Therapists in Paw, MI

The most important choice you will ever make is not the one you made yesterday, but the one you make today. Tomorrow is in the future, today is now, choose today. The time is now. I empower people to achieve personal, professional, and spiritual growth in their lives. I am committed to helping others change their lives by exploring personal strengths.

Hello! My name is Jay Maddock. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I aim to foster an open, inclusive, and affirming space where clients feel safe to explore their concerns honestly and authentically. I believe in a person-centered therapeutic approach where I provide support and guidance to help clients build skills they need to grow and stretch as they confront issues in their lives. In my work with clients, I meet clients where they are with honesty, warmth, compassion, and humor. Together we will set goals that feel relevant and achievable and focus on what is important to you.

Nobody knows you like you know yourself. Your past decisions weigh on you and stop you from moving forward, to a place of peace and growth. Your past does not determine your future, each day is a new opportunity to start fresh. You may doubt who you are or what you want out of life, but you are the keeper of your story and do have power over your future. Your journey to finding the best life possible begins when you decide to make the change. I consider it an honor to walk down the path of exploration with you. No journey is too big or small, I believe in honoring all of life’s moments with my clients in a nonjudgmental environment.

For the past five years my focus has been on delivering evidenced-based family therapy to families within our communities. Within this time frame, I have worked with families and individuals to alleviate the various stressors that plague our lives on a daily basis. My focus revolves around empowering those I work with using a strength-based focus and addressing the individuals or families most pressing issues using a collaborative approach.

Hi there! Are you interested in learning how to effectively live your life the way you want to live it? You likely already have some of these skills. I can help you to identify these skills and maximize their benefits while offering you the individualized support you need at being successful in living how you want to live.  Managing stress, anxiety, depression and many other challenges that life can throw at you is my specialty. Learning to understand the ineffective processes of your negative patterns and reactions will offer you a new perspective.

Therapy can be a great tool utilized to gain an outside perspective and possible new insights to the issues you are focused on resolving. Life is complicated and complex. It can be a great benefit to have someone that you can explore your thoughts with, without the worry of bias. Therapy can look very different for each person or couple and can be set up in a way that makes the patient feel comfortable. My goal is to create a comfortable atmosphere in which everyone can feel at ease exploring their goals and how their actions are helping or stopping progress. Goals may be related to an emotion, a difficult situation or other areas.

The path to a quality world can be intimidating for people. I understand how it can feel like it is one that you are on alone. My work with diverse groups: adolescents, people that identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, and people with disabilities (PWDs) informs me of some of these challenges. My experience supporting clients in their path to wellness through anxiety, depression, trauma, disability acceptance, adoption/reunification, incarceration, personality disorders and relationship/intimacy challenges makes me confident in the progress we can achieve in counseling together.

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.

Life comes with difficulties and we shouldn't face them alone. Do you want to feel more connected with your spouse, have a better relationship with your children, or find more meaning in life? Therapy can help you achieve these goals and many others. My role as your therapist is to work alongside you, and through our therapeutic relationship, help you identify your goals and remove barriers that have been holding you back from reaching these goals. I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore and tackle marital/couple conflict, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD/Trauma and finding purpose in life.

When individuals are struggling with their mental health, substance use, or other life stresses they might not always know where to go for help. My job as a therapist is to provide you with a safe space where you can separate these ongoing challenges, feel less overwhelmed, and take control of your life. We will focus on setting realistic therapeutic goals, empowerment, and not letting these challenges define who you are as a person. By working together, we can achieve stabilization to envision how you want your life to be.

I am here to help HEAL from whatever it is you may be dealing with. I am willing to help you through whatever it is you are facing. I just want you to know that you are enough! You deserve to get through this! I have years of experience working with those struggling with trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, stress, motivation, adjustment, life skills, coping skills, etc. Sport Performance work is also a passion of mine. As a younger, male counselor, it's easy for me to connect with youth, adolescents and younger adults. However, I have and will work with any population.

I have recently accepted the position as clinical director for GRCS. In this capacity, I will be available as a consultant for other clinicians here, while also setting a clinical tone for the practice. On an individual basis, I see a wide variety of clients based on my experience in substance use treatment, outpatient therapy, corrections treatment, and trauma training. I have worked also with the severe and persistent mental health population. My stance is, “Tell me what you think the issue is, and we’ll find a way to address it.”

Hello, are you struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, past family hurt or trauma? Are you an adult trying to figure out what your future looks like? If you are I would love the chance to work with you to reach your fullest potential. Author Richard Rohr stated in his book Falling Upward “When you get your, ‘who am I?' question right, all or your, ‘what should I do?’ questions tend to take care of themselves” and I believe that it is incredibly important to start to answer that question and begin to move forward into a healthier life.

Hello, I am so glad you are caring for yourself or someone else by seeking growth and healing. At times, all of us find ourselves needing help or a greater sense of hope and purpose. I am honored to accompany you on a healing journey and listen to your needs. I believe you can overcome any obstacle to your goals as we tap into your skills and strengths and seek guidance from evidence-based practices. I will work with you to customize a plan to clarify and reach your goals leading to lasting change.

Currently scheduling new clients, immediate openings available. I look forward to working together to identify and address your concerns in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental manner. Whether you are seeking short-term or long-term therapy, I will collaborate with you to process your feelings, find solutions, or identify helpful coping skills. I have experience providing a wide range of psychological services for adults in outpatient therapy and medical rehabilitation settings. Areas I specialize in include anxiety, depression, sleep, grief, trauma, and coping with major life transitions (e.g. adjustment to disability).

My experience includes, but is not limited to, working with people with depression, anxiety, bipolar, post-traumatic stress, OCD and adjustment challenges. I also have worked with victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other crimes. If you are facing any of these things, or if you are making an adjustment to any life changes, I would be honored to help you on your path.

I have worked extensively with individuals across the life span with depression and anxiety using cognitive behavioral therapy, breath work and mindfulness. I see depression and anxiety as disorders of rumination, getting stuck in ruminative loops of thinking they cannot escape from. I understand that most humans will need some assistance as they deal with very complex relational and environmental stressors. Most clients have a difficult time with learning how to be observers of their thoughts and emotions. We do have good evidence that treatment can provide relief by developing habits that support change and restorative growth

I'm passionate about providing support and compassionate counseling to individuals, couples, & families facing life-challenging crises, addictions, or illness with a heart of sincere concern. I assist clients in developing healthy life skills, resolving conflict, and accessing needed resources as they seek to fulfill their personal, family, and vocational goals. I'm experienced in a breadth of crises and family needs through years of church-based pastoral care and clinical counseling. I provide Individual, Couples, and Family Counseling, and Group Therapy. I can help address Men's Issues, Grief Support, and Conflict Mediation needs.

Admitting you might need a little help getting a handle on your life or the fallout from your past is difficult. Each person interprets the world based on life experiences that are uniquely their own. These interpretations can blind us from opportunities, alternatives, or pitfalls that may be right in front of us. My goal is to assist clients in building a personal roadmap to navigate life and guide decision-making to gain an acceptable level of control in their life.
