Divorce Therapists in Burton, MI

My goal as a therapist is to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment while encouraging and promoting them to grow mentally, intellectually, psychologically, socially and spiritually to reach their optimal potential of autonomy. I provide psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I am experienced in working with individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Marital counseling, divorce grief, anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship/family counseling, grief, and spiritual counseling. I also provide mentoring and academic tutoring for children and adolescence.

You never thought that raising a child would be so difficult or overwhelming! You want to connect with your kid but feel distant and out of touch. Maybe there's a cultural gap, or maybe your teen is dealing with mental health issues that you find hard to understand or know what to do. Your strong-willed child may be challenging their school and home environments, resisting you every step of the way. Perhaps your adolescent is detached and unmotivated and you wish to help them find their spark. You may feel under-appreciated or lonely in your struggles and find yourself repeating actions you promised you would never do as a parent.

Love and Healing Therapy provides a safe place for clients to learn skills for dealing with today and the future. Sometimes it is not easy to be in present day if we are carrying around the past. Many have been taught to put on the mask and all will be well. Sometimes we need help to let the mask fall and see the real person.

My approach to therapy is primarily person centered which seeks to create change through a positive and empathetic counseling relationship. This approach will help you to identify your own answers to problems or barriers and seek change through collaborative goal setting and treatment planning. Counseling is a deeply personal and individual process, and we may incorporate aspects of other therapy approaches in our sessions as needed, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, or solution-based therapy.

As we move through life, challenges can either keep us stuck or propel us into new ideas, perceptions, and growth. Counseling and life coaching can help navigate those challenges with a positive, healthy mind set. The healthier our mind set, the healthier our relationships will be with our self and others. Depression, anxiety, trauma, can hold us hostage from living our best life. Eclectic therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and others can help bring awareness and change and lead you to a happier, more fulfilling life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or out of control? Does your life feel out of balance? Maybe you don't like the way you feel about yourself and negativity weighs you down. Perhaps relationships with others are difficult and it’s hard to tell people no, even when you want to. Do simple things feel unmanageable right now? Sleep might be difficult – maybe it's hard to fall or stay asleep. Perhaps you have nightmares or feel like your brain can't shut down. You keep trying to push it aside, but it’s getting harder and harder to pretend everything is okay. When we struggle, it can feel lonely and isolating. You don't have to feel so alone.
