In Person Therapists in Ada, MI

Trying to save a relationship before it's too late? Is your teenager struggling with depression, anxiety, or making healthy decisions? Want a counselor who helps you decide what to do next instead of telling you what you're doing wrong? Maybe you're just tired of your current situation but not quite sure what to do to change it? I don't dwell on your past so I can explain how your parents screwed you up. I help you develop a clear idea of what changes you want and how to make those changes happen. Think coaching, not counseling.
