Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Canton, MI

I currently have six openings available for New Clients! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor in Plymouth. I provide a professional environment to help soothe any anxiety one may have over starting the counseling experience. I graduated from the University of Arkansas, Alpha Epsilon Lambda, and received my Masters in Counseling while earning a certification in Rehabilitation Counseling. I specialize in depression, anxiety, women's issues, grief, family conflict, substance abuse, court-required counseling, and life adjustment.

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.

I have been in the helping field for the past 18 years, in various settings and have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, varying in: age, gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity. I have worked with individuals with a variety of diagnoses and life circumstances ranging from depression, anxiety, divorce/separation, adjustment disorder, bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. My approach is compassionate and straight-forward using an eclectic style with motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness . I look forward to working for you and with you to address your needs.

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. Just as every individual is unique, I believe therapeutic intervention is unique to the needs of my patients. I believe that achieving these needs involves both mind and body. 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 name is Mary Ellen Rievert and I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years working with clients of all backgrounds, ages, beliefs, genders and religions. My experience also includes working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, medical hospitals and community mental health settings. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy. Taking into consideration what you are feeling mindfully as well as your emotions and physical symptoms. 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.

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 acceptance.

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. In working with high-achieving clients, I bring a bold, creative and experiential approach unlike any traditional therapy experience. My own experience as a business owner and corporate director has led me to create a passionate approach to working with this clientele.

Mental health is as important as physical health. We live in a society in which we experience trauma and are confronted with major stressors. We have not been taught how to cope in healthy ways. I work with people to develop strategies to minimize distress by identifying and implementing healthy coping mechanisms to use throughout their lifetime. I believe that the client/therapist relationship is central to a person's ability to change and grow. My practice is informed by mindfulness and non judgmental. I incorporate a variety of evidenced based therapeutic approaches to assist in improving overall mental wellness.

Are you struggling with anxiety or memories of traumatic events? Do you need to deal with guilt, shame, or grief? 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 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.

My ideal client is someone who is ready for change and comes to therapy for guidance, support and coping strategies to help them on their way. Healing comes from our own efforts and reflections. I especially love to work with folks who want to understand the mind-body connection and are open to integrative methods such as mindfulness , meditation, breathing and restorative yoga.

I’m passionate about working with adults coping with symptoms of chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, or chronic pain. I help clients take a holistic look at the mental, emotional, physical, and contextual factors that influence the experience of pain – whether it’s emotional or physical pain. I also love to work with individuals going through life transitions of all kinds, but especially the transition to motherhood. I believe transitions offer us a powerful opportunity to turn inward and reconnect with ourselves.

Life can be challenging but together we can find the path through those challenges! I specialize in counseling services for adolescents and adults experiencing depression or anxiety. I also have advanced training in perinatal mental health and am able to offer specialized care to hopeful and current parents managing pre/postpartum concerns. I follow a person centered approach to treatment, tailored to fit your needs. Whether you'd like to improve your relationships, decrease those worried thoughts, or increase your motivation, I would love to help you.

All clients are welcome, but I am especially motivated to work with adolescents and young adults, IPV survivors, and LGBTQIA+ identifying folks. I work from a strength-based perspective, so together with my clients we will identify and work to apply their core strengths to heal, grow, and bloom. Our strengths are always present within us and I hope in working with clients, we can reinforce clients' ability to call upon those strengths as a guide to help overcome difficulties and most importantly, feel empowered.

If you (or your adolescent) are feeling stuck in life, overwhelmed by daily stressors, having trouble managing emotions, or feel like you're "just not yourself anymore," I'm here for you. Life is full of obstacles that hold us back from our dream lives. School, work, relationships, family, health, finances, and sometimes our own thinking can absolutely overwhelm us. Together, we can explore, heal, find balance and manage these obstacles so that you can become YOU again.

Healing is not linear, there are no set rules, but the journey is worth it. Practicing patience and compassion for oneself is one of the greatest acts of self-care. I value and celebrate each and every person’s individuality and cultivate a safe, non-judgmental and open environment for my clients to show up just as they are, and allow them the space and time to feel safe, heard and able to continue their journey of healing.

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.
