EMDR Therapists in Mount Clemens, MI

Have you experienced a loss or traumatic event that's left you feeling stuck or directionless? Does it feel like life will never be good again? Do you just wish everything could to go back to how it used to be? Let me introduce myself: My name is Wesley, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I've dedicated my career to helping people just like you navigate through life's challenges and overcome the obstacles they face along the way.

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.

Lets be honest, the world is going to Hell in a handbasket, and if that includes your world, I can help you. I am a licensed master social worker, but I fancy myself a psychologist at heart. This unites the best of the two disciplines as social work focuses on fair and ethical treatment for all humanity, while psychology emphasizes behavioral, psychoanalytical skills. Both of which I confidently uphold, and define my career path by. I have experience with both group and individual therapy relating to anger management, opioids, cognitive behavioral therapy, family dynamics, 12 steps, and many others.

You've been through so much, and you're tired of carrying these heavy emotions on your own. There are days when you find it difficult to cope, and it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. The last thing you need is to feel stuck or helpless. You're not one to back down from a challenge, but there are moments when it all feels overwhelming, and it's hard to keep your resilience intact.

We understand that life can be challenging, and sometimes, you may feel lost or burdened by past experiences or uncertain about your future. We're here to provide a compassionate space where your story is heard and valued. Whether you're struggling with finding your life's purpose, feeling trapped by your past, or seeking to transform your mental health, we can help. We specialize in working with first responders, law enforcement, military/veterans, the formerly incarcerated, and individuals currently involved in the justice system. Feeling stuck doesn't have to be your reality.

I'm honored you're here. I admire your strength and courage to seek support through mental health therapy. I believe all individuals hold the ability to empower themselves through healing, acceptance, and understanding; both striving for inner peace and a sense of belonging in their world. I sincerely commend you for your bravery. Vulnerability is tough! My approach as a therapist is strengths-based, assisting individuals to recognize their inherent resilience through self-exploration and empowerment. Through warmth and compassion I aim to create a comfortable, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to attain your unique goals.

My ideal client is looking to make changes in their life, either to improve functioning, improve personal relationships, or would like to find a greater sense of personal life satisfaction, meaningfulness, and inner contentment. My ideal client may have recently experienced a crisis or increase in stressors or has a long history of experiencing interpersonal struggles and unhappiness and is looking for a therapist that provides an empathic approach and offers a safe nonjudgemental environment to explore thoughts and feelings. My client is interested in learning effective coping skills, how to challenge distorted thinking, and ways to improve self-esteem.

Inspiring others to believe, and sometimes believe again," is my personal mission. I have had extensive experience working with couples, men, and adolescent boys, helping people find resolution with depression, anger, anxiety, PTSD, Grief and Loss, and trauma. I am especially interested in helping people enrich their marriages, relationships, achieve fulfillment, and grow personally to value themselves and others. Christian principles guide my counseling, however, I respect, value, and honor my clients’ individuality, faith practices, and growth aspirations. "Nothing changes until I do." I do offer telehealth.
