I have been successfully coaching and counseling people in my private practice since 1990. Typically, my clients are looking to overcome obstacles to their optimum happiness and fulfillment. Many clients are working through unfinished business from their past experience, while many are more recently blocked or stuck in self defeating habits or behaviors. Together, clients and I draw upon a variety of understandings and tools from Western social psychological knowledge and Eastern traditions and philosophies.

As a licensed professional counselor and addictions counselor, I am able to address both mental health and addiction issues in a comprehensive manner. I also am able to offer EMDR for the relief of pain due to trauma. I incorporate mind, body and spirit into the work with clients to assist in the healing of all aspects of the individual. I respect that initiating therapy is a difficult step to take. Sharing the personal details of your life with someone you just meet, can be overwhelming and feelings of uncertaining may be present. I offer a free initial 1/2 hour consultation. This allows clients to meet me and see if I am a good for them. Finding the right therapist should not be an expensive venture. I am compassionate and understanding, I am not here to judge, I am here to help. I can utilize my training in family and play therapy to enhance the process for both children and adults. Each client is unique and requires a individualized approach and plan to best suite their spicific needs. My goal is to have each and every client leave with a sense of relief and satisfaction. .

My practice is multi-generational. I work with clients as young as 11 years of age up to over 100. I have two office sites, Farmington Hills, MI and Livonia, MI. I also do consulting work at a variety of nursing homes throughout the metro area. Currently I am seeing patients via tele-health during the COVID-19 crisis. I have seen a 4 yr old and a 104 year old patient in the same day. I use an eclectic therapy mode where I choose to use the therapeutic techniques that will work best for not only your psychological condition, but also matched to your personality style to ensure the fastest and most long-standing positive outcome.

As a psychotherapist who practices from a Transpersonal perspective, I provide therapy for the WHOLE individual. Unlike traditional therapeutic structure, which only considers the Emotional and Intellectual components of the individual, I also focus on the Physical and Spiritual facets of Self. I work with all ages, from small children through geriatric seniors. My specialties include Eating Disorders, Depression, Anger Management, Anxiety and Substance Abuse. I provide therapy to individuals, couples and groups and especially enjoy working with children and adolescents.

I offer an alternative to traditional in-office therapy through secure, HIPAA compliant video sessions on doxy.me. My practice is rooted in accessibility, compassion, and integration, making therapy available to anyone seeking growth, healing, or clarity no matter where they are. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the complex emotional patterns that shape our lives. As an Integrative Therapist, I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and humanistic frameworks. This allows me to tailor each session to the unique personality, needs, and goals of the individual. Rather than adhering to a single model, I help clients uncover what truly works for them, whether it’s developing insight into the past, learning new coping skills, or cultivating emotional regulation in the present moment. My approach emphasizes authenticity and collaboration. I believe that therapy should be a safe and supportive partnership where you can explore your story without judgment. Many clients come to therapy feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. Together, we work to transform those feelings into understanding and action. You will find that our sessions balance structure with flexibility, allowing space for both emotional depth and practical problem solving. Online therapy offers the utmost convenience, privacy, and comfort. Sessions can be scheduled at times that fit your lifestyle, removing the obstacles of travel, traffic, and scheduling conflicts. Many clients appreciate the ability to connect from their own home or private space, where they often feel more relaxed and open to self-reflection. For individuals who are apprehensive about visiting a therapist’s office, telehealth creates a sense of safety and ease that encourages engagement and progress. Confidentiality is central to my practice. doxy.me is fully encrypted, secure, and compliant with all federal privacy standards. You can trust that your personal information and session content remain completely private. Therapy is an investment in your well-being and your future. Whether you are seeking relief from stress or anxiety, working through depression or trauma, improving your relationships, or simply striving for greater emotional balance, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where real change can occur. My goal is to help you develop resilience, insight, and tools that will continue to support you long after therapy ends. If you are ready to begin, reach out to schedule a session. Together, we can create a path toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

I am a male psychotherapist with 37 years experience in a diverse practice utilizing conventional counseling, body work, meditation / spiritual direction, trauma work and life coaching. A high percentage of my practice is men; I run groups for high functioning men who are seeking to be more effective in their relationships with their families, women and other men, as well as well as in deepening their connection to their own inner lives. I also have female clients who are working on their relationship to themselves and their partners (male and female). I am trained in Gestalt, body-centered psychotherapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and men's work, as well as main-stream psychotherapy techniques.

