Anger Management Therapists in Portage, MI

As a Registered Play Therapist, I specialize in children ages 4-12 years. I engage them with both therapeutic play, creative arts interventions and therapeutic games. When children and young adolescents come to therapy they need to feel safe and enjoy the experience while learning skills to improve how they feel. When families come to therapy, they look for guidance from an experienced therapist who will join with their family and help them navigate through their family issues. Depression, anxiety, trauma, anger , divorce, adoption and life adjustments are all issues that lead many children and families to seek specialized treatment.

What situation qualifies for counseling? My answer to that is being human. Many believe that counseling is only necessary for major life events. The truth is you do not have to be on the high end of the stress spectrum to seek professional support. Life can be hard. Counseling provides a supportive and nonjudgmental space to process all circumstances.

First and foremost, kudos to you for prioritizing your self-care and wellness. My name is Elisabeth Bock and my practice is Rise Counseling Group & Holistic Wellness. My business partner and I opened Rise to create a safe and comfortable space for those seeking a holistic approach to addressing human experiences like anxiety and depression, relationship problems, life transitions, career/home/school stress, pressures of parenting, and grief. But Rise was also created with the intention to offer services to those who would like to focus on self-care, personal growth, and finding meaning and purpose. All are welcome here.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.
