Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Michigan

BILINGUAL - My cultural background has been a major inspiration in my efforts to guide and empower ethnically diverse people through effective counseling by offering services in both English and Spanish. My comprehensive approach to mental health seeks to deliver holistic, individualized guidance based on the needs of my clients through the implementation of various therapies best suited for their lifestyles: group, individual, interpersonal, family therapy, and more.

I empower individuals, couples and families to overcome personal obstacles. Building cohesiveness and structure to move forward in relationships and in life. My experience in Corporate America gives me the edge to work with individuals who want to improve their careers or just need to get that next promotion. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Bipolar, Personality Disorders and OTHER mental health concerns. Adolescents and children who struggle with bullies or just find school as difficult. I also work with adolescents and adults with substance abuse concerns, addiction, and I also perform crisis intervention.

We all go through various challenges in life, and some may be easier to navigate alone than others. Just like going to a doctor to maintain your physical health, meeting with a counselor can be a vital part of maintaining your mental health. Therapy can provide you with the tools necessary for working through challenges in your life. As well as improving your overall wellness, counseling can also help you with developing a better understanding of yourself. Throughout the counseling process, you can develop skills for improving your relationships, coping with life stressors, and emotional pressures.

Therapy isn't just about talking. It's providing a safe place. Anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationship, divorce, trauma, grief and loss, throw off our balance. As a Master Level Psychologist with over 30 years of experience I walk alongside people just like you who are looking for a way to find balance. Building a trusting relationship is the first step toward that path and achieving your goals. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment to explore your story. This is therapy on your terms, to live authentically, and to achieve a healthy balance.

Immediate openings! Sometimes we get caught up in the messiness of life and forget to enjoy it. I get it, life can be stressful! All of our feelings are normal, but sometimes we feel them more intense and they might even make our day to day lives extra challenging (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low motivation, trauma… sound familiar?) You are deserving of a life you enjoy living and I am here to help you get back to your best, authentic self.

Therapy is a very personal journey and wherever you find yourself right now is where you are supposed to be. Life can bring challenges. Whether you seek help in the treatment of anxiety, depression, overthinking, grief and loss, infertility, general dissatisfaction, or to heal from past traumas, we can find a treatment approach for you.

Have you ever felt misunderstood or alone? Do you notice that your anxiety, depression, and emotions are getting the best of you? Perhaps stress and emotions get so overwhelming that you are unable to control them or know how to get help. Maybe you want to work on improving your interpersonal relationships, or figuring out where you want to go with your life.

In order for one to heal one must release what they’re suppressing. Together we will work on effective positive coping skills to address the root cause to any difficulties you may struggle with, to get back to “a healed and healthy version of you”. My goal as your therapist is to provide guidance that will help you navigate through the challenges that life brings. We will work together to achieve your mental health balance and wellness goals. I aim to break barriers and obstacles that are associated with the mental health stigma.

I enjoy working with young children, teens, young adults & families. Many of my clients have struggled with issues like anxiety, depression, self injury, social skills, parenting, adoption, & adjusting to new situations. Parents/caregivers are welcome to join sessions if they desire (as clinically appropriate) as a way to learn skills along with their child/family. This helps support the skills learned within sessions & outside of sessions, when at home & in the community. This empowers the client & family & helps everyone feel like they are mastering the skills learned in sessions. I am supervised by a licensed PHD.

If you are an adult feeling particularly burdened by anxiety, depression, past abuse and trauma, unwanted behaviors, condemning or distressing thoughts, issues of worth, relationship issues, etc., I, with the help of God’s Word, desire to help you find freedom.

I am able to provide supportive, effective therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with a variety of issues, including trauma, substance abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

Life is complicated. Let's figure it out. Most of Peter’s clients start with a problem that sounds like “I just don’t understand why.... ”.

Peter employs a variety of evidence-based practices to help his clients get clarity and start moving forward again.

Hi there! I specialize in working with folks who are experiencing behaviors and emotions that are difficult to understand. Together, we can explore what those thoughts and feelings are, how best to understand them, learn about treatment approaches, and set goals. I enjoy helping to build a support network that has your best interest at heart, and allows you to share your experience with those supports in a way that gives you choice and dignity. LGBTQAI+ affirming and compassionate care is the standard here, as is support around accessing reproductive healthcare.

Whatever the reason you are seeking help, you have already completed the most difficult step, seeking help. Life comes at us fast and sometimes we need help to navigate all of the obstacles that life throws at us. If you are working to navigate through a difficult time, we can work together to set goals, realize and regain your strengths, and develop/renew a long-term plan for success. There are times when everyone needs some help living life on life's terms. Trying to view obstacles from a different perspective can not only be refreshing but can let us see a more clear view of what amazing potentials we can unlock within ourselves.

Sometimes we experience things in life that change us, change how we feel and how we view the world and we have no idea how to cope with those changes. Maybe you're trying to get back to "you," or maybe you're trying to reinvent yourself. Whatever the reason that brought you here, making the decision to begin healing and improve your mental health is a big step. As your therapist, I don't take the responsibility of helping you on this journey lightly.
