Elders (65+) Therapists in Northville, MI

I believe it is a honor and privilege to be able to help and come alongside a person as they are going through a difficult time in their life. My goal is to provide a safe environment where a individual can come and share concerns, feelings and address issues that are impacting their life. I truly believe that the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client is of upmost importance to the client meeting their goals. Everyone has their own story to tell that involves their own personal experiences. This is why I believe the importance of looking at a persons life from when they were born to present day.

I work with adults who want to understand why their lives are not going the way they want and who unsuccessfully have struggled to overcome their challenges on their own. I have 20 years of experience in independent clinical practice and have trained hundreds of individuals to become psychologists. Having a strong background in higher education and academia, I am familiar with the latest treatment advances and can tailor my work with you to best suit your individual needs.

If you’re struggling right now to cope with some of the tough life challenges coming your way, know that mental health therapy is highly effective with results that can be life-changing and very gratifying. I look forward to compassionately and collaboratively providing the emotional support you need.

Asking for help can be incredibly difficult, but I'd like to help change that. Are you feeling overwhelmed after a loss? Do you feel stuck, trapped, helpless or lost in life? Are you anxious, angry or depressed while navigating a difficult life transition? Do you struggle with feelings of shame and/or low self-esteem? Or are you feeling stressed and in need of guidance entering a new phase of life? You don’t have to navigate these feelings alone.

Do you feel like life is harder than it needs to be? Have you tried lots of things that haven't seemed to work as you'd hoped? At the end of the day, you just want to feel better, and I am here to help you with that. I can help you figure out how you got where you are and how to untangle everything so that you feel like you're back in control of your life. If you're ready for something different and to start feeling better again, I'm here for you. All sessions are virtual using my secure, confidential platform.

My blog is my calling card. Healing, positive change, and personal growth from the inside out is not for cowards. Read my blog to understand where I am coming from. Even if you believe you already know "everything" there is to understand about your specific circumstances, guess what? There is always another way to look at what you are struggling through. My job is to come up along side you and assist you in recognizing what you need to learn (and then do!)---as well as what you need to let go of (once and for all!). You will learn how to set yourself free from those chains that bind you. Live in peace, not in pieces anymore.

Are you feeling out of sorts? Maybe overwhelmed, sad, down, worry too much, hurt too much, and don’t know what do to next? Or maybe you are experiencing deep grief and would like some relief from the relentless tears and sadness. Believe me you are not alone. Remembering times in my life when I did not even know what I was feeling, I felt so isolated, lost and confused. I happened to stumble upon a professional that helped me. Someone that I could trust and felt very comfortable with. I was very hesitant to take this step but somehow I did. It was by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. This is why I became a therapist.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain" - Anonymous. My therapy style is warm and compassionate as I work with clients who desire to not just cope with life, but to thrive. My goal is to help you achieve and live the life you want and deserve, and I do this by helping you remove the blocks of personal growth, improve relationships with yourself and others, and find relief from your struggles. I use a diverse set of therapy "techniques" but mostly prefer to base our therapy on your specific needs.

I have a private practice working with individuals, couples and families. I also work extensively with teens and children. My primary focus is working with stress, anxiety disorders and depression; however, I also work with addictions, eating disorders, parenting issues and basic conflict resolution . I follow a cognitive/behavioral approach for anxiety and depression, as well as a psychodynamic approach in other areas. My goal is to help my clients develop a clearer understanding of their feelings, thoughts and emotions, and then begin to work to make positive, life-enhancing changes in their lives.

Taking that first step to seek help can be difficult, but I would be honored to join you on this journey of wellness and growth. I will work with you to overcome challenges so you can live a more fulfilling life. By gaining a better understanding of yourself today, we’ll work to develop an increased ability to cope with life’s tumbling blocks, and help you gain a renewed sense of empowerment and commitment to your overall wellness. Together we’ll identify and achieve your goals for therapy.

Everyone deserves to live a rich and meaningful life, but we all face challenges that can make this seem unattainable. I aim to help my clients make practical changes in their lives while also addressing the underlying emotional, psychological, and social issues that are interfering with their ability to thrive. I am especially experienced in working with depression and anxiety, relationship issues, and queer issues. I work with couples as well as individual adults and adolescents.

"Alpha" means beginnings, and it was our hope 25 years ago when Alpha Psychological Services was established, that people who came here would have fresh starts, new possibilities, and new beginnings for happier, stronger,healthier lives. Our ideal client is anyone who wants to make his/her life better and make good changes.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile page. My passion is helping people find and reclaim their inner strengths and abilities. All too often, therapy focuses on the negatives - i.e. what is going wrong with life. I believe it is just as important to figure out what is going right, and that is why we will work on two things: 1.) Lessening you or your child's suffering, and 2.) Building up self-esteem and self-reliance in the process.

I help adults, couples, and families to finally experience the type of connection and relationships they long for. Many of us can use support in achieving true self-awareness, self-love, and the courage to be authentic; all are required for rich relationships. Through a safe, collaborative environment, I help clients to manage depression & anxiety, process relationship dynamics, heal old wounds, shift their narratives, manage life changes, and feel present. I help couples and families improve communication, improve connection and intimacy, learn how to repair, and work through issues like infidelity, parenting, separation & loss.

I am not a normal therapist. I am told that I am gifted at being very intuitive and perceptive so I catch on in a hurry and tend to give a lot of feedback rather than "uh huh and how do you feel about that?' .I am able to break things down into easy to understand language so clients better comprehend their personal issues and ways to heal and to better manage their lives.This is communicated with warmth,compassion,and a sense of humor.I am very active with my clients.

I specialize in insight oriented psychotherapy as well as a brief form of solution focused counseling and coaching. I serve as Executive Director of PCS, with outpatient clinics in Northville and Brighton, where I provide individuals,couples, and families with an integrated therapy which combines cognitive behavioral and psychoanalytic approaches.
