ADHD Therapists in Bay County, MI

I see a primary goal of psychotherapy as providing the individual with a sense of empowerment: the belief that you are able to control your own thoughts and actions and through that interact more effectively in social, personal, and occupational arenas. Therapy begins with establing a supportive therapeutic relationship, in which one feels accepted and validated. The specific methods I use vary depending on the nature of the problem and the needs of the client.

I have experience working with individuals with ADHD, anger issues, anxiety, depression or autism spectrum disorders. I am fully trained to work with adults, children, and adolescents. I am trained to evaluate individuals for ADHD. I have also worked extensively with individuals struggling with severe mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

One of the most important tools for successful therapy is the relationship between clinician and client. I believe in creating a judgment free atmosphere through empathetic listening skills and positive regard for the client. I utilize an eclectic combination of Person Centered, Strengths Based, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Reflective Listening, Emotional Processing, and EMDR to work with individuals from childhood to retirement in addressing issues with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, gender dysphoria, LGBTQIA+, trauma, grief, self-esteem, self-harm, and substance use/addiction.

I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples on a variety of issues. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy where we work on identifying problems and the underlying issues. A treatment plan is developed for each client where we set goals and develop strategies to accomplish the goals. I strive to reduce symptoms, improve coping skills, increase awareness, and increase the client's feeling of control over his or her own life situation.

I have an extensive history with youth programing and clinical practice with youth. I've spent the last few years working with adults, families, and children who have severe emotional disturbances. I currently work with youth who are adjudicated as well as youth who just might be going through your typical transitions. I have years of crisis experience with adults and youth. One couldn't work with young people without working alongside their parents or guardians also. Therefore, my ideal client is any adult, youth, or teen who is transitioning through life or any person who may be trying to figure some things out along their path.

A Healthier Mind, Healthier You! I have over 16 years of experience as an outpatient, home-based, and contractual therapist at a group practice, working with all age groups. If you are an adolescent, adult, or couple experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or other mental health experiences, know that I am here to help provide a safe and comfortable environment for you that allows you to process and explore the most difficult situations within your life. I am currently accepting adolescents (age 13+), adults, and couples.

As a therapist over the last 5 years, I have learned that connection, safety, and trust are the most important ingredients that can determine positive outcomes for trauma treatment. I have experience with neurodivergent individuals with a wide array of trauma wounds. These wounds create a powerful story about why these distressing events happened to us. When these wounds are left unattended, or avoided, over time, we may develop very complex chapters of this story. This can make it very hard to separate who we really are from the distorted perception trauma creates. These events can cause us to disconnect and lose ourselves.

If you do not get a response please resend your email or call leaving a detailed message.

Whether it is dealing with past hurts or coming to terms with a present circumstance, I can offer a supportive, whole person approach through various therapeutic modalities.

I provide individual therapy focused on the treatment of emotional and mental health challenges experienced by adults, adolescents, and children.
