Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI

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.

I specialize in students of all ages who are not working at their potential. These include individuals with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Aspergers Syndrome, Work or School-related Anxiety, Gifted Learning Challenges, or Unconventional Learning Styles. Thirty years in public education has provided me with the experience to teach strategies to the student, and to recommend individualized accommodations and modifications to parents and educators. I also provide short-term counseling to rebuild self-esteem and motivation. I focus on the student's inherent gifts and am an advocate for the student.

I offer clients a safe space to share, open up and work on reaching their goals. Reaching out for your own self care is the first, most important but most difficult step… and is to be admired. Whether you are calling for yourself or for your child, I am here for you to listen non-judgmentally and to get to the root of the issue. I work with adults, children, and teens utilizing various treatment approaches including CBT behavioral approaches, play and art therapy, DBT and others. My goal is to help others to get to the bottom of their struggles, and to challenge the negative beliefs they have.

I believe in meeting my clients where they are today with a strong sense of empathy and compassion. I have been working with families, teens and adults since 2001; treating a variety of struggles such as anxiety, depression, relationships issues, parenting concerns, sexual dysfunction/health and more. I find that building a strong connection with my clients is essential in making progress in the therapeutic relationship. If you are struggling with work, life stress, relationships, and other transitional issues this is your first step. These roadblocks that keep you from living your best life can be overcome!

Sometimes when it seems like things are falling apart, they really are falling into place. Hand in hand, I walk with my clients to help them discover improved coping skills and to process major life events. My style of therapy is client centered - I believe in non judgmental positive regard and processing issues together instead of the stereotypical therapist who asks "how does that make you feel?"

My focus is with elementary age children and senior citizens to discover alternative ways to cope with life’s struggles to meet their therapy goals in a self-loving and uplifting manner. Sometimes I use a little humor when appropriate and explore what can bring you joy to increase your resilience to adapt to difficult life challenges. My style is warm and creative to meet your personality to address issues. I offer play therapy for kids using CBT, games, mindfulness, art, music and more for learning about their feelings and coping better with divorce, ADHD, illness, bullying , anxiety and /or depression.

I have many years of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, imposter syndrome, grief and loss, low self-esteem, the LGBTQ+ community, and establishing and maintaining healthier relationships with those around you.

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing challenges of aging. Presenting issues include one or more of the following: caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, depression, anxiety, loneliness, diagnosis/prognosis, end-of-life, improved communication skills among family members. Guidance and support is provided to address short and long term needs.

My ideal client is one that has taken the first step in therapy: being open to getting help. My approach to therapy is to identify current issues a person is having, and identifying and creating goals both long term and short term. I believe the best way to solve a problem is to identify what the problem truly is, and create a plan using steps to overcome the problem.

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients for couple or individual goal-oriented psychotherapy. My focus and training surrounds healing both internal and external relationships. By learning to connect to yourself, you can then connect to other people in a true and meaningful way. With Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a research-supported couples treatment, and Internal Family Systems Therapy(IFS), a research-supported individual treatment, we will learn to understand the heart of internal and external messages, freeing you to live a connected and peaceful life.

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.

Do you worry excessively? Have panic attacks; difficulty sleeping; specific phobias; stomach aches? Do you have relationship challenges? WE CAN HELP!

I am a fully licensed psychologist,, clinician, and international trainer of health care professionals.

As a clinical psychotherapist, my aim is to provide services to my clients which include: helping them identify, understand and achieve their life goals, alleviate their psychological suffering, and help promote positive self-worth, self-esteem and autonomy in a safe and confidential environment.

You want to feel happy as you did in the past. As adults we wished that someone would have warned us about the many trials that we would face in life. Trying to balance being a single mother, navigating motherhood, caring for an aging parent, children with disabilities, and having strained family relationships are causing you to feel like you are in a rut. You might feel helpless at times about feeling at peace again. But you are seeking therapy because there is some hope that positive change can happen in your life? What are you willing to put into practice to create change in your life?

​I believe that no two paths are the same. Everyone has a unique path that makes them who they are. This path may lead to a planned destination, make an unexpected turn, or hit a few bumps along the way. Change can be hard and heightened feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression can make that change feel much more difficult and lonely. Instead of allowing these changes in our path to hold us back, we should accept and embrace these changes to continue along our journey. This mindset helps us to cope with the ups and downs of life. Everyone has their own path, however, that doesn't mean they have to be on their path alone.

Are you tired of listening to your inner self-critic, second guessing yourself, and putting others’ needs before your own? Are past relationships and experiences still impacting the way you view yourself and interact with others? Are you ready to replace the unhealthy beliefs and patterns in your life with ones that better serve you? You are capable of processing your past so that it no longer limits you, redefining your relationships, and moving through life more confidently. It’s time for change, it’s time for a more balanced life, it’s time to prioritize you!