I’m a licensed psychoanalyst and psychotherapist offering in-person and virtual sessions for individuals and couples. My goal is to help you better understand your challenges and draw on your strengths, abilities, and inner resources. As we work together, you’ll have my full attention and presence, along with compassion, empathy, and insight to support you throughout the process. I don’t use a one-size-fits-all method. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, history, and hopes for the future. It’s deeply meaningful to walk alongside my clients as they grow, change, and pursue both personal and professional goals. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Drawing on extensive training and broad life experience, I offer an approach that’s both clinically grounded and practical. My hope is that we can work together to better understand your story and move your life forward in meaningful new ways.

How I work: First we will have an introductory conversation on the phone. I will gain preliminary understanding of the problem you need help with. If I will feel that I may not be the right fit, I will provide you with referrals for therapists who specialize in the issue you are seeking a solution for (i.e., pain management). We will also discuss fees. In our first session I will go over the inform consent and office policies with you and will collect data for the intake. I will become very involved with you and we will work as a team. I will ask you what your goals are and after a couple of sessions, I will discuss the treatment plan with you. You will be in a very safe and supportive environment. I will learn to know who you are and what your personality is and I will adapt the therapeutic process to meet your individual needs.

Our problems with our friends lovers families and workmates, frequently reflect our struggles with our selves. Feeling stuck, lost chronically angry or unhappy, can result from conflicts and feeling states inside us that we are unaware of. Also, unresolved issues from the past, can result in chronic emotional disruption and pattens of thinking feeling and perceiving that work against us I provide the kind of focused listening and safe, relaxed environment that allows each individual I work with to develop a self awareness and self acceptance that lead internal and external changes. I do insight oriented psychotherapy combined with EMDR, and other techniques that are geared toward faster resolution of old issues, and paving the way toward making change.

Serving the wellness and relationship needs of diverse (including interracial, LGBT) couples civilian and military. I provide counseling and coaching at your home or online. I also provide speaking, training, and consulting services for business, school, and military events and conferences in the areas of cultural diversity, relationship health, parenting, and child wellness. Care for Couples: The majority of same-gender relationships are oftentimes fatally vulnerable to social stresses. We will explore the unexamined, private, moment-to-moment messages that may be impeding connection and intimacy. We will examine the individual (and those of the relationship) developed patterns that act as a kind of immunization against the social toxins of society's stereotypes, prejudices, and outright discrimination. Most importantly help identify and manage the stressors that are experienced physiologically and psychologically that often causes tension and emotional dysfunction in relationships leading to emptiness, distance, and sometimes a complete breakdown of the partnership. Care for Adolescent Males: Counseling may be helpful for teens that are uncomfortable with aspects of their sexuality or uncertain about how to express it. They may benefit from support and the opportunity to clarify their feelings. Therapy may also help the teen adjust to personal, family, and school-related issues or conflicts that emerge. Therapy directed specifically at changing homosexual orientation is not recommended and may be harmful for an unwilling teen. It may create more confusion and anxiety by reinforcing the negative thoughts and emotions with which the child is already struggling. I provide culturally sensitive assessments and treatment to decrease misdiagnosis when considering behavioral, mood, and sexuality disorders of G/L/B/T adolescents. Two of the goals of treatment will be to decrease number of youth experimenting with drugs and alcohol in order to cope with the many stressors as they navigate through the cultural, social, hetero-biased, political, and religious landscapes towards self-actualization. HIV Care I offer collaborative client care to help men living with HIV to help them to continue working, make healthy lifestyle choices, eliminate behaviors that are detrimental to both their physical and mental health, and to improve quality of life and need for increased medications and hospitalization. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Call your human resources department at work or your current health insurance provider to ask: • If you have mental health insurance benefits? • What do you have to pay? • How many sessions are you covered for in a 12 month period? • What is the amount your insurance will pay per counseling/therapy session? • Do you have to get approval from your primary care physician before your insurance will pay for your counseling sessions?

