerment and self-awareness we are able to write the chapters of our lives that align with our most authentic selves. I strive to provide a comfortable and safe therapeutic environment for my clients to be able to openly discuss any life challenges they may face.

You don’t need a diagnosed condition to benefit from talking to someone. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I utilize a person-centered approach. You are the focus. Your experience, goals, desired results, and expectations from therapy will be the first topic. I provide a welcoming, comfortable, and safe space that utilizes a range of integrative treatments that allow you to challenge, reflect, and accept yourself. I believe in the role of attachment-based & somatic-based interventions which allow for the healing of the nervous system. I specialize in treating trauma/adverse life experiences, anxiety, and depressive disorders.

There are many reasons people seek out counseling and support. Sometimes life becomes too overwhelming, anxiety increases, depression may be setting in, relationships may become challenging, or maybe you're just not feeling like yourself and want to explore those feelings. You may be looking to take some of that weight off of your shoulders, reduce challenging symptoms, develop coping skills, explore your feelings, or connect with yourself on a deeper level. I am here to provide a safe and supportive environment to address those issues and walk with you on your counseling journey.

My goal is to utilize a person-centered, intersectional, affirming, judgement free, and trauma-informed approach, and I hope to create a comfortable and safe environment for you to process, heal, and grow.
