Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Milford, MI

Feeling stuck? Seeking guidance, coping tools, and goals to create change? I'm Erica, owner of North Star Psychological Services. My mission is to treat each person with compassion, kindness and respect. I know that therapy is not a “one size fits all” process, which is why my treatment style is integrative, eclectic, dynamic, and heavily goal/coaching focused. I work to meet each client where they are in their journey while helping to motivate and encourage positive change and personal growth. I specialize in women's issues, perinatal mental health, young adults (18+), anxiety, life transitions, polyamory, and couples work.

My goal as a therapist is to help others learn about and understand their issues in a safe and open environment. Seeking out help can be scary and stressful, and my hope is to make people feel comfortable addressing their needs without feeling judged. Therapy is a unique and personal experience, and I provide empathy, active listening, and various interventions to match each person’s needs and goals. I use a mixture of therapeutic techniques to help individuals identify the issues they would like to focus on and to develop goals. I believe goal setting and providing tools to cope are imperative to success in therapy.

In my practice, I believe that therapy should be driven by the individual. I work to empower individuals to create the change they want to see in their lives, promote healing, and acceptance of themselves. I believe the most important indicator of success is a trusting and supportive relationship with the therapist. My role in the therapeutic process is to guide my clients towards their highest potential, while also collaborating with them in every aspect of our work. Because everyone has unique strengths and barriers, my therapy style is open, flexible, and tailored to meet the specific goals of each client.

I offer understanding, respect, and a calm, reflective logic. You can expect a caring professional who believes in being with you (no stigma, no judgment, and no expectations on what should be). I'm eclectic in theory (we are all unique individuals, and I'm keen on tailoring my approach to meet your needs), offering a strengths-based approach, practical skill-building, and a cognitive focus when needed.

Life can be difficult, but therapy can help! With my caring and gentle nature, I will create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to express yourself freely. I will work collaboratively with you, exploring your issues and working toward the achievement of your goals. Having worked as an educator for over 20 years, I bring life experience to my second career in mental health counseling. Additionally, I have worked as a yoga instructor for the past decade, offering workshops on yoga for anxiety and depression.

I am an LPC and i also have my CAADC certification, allowing me to specialize in the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse. I graduated from Oakland University with a bachelors in Psychology and then from Spring Arbor University with a masters degree in Counseling. I don't believe that any one modality of therapy works best for everybody. I believe in getting to know my client, understanding what works and does not work for them, and keeping an open line of communication with what is and isn't helping.

My favorite clients are the ones who are ready to take control of their own lives and they are ready to take their power back. They want to be happy and experience freedom in all areas of their lives and are done making excuses. My clients strive to become better people and live happy and fulfilling lives after breaking the barriers of old belief systems and barriers that were holding them back. By working together, it's possible to reclaim lost fragments of yourself and transform back into wholeness. My clients (individuals and couples) report finding freedom to be who they are, love for themselves, and alignment in purpose.
