Male Therapists in Farmington, MI
My overall approach to therapy is from a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) perspective and I have over 10yrs of professional experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, parenting issues, relationship boundaries & conflict, school issues, self-esteem and peer relationships, and many more issues.
I am very passionate about & love working with teenagers & young men especially those individuals struggling with ADHD, as well as those with video game addictions & other electronic-related problems. I also really enjoy working with many other clients regardless of their gender, age (10yo & older), etc. I believe I have a natural ability to quickly create a calm, safe & relaxed environment in sessions which is rooted in my steadfast belief that every client has value and every client’s situation contains hope.

The modern world spins so rapidly, and with such intensity, many individuals search for a therapeutic relationship that cultivates a distinctive space for authentic self-reflection. After all, reflecting in isolation is limiting since the only voice we hear is our own, which is often critical. Some individuals come to therapy to reconnect with their nature, others to process a paradoxical state of healing sickness. Some come to rust away their armor, others to unify in the curative presence of relational synchronicity. Ultimately, one comes to therapy by virtue of being a genuine expression of hope, resilience, and self-empowerment.

Welcome. I am a Clinical Psychologist who approaches counseling as a natural occurrence existing within contemporary life. Sometimes, circumstances can become overwhelming when old tools are not up to the task, or there simply are no tools. I travel respectfully through evolving lives with compassion and humor to address: relationship issues, pain, divorce, transitions, depression, sexual identity, PTSD, anxiety, grief, careers, food, addictions and substance abuse. Whether working short-term or longer, ongoing or intermittent, my clients learn to access their own internal and natural resources, revealing fresh insights that provide the clarity needed to move forward.

Right now, it can be difficult to find a therapist that is a good fit, let alone one that is available for sessions.

I believe quality one on one care and family therapy can greatly improve children's emotional and mental struggles as well as support the family unit. I also work with families and adults with ADHD, Anxiety, and Trauma Related concerns.

Life is unexpected and full of unknowns. Familial, relational, and societal (among others) pressures are de manding and seem like they will never end. This is stressful and may cause you to feel depressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and negative about your past, present, and future. You may feel like you have nobody to turn to or to ask for help. Do you feel like you're carrying a burden, beating yourself up, or overthinking?

I work with all types of clients and issues but I specialize in men’s issues, pornography addiction, couples, pre-marriage, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression.
I enjoy helping people who feel stuck in a certain area of their lives to find hope, get free and then find new patterns of living that allow their lives to function well and even to thrive. I have experienced the blessing of therapy in my own life and by God’s grace have been married for over 32 years, have raised 4 children, and have overcome a variety of personal and family crises. I know that people want to live meaningful and productive lives and when problems arise in their personal lives and relationships, it really helps to have someone come alongside of you, listen to you, and explore solutions to those problems together.

Life is hard, and we all experience it differently. We have gone through a lot over the past few years, and moving forward is not always simple. In addition, finding the right therapist to help you navigate through challenges can be extremely difficult. I believe every relationship is different, and I make it a priority to have a healthy therapeutic connection with every single one of my clients.

Finally, many people dealing with emotional issues do not always fit into the limiting categories of a formal diagnosis.
I provide psychotherapy, counseling and group therapy for anxiety, depression, bereavement, grief, men's issues, anger management, substance abuse/addiction and a wide range of other personal, family and marital problems, including couples counseling. Also, I have advanced substance abuse/addiction education and training. From this foundation, I have a solid understanding of the role that drugs, including prescription drugs and the brains own natural compounds, have in affecting a person's mental and emotional health.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
