I am a fully licensed professional counselor in the state of Michigan. My experience has been predominantly with men and women struggling with substance abuse and addiction. I have tried many theoretical orientations over the years. Currently, however, I am pursuing certification in biblical Christian counseling, which draws exclusively from biblical information and principles. I have found that this is by far the most effective approach when an individual is looking to make authentic change. And believe me, I have looked! Thanks!
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Depression, Cancer, Drug and alcohol addiction, Eating and food-related issues, Family of origin issues, Forgiveness, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Traumatic brain injury, Women's issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ginger Drake. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
We've only known each other a short while.But in the time that we have spent during our 2 sessions, there was an immediate recognition of a sister in Christ and someone who gets life. It's impossible to get help from someone who sees your issues as when they don't see your issues as remarkable or important.

I scheduled a session with Ginger based on what she shared in her profile. It’s been an uplifting experience meeting with her. I have found her to ask great questions that really help me to think through my challenges. She is knowledgeable and experienced. I feel understood, seen and hopeful. I’m so glad I found her here on BetterHelp.
