Couples Counseling Therapists in Grand Blanc, MI

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." Marcus Aurelius. I believe happiness is a choice, with that said, what is standing in the way of your happiness? Would it be relationship problems? Past trauma? Forgiveness? Finances? Stress from children? There could be endless reasons why happiness appears to be an unattainable goal or just an illusion. Let me help you work through what is preventing you from happiness, and begin experiencing a new way of life, a new you.

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.

Is anxiety, grief, or past trauma beginning to affect every facet of your life? Are you feeling lonely and desperate to be understood? Maybe you are experiencing crippling physical symptoms: panic attacks, difficulty breathing, and racing thoughts. Perhaps you’re feeling the pressure from those around you to be “done” grieving, when in fact the loss you’ve experienced has changed you forever. If you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, the influence of your identity on your personal relationships can be especially hard. No matter what you are feeling today, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief.

Do you wish you and your partner were on the same page, more connected, and could talk about problems without the arguments growing hostile and volatile? Are you suffering physical/emotional issues due to the breakdown or loss of a relationship? Are you feeling betrayed and traumatized by your partner? Are you engaged and looking for effective premarital counseling to help you head off challenges later? Are you struggling to cope, and grieving, after a recent divorce, or some other major loss? Have you lost a grip on your faith after feeling left behind, hurt, or abused by your religious community?

My name is Christopher Baumann, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I understand that often we go through life managing internal struggles, while attempting to navigate our circumstances. By seeking greater understanding into us and our relationships, we may come face to face with our deepest doubts and fears. Avoiding struggles and pain opens up the possibility for dysfunction, negativity, and neglect. Being a human is messy. It's not as neat as our "should" and "shouldn't" would have us believe. You are allowed to talk about things that upset you. You are allowed to hold people accountable.

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.

I have several years of experience in grief counseling, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and couples counseling. I am committed to helping you work through your struggles and achieve emotional wellness.

My goal is to add as much value to my clients' lives as possible. To do so, I need to connect with my clients in a way that helps organize, improve, and focus their control on their issues. My ideal client is the one that, whether they are conscious about it or not, allows me to help them. This client recognizes the importance of seeking help from others and not trying to fix everything on their own. The goal of my ideal client is to get emotionally healthier. Whether its just someone to talk to about life, someone with severe emotional issues, or anything in-between, I am ready and willing to be there for them, to help.

We all experience periods of struggle in our lives as an individual, a family, or a couple. The struggles are real, be it abuse, addiction, bullying, low self-confidence, stress, grief, illness, relationship issues, family issues. Whatever the struggle is, we do our best to overcome it but only to be left overwhelmed, exhausted, alone, and “feed up.” This is when we may need a little help from a caring professional who knows what to do. Seeking help from a professional can be difficult. I congratulate you for taking that step.

*Now offering ADHD evaluations* My goal is to provide a relaxed environment where you feel free and supported to explore your thoughts and feelings. I work to help you recognize your true emotions that may be hiding behind initial reactions of defensiveness or anger. Together, we can identify maladaptive patterns of behavior that may be contributing to symptoms of depression or anxiety, or that may be creating barriers to communication. Identification of these patterns provides the opportunity to change them and ultimately find more joy in experiences, intimacy in relationships, and the ability to communicate effectively.

Calling all fiercely compassionate, anxious, self-doubters! Are you kept awake at night by your worries and overthinking? Do you have a nagging voice inside saying you are never good enough? Do you feel dissatisfied with your relationships or just feel stuck? This can be very painful and it’s a common theme for highly attuned individuals (empaths, highly sensitive individuals, and/or chaos/trauma survivors). Unfortunately, we are socialized to avoid painful emotions and when we do so we cause more harm to our minds (hello inner critic!) and our bodies (hello headaches and chronic pain!).
