Sports Performance Therapists in Dearborn Heights, MI

My goal is to focus on creating a supportive, understanding, and collaborative environment to aid my clients in developing and reaching their therapeutic goals. I have spent significant time with college-aged individuals helping to cope with the stress of life transitions, school, relationships, intrusive thoughts, and other anxieties of daily life. I also have experience with depression, trauma, grief, and building emotional regulation skills, and have a unique interest in aiding clients with sports related difficulties.

Anxiety, relationship stress, grief, or other life events can make it difficult to put energy into things that matter most to us. Together, we will explore things that may be getting in the way of your goals and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in order to build lifelong skills and get (or keep) you on a path toward a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Do you feel like you are carrying struggles others could not possibly understand? You feel anxious, depressed, unheard, misunderstood, and tired. Tired of waiting for change and for life to feel meaningful again. Tired of past trauma that continues to resurface in unexpected ways. Perhaps you are struggling with parenting, blended families or step-parenting, causing emotional unrest and uncertainty. Perhaps you are an athlete dealing with the pressure and struggles of your craft, or maybe you are dealing with relationship issues in your life. Maybe you just simply need someone to be there for you.

My mission is to support athletes (youth, collegiate, amateur/professional) to develop mental skills to improve their performance in sport. Developing mental skills can have a positive impact in all areas of one's life. Athletes may be seeking support to reduce performance anxiety, increase confidence and motivation, create effective routines, set short-term and long-term goals, avoid burnout, recover from injuries, and more. I also provide support to performers in the arts, including dance, theater, and music performance. This valuable work can be done in-season or while training in the off-season.

I am not currently accepting new clients. However I have a team of Masters and Doctorate level students with immediate availability who offer sessions for $25. They come from the top psychology programs in the area and are supervised by myself. Call now to get an appointment scheduled!

My ideal client are young males ages 6-18, and married men who want to be better husbands and fathers. Growing up in households without male role models often has boys/men needing guidance. Without guidance can lead to current and future family dysfunction leading to divorce, duplicating fatherless homes, and making bad choices in life. I UNDERSTAND what it is like to have that "absent father void". I also understand what it is like to be a husband trying his best to become "that good father and husband" to his wife. Let's talk about how to get there. Please stay encouraged.

I provide individual and group psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. My work with children is specific to gender identity. My clinical work is focused on eating disorders, gender identity, LGBTQQ+ concerns, multicultural counseling, survivors of sexualized violence and trauma. I work with clients through a social justice and holistic health lens that emphasizes the inseparable connection between our mind, body, and environment. My approach to therapy is strength-based and client centered rooted in cultural humility. I incorporate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based techniques depending upon the goals of each client.

My name is Tim and I am looking forward to working with you! To me, counseling is a shared partnership in which we work together to explore solutions that work for your life. My role as your counselor is to be a listener, witness, and facilitator in assisting you with your goals. I believe positive change and positive outcomes are possible and that you possess strengths to find solutions to your concerns and problems.

My vision is for people to understand the value of taking care of their mental health each day. Our Mental Health plays a significant role in our overall health and well-being. As we navigate the challenges that we all face in this life, it is important that we learn to recognize our mental health needs and how we can take better care of ourselves in this area. One of my goals is to help remove the stigma that many of us have regarding seeking counseling. You do not have to have a mental illness in order to seek out or benefit from counseling. Seeking counseling is a form of self-care.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused psychologist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While I can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, I will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Do you have questions or concerns related to development, learning, or behavior? Then we are the center for you. We specialize in the assessment of very young children to very young adults. We provide testing for ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, brain injury or other neurological complaints. Are you wondering "what is the best treatment for my child?" "How will my child best learn?" or you may not even know where to begin, then this is a good first step that has no obligations and complete confidentiality. We also provide specialized treatment for a select of neurodevelopmental and mood conditions.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or panicked? Are you having difficulty getting out of bed or through your day? Is Depression a struggle? Are you feeling alone, scared, and confused? As a Psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, I can teach you many tools to help empower you to move gently and effectively past these challenges. Depression, trauma, grief, and anxiety are not just thoughts in our heads, they are physical experiences in our bodies, therefore I move beyond talk therapy to utilize techniques such as EFT and EMDR that address the body's needs, as well as the mind's, so relief comes quickly.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can openly express themselves and feel truly heard. My goal is to collaborate with you in a way that honors your experiences, values, and aspirations. I believe in a strengths-based approach because it is important to acknowledge that all of us have strengths even when there are stressors within our lives.
