Our Philosophy and Practice

We follow a philosophy of Acceptance. When it comes to mental health, there is no room for judgement, and no room for condescension or shame. We accept you--who you are and where you are at--with open arms. 

You're experiencing panic attacks? Let's go deeper and find out why.  

You have a fear of being abandoned and yet you keep sabotaging your relationships? Again, let's dig deeper and find out why.

A client recently stated, "I told my friend that we work so well together on everything, that I feel more like a colleague than a patient. We figure things out together."

Yes! It's like we place a proverbial Rubic's cube on the table, and we work together to solve the puzzle. This is how mental health therapy should work. Not a dictatorship. And not a one size fits all approach.

We believe a good therapist must be eclectic; that is, he or she must be well-versed and proficient in an entire arsenal of therapeutic techniques and philosophies. Among those, our "must" list includes a Psychodynamic perspective, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), TA (Transactional Analysis), Psychoanalysis, Rogerian and Gestalt Humanism, PE Therapy, EMDR, Reality Therapy, Behaviorism, REBT, Hypnotherapy, and inner-child healing.
All in all, this is a very tall order! But we are striving to provide the best and most effective Therapists in Michigan.
