Liberty Mental Health offers quality mental health counseling. Our therapists here have experience with a wide variety of concerns and challenges you may be facing in your life. We believe that counseling is an amazing resource and support to help achieve mental freedom and an improved life.

No one knows your life better than you. But when stress, anxiety and fear overwhelm the brain and body, we can become blocked from our own best solutions. When this happens, it can negatively impact our lives and relationships and compromise our ability to cope effectively. Taking the first step toward positive change often means trusting a professional to help guide you toward solutions that resonate with your personal strengths, goals and abilities. I use humor, compassion and comprehensive clinical understanding to bring focus to how our experiences have shaped us - and what we can do to adapt, change, and thrive.

I specialize in couple and family therapy. I help people improve communication and underlying beliefs that contribute to relationship problems. Often, most relationship issues or family problems are based on unmet emotional needs or underlying issues that have yet to be addressed in a constructive way. Most people need a neutral party to help clarify their needs and expectations. I also help individuals, from a variety of backgrounds overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, poor self-esteem and work stress.

Skill, experience and kindness are qualities many seek in a therapist. When you are suffering with personal problems, you want to know that you will be heard and understood in ways that will help you find ways to expand your own self-understanding. A good therapist - the right therapist for you - is one who can "think together" with you to help find new solutions to old problems. The Mel Bornstein Clinic for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy was established upon a 60-year tradition of offering just this kind of help.

I am purposed to love and to serve. Helping to healing are my calling. I did not always understand what my plan was in life, but I knew that what I nurtured by nature was a gift that I could not allow to be in vein. Externally, I appeared well put together and as if I had it all, but in this journey called Life, I realized that internally some things were missing. In God’s image, we are created in three parts: mind, body, and spirit. When those three elements are not in intricate unity with one another an internal imbalance can exist. Currently, I am an LPC licensed in two states: Michigan and Wisconsin.

Seeking help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. Life at times can be very demanding and can cause us to feel hopeless, stressed, depressed and defeated. This is a safe place where those individuals esp. Men can come to express, explore and process all feelings and behaviors. Taking the step to becoming a better you is never easy, as change can take some time getting used to. I like to consider getting started with this journey a major accomplishment, as you have proceeded to become whole again.

As we ebb and flow through life, we connect, disconnect and reconnect over and over again. Our connections to our mind, our body, the people around us, our society and the world are in a fluid state of change. Some internal and external changes may be overwhelming and heavy like a crashing wave. Adjusting to everchanging connections can be difficult at times. As a result, we may start to disconnect and retreat as ways to cope and slowly float away.

My name is Sarah Veliz and I practice in the metro-Detroit area. My practice is 100% telehealth and I can see a client located anywhere in Michigan. I accept private pay, BCBS and Medicare. I have been practicing for 10+ years and have a strengths-based solution focused approach. I believe therapy can be beneficial for anyone and that everyone has the ability to meet their own goals. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere.

Serving the Metro Detroit area for over 20 years I have witnessed great transformation as individuals and families have become renewed, refreshed, refocused, reconciled, restored and more. If you need to talk call me so that I can walk with you for a season of life providing compassionate care and concern. Your life can be enriched by healing past issues, equipped by applying truth filled principles to current life issues, and empowered by experiencing the abundant life to fulfill your purpose and Kingdom dreams. I believe that nothing is too hard, all things are possible, and you have a choice!

Have you been feeling clouded by self-doubt? Do things feel heavier than usual? Do you have a desire to explore yourself and your life on a deeper level? Questions about your past choices bombard you throughout the mornings. Your nights are highlighted with worries about the future. Managing each day is a task that continues to be unfulfilling without the right support. After years of taking care of others, you are now in need of someone neutral who will allow you to express yourself openly and genuinely. I am passionate and dedicated to helping you experience relief and growth in ways that are personally meaningful for you.

Facing challenges is inevitable in life, but that doesn't mean those challenges have to be faced alone. As a therapist, I have a genuine interest in understanding your story in a deep & meaningful way. With time, we can work together to help you develop a stronger sense of self & agency as we learn about your patterns of emotions, thoughts & beliefs through treatment.

When you feel stuck, unsure, lost, or afraid, therapy is a great place to begin understanding yourself and working through those struggles. Using a trustworthy, non-judgmental, genuine, and understanding approach, I work hard to collaborate with my clients to help them through their healing process. Together we will create an environment of authentic healing and growth where you can express yourself, explore your past, and create the life you want to live.

I help my clients discover the root causes of their presenting concerns, versus focusing on the surface thoughts and emotions. My areas of treatment focus include anxiety, depression, poor family relations, marital issues (including spousal infidelity or questions of divorce), employment and life transitions, grief and loss, abuse (mental, emotional, verbal and sexual) and spirituality. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Systems Theory, and Biblical Principles to guide my clients in therapy. Beginning Aug. 2022, virtual appointments will be available on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

I believe the ideal therapist is a combination of nurturing and straightforward, and this is what I strive to embody in my work. In other words, I am sensitive and compassionate as I know life can be extremely painful and challenging. At the same time, I make every effort to "keep it real" with my patients. I try to point out things about themselves that may be difficult to hear, as sometimes this is the only way we can grow. I always maintain an emotionally supportive and environment, but you can also trust that I will be honest with you about what I'm thinking.

Many people go through the stages of life and forget to take the time to reflect and take care of their mental health. I believe it is very important to make your mental health a priority. Your mind is connected to your physical and spiritual well-being, if one is unhealthy this affects the others. With the daily challenges of enduring a pandemic, dealing with social, and political issues, I am here to be an advocate and partner in helping individuals better themselves and their mental health. There may be stigmas or taboos surrounding mental health in your communities, but I am here to say that YOU and your mental health matter.

My clients are busy professionals in a variety of careers who are struggling with stress, grief, and anxiety and want more peace and fulfillment in their life. They are looking for a therapist who is empathetic, culturally sensitive, and an expert at helping clients navigate stressors.
