Teletherapy for 48130

Feeling like your motherhood experience is way more hot mess than hashtag blessed? Wrestling with guilt because you’re too overwhelmed to “enjoy every moment” (which is garbage advice, by the way)? Up late at night wondering if your parenting is setting up a steady income stream for your kid’s future therapist? If you’re looking for a break from the worry, longing to enjoy being a mom more, and wanting to feel confident and relaxed: you’re in the right place, friend. I'm Amanda, and I specialize in helping moms who are struggling with anxiety stop being at the mercy of their thoughts.

Unfortunately...Life is not fair. We may get knocked down by things out of our control, but it’s always our responsibility to get back up. Choosing therapy is a brave step in putting your pieces back together, a step towards freedom, happiness, and being the best you. My name is Sheri Leighton and I am a Licensed Master Clinical Social Worker (LMSW). I graduated from The University of Michigan School of Social Work Program in 2005.

I am a psychologist working with everyday people with everyday struggles. My philosophy is guided by my unwavering belief in people's ability to achieve their greatest potential & become their true authentic self. I coach people who are feeling down, overwhelmed, anxious, conflicted, coping with change and transitions, making decisions, or struggling with marital or relationship challenges. While many people can manage their problems on their own, the therapeutic process often enables them to reach their goals and decrease symptoms and stress more quickly.

Are you ready to dive in but totally scared? I get it, so let's do it together. I wont judge you on your past and certainly don't care if you show up to session in sweats and a messy bun. I will allow your voice to be heard in a safe environment where you can you to let go of anxiety and build your confidence to live the life you truly want. It will be a healing journey full of growth and overall improved well being. We can focus on practical solutions or go deeper and help you discover an inner peace by letting go of what is no longer serving you. Whatever it is, we will do it together.

Congratulations! You've taken the first step toward feeling better by reaching out for support. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 26 years of experience. I have successfully helped clients with such issues as stress and anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, & depression. My style of therapy is very upfront, as I have found that being direct with clients (and them being direct as well) has been the most effective way to progress through challenges. At the same time, I work hard to treat everyone with respect and compassion. I also love to laugh, and utilize humor as part of my therapy regularly.

I see the many dimensions of life, including self identity, connections to others, history, humor, and so on, as central to the process of real healing. Bringing the invaluable benefit of a lifelong career as a psychotherapist to the healing experience, my contribution to the process of therapy simply cannot be summarized in a few words. I offer an approach that evolves to best meet the needs of each individual or couple.

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am an intern in my final year of study. I will graduate in May with my MSW from Concordia University. I am open to working with people of all ages. I have experience working with children in the school system. I use my experience working within the school system to address individual therapeutic needs comprehensively. I am committed to providing compassionate support and guidance to those seeking to improve their mental and emotional well-being.

There is a reason you have decided to seek therapy for yourself or a loved one. The world is becoming an increasingly challenging place for those of any age to navigate. Whatever the reason that brings you to treatment, I am prepared to support you in identifying and treating the root cause(s) of problems that you are facing. While you are the expert in your own life, I will use only evidence-based approaches in assisting your exploration in what underlies the challenges you face. Also, for most younger kids and families, I develop individualized treatment manuals, so that parents can be directly involved in the treatment process.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. Each individual brings new and different elements to culturally reoccuring problems. Our work together usually enriches us both. As a CBT therapist, I believe the value of changing thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. These strategies are especially effective for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and interpersonal interactions. I am also an advocate for personal choice and self care. So while changing thoughts and attitudes is helpful, the client decides which thoughts and attitudes they want to change. Finally, I supplement CBT with practical strategies for relationships, healthy lifestyles, relaxation, problem solving and general coping.

You are not alone. You are not broken or defective. Help is available, and the first step is admitting to yourself that you need it. My ideal client is someone who is 25+, self-identifies with one or more marginalized groups, and wants to change their life/world by starting with themself. Common concerns I work with are: LGBTQIA+, low self-esteem/self-worth, post-traumatic stress, institutional/systemic abuse/barriers, loneliness, depression, anger, dysfunctional family of origin, adjustment difficulties, childhood abuse/neglect, identity development/exploration, anxiety, hypervigilance, and difficulties connecting with others.

Madison Rowland is a Limited License Psychologist working under the supervision of Dr. Martin Fletcher at Renew Hope Counseling. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology & Communication at Central Michigan University and her Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at the Michigan School of Psychology.

My ideal client is a woman who is feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious/depressed. She is really good at taking care of her loved ones but sometimes struggles with how to really take care of herself. She knows that she deserves to feel joy and peace but isn’t sure how to achieve it. My therapeutic approach is action based, present/future focused, typically short term (3-6 months), and goal centered. I’ve been practicing as a therapist for about 15 years and specialize in working with women who are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and stressed. My clients tend to be high achieving, dependable women who others often rely on.

Vast and meaningful service as a Registered Nurse with passion for mental health finds me uniquely qualified as a professional counselor to many, particularly members of the healthcare community. I acknowledge and respect the bravery in pursuing the counseling process, and my clients may expect me to offer an authentic and nonjudgmental presence while not shying away from challenging them in the name of exploration and growth. I believe that my clients know themselves best and that an environment in which they feel free and safe to share is essential.

Do you call yourself a people-pleaser or perfectionist? Do you feel like you're never enough? Have you been feeling depressed or do you endure your day with extreme stress, loneliness, and constantly fighting off negative thoughts? You might be dealing with social anxiety, trauma, or depression. You might want relief, yet you may feel tempted to "tough it out." I understand that thought, but your life is worth addressing right now and I'd like to help you do so. You deserve to feel relief, and you deserve a therapist who can help you get there. Whatever you may bring to therapy, if it's important to you, it's important to me.

I believe all people have profound inherent worth, and that self-acceptance and compassion are core components of living well. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional difficulties can cloud our ability to see ourselves as whole, beautiful, functioning people, and I work warmly, respectfully, and joyfully to help my clients get movement in areas where they may feel stuck. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, phobias, grief, and issues related to couples and relationships.
