Trauma Focused Therapists in Clare County, MI
I believe in a holistic approach to wellness. Our mind and body are connected to make up who we are. It is often hard work to get better and it requires commitment and patience. There will be times you will want to give up, however, know that I will be with you throughout the healing process. I will listen with an open mind and sometimes push you a little out of your comfort zone. My goal is to help you heal past hurts, hang ups and traumas.

I have been working in the field of Social Work/Mental Health since 2011. I am passionate about supporting individuals in learning about and processing through the ways life experiences and traumas have impacted them. I find that often times (not always) people develop symptoms related to anxiety, depression & other mental/behavioral health issues because of how they have learned to respond to and survive through traumas and adverse life experiences.

I am especially passionate about supporting those through the often overwhelming experiences of pregnancy and postpartum, coping with infertility and loss, enduring seasons of loneliness, or struggling with body image and self-love.

Caught in the stressful in-between of feeling anxious and afraid of what others might think of “the real you” and wanting to be your genuine self? People say you are too in touch with your feelings, but at the same time you are afraid to confide in your parents, friends or colleagues? You desperately want to feel better but aren’t sure how to get there...feeling like you've tried everything? Deep down you know you have high potential, but often feel like a disappointment to yourself and others. Your emotions feel like a burden and the last thing you want to do is share them with the people you care most about.

Through my training in trauma focused treatment methods I have integrated that perspective into the support and guidance provided for all client sessions.
While the bulk of my direct client interactions over the years have been with young people under age 18, the variety of my working experiences have allowed me to offer the same therapeutic approaches to adults in several manners as well. This includes individual adults, parents and caregivers, and mixed generation families.

Hi all, my name is Ben and it’s good to meet you. More than any particular technique, I ground my practice in humanistic perspectives, putting an emphasis on prioritizing one’s own needs and treating all with unconditional positive regard. Additionally, I see the client as the expert of their lives, I’m just a companion to assist and support along the way. Within treatment, I often utilize mindfulness, psychoeducation, and acceptance of life’s truths, both the easy and difficult. Connect with me and we’ll see what other connections we can make.

We specialize in treating OCD and Trauma / PTSD, and we are pretty good at helping people who feel like they are losing hope. Our strategy involves recognizing what else is going on - like Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, or Suicidal Thoughts - and folding that into your treatment plan. We call this a "whole-person approach," and it can make a huge difference in the way a person feels as they move through treatment. We firmly believe that everyone can be helped, no matter how severe or complex the case.

The ideal client would be an individual who is engaged in the process of change and healing. One who is open and willing to share. To take a quote from, The Purpose Driven Life, 'There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss, and no loss without pain.' If it is time to let go of the old and experience the new, allow me to support the journey.

It’s exhausting trying to live your life when you're operating from a place of chronic stress and anxiety; feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and depleted by the demands of daily life. Sometimes these patterns can be connected to past trauma where you’ve learned to stay on high alert or push through at all costs. You’re so overcome by trying to meet the expectations and demands of others that you have trouble advocating for yourself or feel guilty when attempting to rest or put yourself first. You want to fully engage in your life but there’s a constant pressure to keep up, perform at your highest, do more, and keep it all together.

Does life feel out of balance sometimes or that your decision making is a little sluggish? Maybe you need a maintenance checkup on your wellness wheel. Your wellness wheel consists of interconnected dimensions that comprise mind, body and spirit. Once these dimensions are no longer operating in harmony, it is like driving around with a flat tire. It makes the ride a little shaky, steering becomes a struggle, the car may feel out of control, and all of this becomes an obstacle to your destination. At Come As You Are Counseling, our clinicians have a variety of skills to help you be intentional in bringing harmony to your life.
