Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 48083

Do you ever feel wrenched by painful memories? Feel you can't find an “off” switch for the persistent thoughts inside your head? Even question your own sanity at times? Or maybe you just feel numb, disconnected. These are not uncommon feelings for grieving people or those who have suffered traumatic experiences. Friends or family may give messages that you should 'just get over it', but some wounds cannot 'just' be forgotten or buried. They require more intentional work.

I believe as one becomes more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, they are better able to focus and honor their own individuality. To meet your unique needs we will explore personal influences and create new methods to address life and relationship dilemmas. My work involves exploring your personal strengths, resiliencies, and ambivalence about change while applying multiple strategies to achieve your goals. This may include an integrated counseling approach of cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, family systems, and reality therapies. Currently, I'm currently accepting new clients and I work with all ages.

Taking the first steps towards seeking therapy can be a very difficult decision. Acknowledging there is something about you or your life that you would like to change or improve can be scary. No matter what the reason is, I would be honored to assist you in the journey towards lifelong change. I will provide a safe, supportive space for you, your child or your family to work towards reaching goals for growth and improvement. While working with me, you will be in a safe and supportive space that is judgement free. I belief that through hard work and motivation any family and/or individual can make the changes they strive for.

I work with adults, adolescents and couples, all diagnoses, to help you express and understand yourself in a deeper way than ever before. With this understanding comes self-knowledge, self-acceptance, self-control and self-healing.

The quality of our life often feels determined by events and relationships that are beyond our control. Finding hope and meaning in life in those circumstances can feel unattainable. Each of us has strengths and abilities for change, but experience difficulty tapping in to those resources. A good therapist can help with that. There is no shame in acknowledging that we want more from our life. Whether you want support in your relationships, find yourself experiencing anxiety or depression, or need help navigating difficult circumstances, I am here to help.

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!

At Crossroads Psychological Center, I'm here to help guide you as you continue your journey, providing you with the most current and effective treatments for a wide variety of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I have been specializing in treating anxiety disorders and OCD for over 20 years in adults and adolescents with individual and/or family/couple sessions. Because I specialize in anxiety disorders, clients frequently report much better progress than they have experienced with prior therapists who didn't specialize in anxiety but treated anxiety in a generalized manner along with many other issues. I specialize in use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Insight Therapy and Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP). I have an audio program "Anxiety to Serenity" available on my website - either 4 CD's or as a download.

Everyone has times in their lives when stress seems overwhelming, when ways that we use to cope just aren't working anymore, or are even making the situation worse. Even more so coming out of a pandemic. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself or isolating and want to change. Counseling can help you to move forward at times when you feel stuck, can help you to develop new coping skills and tools to manage life's challenges, and rediscover the strength inside you. I provide an accepting, non-judgmental, confidential environment, and a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings with a caring, compassionate listener.

I have found that people tend to seek therapy when they are experiencing some kind of stressful situation in their life. You may have found that you keep repeating bad patterns or that you feel stuck in your relationships or your job and you don't know what to do to get unstuck. We all need to find someone we can feel safe sharing our deepest concerns with and we want to feel understood. Whether the work is brief, or more long-term, I am passionate about helping you to develop behavior changes that will lead to healing and eventually to you fulfilling your potential.

Life events can put us in difficult positions that take away our ability to enjoy the moment. I help people learn how to respond in positive and productive ways. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship, work, social, health and school issues, as well as many other life events. Let me help you learn how to enjoy your life again even in the most uncertain times. I am offering sessions to be online or in person based on your preference.

I am very passionate about the work I do and believe that when placing yourself in a vulnerable position you want to know that you will experience feelings of felt safety. Together, we explore parts of the self that have successfully protected you, while also blocking you from reaching your full potential. Sometimes those very parts that limit us, decide to show up in the most inconvenient and untimely manner, reflecting back what you aren't necessarily ready to see. I work with you to help make sense of your internal blocks and struggles with intention.

I want to help you get unstuck and change your life. Your growth begins by learning coping skills to change your behavior and gain confidence in yourself. Then, as you and I gain insight into your mindsets and values, sustainable and meaningful healing happens. My approach in therapy is nonjudgmental and empathetic, and one of my strengths is empowering you to be vulnerable while maintaining a lighthearted atmosphere.

You are finally ready to make a change. Maybe a life adjustment has blindsided you, or you are ready to drop the burden of long held hurtful beliefs about yourself or habits that limit you. At Your Best Self Counseling I recognize the courage it takes to address the challenges you are facing and am excited to use my experience to help you live the life you have always wanted.

It can be challenging to start therapy and share your experiences with someone you don’t know. While the process in therapy is sometimes difficult, it can help us to learn more about ourselves and become aware of our behaviors and core values. My approach in therapy is to provide a safe enviroment so you can be yourself, learn more about who you are and become aware of what interrupts your connection with your enviroment, values, or the way you like to live your life.

También hablo Español! I work with adults who need to heal, let go of past traumas, and shed maladaptive coping mechanisms that came as a result of survival instinct to develop healthy skills to flourish in life. I focus on issues of anxiety, trauma, identity, & interpersonal relationships. I believe our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual selves influence one another to create our personal experience. Thus I integrate cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and humanistic therapy, while focusing on each client's strengths to create a custom treatment plan.

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 have ten+ years experience providing counseling to adults and children. This includes counseling victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence and working with adult and juvenile sex offenders. It is my mission to provide effective counseling that is authentic, empathetic and non-judgmental. As a therapist I am focused on addressing the impact of primary an secondary trauma in communities, so that those in need of support know that they are not alone!
