Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI

Hi. Welcome. One of the bravest and commendable things one can do is to ask for help. I specialize in the treatment of ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Behavior Challenges, Depression, Family/Parent Concerns, Giftedness, Grief and Loss, and Social Skills Training, with adolescents, adults, children, families, and young adults, ages 5 and up, using cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused treatment approaches. I have 24 years of clinical experience in outpatient behavioral health, private practice, and school settings.

Welcome to a journey of transformation and growth. I'm Lexi, a therapist with a passion for helping individuals and families discover their inner strength and resilience. Picture me as your compass on the path to emotional well-being. With a Master's in Social Work and a heart full of compassion, I'm here to guide you through life's twists and turns. Whether you are a parent who needs a non-judgmental ear and some guidance or a child, teen, or young adult who needs a relatable therapist to help you cope with life stressors, I will be here for you every step of the way, offering a unique approach to therapy.

Do you ever feel like it’s Groundhog Day? Every day seems exactly like the one before. You wake up, work, eat, sleep - lather, rinse, repeat. We’re all a little different than we were pre-pandemic. Perhaps you’re taking care of aging parents, your kids, trying to keep your marriage together. But what about you? Who takes care of you? You thought working from home would be great, but now you feel isolated and alone. You have people you can talk to, but you don’t want to feel like you’re “complaining”. You just want to stop feeling as though you’re on autopilot. You’re just… so… tired. You know what? I feel exhausted sometimes, too.

I specialize in helping teens and adults with addiction, depression, and anxiety. What differentiates me from other therapists is that I draw from my unique personal experience in addiction. I intimately understand the challenges and complexities of addiction firsthand. In addition, I bring a compassionate and empathetic approach to therapy, helping individuals navigate the path to recovery with unwavering support. My personal experience enables me to connect deeply with clients, fostering a non-judgmental environment where they feel safe and understood.

Looking for a new therapist can be a difficult step on your mental health journey. Whether we work together or not, you’ve already shown courage simply by visiting my profile. We are constantly growing, developing new strengths, and identifying new and continuous challenges. You are unique and the expert of your own life. As your therapist, I would feel privileged to learn about your journey thus far and be honored to take some of your next steps with you. Your needs are non-compromisable and will guide our time together.

Are you struggling to meet your full potential? Does fear seem to get in the way of your true desires? Do your self-perceptions affect other aspects of your life such as your relationships and/or career? The journey of therapy is one of self-reflection and exploration, self-awareness, and growth. I was trained with the Humanistic belief that many factors of one's life play a role in our development and fuel our thought and behavior patterns later in life. Together, we can develop a treatment plan that works best for you and encompasses your current needs and goals.

I am a clinical therapist with 25 years of experience. I work with adults, families, couples and adolescent girls. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, as well as family systems issues such as parenting, abuse, divorce, military transitions, and aging family difficulties. I utilize a wide repertoire of evidenced based practices, as determined by each person's particular needs, seated in a relational foundation that creates a safe space for change.

Warm, kind, compassionate, empathetic and nonjudgmental. These are the qualities that I value and practice as a therapist and educator for over 30 years. Working with pre-teens, teens, young adults and their families to problem solve and fulfill their goals is my life’s work. I have been a teacher, school counselor and now a therapist, working with kids on a variety of issues in their lives. I have a special passion working with LGBTQ+ individuals to help them be their authentic selves, fulfill their dreams, live their lives and follow their journeys at their own pace – and support their parents and families in the process.

To all mothers navigating the beautiful yet challenging journey of parenthood - whether it's the anticipation of pregnancy, the rollercoaster of postpartum emotions, or the challenges of raising older children - I'm here to walk alongside you. Your experiences are unique, and your feelings are valid. Together, let's navigate the highs and lows, celebrate the victories, and equip you with the tools and strategies needed for self-care and growth. Whether you need guidance, validation, or simply a listening ear, know that you're not alone. Your well-being matters, and I'm here to help you prioritize it.

Welcome! My clients tell me that I am warm, caring, insightful and supportive. I will work with you to define and achieve your goals in an open, non-judgmental manner. I will provide safe space for you to explore your needs in therapy. I consider mind-body-spiritual-environmental contributions to your presenting issues and what makes you, YOU. I specialize in resolving grief and loss of all types, in order to inspire transformative healing. My clients relay that they felt "truly seen" by me and that I was able to help them name, and thus heal, the distress they were experiencing. "You prevented me from spinning into depression!"

Do you feel your mind racing? A constant sense of doom? Feel you need to be perfect? You just cannot "get your act together"? Feel overwhelmed or burnt out? Do you want to have better understanding of your child and feel more empowered as a parent?

The problem with therapy bios (like this one) is that it's impossible to see if the therapist and client are a good fit from 2-3 generic paragraphs. Major studies show that up to 60 percent of progress in therapy comes from the therapeutic relationship. Conversational fit and flow are crucial to success in therapy.

Do you or your child have trouble concentrating, have feelings of Anxiety or Depression or struggling socially? I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that are personalized for each person's individual needs. I work with children and adults of all ages, both male and female . I employ strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapeutic modalities to work with clients on a variety of areas of concern including anxiety, depression, family issues, attention deficit disorder, parenting, self-injury and other issues that affect children and adults.

Are you struggling with shame, vulnerability and the feeling of 'never being good enough'? Do you feel disengaged from life, your loved ones, and sick of watching moments pass you by? Have you spent all your time making sure you never fall, and as a result never learned how to get back up? Maybe you're known as "the perfectionist", "the people pleaser", "the cynic", "the know-it-all", "the control freak". You care too much- it's kind of your thing...but it's become exhausting and you're over it. Now's the time- you're ready to make changes. Let's work together to clear the fog and get you back to the quality of life you deserve.
