Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI

Hello! I’m Leah. Oftentimes kids and teen’s feelings are invalidated or told that what they are experiencing is “not a big deal.” That can be very frustrating, especially as a teen! My goal as a clinical social worker is to help people, no matter their age, work through their trauma, anxieties, and life struggles. I understand how trauma and life experiences can shape a child or teen’s life which is why I am so passionate about helping youth through these vulnerable years.

Drew Bengel is a Social Worker with years of experience providing skilled, compassionate care to clients of all backgrounds. He typically works with anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, trauma, and substance use concerns, but also has experience with more complex diagnoses such as personality disorders and bipolar disorders.

At Zair Counseling Center, we understand daily stress and life adjustment can cause inner conflict, as well as disrupt your daily living. Individual therapy allows clients a safe environment to process and explore behaviors, feelings and beliefs. A strong therapeutic relationship can facilitate growth, increase insight, coping skills and overall well-being. Our goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and develop overall wellness by creating individually tailored goals, using an eclectic approach including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing.

Hi. Welcome. One of the bravest and commendable things one can do is to ask for help. I specialize in the treatment of ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Behavior Challenges, Depression, Family/Parent Concerns, Giftedness, Grief and Loss, and Social Skills Training, with adolescents, adults, children, families, and young adults, ages 5 and up, using cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused treatment approaches. I have 24 years of clinical experience in outpatient behavioral health, private practice, and school settings.

As a clinical psychologist, I use evidence-based practices to empower and assist patients to reach their personalized goals. I work with individuals of all ages who are facing challenges to their well-being due to stress, depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, adjustment issues and life transitions. I provide concrete tools to improve coping skills, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. I have specialized training and extensive experience with children and adolescents, having worked as a psychotherapist and researcher at Children’s Hospital of Michigan for more than 10 years.

It can be challenging to address your mental health concerns alone. As your counselor, I woud be honored to work together with you, or your child/teen, in a collaborative effort to discover new ways to cope with stressors and improve the quality of life. I utilize creative strength and interest based interventions to ensure an affirming and welcoming environment for clients from ages 4 and up- both neurodiverse and neurotypical. My counseling style is non-judgemental and is flexible to better respond to individual client needs. I also offer Supervision for Michigan LLC clinicians who are seeking full licensure.

Having difficulty motivating oneself, is it tough for you to get up in the morning because of the overwhelming thoughts and feelings that constantly weight you down, do you feel depressed or anxious, are you abusing alcohol, prescribed drugs and or illegal drugs as a means of coping or dealing with life. Maybe you are abusing other things like food, sex and or gambling as a means of coping and you just don't know how to stop.

Are you seeing that things could be much better and are not quite sure which path to take? Finding a helping hand is the first step towards positive change that can provide that glimmer of light, that sense of relief in knowing that wholeness and strength is on the horizon. The challenges that life brings to us can also provide a doorway to change. I can help you to transition through that change and find that your personal goals can be met. You CAN feel better.

My focus is guiding clients to a fulfilling life. At A Better Future, we improve mental well-being. Addressing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem struggles in relationships is daunting. We promote personal growth by confronting emotions like anger, shame, guilt, and insecurity. Embracing this chance to alleviate psychological distress is crucial for transformative change. Effective coping and addressing challenges cultivate resilience, fostering healthier relationships and self-worth. I aim to provide insight into masculine perspectives, sparking positive transformation.

The key to a better future is you. Accept yourself. Love yourself..You are good enough. Open yourself up to the possibilities starting now. Whether you have lost yourself, are uncertain about the future, unsettled due to life challenges, depressed, anxious, having relationship/parenting troubles, needing to set boundaries, or just simply feeling stuck and do not know what to do, you have taken the first step towards improving your life.

I specialize in helping teens and adults with addiction, depression, and anxiety. What differentiates me from other therapists is that I draw from my unique personal experience in addiction. I intimately understand the challenges and complexities of addiction firsthand. In addition, I bring a compassionate and empathetic approach to therapy, helping individuals navigate the path to recovery with unwavering support. My personal experience enables me to connect deeply with clients, fostering a non-judgmental environment where they feel safe and understood.

Being a parent, whether you are at the stage of trying to conceive or amid parenting chaos, can be both overwhelming and joyful. We face so much pressure as parents today and it can be really challenging to navigate. It can lead to feelings of worthlessness, sadness, increased fatigue, low motivation, overthinking, and difficulty sleeping. These challenges can also negatively impact partnerships, making two partners feel isolated and alone while in a relationship.

My focus is with elementary age children and senior citizens to discover alternative ways to cope with life’s struggles to meet their therapy goals in a self-loving and uplifting manner. Sometimes I use a little humor when appropriate and explore what brings them joy to increase their resilience to adapt to difficult life challenges. My style is warm and creative to meet their personality to address issues. I offer play therapy for kids using CBT, games, mindfulness, art, music and more for learning about their feelings and coping better with divorce, ADHD, illness, bullying , anxiety and /or depression.

You will have an opportunity to experience what it means to love yourself and to increase the love you can share with others. Along the way, you will be able to accomplish your personal goals and develop greater wellness.

Are you struggling to meet your full potential? Does fear seem to get in the way of your true desires? Do your self-perceptions affect other aspects of your life such as your relationships and/or career? The journey of therapy is one of self-reflection and exploration, self-awareness, and growth. I was trained with the Humanistic belief that many factors of one's life play a role in our development and fuel our thought and behavior patterns later in life. Together, we can develop a treatment plan that works best for you and encompasses your current needs and goals.
