Therapists in White Lake, MI

All of us have issues or experiences that can be difficult to manage at times. I work with you to help you find solutions that improve your quality of life. If you have suffered trauma, this means finding some understanding of the trauma and resolving lingering effects. Parents get help in parent management techniques and learn behavior management. For those with addictions, this means working to understand the cause of the addiction. For the elderly, this means completing a life review and understanding the current situation.

I truly believe that the client-therapist relationship is one of the most important parts of fulfilling and successful therapy. I make it my goal as a therapist to create an inviting, relaxed atmosphere where there is no intimidation or fear in getting the support you need. I am here to help you work towards healing past trauma and the effects it may have had on your life. I hope through our therapy sessions we can together improve any stressed relationships, poor sleep, worry and sadness you may be experiencing through individualized treatment planning.

Mental health related challenges do not define who you are. It is our bodies way of saying that you need something more/better/less. Wanting to learn coping skills to overcome anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self esteem, ADHD symptoms or need a safe place to process through your internal struggles? Making accomplishable goals and working on yourself for yourself is empowering and therapy is a great place to start!

Hello! In my clinical practice, I provide a nurturing, non-judgmental environment in which the client feels comfortable and safe to work through personal issues and/or relationship challenges. Therapy is a collaborative journey in which both the client and the therapist work together to uncover past core issues and present triggers that are sustaining emotional distress. Together, we will work to increase self awareness and emotional understanding so that you (the client) feel empowered to identify and to make positive, healthy and effective changes that promote emotional health, happiness, and personal growth.

Are you constantly worrying what others think of you? Walking around on eggshells to make a good first impression? Do you find that your child's anxiety keeps them from being the loving person you know they are? I work with people of all ages who are trying to get the most out of their relationships and are finding that anxiety keeps getting in the way of feeling confident with others or at school. Having healthy relationships is the cornerstone of a balanced life. You know that there is no better time to resolve these issues of insecurity than now. I can help.

I am a fully licensed psychologist in the State of Michigan. Working with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and students, I specialize in employing concepts of cognitive and behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help individuals manage a variety of mental and emotional issues, including Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, ADHD, Anger, and Behavioral Disorders. Through our work together, my patients learn to be more aware of their thoughts, identify their negative automatic thoughts, and reframe their thoughts such that they are more realistic and positive. Over time, this change in thinking has significant implications for the daily feelings that one experiences.

***Currently--Not Able to Accept New Clients*** Finding the right counselor/therapist is a challenge. Making a decision to call when there are so many choices can be overwhelming. It is an important decision because the relationship you have with your counselor is one of the most important factors in achieving a positive outcome in therapy. The right counselor will be someone you feel you can trust. The right counselor will help you identify the roadblocks that keep you from moving forward. The right counselor will be with you as you take those steps forward from where you are, to where you want to be.

At The Well Counseling we focus on providing a safe, caring, and a nonjudgmental environment, supporting you as you begin to address and cope with the challenges in your life. Drawing from your strengths, we will work together to develop new strategies, skills and perspectives in order that you may live a full and joyful life. We utilize creative therapies in order to compliment and deepen the healing process. I currently holds a certificate from the Andrew Kukes Foundation for the treatment of Social Anxiety as well as a certified EMDR Therapist. Now offering Group Therapy as well!

Generally, each person and I begin by exploring the issues that has brought them to seek out my services. This exploration entails a joint effort that unfolds over time. A relationship is formed that helps us both to see more clearly how the individual is operating in their everyday life. It is through such an exploration that the individual begins to understand themselves, and, especially, their more intimate relating. I also believe that the person leads the treatment such that we will only go as far as each person desires. I can offer ideas, but, in the end, it is the individual who leads us.

I have over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and I have learned over the years, that my clients are often my greatest teachers. I believe in meeting people where they are and working with my clients to create a treatment plan that is suited to their unique needs. In addition to individual therapy, I also provide psychological testing/evaluation services. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. My ultimate goal is to offer compassionate, experienced treatment that provides my clients with practical strategies and tools they can easily use to promote healing in their own life.

I have over 30 years experience working with children, adults, couples and families on a wide variety of life problems.It is important to find a therapist that is a good fit, someone with whom you feel comfortable and who takes your concerns seriously. My approach is supportive, confidential and empathetic in helping individuals and families recognize their own needs and strengths.

Through our relationship you can start to become aware of the things that interfere with feeling better and use your strengths to make changes and move forward.

Look... I can't compete with all of the psycho-babble that my colleagues are using to get your business. Truthfully, when I try to use those words, I feel like someone out of a cheesy Lifetime movie. So, this is what I can offer you: I will listen to you, I will never judge you, I will laugh with you, I will cry with you, and most importantly, I will use every therapeutic tool at my disposal to help you get through the hard stuff... Because, in the end, it's not about me... it's all about you!

I have been a therapist since 2003 and if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that everyone needs someone to talk to. We all have feelings, whether we feel happy, excited, anxious, worried, nervous, sad or depressed—we need to get those feelings off our chest. Another thing I’ve learned over the years is keeping those feelings bottled up inside can and will make us sick. Why is something as simple as getting things off our chest so difficult to do? I believe it’s because of our pride and fear of judgment about our feelings. As a therapist, I truly strive to allow people to speak freely in a safe environment.
