Somatic Therapists in Grosse Pointe, MI

I create and hold a healing and restorative space for my clients. I do this through unconditional positive regard – a supportive and accepting attitude of the feelings and experiences shared by my clients. I work with individuals who are in need of guidance through life's challenges.

**Update: In-office appointments are now available** We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are" ~Anaïs Nin... Anybody can get stuck. We all have blind spots and darkness, but we don't have to live there. The first step is asking for help. I believe that we're wired for love and belonging, for connection, but that as a culture we've never been more disconnected: from ourselves, from our lives, and from each other. And in disconnection we shut down. Asking for help isn't weakness, it's an acknowledgement that we just need some relief.

Is your "stuff" blocking your JOY??? I help professional women and men who despite having it all together on the outside, are struggling on the inside. Because as smart, bold, and fabulous as you may be, sometimes our "stuff" gets in the way of us living, loving, and working with JOY. Maybe you are struggling in a complicated relationship, be it with a friend, family, or lover? Or feeling like you have no purpose in life or aren't living abundantly? Or maybe you are dealing with emotional baggage that just won't go away.

Wellness = the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal. My ideal client is one that energizes my passion for integrative health. Many of those I have worked with have complex issues that are open to exploring the many layers of treatment that include assessing the mind, body and soul. I firmly believe that you can not get to your best personal level of healthy living without practicing an intersection of practices. Using a body-based and holistic approach, I see myself as a companion on the journey with individuals to building stronger self-awareness, personal growth and wellness.

Do you feel like you can’t escape harmful patterns, are spinning in anxiety, or unable to find real joy? Are you struggling to understand why you can’t create the change you want to see in your life? For many of us, the root of our most difficult feelings and harmful patterns are emotional wounds we still harbor deep inside. The process of uncovering and learning about our personal histories can help us move through the pains that are buried within us, and towards the life you want.

I often work with people who experience anxiety, depression, and unwanted coping behaviors that can come with life transitions, shame, grief, attachment and trauma. These are things that can affect relationships along with performance in work, school, sports or creative outlets.

My Clinical Psychology private practice allows for maximum individual attention and confidentiality. Since 1988, I have specialized in treating trauma conditions resulting from war, auto, workplace, violence and residuals of childhood abuse. Related conditions include depression, anxiety, physical pain, relationship difficulties, addictions and cognitive disorders. As a result of auto and occupational injuries, many patients/clients suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries; and they can greatly benefit from my individual and group psychotherapy. I am a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist so some of my work involves cases in litigation including evaluations, testimony and expert witness services.

Hi. My name is Kathleen Erz. I am the owner of Erz Psychotherapy Services. I believe direct, honest, and caring communication is essential to effective therapy. I tend to have a straight-forward approach with people. Often old patterns of behavior or thinking get in the way of experiencing our potential. It is my job to help my clients get over their hurdles and through blocks in order to help them experience happiness.

I love to empower women who have been through all types of life circumstances. I work with all types of circumstances, whether they be relational issues, trauma, systemic difficulties or anything else. I am here for it. You've probably read a lot of profiles and seen similar ideas such as moving from surviving to thriving in your life. I don't shy away from deep topics, horrific trauma, unimaginable pain. If you are looking for an authentic therapist who is deeply empathic and can be "real" at the same time, then let's work together.

You are so tired of feeling anxious, stressed, and discouraged all the time. Your life looks good from the outside, but deep down you are struggling with all the worries and stress of your life, and your thoughts are out of control. You’re someone who is worried when you are around other people, even when you’re by yourself, feeling hopeless, and afraid that you will feel like this forever. You’ve tried to brush it off and start over. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to stop worrying. You’re ready to feel more motivated. Most of all, you’re ready to feel happy and positive again! I want to help you get there.
