Family Therapy in Dorr, MI

I am a firm believer that we are not meant to do life alone. It is my hope that I can be one of the people in your life who can offer you the support you need to succeed. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, grieving the loss of a life or a relationship, dealing with family conflict, or navigating one of the many other life challenges we face as humans - my door is open to you.

Hi, I’m Nate Apel, LLPC, a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor, and I'm currently accepting new clients, so, for the time being anyway, there's no waiting to get in to see me. I specialize in working with children, youth, adults, families, and couples, and I look forward to helping you, and those in your care, achieve a greater sense of calm and wellbeing. I completed my Master’s in Counseling, and my Bachelors in Family Life Education from Spring Arbor University, and I bring 15 years of clinical and life experience working with youth, families and adults in schools, churches, and private practice.

Do you feel anxious, sad, or stressed out from trying to navigate life on your own? Do you feel misunderstood, disconnected from loved ones, or stuck in patterns you feel powerless to change? Are you questioning aspects of your identity, striving to find a purpose, or deconstructing from beliefs which cause you internal conflict? If so, you have come to the right place. I believe that no question is inappropriate to ask, no issue is too challenging to face, and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. My goal is to create a safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or shame.

I have developed specialized clinical skills through experiences working with individuals and families with early childhood to adolescent difficulties. I have helped families obtain better balance while struggling with distressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, social/peer issues, difficulty at school, behavior problems, ADHD, and developmental delays. I have competency in understanding youth and their families’ individualistic relational challenges with separation, divorce, and co-parenting. I help youth, and their families, in developing skills and tools to increase the likelihood of success.

Hi there! I am excited to hear your story and walk alongside you. In therapy, we will work to understand the feelings, behavior, and relationship patterns that exist in your life. I’ll guide you in how to address the areas of your life that no longer work well for you. Therapy sessions with me are relational and practical. As a relational therapist, I work to actively listen and accurately understand the emotions and underlying needs that drive each person’s choices and behaviors. As a practical therapist (and former teacher), I enjoy providing functional tools for how to effectively cope and thrive.

Reaching out for help to deal with the struggles of life can be scary. I applaud you for taking the first step by looking for a therapist who can work best with you. I am a licensed professional counselor who received a Master's degree from Western Michigan University in the area of Marriage, Couple and Family therapy. I currently provide mental health therapy in the outpatient setting and strive to give clients a safe space to heal and grow. I am passionate about helping others be the best they can be.

Today's society can be very overstimulating and can make it hard to focus on our inner experience of emotions. Sometimes we need an opportunity to slow down and process whether our feelings, thoughts and behaviors are helping or getting in the way of where we want to be as - as individuals and in relationship with others.

Clients have expressed that my positivity and humor, mixed with realism and accountability, are helpful in the therapy process. Together we will build an authentic connection, get to the core of recurring problems, and heal from life events. One of my favorite quotes is, “No one knows you better than yourself”. Even so, at times we struggle to heal and make changes on our own. Sometimes we need help evaluating our relationships and experiences from a new perspective.

I am a nationally certified and state licensed Christian counselor with a goal to serve with care and compassion while providing a safe place to grow.

I have specialized expertise in aging and end of life spiritual issues.

I am a child and family therapist, offering child and adolescent individual and family therapy.

The ideal person to meet with me is somebody who struggles with trauma and is struggling to overcome the wounds left by the trauma. People struggling with trauma can be people struggling with symptoms from PTSD or developmental traumas. PTSD typically includes people who have experienced or witnessed deadly events or sexual trauma. People with developmental trauma include people who did not experience an organized and loving attachment with their caregivers while they were growing up. In therapy, we work together to identify interventions that meet their specific needs.

Individuals seek therapy for many issues. I have been afforded the opportunity to work alongside people that want help in managing Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem barriers and daily stress. Often times these issues are masked by deep rooted trauma, grief and abuse. Individuals need encouragement, support, feeling that they are heard and validation while on their journey to healing.

I believe in order to make changes in our lives, we must first examine the impact that past relationships, experiences, and environments have had on us. The therapeutic process allows us to examine and process how things that have happened to us can impact who we are as individuals and integrate the past into who we are in the present. The therapeutic relationship can help us to identify sources of resilience and strength that can help us to overcome past negative experiences. By connecting our past with who we are in the present, we can start the process of change.

Accepting new clients! We all heal in different ways, and I value the importance of meeting a client where they are at in their healing journey, remaining patient every step of the way. Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal in a safe space, alongside someone who can guide and teach them along their journey. I am committed to ensuring my clients feel that their voices are heard while guiding them towards recognizing their full potentials.
