Therapists in Dexter, MI

My ideal client is a woman who is feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious/depressed. She is really good at taking care of her loved ones but sometimes struggles with how to really take care of herself. She knows that she deserves to feel joy and peace but isn’t sure how to achieve it. My therapeutic approach is action based, present/future focused, typically short term (3-6 months), and goal centered. I’ve been practicing as a therapist for about 15 years and specialize in working with women who are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and stressed. My clients tend to be high achieving, dependable women who others often rely on.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or other painful feelings? Do you experience difficulties with intense emotions sometimes? Most people do. When that happens, it can feel like your emotions are unmanageable- as if you are caught up in flood waters and you have no control over your environment, swept along wherever your emotions take you. Maybe a trauma in your past or a personality disorder can make these emotions even more challenging. Fortunately, therapy can help resolve these emotional strangleholds, and you can acquire peace of mind and mental wellbeing.

Unfortunately...Life is not fair. We may get knocked down by things out of our control, but it’s always our responsibility to get back up. Choosing therapy is a brave step in putting your pieces back together, a step towards freedom, happiness, and being the best you. My name is Sheri Leighton and I am a Licensed Master Clinical Social Worker (LMSW). I graduated from The University of Michigan School of Social Work Program in 2005.

Madison Rowland is a Limited License Psychologist working under the supervision of Dr. Martin Fletcher at Renew Hope Counseling.

I believe therapy can and should be for everyone. For that reason, my treatment approach emphasizes collaboration, evidence-based practices, and compassion. That means we work together to identify your treatment goals and preferences while affirming your identity and experiences. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and interpersonal approaches to care. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, LGBTQ experiences, neurodivergent experiences, and interpersonal relationships.

I see the many dimensions of life, including self identity, connections to others, history, humor, and so on, as central to the process of real healing. Bringing the invaluable benefit of a lifelong career as a psychotherapist to the healing experience, my contribution to the process of therapy simply cannot be summarized in a few words. I offer an approach that evolves to best meet the needs of each individual or couple.

Congratulations! You've taken the first step toward feeling better by reaching out for support. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 26 years of experience. I have successfully helped clients with such issues as stress and anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, & depression. My style of therapy is very upfront, as I have found that being direct with clients (and them being direct as well) has been the most effective way to progress through challenges. At the same time, I work hard to treat everyone with respect and compassion. I also love to laugh, and utilize humor as part of my therapy regularly.

I am a psychologist working with everyday people with everyday struggles. My philosophy is guided by my unwavering belief in people's ability to achieve their greatest potential & become their true authentic self. I coach people who are feeling down, overwhelmed, anxious, conflicted, coping with change and transitions, making decisions, or struggling with marital or relationship challenges. While many people can manage their problems on their own, the therapeutic process often enables them to reach their goals and decrease symptoms and stress more quickly.

You are not alone. You are not broken or defective. Help is available, and the first step is admitting to yourself that you need it. My ideal client is someone who is 25+, self-identifies with one or more marginalized groups, and wants to change their life/world by starting with themself. Common concerns I work with are: LGBTQIA+, low self-esteem/self-worth, post-traumatic stress, institutional/systemic abuse/barriers, loneliness, depression, anger, dysfunctional family of origin, adjustment difficulties, childhood abuse/neglect, identity development/exploration, anxiety, hypervigilance, and difficulties connecting with others.

Perhaps you are finding yourself in a place where there are things about your life that you would like to change. Perhaps you are struggling with challenging symptoms, situations or people and need a helping hand as you navigate difficult times. Maybe you'd like a safe place to talk and gain insight. I am a fully-licensed clinical psychologist, and I would be happy to help. I have extensive experience working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, stress, and relationship problems.

Currently not accepting new clients (5/17/24). Hi, my name is Halene (pronounced like Helene). It is my pleasure and an honor to be chosen as a part of a therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to discuss what is bothering them, be heard, and find assistance. Whether clients are trying to make sense out of life changes that are affecting their mood, or struggling with anxiety, substance use, or ADHD symptoms, I enjoy helping people find creative ways to improve their quality of life.

I enjoy helping individuals and families improve their lives by sorting through their significant life events and utilizing a variety of techniques (learned over 17 years of counseling and from my own various life experiences).

Hello, my name is Brett Johnson and I have worked in mental health since 2006, first providing direct care. I received my a BA degree from Albion College in 2009, and served in the Peace Corps from 2010 to 2012 as a youth development volunteer in Bulgaria. Following my Peace Corps service, I worked as a case manager for adults who receive mental health services from 2012 to 2020. I received my MSW degree from Western Michigan University in 2020 and I have worked as a clinical social worker and therapist at Peaceful Mind Counseling Services since then.

Welcome! I am a clinical social worker who combines a holistic approach with research-supported therapeutic techniques in my clinical therapy practice. I am experienced working with those with anxiety, eating disorders, trauma and other adjustment issues. I have a special interest in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. I am enthusiastic about working with you through all of the diverse and personal manifestations of mental healthiness.

Are you searching to find answers and for some reason, you're not finding the outcomes or resolutions for making your life better? Positive change can be difficult to achieve. Let me be the therapist assisting you through you life's challenging transitions. I can provide counseling that will give you the tools to better navigate through life's dilemmas. I treat adults and adolescents who are struggling through a variety of issues that are problematic for their current life's circumstances. Issues may include depression, anxiety, male and female issues, trauma, substance abuse, sexuality issues, and developmental transitions.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. Each individual brings new and different elements to culturally reoccuring problems. Our work together usually enriches us both. As a CBT therapist, I believe the value of changing thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. These strategies are especially effective for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and interpersonal interactions. I am also an advocate for personal choice and self care. So while changing thoughts and attitudes is helpful, the client decides which thoughts and attitudes they want to change. Finally, I supplement CBT with practical strategies for relationships, healthy lifestyles, relaxation, problem solving and general coping.

My practice is focused on individuals struggling with loss; trauma (past or present); a family member's addiction or mental illness; major life transitions, including divorce; depression; anxiety and other challenges. I tailor my approach to fit the client's unique concerns, drawing from models including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed "parts" work and mindfulness based practices.
