Therapists in Chesterfield, MI

I am a fully licensed Clinical Social Worker Nationally Certified in the Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) Model. Apollo is my sidekick, has been certified by Dog Training Elite as a Certified Therapy Dog, and joins in on sessions. I have extensive training and experience working with the youth and adolescent populations, both as a mental health provider and as a high school sports coach, with a focus providing mood disorder and trauma focused treatment. I also work with young adults who have experienced childhood traumas and or are experiencing a time of personal transition with associated symptoms.

It would be hard to argue that our lives haven't been a lot more complicated over the last few years. Whether you are a child or teen dealing with peer pressure or the stressors at school, a stay at home parent trying to manage everyones busy schedules, a working professional balancing family life and the stress a job can bring, a single or divorced parent struggling to get through each day, a young adult looking for direction in life, or part of a family trying to raise your kids in this increasingly complex world, I have extensive experience in all of these areas. I am committed to helping you work through these challenges.

Hello! My name is Chris Kourtakis. I am currently an intern at The University of Phoenix. I am working towards completion of my Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling. My real-life approach addresses mental health, career challenges, life transitions, personal goals, and my client’s overall well-being. I specialize in Adulting issues (work, marriage, parenting, dating, work/life balance, educational/professional goals), Phase of Life Issues (empty nesters, retirement, aging, relationship changes, etc.), Couples Counseling, Sexual Health and Human Sexuality.

I will support the growth of teens and adults who struggle with self confidence, decision making, relationships, and planning for the future. Exploration will begin with examining home life, social skills, and aspects of career or school. If one is struggling with any of these elements, it is likely having a negative impact on other areas. In addition, I can improve a student-athlete's performance in competition. By taking the same approach, an athlete can maximize their potential by identifying and improving other areas of their life away from the game.

My goal is to provide a supportive atmosphere to help assist in navigating and enhancing your ability to overcome problems, strengthen your relationships, build confidence, and develop a healthy sense of self. Therapy is not a one size fits all and I believe treatment should be individualized based on the client. The therapy approaches that I frequently use are Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Strength Based.

Whatever you are struggling with, I am here to help. Life brings many challenges and obstacles. Together we can work through and overcome those challenges. My goal is to help you optimize your personal potential by feeling heard, understood, valued, and supported.

If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, problems in your marital, peer and work relationships, I would like to help. Perhaps you have experienced a significant loss (of any kind) and need someone that can help you process your feelings. Your safety and comfort are important to me. I will take every precaution to promote your interests in therapy and assure your emotional security. By approaching therapy as a partnership, I aspire to leave clients feeling supported and empowered. If you are looking for a supportive therapeutic partnership, let's talk. I look forward to hearing from you!

Working with adolescents, adults, and couples is my passion and primary focus. Therapy will empower you to overcome life's challenges and replace old patterns and beliefs with a new openness to the possibilities of your potential. My therapeutic techniques provide supportive interactions that can replace one's undesirable outcomes with improvement in self-awareness, ability to cope with trauma and grief, as well as personal barriers. Life is a constant balancing act of ongoing work, school, sports or health demands that include building and maintaining relationships that at the same time may require social, personal, and/ or parenting responsibilities.

I have faith in the idea that people can, and do change. In my experience, change is not always a linear process. Often, when trying to change a situation or behavior, people fall short or stumble. Being able to truly evaluate an individual's strengths and building upon those, allows for the needed empowerment to overcome our barriers. I am passionate about helping individuals to overcome various behavioral health concerns. Whether you are facing addiction, anxiety, anger issues, grief, stress, depression or trauma, I use a strengths based approach, coupled with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build upon your inherit resiliency to affect change.
