Aetna Therapists in Farmington Hills, MI

As a therapist, I'm here to help you overcome the challenges and difficulties that you're facing. I specialize in providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My philosophical approach is guided by my unwavering belief in people's ability to achieve their greatest potential & become their true authentic self.

Are you struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Are you having trouble with school or work, making friends, or low self-esteem?

"There are just some times in life when it can often help to talk." I have twenty-five years of experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples and older adolescents. Talking and working in a therapeutic relationship can be an opportunity to identify issues, thoughts and behaviors that may cause distress for someone in their life and relationships. I believe that a deepened and thoughtful understanding of the self offers the possibility of new choices and healthy choices that can enhance personal peace and contentment.

Skill, experience and kindness are qualities many seek in a therapist. When you are suffering with personal problems, you want to know that you will be heard and understood in ways that will help you find ways to expand your own self-understanding. A good therapist - the right therapist for you - is one who can "think together" with you to help find new solutions to old problems. The Mel Bornstein Clinic for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy was established upon a 60-year tradition of offering just this kind of help.

Are you struggling with loneliness, depression, repetitive worries, shame, and/or conflictual relationships? Are you or a loved one excessively using a substance? Are any of these concerns interfering in your ability to enjoy life? If so, psychotherapy can help you get unstuck, mobilize your strengths, and assist you in processing painful experiences.

I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling and Mental Health Counseling from Wayne State University. I gained experience working with clients during my schooling and my internship at the VA Medical Center. I am available in both in-person and online telehealth sessions for your convenience. I work with adolescents and adults on issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, work conflicts, career exploration, and interpersonal relationships. I provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families.

I have discovered in my 30+ years as a therapist that when we get stuck in a certain way of feeling, thinking, or behaving which interferes with our happiness, it is usually rooted in a past historyor perhaps a singular past experience, which traps us in a "programmed" way of being. I work with people to liberate them from these patterns which are often ways that the brain processes these experiences and when they can be reprocessed a person can have a much more functional and happy life. Anxiety, depression and relationship dysfunction can often be healed using these principals.

Life can present you with all kinds of challenges and you do not need to face them alone. Aside from the treatment of mental illness, people attend therapy for many different reasons: to learn how to better communicate in their relationships, to explore feelings following a divorce or another big life change, to cope with a sudden loss or traumatic event, or to manage anxiety around a stressful job. Everyone’s story is different, and I am here to listen to yours. As a therapist, I strive to create a caring and accepting environment. I believe that everyone has the ability to improve their life, build resilience, and find happiness.