Many of us are reluctant to try psychotherapy until we have exhausted every conceivable means of coping with our problems. The reasons that we don't seek professional help is complex. But whether it is fear of change, pessimism or defensiveness the root may be not wanting to face ourselves. Effective therapy is about facing things about ourselves that we either can't or don't want to see. There are obvious reasons for our lack of success in love, work and relationships, yet we remain blind to them. We know that angry communication never works but we continue to act as if it does. We withhold our true feelings not only from others but ourselves. We wander through our lives sometimes dazed, sometimes confused and often disconnected. We are hurting but act as if we are invulnerable. We can be pleasant, polite to a fault, generous and kind, but, alas, feel empty at the same time. Media about movies about aliens, robots and the undead reflect the alienation from self that is so prevalent in contemporary life. We look away from ourselves. We think that problems are outside of ourselves not within us. Learning to solve the problems within us is a major goal in psychotherapy. “You have every right to expect psychotherapy to be a force for personal growth. An effective therapist will help you see your problems clearly, so that solutions become emotionally apparent and therefore, accessible. Successful therapy will address your anger and anxiety. will diminish your shame, self-blame and self-doubt. It will help you to face yourself in ways that you have avoided or been unaware of. Effective therapy makes change inevitable. If therapy does not succeed in addressing of deep frustration with self and others, it's not working. Interventions are designed to raise self-esteem, self-respect, personal authority and improve interpersonal communication underlying feelings of loneliness and isolation. I have been a licensed therapist for over four decades. My expertise is based on a wealth of personal as well as professional experience. I am familiar with every phase of the life cycle and the particular issues that arise in each phase of your journey. I encourage you to take the first step toward self-exploration. I hope to aid you in your self-affirmation.

Are you looking to make a positive change in your life but not quite sure what or how? Are there transitions in your life and you are unsure of how to cope with them? Do you have children and adolescents that you are finding hard to relate to? Do you feel stressed because of everything life throws at you? As your clinician, I want to work together to find a solution to these challenges. As humans, we should not have to deal with daily stress as a part of our lives and we shouldn’t have to figure it out all on our own. I specialize in working with children and adolescents. These two age populations are crucial in human development. During these stages of life, children experience many confusing emotions that relate to self identity, peer relationships, family relationships, life transitions and school. Working with children that range from 2-18 years old has allowed me to develop my knowledge with this delicate population. Working with children and adolescents, I have been trained to use different theoretical approaches, that which includes systemic, cognitive behavioral, postmodern, and humanistic. I also have experience working in the school setting providing counseling support and working within special education. My role is to provide support not only to the child, but also to the parents and family.

In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to your needs to help you attain the personal growth you're striving for. I employ several different therapeutic models depending on the type of difficulties you are having. Most of my experience is in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Each of these types of therapy have been evaluated and proven to be effective for a variety of problems. Research has consistently shown that the most important element in successful therapy is the working relationship between the client and the therapist. Connecting with you and establishing a solid foundation is my first and most important priority. Some of my passions include helping people deal with the impact of past traumas on their present lives, treating depression, working with clients who have trouble finding a sense of direction in their lives, and supporting the LGBTQ community. My clients have found my approach to be warm and non-judgmental; while also being honest and straight-forward. As a therapist, you will most likely find me to be, more than anything, a real person who does her best to connect with you. For fun, I enjoy anything outdoors...camping, fly-fishing, hiking...you name it. I'm also an avid reader and lover of both eating and cooking good food.

Would you like to take control of your life? If you repeatedly find yourself in relationships that hurt, have painful or traumatic events that still interfere with the enjoyment of your life today, suffer from anxiety or panic attacks,or have a relationship with food or your body that is hurting you, then I would like to help. I have nearly two decades of experience helping hundreds of clients move from pain and suffering to joy and happiness. My advanced training and experience in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing allow me to offer you a uniquely effective form of therapy designed to help you heal and get back to the business of living your life as quickly as possible.

