*If you are struggling with something or want to explore something that is not on this list—I may still want to work with you! I have a lot of clients with issues that are not listed above but we still do great work together. This list is more of what I consider my areas of specialties.

I tend to not work with clients with more severe substance use issues, unmanaged bi-polar, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. This therapy is better suited for folx that are not in active crisis(i.e. active homelessness, active domestic violence, active suicidal ideations). The reason for this is because I am one person alone in private practice and these issues are better treated by a agency that specializes in these unique types of issues and has a team of people to support the client.

*Therapy at Somatic Psychotherapy Michigan will not be a good fit for you if you do not want to do somatic therapy or Internal Family Systems/parts work—I weave these two modalities into all the work I do. To learn more about somatic and IFS work check out my blog.
