Therapists in Schoolcraft, MI

Hello! Take a breath and congratulate yourself on making the first step towards living your best life. I also make personal counseling a mandatory part of my wellness. My approach to counseling is client-centered, warm, and involves a collaborative style where I listen to my client and assume they are the expert in their own life.

When people are hurt by trauma or severe life stressors, often they feel trapped and out of control. It is my mission in life to bring healing to broken hearts and freedom to those who feel trapped. I help my client's including children, adults, and families, to grow healthy perceptions of themselves and repair and create strong relationships so they can feel peaceful, complete and safe.

I am someone who genuinely cares for the people I work with, not just as clients, but as fellow human beings. I provide effective counseling in a safe and confidential space free of judgment. I specialize in working with Anxiety Disorders, Couples, Trauma, Grief, Sexual Addictions, and Spiritual Growth, but have extensive experience working with adults on a wide range of concerns.

It is my belief that people need truth to be emotionally and spiritually healthy. But I believe that the truth needs to be compassionately delivered with a heart full of grace. My sincere hope is that encouragement is evident in my counsel, whether I am visiting with a troubled married couple or an 8 year-old child who has been the victim of abuse. The identified desire of the client is the target of the counseling sessions and my goal to help each individual, couple or family experience freedom.

Counseling is deeply personal and relational in nature. I strive to create a place of safety and hope for all those who would seek counseling with me. I work to maintain a trauma informed and multicultural practice; meaning that I understand and am sensitive to the effects of trauma as well as the impact that culture has on the lives of my clients. As such I endeavor to practice in a way that welcomes and embraces individuals from all different backgrounds.

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.

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.

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.

We all want to live a life full of happiness, joy, and meaning. However, life can be difficult at times, making this a challenge to do. I strongly believe you have the skills and ability to successfully traverse through these tough times. However, sometimes this is very demanding, but this is not indicative of your ability to deal with things. Over the course of my career in mental health I have had the honor of meeting many people who were able to do this. My role, collaborating with them, has been to act as a companion, sometimes a guide, and sometimes a sounding board, to assist them in making this happen.

We’re not meant to do this alone. Whether you come looking for new skills or perspective, for help making meaning or finding purpose, for help restoring a relationship, or just an ear to listen - I would love to walk with you. My desire is to provide therapy that focuses on the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - by collaborating with you in a safe and nonjudgmental way to create goals that promote health, growth, and autonomy. We may do this by exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and looking for ways to overcome old patterns. With children the process often involves play and finding safety in adult relationships.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, it is a mindset of moving forward despite the fear because something else is more important. You are reading this page because you already realized your wellbeing is more important than whatever emotions or challenges are trying to hold you back from your full potential. You taking this first step of seeking help is truly a courageous act and a sign of inner strength. As your counselor, I will help you develop a new mindset of courage and resilience to confidently face life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe place for you to reevaluate your lived experiences, emotions, and thinking.

Regret, guilt, anxiety, depression, worry, lack of motivation, conflict, and behavioral issues can all be linked to a disharmony between your values, thoughts, feelings, and actions. We will work towards recognizing areas of your life that are making "peace" unattainable. I will help you discover fulfillment and joy in your work, recreational activities, social life, and important relationships. Anxiety, depression, poor social skills, male issues, negative family dynamics, relationships problems, and marital issues can be resolved.

I understand that seeking therapy can feel daunting, especially when grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship issues. With 10 years of experience as a therapist and an additional five years as a case manager, I've guided many individuals and couples through their unique challenges. Whether you're dealing with identity issues, work-related stress, or crises of confidence, I'm here to help you navigate these complexities with empathy and understanding.

Hello! I want to thank you for taking a step towards finding a therapist that is right for you. It is my belief that everyone can benefit from exploring ways to address, refine, and improve their mental health. In the same way that a physical ailment might stop you from doing something you love, challenges to your mental health can do the same. I have a passion for walking alongside individuals & couples seeking explorative life change, whether it is addressing an old concern, exploring current issues, or simply setting yourself up for success moving forward. It is my goal to empower clients in seeking healing and resilience.

In a relationship with a partner that leaves you exasperated or in despair? Feeling that parts of yourself won't let you move on and experience the life you want? I specialize in attachment---the way we connect with those most important to us. I will meet you where you are. I'll work hard to understand what you are experiencing and help you find what you are looking for in your connection to those most 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.

The hardest step in change is asking someone for help. Therapy is a collaborative, coaching, and self-building journey where we work together to accomplish your desired goals. I enjoy working with men and women on depression, grief and loss, anxiety, men's issues, self-esteem, relationship challenges, obesity and weight loss, chronic pain, and long-term disabilities such as visual impairment.

Hello my name is Jamor James Sr. I have been working in mental health and Recovery for more than 13 years holding the titles of Peer Support, Recovery Coach, Team Lead, Case Manager and Therapist.

If you are considering therapy, I commend you for making the decision to improve your life. I meet my clients where they are, work together to set goals, and then we meet those goals. I use my wide range of knowledge and experiences to best serve my clients and their individual needs. I believe that everyone is learning and hope that if you choose to pursue therapy you will come out with a better understanding of yourself and your relation with the rest of the world.
