Michael McWhirter
As a seasoned therapist working well over thirty years helping a diversified population from school age children their families to working with mentally-ill patients and providing substance abuse treatment to individuals and group therapy providing these services as career is very full feeling. Those whom are in need of getting their life back together is always a challenge and can be very stressful. So therefore, the approach to counseling requires different methods to the person needs depending on what is going on in their lives. Working with individuals does require different approaches such as cognitive/supportive/confrontational therapy to reach their ability to function well. It's always hard to ask for Help and open up to someone whom you do not know but the benefits can be very rewarding. If I can be of professional assistance to you please reach out and we can work together on these changes.

I have been a licensed professional counselor in Michigan for over 20 years. I have worked with clients on a range of concerns including self-fulfillment, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting problems. My therapy style is both patient and action oriented, both accepting and explorative. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe it is important to normalize behavior and provide alternative perspectives. I tactfully infuse humor when possible and therapeutically effective. My approach combines the patience and empathy of client centered therapy when you need a sounding board with the results oriented approach of cognitive-behavioral or solution-focused therapy when you are seeking a change in your life. We will work together to establish expectations and a treatment plan to meet your individual therapeutic needs. If you stand too far away from a large painting, you cannot appreciate the individual brushstrokes that brought it to life. Yet if you stand too close, you cannot appreciate the image in its entirety. It can be very difficult to recognize the limits of our own perspective. Having someone on your side to focus or broaden that perspective as needed can be tremendously helpful. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to listen and learn with you.
