In Person Therapists in City of the Village of Clarkston, MI

KindMind Counseling is an outpatient mental health (therapy) practice in Clarkston, Michigan treating patients struggling with a diverse range of mental health concerns. Our mission is to alleviate the mental health epidemic by bringing greater mental healthcare access to a community that is so critically underserved, while also taking a progressive position to bring an end to the negative stigma that has, without justification, plagued mental healthcare for so long.

I'm Dr. Roxanna Duntley-Matos LMSW, PhD, cultural anthropologist and LMSW in Michigan and Missouri. I address cultural and educational adaptation, emotional/relationship challenges, career stressors, and trauma. I am a former Board member of the MICTF to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect, and of the Organization of Latino Social Workers-MI.

Life can be complicated and at times, confusing. I would like to help you through life changes, circumstances, and situations in which you find the need for supportive and encouraging counsel. I am excited to help individuals build their strengths in the creation of strong mental health.

Every counselor has a different approach, personality, and feel. Good counseling usually means there is a good fit between you and your therapist. So, it’s important that you feel comfortable talking to me. I try to create a connection where you feel accepted, understood, and supported. Once we’re comfortable together, talking about complicated things (anger, depression, anxiety, relationships) becomes a lot easier. Some people may feel comfortable right away. Some take time to get there. I hope to talk about what’s important to you and hopefully do something about it.

Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the field for over 30 years. I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. As a social worker, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to share their concerns and work toward healing. Grounded in empathy, the ability to listen, and deep-felt compassion, my clients can find hope and support through our sessions.

Life can present us with challenges that sometimes feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I'm here to offer you a safe space where you can explore these challenges, gain insight, and develop the tools you need to thrive. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and collaboration. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to foster healing and growth. Together, we'll work to uncover the underlying patterns that may be holding you back and explore new ways of thinking and behaving that align with your values and goals.

Are you going through a though time within a relationship? Relationships are the cornerstone of our lives. We all strive to have healthy and happy marriages, friendships, families and partnerships. Some of us feel that we are on a precipice, while others just need a tune up. My focus is working with adolescents, adults, couples and families facing a variety of difficulties.

I work with any variety of individuals, partnerships, and families. I am trained in systems theory and believe equally in nature and nurture. Many things have made us each who we are and I love helping people along toward their personal happiness, no matter what that might look like to you!

My potential clients would be dealing with anxiety and/or depression caused by work stress, family issues, or difficult life transitions. They may potentially be dealing with trauma related to experiences they had while growing up, or recent incidences that have happened in their lives. Their goals are to process their experiences, and to develop positive coping skills that can help them to manage the emotions that come with the difficulties in their lives. They may also want to help grow positive relationships with friends or family members that can be positive supports for them.

Throughout life we have experiences that impact us, negatively or positively. While those experiences often help shape who we are as individuals, we can find ourselves needing to actively process them. You deserve a safe space to prioritize yourself, your experiences and your mental health. Together we can work to create that safe space to reach your goals related to your mental health, as well as identifying your strengths and resiliency.

Life is hard. You were not meant to go through life on your own. We all live in a world full of joy and freedom, pain and suffering. Let me come alongside you and help you navigate through what it is that you are experiencing. Nothing is too insignificant if it is creating distress for you. I will help bring clarity to your situation, allow you a safe place to process thoughts and feelings, and help empower you to bring about the necessary changes that you are seeking. Counseling is a process so the therapeutic relationship must be one of good quality.

I am a Nationally Certified Professional Counselor who is passionate about working with Depression; Anxiety; Parenting; Personality Disorders; Psychosis; Phobias; Adjustment Disorders; Relationship problems and Autism Spectrum Disorders. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my graduate degree from Walden University in 2012 and I am a National Board of Certified Counselors Rural Scholar. I utilize Behavior modification consistent with Applied Behavior Analysis, along with CBT; DBT; Mindfulness, and Existential therapies; each tailored to the patient's presenting needs.

I believe in having a safe place to tell one’s story. The counseling journey begins with providing an environment in which you feel comfortable, supported, accepted, and understood. This then paves the path to work on complex issues such as anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, life transitions, etc. I hope to help you work towards growth, personal fulfillment, and to gain a better understanding of yourself and others. I’ve worked with diverse populations in the mental health field for over ten years and received my master’s degree in counseling at Oakland University.

I offer a strength-based, client-centered approach to treatment. My clients hold the reins! I offer a kind, compassionate, and empathetic approach along with unconditional positive regard in an objective, nonjudgmental atmosphere. I use modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and aspects of dialectical behavioral theory to help my clients navigate through life’s stressors and lead them toward their goals, which will lead to healthier and more fulfilling relationships with others as well as themselves.

I have nearly 20 years of experience helping individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and adjustment to challenging life circumstances. I specialize in supporting women of all ages, including those managing issues related to menopause. Having navigated my own path through divorce and rebuilding, I intimately understand the complexities of starting anew. This personal journey has fueled my commitment to helping others find strength, resilience, and fulfillment during life's transitions. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and your higher/true Self.

If you are struggling and wish to make lasting changes in your life, I would love the opportunity to provide a personalized and integrative approach to therapy that will effectively help you. My goal is to help you achieve balance and harmony in all areas of life, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit. I consider the individual as a whole person, addressing their emotional, mental, social and spiritual aspects in order to promote holistic well being. I believe in all of our innate power to create change and heal ourselves.

I have extensive experience working with people of all ages struggling with life stressors, mental health disorders, substance abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, and PTSD. My background includes being a Clinical Director of a substance abuse agency, as well as an Adjunct Professor at Rochester College and OCC. I have also worked assessing military personnel for mental health issues. We live in an ever-changing world, and with any change comes stress and grief. These emotions can be transient, or open the door for other issues to come forward.

I have over 20 years of experience. I believe the most important part of therapy is to meet people where they are at. We are all on our own journey and moving at our own pace. Therapy is about learning to understand ourselves and within that understanding we find acceptance. Amazing new things happen when we can see things from a different perspective. I focus on strategies to manage stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and any life transition. My style is upfront and goal-oriented.

Whether it is your 1st or 100th time seeking help, I am here to encourage and support you. We are all captains of our ships and sometimes we need someone to stand by our side and give a little direction while we maneuver through the rocky areas. You will always be in control and can still lean on me for that added guidance. My approach to therapy is person-centered and trauma-focused. I use whatever therapy modality is necessary for your individual and unique situation.
