My name is Karen Riffer-Reinert and a am a Licensed Master's Social Worker, Clinical and Macro License in the state of Michigan. I earned my MSW from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois in 1983. My approach to therapy is client centered and I specialize in working with individuals who experience anxiety and depression. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which includes understanding how our thoughts, feelings, and behavior effect our situations. I also have many years of experience in grief and bereavement counseling. Over the years, I have learned that the connection between the individual and the therapist is primary in a therapeutic relationship. I am non judgmental and accepting in nature and hope we can work together.
