Addiction Therapists in Michigan

Thank you for visiting! Seeking the help that you need can be a challenge so congratulate yourself for taking the first step. As a behavioral health provider I am happy to partner with you to achieve your goals. I view each of my clients as unique, distinct and capable of greatness. I provide a holistic approach to care, addressing the relationship between the mind, body and spiritual condition. Let's work together to achieve the best you!

Are you struggling with addiction or anxiety? Call me TODAY and in just a few session I can help you find peace. I use a variety of Interventions including IFS, CBT and mindfulness to assist clients in uncovering the root of their issues and begin to heal. As a licensed therapist I have several years experience partnering with adults struggling with relationships, addictions and anxiety/depression. I offer a safe space for all people and am dedicated to serving the LGBTQ+ population.

I understand the very human struggles associated with managing intense emotions and thoughts without feeling consumed by them, living in the present moment without being haunted by memories of the past or worries about the future, and arriving at a place where our lives are dictated by us and our values, rather than by traumas and other stressful life experiences. At the heart of these very human struggles, there are often more paths than we realize toward resilience and self-compassion. My mission is to offer a therapy tailored to meet your unique needs, grounded in science, and guided by empirically supported best practices.

Has your life become unmanageable? Do you feel stuck in the same old patterns? Have you been court ordered to attend counseling for a drug or alcohol related arrest? I can help! Understanding how the brain works and learning better ways to manage stress, process trauma/loss and overcome self defeating behaviors are key factors in maintaining our mental health.

I see a wide variety of clients based on my experience in substance use treatment, outpatient therapy, corrections treatment, and trauma training. I have worked also with the severe and persistent mental health population. My stance is, “Tell me what you think the issue is, and we’ll find a way to address it.”

My belief is that therapy should be empowering and be tailored to each client individually. Every person is unique in their experiences and beliefs and for this reason I utilize an integrative approach to counseling. This means that we will use different techniques and ideas from different theories and therapies to best suite each client and their goals. I will work with clients to determine their goals for therapy and will support and aid clients in accomplishing these goals. I am passionate about mental health and helping people and want to help everyone find the best fit for them.

Have you or someone close to you seem to be experiencing mental health issues such as depression, low self-esteem, a substance use disorder, relational issues, and more, and want help to change?

I am a Master’s Level clinical psychologist who focuses on treating adolescents, and adults in a variety of areas. I treat people struggling with substance abuse, trauma, addictive behaviors (including pornography, sex, eating, gambling, video games, etc.), communication, sports/performance, anger, and work-related issues. I am particularly sensitive to the specific needs of first responders and veterans. I work with individuals from all walks and stages of life. In addition to providing therapy, I am an adjunct professor at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, in both the Justice and Public Policy and Psychology departments.

Dr. Husted has been working in the mental health field since 1995. She specializes in Traumatic Brain Injury, Neuropsychological Evaluations, Psychological Testing, substance abuse, PTSD and mental health disorders. She received her doctoral degree in 2008 in clinical psychology. She has hospital privileges at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland and private practice services at Oakland Psychiatric Association located in Pontiac, MI.

I believe in being fully attentive and engaged in the therapy process. I bring nearly 40 years of experience conscientiously doing my own work in the hopes of offering that wisdom to my clients. In therapy, you may find me challenging, but my focus is always on your goals. My real skill is in facilitating a greater emotional and psychological understanding that leads to change.

I provide services designed to help adolescents and adults address issues such as: anger, stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, emotional management and more. I partner with you to develop an individualized plan to achieve goals. Each plan is developed using evidenced-based practice to ensure the best possible outcome. Simply put, my goal is to help you achieve the life you want to live. I work side-by-side with you to address the issues that are preventing you from reaching your ideals. I provide meaningful tools to empower, encourage growth, and facilitate desired outcomes.

As a therapist, I believe that building a relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. From that relationship, it becomes possible to examine difficult areas of your life in order to experience growth and security within yourself. The therapeutic setting provides a unique opportunity to pause the busyness of everyday life and sort through present or past concerns that may be affecting you and your family.

If you would like help with issues regarding daily life, work, family, blended families, academics, life decisions, gender identity we can help. If you have feelings of fatigue, worry, and being overwhelmed we can assist you. We operate a group practice with several therapists in three locations. In your initial call to us we listen carefully to understand what your needs are and then match you with the best method of treatment and therapist to help you. We understand that calling for counseling is an important choice and offer excellent customer service to facilitate the process. We provide highly professional services in a peaceful setting.

*Morning Appointments Only* Telehealth Only. Effective therapy is about finding the right fit for your unique needs. Are you an adult looking for help with addiction ? trauma? depression? anxiety? relationship issues? anger? Maybe you're feeling lost or untethered and need a sounding board to find your footing again. Or maybe you know you need something but don't know where to start. I approach each and every client with compassion and without judgment. Our sessions are collaborative and I place great value on establishing a relationship built on trust and respect.

My main areas of practice include: alcohol and drug addiction , relational conflict, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma and PTSD. I work with a client centered, interpersonal approach to confidentially support and respond to the individual uniqueness of each client. I focus on creating open and direct dialogue using an element of humor to create relational safety.The level of ongoing anxiety and stress accompanying addiction as well as from everyday life tends to be relentless, overwhelming and at times, traumatizing. My goal is to assist clients in building insight and personalized skills to reduce distress and experience meaningful, corrective, emotional experiences.

My therapeutic intervention is looking at the past as necessary in making changes for the future. I'm certain that any unwanted behavior can be unlocked by recognizing the purpose or wanted outcome for said behavior and my passion is helping you identify that unmet need and make healthy changes. I enjoy working with clients that are willing to do things outside of the therapeutic office setting such as writing, art, and/or practicing skills learned, and then reporting back in session the helpfulness of each strategy.
