Therapists in Fenton, MI

Have you felt overwhelmed? Are you looking to learn how to cope? Anxiety, depression, and questions about a person’s identity can all make it seem impossible to flourish. However, no matter what you have encountered, there is hope! Together we will explore how past patterns may be holding you or your child back from truly thriving.

I am seeing clients as usual as I am the only person at my office. I am also doing telehealth sessions with clients.

I've been doing this work for 46 years now, and still love it. And, I'm used to being successful at what I do. The challenge for me is people's "inside" language - what takes place beneath awareness. This is akin to the language of poetry and myth. I then translate between the worlds of "problem reality" and the deeper emergent Self - which is why I find this work rewarding. In working with couples I seek to translate the language (hopes and dreams) of each to that richer place between and behind - where hope becomes real. Go see my website.

Are you looking for assistance with managing stress, relationships, grief, parenting, anxiety, trauma and/or depression? Or, are you interested in help with weight loss, adjustment to illness, or stopping smoking? I am a board certified Health Psychologist specializing in short-term counseling (usually 6-10 visits but could be more/less). I believe that people benefit more from short spurts of counseling over a lifetime (as needed) rather than meeting regularly for long periods of time. I give you the skills. You live life and return as needed. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy.

My passion is working one-on-one with youth to empower them to begin the process of healing, growth, and success. Childhood and adolescence are crucial phases in development, including facing new challenges. These challenges can leave us feeling stressed and unsure how to move forward. We will work as partners to build the skills to conquer them. I strive to create a therapy environment that is non-judgmental and safe.

I am dedicated to meeting people where they are at and helping them achieve their goals. I have experience working with children, adults, and families on a variety of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, behavior difficulties, and life stress/transitions. I integrate attachment, DBT, CBT, and ACT interventions in my work with clients.

As a counselor, my goal is to help people of all ages reach their full potential. I know that people pursue counseling for many different reasons and because no two individuals are the same, each person is as unique as the situations they encounter. Because there are many variables that affect people individually, strategies for the therapeutic relationship will differ on a case by case basis. I will use a variety of evidence-based counseling techniques and principles to help you in your counseling journey.

EMDR is a treatment modality proven to successfully treat people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or a multitude of other experiences: domestic violence, sexual assault, violent crime. My practice focus is the treatment of children and adults seeking to heal from trauma, anxiety and depression. I understand the importance of seeking professional help. I like to help my clients determine why they are experiencing their life challenges and that is my life's passion, providing emotional support and relief to those who have become stuck in their past experiences so they can live a more fulfilled present and future.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and strongly believe in a holistic wellness approach. Using EMDR and other therapeutic interventions to serve your mind, body, and soul allows me to see you as a whole person. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, disability-related barriers, PTSD, cancer, hearing loss, or other stressors I am here to support you! I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified rehabilitation counselor with over 18 years of counseling experience providing a compassionate approach using a variety of individualized therapeutic interventions.

I have 30 yrs of rich experience evaluating & treating young children, birth to school age children, as well as teens. I also support adults/parents. I will complete a comprehensive evaluation which will allow you & I to look at what your child needs & how to best meet these needs. I also have experience dealing with the medical field & school systems. I can help you navigate these systems to make sure your child’s needs are successfully met. As a psychotherapist, I will support you & your child through sessions that may include individual, 1 on 1 psychotherapy, family or couples counseling. Child sessions will include play therapy.

The foundation of every therapeutic relationship is built on empathy, trust and unconditional positive regard. Most often I find that my clients just want a safe person to trust who is able to kindly challenge them when needed while offering a fresh perspective to their own thinking. I am honored to afford my clients both the presence and the space they need to heal from their pain. I believe life is a journey. I believe in the presence and power of God in the healing process as well as the importance of personal choice, responsibility and perspective.

Some of my professional expertise include Christian counseling, depression & anxiety, stress/anger management, OCD, ADHD, marital, premarital, assertiveness and self-esteem, grief and loss,blended family, family, recovery from divorce, recovery from infidelity, abuse recovery, communication and listening skills, guilt, some addiction counseling, and more. I see individuals, couples, groups, children, teens, adults, families.

Life is known to throw some curveballs and I am passionate about helping pick up the pieces of those traumas and life stressors. I strive to create a safe, open and honest environment for all clients to share in. I work with children, adults and families with a variety of issues. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I explore many techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based interventions, play therapy techniques, family therapy and more.

Is your child having behavioral or emotional issues? Have you or your child experienced trauma? I am committed to helping children, adolescents and families through these challenges through evidence based, effective quality services. I work with clients of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or who have experienced trauma.

I believe that the most important component of therapy is the genuine connection that is formed between a client and their therapist. This connection forms the foundation for emotional growth and is the most important factor in achieving our goals in therapy. I have an innate ability to genuinely connect with people and provide them with unconditional positive acceptance and support.
