I appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable and seek a partner in change. I welcome you as you are and will create a safe, judgement-free space for you to share your thoughts and feelings.

Imagine being in therapy for years and not feeling like you get anywhere. The problems continue and you just feel stuck.... That is how many of my patients feel when they begin therapy with me. While I cannot issue a golden guarantee, I utilize evidenced-based techniques to help you unstick yourself. You can expect to make a treatment plan and have it reviewed quarterly. The treatment planning process helps us get on the same wavelength to see the next steps. I offer in-person and telehealth services. I love telehealth because I can see you in your natural environment, gaining insight into your life faster than inan office setting.

Perhaps anxiety takes hold, leaving you on edge and questioning every move you make. Trauma and pain from your past keep you firmly stuck, hindering your ability to heal and move forward. Your ADHD makes you feel either ‘too much’ or ‘not enough’ and question where you even belong. It all feels unbearable, sinking you into the depths of depression. If you've had enough of trying to go it alone and are ready for some help, I'm glad you are here.

I do not limit my practice to serving only those who consider themselves “a person with a disability;” however, I do appreciate that EVERYONE has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to help the individuals I work with identify and enhance their strengths so they can more efficiently use them to minimize the effects of weaknesses as barriers to achieving their goals and improved quality of life. To achieve these outcomes, I rely upon evidence-based cognitive and behavioral interventions, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy that are tailored to each client’s unique history, present concerns, and future plans.

As far as anyone knows you are successful, intelligent, and hard-working. But underneath that surface is someone who struggles with fears, obsessions, compulsions, phobias, nervous feelings, and constant worries. Anxiety has a physical effect on your body and can cause muscle tension, stomach aches, and headaches. My clients have anxiety and OCD. They spend lots of time organizing, cleaning, checking, washing their hands, and making sure things feel just right. Ladies who see me often have a past history of traumatic experiences.

If life and/or relationships are confusing or painful, I may be of help. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship conflicts are just some of the areas I treat.

If you experience a pattern of disappointment and hurt in your relationships, you might begin to wonder what you're doing wrong. You may feel anxious around others and read into what they do and say to determine how they feel about you. Conflict might bring up feelings of unworthiness and self-blame. Others seem to have such ease with relationships, and you don’t understand why it feels like such a struggle to find and keep connections that feel secure. As hard as you've tried, you've not been able to interrupt this pattern and you worry you’ll feel this way forever.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period is often seen as an exciting and happy time, but for many people, it's also met with lots of anxiety ("How do I balance it all? Will my baby be born safe and healthy?"), unexpected sadness or depression, recovery from a traumatic birth experience, or even the challenge of struggling to get or stay pregnant at all. If this sounds like you, I'd love to walk beside you on your perinatal journey, with all the ups and downs it has to offer. I provide comprehensive, evidence-based counseling services for adults in Chelsea, Michigan.

Hello, my name is Brett Johnson and I have worked in mental health since 2006, first providing direct care. I received my a BA degree from Albion College in 2009, and served in the Peace Corps from 2010 to 2012 as a youth development volunteer in Bulgaria. Following my Peace Corps service, I worked as a case manager for adults who receive mental health services from 2012 to 2020. I received my MSW degree from Western Michigan University in 2020 and I have worked as a clinical social worker and therapist at Peaceful Mind Counseling Services since then.

Though often painful, problems have a way of pushing us towards growth. We may wonder why we can’t find a partner, why our work feels so unsatisfying, why we compulsively seek the comfort of alcohol or food, or why our lives feel so meaningless. We may feel tired of replaying the past. Importantly, we may simply feel overwhelmed living in a disconnected society where many people are marginalized. While internal work can be productive, it’s important to examine and understand the role of our environment.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or other painful feelings? Do you experience difficulties with intense emotions sometimes? Most people do. When that happens, it can feel like your emotions are unmanageable- as if you are caught up in flood waters and you have no control over your environment, swept along wherever your emotions take you. Maybe a trauma in your past or a personality disorder can make these emotions even more challenging. Fortunately, therapy can help resolve these emotional strangleholds, and you can acquire peace of mind and mental wellbeing.
