Depression Therapists in Birmingham, MI

Our lives are a system made up of family, friends, biases, and life experiences. If one part of the system has fractured, the entire system functions incorrectly. As someone who didn't believe therapy could help me, I struggled with a spiral of bad decisions before seeking therapy as a last-ditch effort to "fix" myself. I'm thankful that I found therapy when I did - it saved my life, prevented years of heartache, and gave me purpose and direction. I want to work with you to create the best possible life for yourself. You deserve a life filled with healthy people, boundaries, and genuine joy. Let's find it together.
