Therapists in Rochester, MI

***Attention I do not take HAP. The insurance listed is incorrect. I am not able to take HAP insurance.******** I am open to working with LGBTQIA+ clients. Since we live in a heteronormative homophobic, transphobic society I feel it is absolutely essential to fight such oppression intentionally and persistently. My hope is to offer LGBTQIA+ clients support, love, compassion and a place of healing and peace where they can find liberation and truly express the fabulous individual they are. I also have extensive experience working with rape crisis, domestic violence, and sexual assault survivors.

Do you want more out of life? Do you have hopes and dreams that seem unattainable? You have come to the right place. Many people spend their lives wishing for more, but fear change. If you are ready to make positive changes in your life, contact me, lets get started. I look forward to meeting you. Openings for new clients: Tues & Fri 9-5pm only.

My passion derives from the positive changes I see in clients as they grow and move forward. I aim to help clients by approaching their areas of concern in a holistic manner, taking all aspects of their circumstances into consideration. I offer an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors while finding ways to create positive change. Each client's situation is unique, and should be treated as such.

Are you seeking nonjudgmental support and a resource to help you through a difficult chapter in your life? Maybe you have come to a crossroad professionally, relationally, personally. You are not alone; I can help. I am devoted to empowering people and helping them to overcome what holds them back by unleashing their strengths. A trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to share your concerns is at the heart of what fosters personal insight leading to strategies for overcoming challenges and obstacles. Developing this strong rapport provides the foundation from which you begin your work toward making positive change.

Life provides many challenges; challenges that are sometimes hard to face and that may seem impossible to overcome. I provide a safe, nonjudgemental atmosphere where clients can explore the challenges they face and partner with them as they seek positive change in their lives.

Counseling should be comfortable, with someone you can relate to. There will be times when things are discussed that are not easy. But people should have trust in their therapist without feeling judged

We are all on a journey towards improved health and wholeness, but the road to healing can often be difficult to navigate. Life challenges can result in feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, and loss of control. Often times we might experience physical symptoms as a result of ongoing stress as well. These same struggles, however, can be opportunities for growth. Our counseling professionals will walk with you on your journey of self-discovery, and together we will uncover your unique strengths, develop coping skills, increase self-confidence, and work toward restoring balance in your life.

When your relationship is hurting you hurt. When you are hurting it affects your relationship. You and your partner argue – you feel every conversation turns into a fight and that you’ve lost the ability to communicate with each other. You’re not sure where things went wrong but you and your partner aren’t like you used to be. You don’t feel connected. You’re missing the passion, the affection, the intimacy and the love. You’ve grown apart. You’re in a relationship yet you feel in some ways that you’re alone. You keep asking yourself – How did we get here? How did this happen? Your relationship is in trouble and you need help now!

I work with individuals, families and couples that struggle with a variety of issues (i.e. anxiety, depression, life transitions and various health conditions) providing services ranging from counseling to wellness coaching to group support and education. Areas of focus include emotional health and physical well-being, spiritual health and purpose. I integrate traditional counseling techniques with mind, body, and spirit elements to help clients better identify their strengths, desires, and tools of resilience for effectively navigating through life.

In todays climate it is not uncommon to have anxiety, depression, or even find yourself turning to substances that maybe you have not in the past. I recognize that not only adults, but our children are having to face mental health issues, that before may not have been on their radar. I recognize these mental health issues are on the rise and you just may need someone to talk to or process your world around you with all these stressors. I have worked in hospice for a decade, helping patients and families navigate the end of life process, as well as work with trauma patients from military experience and auto accidents.

Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. Everyone has a past and carries some form of baggage with them. The issues from the past that remain unresolved impact multiple areas of our lives from our personal contentment to our interpersonal relationships. Once a client understands the underlying cause of their anxiety, depression, hurt, fears, etc., they can come to a place of acceptance and move forward minimizing the impact these issues have on the present. Our goal is to help each client find healing in order to live fully and authentically in the present.

I have I have been in private practice for almost 30 years. I see clients ages five and up for individual, group, couples and family counseling. I specialize in substance abuse and my agency is licensed by the state of Michigan. I provide the full range of mental health counseling, substance abuse services, screening and assessments, DLAD evaluations, alcohol safety education courses and drug testing. I accept most insurances and provide a warm and safe counseling environment.

Whether you are struggling with conflicts in marriage, parenting, anxiety, depression or any of the other challenges that come from being in relationships, I am ready to help you work on solutions that work for you. You can experience hope in the midst of your struggle, and work towards a healthier approach in relationships. As a mother of two grown daughters and a wife of over 30 years, I have a heart for hurting couples and families. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and teens, and I have a passion to help couples find their way back to help and healing.

The word "kairos" comes the Greek word meaning, "the opportune and decisive moment for change." I will support you through the counseling process while you search for continued joy and wellness in your life. Child and adolescent services are available to focus in on difficult attitudes, home or school behavior problems, parental divorce or separation issues. Adult counseling is needed to help in difficult life transitions, which may cause anxiety or depression. Couple counseling is available to help develop the necessary communication skills to enhance the relationship. Couples may have reached an impass due to the developmental stages of marriage.

I believe clients are their own expert, and that with my guidance they can explore and challenge their own deeply imbedded inner core beliefs, and re-engineer them. Learning and speaking the client's language is tantamount to helping someone move forward towards a positive change. Clients begin to understand themselves better, and this allows the transition. I also believe that fear is one of the most debilitating emotions that we can have. It stops us dead in our tracks. We need to attack the fear, but first understand its roots. I like to be known as my client's "life coach!"

We are all unique, but the truth is, all of us face challenges and difficulties at different points in our lives. Some difficulties are painful and yet other difficulties seem more "chronic" and "just get in the way of us being the best we can be". Whatever the case is for you, my goal is to partner with you, listen to you, and work together to identify the best strategies and concrete tools for you, to get you where you want to be.

We are an outpatient mental health practice devoted to our work with those we serve. We utilize a collaborative approach that is strengths based, client centered, and rooted in our belief in the dignity and self-worth of others. Within this approach, clients are viewed as partners in their treatment and considered experts in their needs. We provide both in-person and telehealth services allowing us to further meet the diverse needs of the community.

I offer a gentle and self-compassionate approach to therapy which is largely tailored to help you meet your individual needs and goals. I use a combination of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), mindfulness, and emotional processing through person-centered therapy.
