Therapists in Coleman, MI

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.

Hi, I am Erin McDaid. I have been working for over eight years as a clinical therapist with adults, older adults, and older adolescents. I use a goal-oriented therapy style, focusing on areas of strength or need that are determined by the client. My style is no-nonsense and direct. I use a wide variety of skills and techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing. I often assign homework for clients to complete between therapy sessions (however, I try not to make it complex or overwhelming). I do not believe in stereotyping, labeling, or stigmatizing people. I welcome working with people of all faiths, genders, sexual orientations, political affiliations, and ethnicities. At an initial interview clients should expect to discuss with me their background (how they grew up, what they have done since high school, any relationship status), their current symptoms, any drug or alcohol use or history, any legal history, and their hopes for what they will get from therapy. During this discussion I will work to clarify any questions that occur to me and to reassure the client that both the client and I are understanding the client’s needs and history. We will also discuss what the specific issues are that brought you to therapy. Be ready to be open and forthcoming. Clients may leave their initial session with a simple homework assignment that will begin to move them forward with their treatment.

I have about a decade of experience in the field of mental health. I have worked for non profit agencies such as well known drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, as well as government funded community mental health clinical settings. I have taught groups in residential facilities including anger management, opioids, cognitive behavioral therapy, family dynamics , 12 steps, and many others. I am a licensed master social worker , but I fancy myself a psychologist at heart. This unites the best of the two disciplines as social work focuses on fair and ethical treatment for all humanity, while psychology emphasizes behavioral , psych- analytic skills. Both of which I confidently uphold, and define my career path by. I am well versed in treating substance use disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, major depression, bipolar disorders, borderline personality, as well as children's disorders and a myriad of other diagnoses as well.

I am licensed in Michigan with 9 years of professional work experience. I earned my master’s degree in transpersonal psychology with an emphasis in art therapy from Naropa University. I also have a master’s degree in fine art. My previous experience as a therapist includes developing and delivering art therapy programs for nonprofits, and working with older adults suffering from depression and other mental health concerns. I have been a therapist in nursing homes and Hospice settings. In addition, I am also trained in Family Constellation work and am comfortable talking with clients about spirituality and spiritually transformative experiences. My focus is on supporting individuals through art therapy, expressive arts, and dreamwork. No previous experience or expertise is needed in art to do creative therapies. My approach also draws influences from Mindfulness, Person Centered Therapy, Jungian, and Acceptance and Commitment modalities. I feel that connecting with what is most meaningful to you, responding to guidance from the unconscious, and listening to the messages and urging from your deep inner self leads to transformation and healing.
