Adults Therapists in New Buffalo, MI

I provide a judgement free place to find your way & figure it out. Commitment to my clients begins with a belief in the ability of individuals to advocate for themselves & choose their own path. You decide how you want to live your life. Our instincts, emotions & feelings are a gift; they are the natural barometer for navigating our lives. Often we misinterpret or fear those emotions & fall into a holding pattern as to how to move forward. We all get stuck. Let me help you move forward. I have extensive experience working with children (ages 3-17), families and adults.

Our goals in therapy are to make dynamic changes in your life, or learn to face uncertainty with emotional resilience, to thrive and flourish even after trauma or loss. I offer a dedicated, experienced and professional listening ear, compassionate spirit, and a clear, supportive guiding voice. Learn to develop your strengths, coping skills, and improve your energy. Our focus is to change, to solve the problems at hand, and to learn how to problem solve for the future, and create lasting differences for an improved lifestyle. Hablo Español, Je parle français.

My work with adults and teens focuses on integrating the body and mind to help you reconnect with yourself, address symptoms and behavioral patterns, and make positive changes in your life. My office creates a beautiful, accepting environment where you can safely explore what arises as we work through the therapy process together.

Are you feeling like you have lost yourself? That you are lost and alone. You want to be “on top of things”, but you are exhausted with all of the responsibilities. It feels like you have to be perfect: be the perfect woman, be the perfect mom, be a perfect young adult, have a great career and be healthy. It’s overwhelming! During all of this Chaos, you are certain of this, that you are ready for relief. You’re ready to heal, you’re ready to smile again, you’re ready to enjoy life again, you’re ready to find a career you love.

You know all the right things about mental health, but your emotions still feel overwhelming. People often comment about how well-adjusted your are or compliment you on your success, but in truth, you don't feel this way. You feel stuck in your mind and struggle to process what you feel so that your can heal. It's even possible that you have tried therapy before, but you weren't able to achieve the change you wanted. If you relate to this, I can help you better understand what is going on and we can work together to get back to your most natural self.

With over twenty-five years of experience, I am dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate, and individualized psychotherapy to help you achieve change and personal growth. I understand that what may work in helping one person meet their goals may not work for another. Therefore, I use a flexible, individualized, and integrative approach to help you achieve a greater sense of well being by gaining understanding and greater mastery over the factors that underlie your difficulties. I will also work with you to build on your existing strengths and develop new skills to resolve your concerns.

Thank you for visiting our post! We believe people come to therapy equipped with the tools needed to flourish in life and relationships. Sometimes the trials and tribulations of life get in the way. Unresolved fear(s), the past and loss can become barriers. We hope to assist those with the desire to grow in some area of their personal life and are willing to explore how to reach their potential. Our role is to come alongside and help build solutions that support the individual's best hopes.

I am passionate about working with teens through older adults who feel that life is unmanageable and they feel out of step with the world. Often these are individuals with a trauma history, who are struggling with intense emotions or relationships they can’t manage. Feeling "out of step" can lead to feelings of self judgment and isolation. When invited into that space of struggle I will seek to provide a space for you to gain skills, find support to increase connections, safety and individual strength.

We feel pain in many ways; worry, anger, confusion, and sadness. Our past has taught us how to respond to these feelings. Problems start when the way we have learned to cope is no longer working for us. My goal is to help identify thoughts, emotions, and action patterns. I promote mindfulness, art therapy, mind-body connection, and cognitive behavioral change. From there, we can collaborate to work toward your goals and find a more fulfilling way to live.

Oftentimes, the impacts of past pain leave us feeling drained, overwhelmed and confused about our path forward. We can lack a sense of self-worth, after being hurt by the very people who were supposed to take care of us. I help clients reconnect to their inner power to reparent and restore lost parts of themselves. On this journey, I guide clients in reawakening their naturally empowered, vibrant selves. I specialize in working with adults, couples, teens and families seeking healing, connection, and change both inside of themselves and within their closest relationships.

We all deserve a place where we can feel safe and supported. Through my practice, I aim to provide a genuine, non-judgmental, and empathic space for you to explore your concerns and work towards your personal goals. I believe that therapy is meant to help people learn more about themselves and their experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to share their thoughts, process their emotions and experiences, develop insight, improve their relationships, and build skills for managing distress.

Hi, I’m Meredith, a Licensed Social Worker certified in TF-CBT. I have a passion for helping young minds navigate the challenges they face and grow into resilient, confident individuals. With 13 years of mental health experience, I specialize in providing compassionate and effective support to children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental issues.

Therapy is a place to identify and explore your strengths. It is my goal to create a safe space where you can do that. In therapy, we will collaborate to help you engage with your authentic self. My main goals will be to help you regain a sense of control and resolution from past experiences and, through our collaborative efforts, to increase your sense of self-awareness and self-direction. I have experience working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, suicidality, personality disorders, interpersonal issues, and individuals in addiction and recovery. I work with young adults, adults, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC.

For over 20 years I have been involved in the mental health system and have had the privilege of helping individuals & families achieve their goals and overcome a variety of challenges (i.e. depression, anxiety, mood disorders, new transitions, relational, & substance abuse struggles). While speaking both English & Spanish languages, my hope is that each individual that I encounter will gain a better understanding of themselves, and also learn valuable skills to move forward towards a more fulfilling and flourishing life---to be able to find 'Peace of Mind'--within themselves and within their surroundings.

I provide individual psychotherapy to clients who are experiencing distress in their lives. This includes children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life changes, and a wide range of psychosocial stressors. I am a graduate of University of Central Florida, Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, a top ten program in the nation. I have experience working in private practice and residential facilities treating severe and persistent mental illnesses. We will work together in defining your goals and figuring out how to approach obstacles you may be facing.
