Eclectic Therapists in Saline, MI

Have you found yourself struggling to engage with day-to-day life in the way you would like to? Do you tend to avoid situations that stir up fear or anxiety? Do you often feel tense and on edge? These can be common experiences for people who struggle with anxiety and/or trauma. Unfortunately, these struggles can often lead us to live a more limited life than we would like and can cause us to feel stressed and isolated.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR LIFE IS SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL? Have you encountered a recent divorce, job loss, chronic health issues that have thrown you out of balance? Are you struggling with issues such as overeating, alcohol or drug use, panic attacks, depression,or anxiety? I can help you get unstuck and feel in control again. In the context of a solid therapeutic relationship, you can learn to tolerate and regulate strong emotions, increase self-compassion, relieve shame and fear, enhance self-confidence, become personally empowered and let go of your old trauma.

My client has the answers they need inside of them, they just need some perspective. Most of my clients have experienced trauma in their lives in some form, and struggled with finding themselves or finding meaning in their life experience afterward. I enjoy navigating and exploring the full-range of human experience including issues pertaining to identity and sexuality, unearthing fears and anxieties, boundary setting, and building expression in all areas of life.

Are you watching your teen struggle with self-esteem through all the pressures kids today face? Has your adolescent been through a traumatic event and you want them to have a safe space to be heard without judgment? Today is very different in the world of social media, social unrest, and social anxiety. I am here to listen, provide empathy, and meet the client where they are at therapeutically. I provide an eclectic approach which allows individualistic treatment to each client. Boundary setting, confidence, healthy relationships, and life transitions are just some of themes worked on in sessions with clients and their families.

Gaining control over body weight brings on new possibilities, yet can also bring on a new set of unexpected realities. People who knew us as overweight may distance themselves or show signs of disapproval. We may not believe in our ability to have a fulfilling career, be a good parent or romantic partner. We progress toward our goals and feel good at first, yet we may return to former habits, and run up against a set of obsolete internal beliefs about what we capable of doing. This limits us. We want to live fully, yet these thoughts keep us from achieving our goals.

As of 9/5/23 my practice is OPEN for new clients who are available M-F, 9am-3pm, for telehealth appointments only. Sometimes life throws us unexpected curve balls that are difficult to manage. Other times, we may find ourselves struggling to manage day to day life even without any major life changes. Therapy can be an important tool for helping us manage both unexpected events as well as the stresses of daily life.

An important aspect of any therapeutic relationship is the rapport and ease you have in discussing your issues and concerns with your therapist. I believe the right fit between the client and therapist is in large part a function of the flexibility in approach and ways of intervening with you as an individual client. I see the therapeutic relationship as being a collaborative partnership that is outcome focused in addressing your issues and concerns. The emphasis is on doing what is most effective in moving you toward your desired outcomes in the least amount of time possible.

I am a licensed psychologist and the clinical director of Sollars and Associates Integrative Counseling and Psychological Services. I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy for over 30 years in the Metro Detroit area and our group practice spans across the state of Michigan. With support, encouragement and expert insight many people begin to feel better after their first session.

I now offer services as a Mind-Body & Energy Medicine Coach. I am no longer practicing psychology as a Limited Licensed Psychologist. As a Mind-Body Coach, I can offer a more holistic approach to healing. By integrating my degrees in psychology, education, mind-body medicine, and certifications in Health Coaching, Biofield Tuning, Vibrational therapies and Energy healing, I can impact healing across the human spectrum, mind, body and spirit. I help you solve the problem of not being aligned with you and your inner guidance system.

Are you feeling sad, depressed, worried, fighting, arguing, anxious, feeling stuck, unhappy, having communication issues, inattention, concentration problems, social skills problems, low self confidence, relationship problems, or need crisis intervention? Have you experienced trauma? Do you want to enhance peek performance in sports or everyday life with the development of mental skills (concentration, imagery, self talk, etc.)? I worked with a diversity of problems including parenting skills, child behavior disorders, autism, marital discord, job finding skills, fears and nervous habits, stress, depression, assertiveness training, panic disorder, phobias, social skills deficit, emotional and behavioral problems. I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy.

I offer psychotherapy for adult individuals, college students, couples, parents, and adolescents. At the heart of my work is a belief that transformation is possible in an atmosphere of warmth, collaboration, and attunement. Clients in my practice deal with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, attentional problems, adjusting to stressors and life transitions, relationship struggles, and parenting difficulties. Others may not be experiencing significant symptoms, yet feel stuck in certain aspects of their life, career, or relationship.

I believe in working with my clients in a collaborative way to identify intervention areas and to develop the therapeutic roadmap. I specialize in helping you navigate life transitions such as puberty, graduations (high school, college, trade school), diagnoses and changes within relationships (marriage, children, divorce, sexuality and loss of partner). I also work with people struggling with depression and anxiety (including sport and academic performance anxiety and perfectionism). I treat adolescents (11+), college students, young adults, adults and couples.

Psychotherapy can help. At its heart, psychotherapy is about listening. And you, feeling truly heard in a new, and refreshing way. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and interest to help my clients hear their own voice. Reflected, this offers possibilities for greater self understanding, change, and new direction. The therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for the positive changes that you as a client seek.

Seeking therapy is a big part of effective self-care. If you are curious about yourself, want to improve your relationships with others, and seek to find the most satisfaction life has to offer, therapy will provide a path forward. If you are in pain, therapy will provide relief. If you want to break free from past unproductive patterns, therapy will give you the tools and courage to forge a new way. I specialize in individual adult and couples therapy, anxiety/depression, life issues and adjusting to loss; and helping clients through divorce. I’m active, warm, respectful, and caring. I’d be happy to work with you!

I have two decades of experience treating individuals (adults, adolescents), couples and families. I have had extensive training in treating mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety, peri-natal and post-partum depression, anxiety; grief, trauma, life adjustment and relationship difficulties. I am comfortable collaborating with your physician if you are on or need medication.

I am currently full, however I share my practice with many talented colleagues who practice similarly to me. These folks currently have openings: Kelsey Strate, MA, Jamison Brewer, MA, Rachel Buzenberg, MA and Jeremy Tacon, MA. You can check out their profiles on our website: www.arborwellnesscenter.com. I provide counseling to adolescents and adults to facilitate growth and change and help people move beyond destructive patterns to experience life to their fullest capacity. I have worked in the field of crisis intervention, counseling and therapy for over 25 years, in a wide variety of settings.

I have been working in the field for over 30 years I find that most people who come to therapy, want to find solutions to problems and move forward. I help people work that process by giving support and develop strategies.

My main focus is on the importance of emotional wellbeing. I believe that everyone experiences difficulties in their lives and see the counseling office as a space for clients to express and normalize difficult feelings in a safe environment. I believe that people have all of the components for a happy and healthy life but sometimes need help processing and navigating through their feelings and experiences to learn new and more effective ways to cope. I operate through the Polyvagal Theory lens to assess emotional regulation and work to stabilize and co-regulate clients as this is essential to healing.

I can be helpful to individuals who are wanting to understand themselves better and are invested in their personal growth. Sometimes people are aware of issues that keep showing up, but have been unable to work through them alone. Sometimes a crisis occurs that acts as a catalyst for seeking professional guidance. Often symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia interfere with enjoyment. Frequently relationships are not working well and support in resolving conflicts and communication skills can be crucial. I have over 30 years experience in helping individuals and couples grow and increase their happiness and well being.
