Self-Harming Therapists in Marquette, MI

Are you an expert at covering up your deepest feelings so much that those closest to you are unaware you are struggling? Is it hard for you to let people in emotionally, out of fear? Does this sometimes manifest in shame, irritability, miscommunication, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and inauthenticity? It rarely feels like the “right time” to navigate our most vulnerable feelings, until we start.

By the time individuals take steps to seek help from a mental health practitioner, they are usually looking for solutions with urgency. Burdens from stress, dysfunction, and worry are heavy. My approach is results-oriented. Whether individuals are seeking assistance for a short-term situational concern or looking to mitigate the effects of a more chronic mental health issue, together, we will identify specific targets that will be the focus of our work. My approach is not only reactive, but also preventive. Once we have stabilized your most significant concerns, we will move to proactively reduce the likelihood of their recurrence.
