Substance Use Therapists in Michigan

I work to help people navigate their complex worlds in order to live a healthier, happier life. I believe that all components of one's life are interrelated. Stress, crisis, life changes and uncertainty happen to everyone, often without warning. When crisis or chaos strike, it is comforting to have someone listen in a safe, open, non-judgmental space in which you can uncover the inner strengths and skills you already possess. I work with clients to create this environment, through which genuine healing, change, and self-empowerment can occur.

Trauma, Substance Use, Depression, Anxiety and Codependency - I have been working with clients in these areas for the past 25 years. My name is Teri Baker and I am trained in EMDR and Prolonged Exposure Therapy for survivors of PTSD. I have a lot of experience working with those who suffer from substance use and their families who suffer along side them. I can help you with depression and anxiety disorders as well. There is no reason anyone should suffer and not live their best life. Our world has so many challenges, the last thing we need is to have our past disable our present and future.

I understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I incorporate a blend of many different approaches to ensure that you are receiving the best possible care for you.

Deciding on therapy is a step toward self-improvement. Deciding on a therapist is the next step in that pursuit. It is important to find a therapist that will provide an environment that allows you to share, collaborate, and ultimately, grow. I believe that therapy can help provide an additional perspective, which can bolster self-awareness and foster individual growth. My goal is for clients to feel safe and comfortable to explore areas of their lives they wish to better understand or improve.

I have worked with clients in the Human Service field for the past thirty five years treating substance use disorders, mental health, trauma and HIV/AIDS. I am a caring, dedicated and empathic therapist, meeting the person served where they are at. It is my belief that when you know better you attempt to do better. My job involves providing psycho-education based upon best field practices. My experience includes working with youth, adults and families.

I believe everybody has strengths and talents as well as a place to fit in among this world as well as a purpose. However, at times we all need help to find our strength as life challenges get in the way and we get stuck. “What is some wisdom you have gained through your experiences?” is a question I will ask you when you choose to work with me. We will explore this question together, building on your experiences, and you will learn to identify ways to use this wisdom and strength in the future.

As a counselor, I strive to help clients with emotions that have become problematic in their daily life.

I have the tools to assist clients to build up a stronger foundation in order to achieve greater happiness.

Everyone needs someone, sometimes. Sometimes, we need a reminder of what a life worth living can look like. I have a passion for guiding individuals to meet their own personal goals to live a happier, more fulfilled life. I have worked with individuals with mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. I have also worked with individuals with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. As a mother, sister, daughter and therapist I understand how important it is to feel safe, comfortable and heard.

New location June 1, 2023! We all experience that moment in life where we simply just need someone to talk to! Sometimes our families, friends and loved ones just don't cut it and we need to find someone outside of our circle to dump the heavy baggage we carry around on. Finding that person is difficult. We need to find someone who we can actually connect with to work on our personal growth and our individual healing process. My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to build rapport with my patients. When you are comfortable with your therapist, that is when the magic begins and transformation happens!

Welcome. I have been at this almost forty years. Enjoy it now more then ever. Over the years I believe I have developed some skill working with Adolescent and families, and those experiencing problems with Substance Use and Abuse. I Started working with Adolescents and Families in residential treatment, schools and hospitals. Two years in a Methadone Clinic provided an early glimpse into Opiate addiction. A mid-life descent into Alcoholism provided a very personal understanding of addiction and recovery. I know that recovery can occur both within and outside the AA model.
