Therapists in Livonia, MI

Welcome! My name is Selwyn Swanston and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 35 years of experience working in therapeutic settings. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I offer a warm, relaxing, caring, and non-judgmental approach to counseling. This approach fosters trust and motivates my clients to strive to achieve the goals they have in mind for themselves.

With 12 years of experience working with clients going through individual, relationship, and family issues, Celebrity Therapist Dr. Jeff Rocker has provided therapeutic services to clients nationwide. He is Licensed in 14 states and has served clients from all age groups. Over the years, Dr. Jeff has organized lectures and various events in the community, including excursions and retreats for couples to improve their communication and better understand each other. He has experience working with athletes in the NFL, NBA, and MLB. In addition, Dr. Jeff has also worked with clients in the Movie, Music, and Entertainment Industries.

It takes courage to seek out a therapist, so I use a holistic and personal approach in my sessions that helps create a safe, healthy environment for you to express yourself. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental and private space for clients to explore and gain insight into the issues affecting their life, ideally creating peace and self-acceptance. My counseling is designed to help you cope and function better in your everyday life, relationships, academics, career and family life.

Making the decision to begin therapy requires courage. It can also be the first, of many, gifts to yourself resulting in personal growth and change. If you are waking with anxiety, dealing with feelings of emptiness, having difficulty in a relationship or struggling with alcohol, substance abuse or other addictions, therapy can offer the chance to incorporate useful, healthy and appropriate skills to start the journey towards your true, authentic self.

Welcome! I’m Matt, and I believe that therapy is about making a human connection and working together to overcome your unique challenges. My approach to therapy is conversational and focused on building a trusting relationship. We all have different experiences and beliefs, and I work to ensure that our therapeutic space is welcoming, safe, and judgment-free. It can be a struggle to find someone that understands the unique challenges of military service, and as a U.S. Army veteran myself I take special pride in being able to work with fellow veterans and their families.

Life is hard, and we all experience it differently. We have gone through a lot over the past few years, and moving forward is not always simple. In addition, finding the right therapist to help you navigate through challenges can be extremely difficult. I believe every relationship is different, and I make it a priority to have a healthy therapeutic connection with every single one of my clients.

The most important factor in facilitating change is the client-therapist relationship. My role is to provide an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard without judgement. Each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth. B.S., Exercise Physiology, Eastern Michigan.

I provide individual, couples, and family psychotherapy using a Humanistic and Client-centered approach, with an emphasis on short-term, solution focused treatment. I have an extensive background in the holistic health field and in the field of psychology, and find that many issues including stress, depression, anxiety, focusing-issues, relationship problems, and chronic pain/illness can be effectively worked through by creating a strong rapport and finding balance and harmony within oneself and one's environment.

Thank you for visiting my profile! Making the move to seek help is one of the most important things a person can do for themselves.

As a clinician, I work to create a collaborative and safe environment where you can work towards change and wellness.

Life too often hits us with unexpected or prolonged stress, conflict, loss or other challenge that seem beyond our own ability to manage. These can be internal struggles with depression, anxiety, loneliness, or identity. Or they can be interpersonal challenges in your marriage, family, or workplace. At Streamside, my approach is client-centered and focused on creating a safe and encouraging environment for clients to share their journeys, discover new insights and skills, develop greater self-awareness, and be supported in their own growth and healing process.

Please Stop Talking! Have you thought this about your past therapist? Have you wondered how they could try and help you when they did not stop long enough to get to know you? As a Clinical Psychologist in practice for 30 years, I have heard this complaint more than any other among my patients whom have previously been in psychotherapy. In my clinical practice I respect the patient as the expert on themselves and will work with you to bring out the insight, esteem, knowledge and coping strategies you had inside or were open to learning about.

Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

Are you looking for more than just a “quick fix” for the stress, anxiety, depression, or other challenge you’re facing? You want to feel better, sure, but even more than that, you’d like to to understand the meaning behind what you’re going through. There may be experiences from your past you’ve never really talked about, but you have a sense they’re impacting your life today. Maybe you’ve been to therapy in the past but are now looking for more insight, depth, or intellectual stimulation than before. You want help exploring the story of your life and how all of the social, emotional, and relational puzzle pieces fit together.
