Infertility Therapists in Brighton, MI

Danica is a psychotherapist who has been practicing since 2019. She graduated from the University of Michigan School of Social Work. Danica believes in the philosophy that life just sucks sometimes; sometimes a client wants a therapist to help it feel less sucky and other times, they need a therapist to just hold space for them. Her main areas of focus include anxiety (generalized anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD), pregnancy (from infertility to postpartum to grieving due to miscarriage or abortion), and trauma (which not only includes PTSD, but also complex-PTSD/borderline personality disorder and identity-based trauma).

Welcome! Here at Restore & Renew Counseling, we value a holistic approach to counseling. Counseling is an investment in oneself and you are worth it!

I use an integrated and holistic approach to counseling - Faith-based counseling, Talk Therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and Gottman Method.

I am passionate about aiding others in finding hope among the confusion and chaos of everyday life. My desire for you is that we can work together to find that HOPE for you in your situation. In my 10+ years of clinical experience I have found that meeting people where they are at, having a listening ear and teaching some essential skills will help us begin and build momentum in your healing process. I'm passionate about addressing a spectrum of traumas, restoration in broken family dynamics, rebuilding marriages, coming alongside adolescents and targeting the root of the distress you are experiencing. You are capable of doing this!

"There are just some times in life when it can often help to talk." I have twenty-five years of experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples and older adolescents. Talking and working in a therapeutic relationship can be an opportunity to identify issues, thoughts and behaviors that may cause distress for someone in their life and relationships. I believe that a deepened and thoughtful understanding of the self offers the possibility of new choices and healthy choices that can enhance personal peace and contentment.

I have experience with adoption/attachment, to sexual trauma, to depression/anxiety, and/or substance abuse. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, knowledgeable about polyamorous relationships, as well as kink friendly. Clients who are ready to make a change in their lives or their way of thinking will find the most success working with me. Change is scary but if the way you've been isn't serving you then let's create a new picture of it the way you want it to be. Change might be scary but the only thing scarier is staying unhappy.

Are you wanting to overcome challenges that seem too difficult to manage on your own? These challenges could be stress, anxiety, feelings of sadness or a loss of motivation. Challenges can also look like making a career move or saying goodbye to a loved one. You may want to deal with trauma that seems too frightening to talk about. You may want to finally have feelings of peace or happiness that seem out of reach or finally have a place to share your story without feeling judged.

Have you been in survival mode for too long? Are you working so hard to reparent yourself while simultaneously parenting small people with big needs? Or are you parenting a child with big behaviors or emotions? Parenting a child who is struggling is stressful and isolating. Maybe the thought "this isn't what (or the child) I was expecting" has even run through your mind. Whether you planned for pregnancy, fostering or adopting, you likely dreamed of love, connection and joy. And now you are not sure how to get there from here. Or if it is even possible. It really is! There is always room for hope.

I believe that there is a story people tell about themselves. Sometimes, parts of the story can be problematic or leave a person feeling stuck. I use language as a tool to find ways to get unstuck. I feel that language is a powerful tool because it creates meaning and the reality which we live in. I believe that successful change involves both the therapist and client working collaboratively to generate new possibilities and a new story that illustrates their preferred way of living! I understand that there is risk and uncertainty in this process, which is why I make sure to provide a warm and open environment for exploration.

I believe that people seek therapy for many different reasons; to manage feelings of sadness and/or anxiety, to work through specific personal or relational crises, to better parent difficult children, or simply to understand and resolve general feelings of discontent. I work with clients for all of these reasons. I enjoy helping people discover new ways of thinking and finding qualities in themselves that have long been hidden. I think of my therapy as a way to help people understand and change patterns of behavior that interfere with life goals and self-fulfillment. Therapy is about helping people feel better.

Meaningful Life Therapy Services was founded with a vision of providing a welcoming space for self-reflection and growth. Our clients are creative, passionate, humorous, engaging, determined, wise, and unique. Some of our clients come to us because they want to learn coping skills for managing symptoms or unlearn behaviors that are no longer serving them. Some come to learn more about who they are and what they want in life. Some are simply searching for a soft place to land.

I specialize in working with couples or relationships, families, women, trauma, and grief. People often encounter relationship dynamics, losses, or wounds that spill over into their current experiences and leave them feeling unsettled, struggling with anxiousness, or finding it difficult to feel connected to the people they love. If you want to explore these past and present patterns, we can gently dig into the therapeutic process together. Our shared goal would be to learn how to honor yourself and lean into the world with curiosity and self-compassion.

Lynn M. McHale (LMSW, CAADC), practicing since 1995. I graduated from U Of M in Ann Arbor, MI with a Masters in Social Work. I am also a Certified Advanced Addictions Counselor. My approach is holistic. Regardless of the presenting problem I always assess for any substance abuse, as it can interfere with trying to reach one's goals by masking feelings. Diet is discussed, as food helps to regulate mood. Support systems play a key role in how successful therapy can be. It takes a lot of courage to enter therapy. If one is able to set aside fear, faith in oneself will surface.
