Psychotherapy is the practice of using psychology to address mental health issues (as opposed to physical, occupational, or speech therapy). Psychotherapy may be practiced by a variety of professionals such as psychologists, marriage and family counselors, licensed clinical social workers, and psychiatrists.

Of Vineyards and Canopies Therapy Services, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Available for Online Therapy
We offer thoughtful and engaging sessions to help treat your mental health concerns. We do so by building trust and providing evidence to support healthy, functional change, but we also do so by challenging your negative thought patterns. We ask if there is another way to think about the situation and provide skills and techniques for you to practice in session and on your own. Psychotherapy is a work in process.

Patients often describe their experience working with me as a journey characterized by compassion, understanding, and genuine connection. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard and valued. Patients have shared that our sessions feel like open conversations, free from judgment, where thoughts and emotions are explored with a sense of genuine curiosity. Many have expressed a profound sense of relief in being able to share their struggles openly, knowing that they are met with empathy and respect.

Some budgeting needed
While counseling can certainly be an expense for individuals and families in Pontiac, with proper budgeting, it is entirely do-able and the risk/reward is worth it. For some families, it may be difficult to sustain a commitment to therapy without proper insurance coverage. If this is you, ask your therapist about low cost options as practitoners in and around Pontiac may have flexibility or sliding scales. Low cost counseling and affordable therapy are also sometimes offered by listed city and university level clinics, check with your local Pontiac public health department.
