Find a Therapist in Lincoln Park, Michigan.

Many forms of therapy exist, some easily understood, for example, physical therapy, and some, more complex and misunderstood, such as psychotherapy. Physical therapy is understood as a therapist introducing bodily knowledge and new ways of positioning and strengthening the body through exercises and stretches, in order to ameliorate physical pain and distress. In truth, psychotherapy is not different, though instead of the material world of body, psychotherapy works with the abstract world of mind. I practice psychotherapy by introducing psychological knowledge and new ways of positioning and strengthening one's thoughts and feelings in order to ameliorate emotional pain and distress.

I use a variety of modalities inluding talk therapy, cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, journaling, etc. and work collaboratively with my clients to develop a treatment plan that facilitates you reaching the goals you want to reach.

I am an eclectic therapist, which means that I use techniques and theories from many different theories in my work. I believe in finding the right intervention that will resonate and make sense to you so that you are able to move forward towards your personal goals. You ought to be the focus of your therapy, not some theory. At the front of therapy with me is a person-centered approach in which I strive to make you comfortable so you feel safe sharing your thoughts and feelings. I then have many different approaches that I can bring in, mixing and matching to find what works best for you. You are a one-of-a-kind original, and your therapy should be too!

While counseling is helpful in some situations, psychotherapy is at times needed to make larger, more permanent changes. Psychotherapy digs into your life story, what you have gone through, what has affected you, and what has caused how you think of yourself and how you fit into the world. In our work together, you will learn forgiveness for yourself and others and how to reparent yourself in the areas you need in order to have a happier, fuller and more meaningful life.

Are you feeling unsure of yourself and the choices that you are making? Are you searching for clarity, peace, self-confidence, and improved coping skills? I can assist you in learning how to live a stress free life while clarifying your priorities, feelings, and achieving your life goals. Seeing a therapist is an important step that can support a process of bridging a gap between where you are and and where you want to be.

Many compare our emotions and/or history to an onion that needs to be peeled away layer by layer. There's some merit to that, and both involve tears at times. Fortunately, for people who delve in to gain a deeper understanding of how they've gotten to where they are, eventually the tears fade away and the new understanding and insights lead to a more satisfying life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Our approach to psychotherapy is to increase the individual's sense of his/her own well-being. We employ a range of techniques based on experiential relationship building, dialogue, communication and behavior change that are designed to improve the mental health of a client or patient, or to improve couple and family relationships. This is done through exploring feelings, motivation and conflicts to help the client improve conscious understanding. We also help the client to increase self esteem and move life and relationships in a positive direction.

We have several approaches to psychotherapy here at the center. We are humanistic in that there is not a cookie cutter approach in working with people. What works for some may not work for others. We tailor your work to your personality and your history. People often say they don't want to focus on the past because it is over and there is nothing that can be done about it. However, if you are recycling your past in the present and doing what we call, "returning to scene of the original crime" in the present, then you are already stuck in the past. Our work with you is to understand what you are recycling so that you can leave the past behind and stop it from interfering with your life.

Psychotherapy is just a fancy word for the process of healing that goes on in a Counseling office. When clients come to my office, I show hospitality and offer something to drink. We have soft music playing and just begin to talk about the areas of interest that have brought them in. From that first session, I determine what is wrong and what needs to happen in order to facilitate the change my clients are hoping for. As a matter of fact, I write out two goals for each client from what they've talked about, each with 3 or 4 objectives to reach those goals! I guide you and hold you accountable as needed until you reach these goals. Come on in and let me help you do the same!!!

We all face challenging transitions and changes in life.

You may want to understand yourself better, set personal goals or identify aspects of your life that you would like to change. My goal is to help you increase your level of wellness and improve your quality of life. Let's work together to create a plan for you to feel and function better.

I am truly honored to work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds and orientations. I am also proud to partner with underserved populations such as those in law enforcement, the military, faith based and LGBTQIA+ communities. I respect and honor you as the expert in your own life and will create a space that is safe, affirming, and authentic.

I am a psychotherapist who understands life can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. As a professional counselor, I compassionately listen and support clients as well as offer a therapeutic relationship that provides clients the opportunity to emotionally move forward and bring a healthy balance back into their lives. Psychotherapy empowers clients to gain healthy coping skills, experience self care and process new ways to work through personal difficulties. It is possible to heal, gain a sense of well-being, restore hope, and rekindle happiness even during the most challenging times.

I have been in practice for over 25 years helping people to change — to discover who they are inside, and stretch to fulfill more of their potential. I love helping my clients learn to live their own life and lifestyle, not someone else’s. By providing support as you untangle yourself within relationships, jobs, and a life that is no longer working, I can help you learn the skills needed to make positive changes.

I believe that psychotherapy should really be called "mental health education" and I consider myself a mental health educator. I assist my clients to understand how the human psychological system works and, like any system (e.g., electrical, computer), the better people understand it the more often they can use it in there best interest. Most people don't understand how their own psychological system works and that's why the research shows that by midlife (age 46) only 14% of adults experience good mental health. This would not be the case if people understood the way we all work psychologically and this is what I teach my clients.
