Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Tecumseh, MI

Often, we forget about the stress and anxiety our children, teens and young adults are experiencing through traumatic daily life events. These experiences can lead individuals to feel broken and questioning their sense of purpose. Learning how to cope with these feelings and life stressors can help the individual identify their belonging in the world.

Our treatment approach is based on the concept that your mental health is equally as important as your physical health, and that attending to your mental health is essential for living a truly fulfilled life. We will help you thrive, both in your own lives and in your relationships by helping you to reconnect with yourself and others, find deeper self-understanding and compassion. We believe that therapy should feel collaborative and empowering to help you navigate difficult emotions, experiences, and life transitions by creating a safe place for you. Helping you finding your center.

My name is Marj Tursak and I have a Masters Degree in Counseling from Siena Heights University. I have been working with adults and adolescents for 28 years. My intention is to utilize whatever modality of therapy is helpful to my client, but I have a special interest in providing Ecotherapy. Another speciality is cognitive behavioral therapy, because we know that in many cases our thoughts cause our emotions, and we must address our thinking. I retired from the Harbor Light in Monroe, Michigan, where I served as a therapist and Clinical Supervisor for over 22 years. I have assisted clients with depression, addictions and anxiety.

Have you ever had one of those days that turned into weeks or months, maybe even years? Days where you wake up and would rather just pull the blanket back over your head and hide away? I'm certain that we've all had them. But, when those days outnumber the good days or when you feel like there's just no use in getting up because things won't change, that's when I can offer help.

I believe your story isn’t finished yet. I believe healing and change are possible. I believe there is hope.

I work primarily with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression and diminished self-esteem. These issues manifest in many different ways and may include an inability to make decisions, difficulty maintaining relationships, low confidence, discomfort in social settings, exhaustion, fears that may seem irrational and poor view of self. I enjoy digging into these issues because they can be debilitating and it is amazing to witness the life change that can occur through therapeutic self discovery.

There is no ideal client. There are only people who need support, validation, and tools. It is up to each individual to choose a therapist that he or she feels comfortable with and believes can provide necessary support and assistance.
