Therapists in Michigan

I am a social worker with over 30 years of experience. My undergraduate degree is in Business and Psychology, and I have a master's degree in social work. My primary area of focus is working with couples and trying to help them heal their relationship. Through our work together we can hope to heal communication challenges and figure out how to build, or rebuild a healthy relationship. In addition...if a couple decides to end their relationship, together we can do this in a kind and compassionate way. My approach to helping people is eclectic...which means I tailor the treatment to the needs of my clients. I have been trained to listen attentively and to understand what is being presented by people I am working with. I believe in the tenants of social work which stress confidentiality and treatment without judgment. My experience is that not every therapist is a good fit for every client but the right fit can be life changing. I believe therapy is a gift someone gives to them self and it is an act of courage to understand that you need help and are willing to seek it. I look forward to helping you achieve your personal goals and help you have the peace of mind you seek.

Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio. I have been a practicing therapist for over 9 years. I received my master’s from Central Michigan University and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan. I use an eclectic approach, which means that I tailor my approach to each individual client to make sure I always meet each person where they are. My non-judgmental style helps clients reach goals, while feeling empowered and capable to continuing to utilize skills learned during therapy long after counseling is done. I encourage all individuals to set the pace of counseling, determine what their goals are and change them as they see fit. I look forward to supporting and empower you along your journey towards your goals. At this time, I provide services for, individuals, adolescent's, and LGBTQIA, to help them work through life issues that may have hindered their quality of life. Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you!.

I am a fully licensed clinical social worker with a Masters Degree in Social Work from Michigan State University. I have over 15 years clinical experience in a wide range of settings and with diverse clientele. I work with adults from all backgrounds. Common presenting problems include depression, anxiety, guilt, grief, relationship conflict, and communication barriers. I have extensive experience working with clients facing loss, grief, and life transitions (including clients who are dealing with family members with dementia and aging issues). Finding a therapist and forming a meaningful connection is the first step in your journey toward improving your situation. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can discuss any of life's problems - an environment in which we can work together to assist you in building insight, developing coping strategies, and expressing feelings. My counseling style is relaxed and collaborative. I use a variety of trusted, research based therapy techniques to help you identify problem areas, set expectations, and work toward positive change. Learning to re-frame or perceive problems in a different way can change distorted thoughts and build skills to help you learn how to process problems in healthier ways. I also believe that sometimes people just need to talk for a while - I am a patient listener and my approach allows you, the client, to start wherever you need to start. I am here to help you navigate through the challenges you are facing. I encourage you to be open to the various ways of connecting on this platform and learn which method is most beneficial for you. I look forward to working with you and helping guide you in a positive direction.

Hello, my name is Karen Kavaloski and I am a LPC in New Mexico, North Carolina and in Missouri. I was originally licensed as a counselor in 2009 while working in Arizona by the State of North Carolina after making a career change from a almost 30 year history in nursing. My passion since I was a young adult was counseling and it took me almost 30 years to achieve my goal of becoming a counselor. I was a Marine wife for almost 30 years and have traveled allot, I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My youngest, a son, and one of my grandchildren are severely autistic so I can identify with the stress and struggles some families have with managing special needs within their family. I am also a cancer survivor. I believe we all have an ability to heal the body, mind and soul and I consciously strive daily to be an active participant in my life and support and encourage others to do the same. My education beyond my nursing and counseling includes a Masters in Business Administration and a Doctorate in (Christian) Ministries. I have worked primarily over this past 17 years with trauma and substance abuse in the adult population with about 3 years working with the teenage population in these areas. I also have worked about 5 years total with prison reentry and counseling individuals and families with histories of incarceration in state and federal prison. I believe in working with individuals and families to achieve their highest goals. I believe the client is the expert in his/her own life and I fully encourage one to strive to work towards building a strong foundation within themselves and their families whatever that looks like to them, to that end I use focused solution therapy, internal systems therapy, mindfulness/compassion therapy, cognitive and cognitive behavioral, dialectical therapy, emotional freedom techniques and/or neurolinguistic techniques . I am also the author and publisher self help books under my Sacred Self Workbook Series Outside my therapy practice, I spend my leisure time reading. meditation/praying and gardening.

Hello, I’m Ben, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience. Although I have been trained in a significant variety of counseling techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, you’re likely not here to hear about therapy techniques. What you want to know is this: Can I help you live a better life? My answer is yes. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and create a path toward a future filled with hope and purpose.

My solid Christian foundation supports my belief that hope is key to overcoming life’s hardest challenges both in the physical and spiritual realms.

Hello, My Name is Kiley, I’m a licensed master social worker. I’ve worked at a local community mental health for almost 9 years now. During my time I’ve played many roles within the agency including providing therapy. I have experience with a gambit of diagnosis including depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disabilities. While obtaining my MSW I also interned with a substance abuse clinic and provided individual and group therapy to those struggling substance use disorders. I tend to lean towards CBT as my mainly modality, however is it’s not my sole modality used. I’ve also found behavior and what drives it interesting, hence my interest in CBT and how to alter the behaviors through altering thought process. I spent a period of time providing behavioral plans to individuals with problematic behaviors and utilized CBT as well as behavior analyst frequently in that role. I strive to make therapy as comfortable as possible for everyone and providing a judgement free zone. Usually when you turn to therapy you’re already anxious, the idea of spilling your thoughts to a stranger are not easy, so I try to reduce those anxieties as much as possible. Some personal information about it is that I enjoy spending time with my family and pets. I’m a huge animal person, we have 4 dogs, 3 cats, countless chickens, geese, and ducks, as well as 2 emu. Both my husband and one of my daughters have a diagnosis of ADHD, so I have lived experience in finding ways to help them manage their struggles with this as well as learning how to adapt to meet their needs as well. I also struggle with social anxiety at times, so I can relate to those that face that as well.

I know that therapy is a major investment of time, energy, and sometimes, finances, and that taking the step to start therapy can feel both hopeful and overwhelming. You might be navigating a difficult transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply ready to invest in your own well-being. Whatever brings you to me, I work to make sure you know that this space is one of non-judgmental acceptance and deep empathy. I specialize in helping with relationships, anxiety, stress, sex and intimacy. I also offer Christian counseling and have a heart for those who have experienced hurt or rejection from faith communities. I utilize an eclectic, integrated approach to tailor therapy for each client's unique needs. Drawing from various proven modalities like CBT, ACT, and person-centered techniques, I create a flexible, evidence-based roadmap. This ensures clients get the most effective tools for their specific challenges, promoting lasting growth and well-being. A core focus of my practice is couples therapy and pre-marital counseling. I'm passionate about helping couples build stronger connections. Leveraging my Gottman Method Level 2 training, I work with partners at any stage—whether you're facing significant struggles or simply looking for supportive guidance. I also offer specialized pre-marital therapy, with most of my clients experiencing positive improvements and increased confidence in their relationship within the first month. I focus on equipping clients with concrete, easily applicable tools that can be used every day to create greater personal clarity and healthier, more fulfilling relationships. In addition to therapy services, I also offer life skills and counseling workshop facilitation, personal development coaching, and I'm available for speaking engagements.
