Laurie Stricker
I completed my Master of Social Work degree in April of 1998 while working full-time . I had begun volunteering at a domestic violence shelter and was looking at methods for helping these at -risk families. My first job post Master's degree was working in the foster care system. That led me to a better understanding of child welfare, family dynamics, and the legal system. I then moved back to my hometown in northeast Michigan to work as an infant mental health specialist. This opportunity gave me more skill in working with trauma, family therapy, and being comfortable in the client's own home. My work at the local hospital's behavioral health services expanded my ability to provide individual psychotherapy to people of all ages and background. I also developed proficiancy in working with in-patient units for substance abuse and mental illness. during my employment there. My move to the VA was a wonderful journey and extremely educational. At this point in my life I feel that my knowledge, background, and skills has made me a well rounded therapist. I am comfortable utilizing different modalities with a variety of clients.

We are all humans with human experiences and challenges. Are you finding yourself sometimes feeling misunderstood by others and feeling like you have to wear a mask to hide who you really are? Having trouble getting along with others while feeling a deep sense of loneliness. Are you feeling life is against you and not going your way. Is your past traumas/unresolved issues creeping up and interfering with your present life. Are you sick of feeling sick and tired? If so, it sounds like it’s time to focus on your overall wellbeing. I have twenty plus years of experience counseling diverse individuals, families, and couples with life hardships and my goal is to guide you to live a healed authentic life. I will assist and challenge you with developing skills and the confidence you need to live the unapologetic life you desire by having non-judgmental genuine conversations about your fears and concerns. However, I will not coddle you because I believe that enables unhealed/unhealthy thinking and behaviors. Only want clients who are serious and committed to wanting therapy; not those who are just curious or unsure about starting therapy. Otherwise, the time is now, healing is possible.