All of us hit roadblocks in our lives. Often the chaos of life presents a situation or event that causes stress and anxiety. You may not know how to think about the problem let alone what to do about it. In addition, feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, or unmotivated, does not require an event to provoke pain. I'm talking about a need to be heard, listened to, …… understood. If you’re depressed or anxious, always angry or simply feeling unmotivated, we can work toward putting that puzzle inside you together. What we are seeking is change. Something that we can measure that helps you make more effective choices, or reduces your stress, or alters patterns in your behavior that have gotten in your way or simply helps you understand yourself and your life in a less complicated way. In addition to indvidual therapy, I work with many couples who have hit crossroads in their relationships and we try to find that common demominator of communication, that point where each partner will choose to listen to the other. Not an easy task, I relish the struggle and invite couples willing to take the leap.

As a licensed clinical social worker and certified sex therapist with over 40 years of experience, I bring a broad perspective and a practical approach to my work. I deal with issues of relationships, parenting, depression and anxiety, as well as concerns around sexuality, including disparate desire, dysfunction, lack of desire, unusual sexual preferences, sexuality and disability and aging, sexually transmitted diseases, and polyamorous relationships. I have a solo practice with an office in the Mission-Noe Valley district of San Francisco. I offer brief phone consultations, have no office staff and look after all facets of the practice myself. Providing a safe and private enviornment is a priority. Although trained in the psychodynamic model of therapy, I have evolved a briefer, present-focused treatment approach using cognitve and behavioral strategies.Treatment focuses on developing insight about unproductive behaviors, building communication and relationship skills and solidifying gains made in therapy.

I counsel individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and adults. Dr. Chapline is highly skilled at the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Ego State therapy and psycho-education. She will use her vast repertoire of additional modalities based upon a particular client's need. I enjoy my work! I love the field of psychology because it is so vast. I care about helping people move toward psychological wellness and motivating and inspiring them to reach goals. I consider therapy to be a valuable component of the walk of one's inner journey toward self completion. Psycho-education permits understanding of the origin of problematic symptoms, and how an individual became well. This type of knowledge creates skills that are transferable across life events and time.

Dr. Kiesel, a psychologist with a speciality in clinical practice, has maintained a private practice in Beverly Hills for 18 years. She treats adults with many different issues including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, eating disorders, adult survivors of sexual and physical abuse, young adults in transition, ADD, ADHD, DID and more. She enjoys working with both individuals and couples. Dr. Kiesel works in an interactive and collaborative way that emphasizes your gaining insight, self-awareness, and strength. Therapy is done in a supportive atmosphere allowing you to review patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back from achieving the goals you would like to achieve. Once you begin to be aware of and accept the issues that have been keeping you stuck,you are able to make better choices for yourself resulting in your own empowerment. The work in therapy is done collaboratively in an atmosphere of trust and at a pace that is comfortable for you. Dr. Kiesel was trained in many modalities and she utilizes them to keep her work current and most effective. Some of these modalities include psychoanalytic training, cognitive behavioral training, mindfulness meditation, and hypnosis.

I have been in private practice for over 20 years working with children, adolescents as well as adults. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and specialize in treating anxiety disorders. I also treat many other problem areas. Parenting issues are of great concern to many of my patients and that is a large part of my practice as well. More recently I have incorporated mindfulness concepts and have found that all of my patients who are interested in some of these ideas have benefited tremendously from this. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between the patient and the therapist. I may have the education and experience but it is the patient's life and we need to work together to find the solutions that work for each person.

I will help you bring forth your natural well-being to improve your experience of life and your relationships. My approach to counseling is educational and I will provide many resources to deepen your understanding of ther inside-out nature of life. This approach, sometimes referred to as "health realization," guides clients/students toward insights since positive and sustainable change occurs automatically through insight. There is no need to practice techniques or strategies. Insights last a lifetime and help you to bounce back quicker from difficult situations regardless of your situation or circumstances. It all begins with a simple conversation to uncover the ways in which you've been thinking that may be hidden in your blind spot but is getting in the way of a fulfilling life. I also provide coaching sessions for business executives and work teams to help maximize individual potential and team performance.

Tired of Talk Therapy? Bored with Behaviorism? Sick of being Stuck? There are ways to end your discomfort.

I love what I do, and am told that I'm very good at it. Often, people are helped by me after other approaches failed, filled with pain, fear and sadness; even with histories of trauma. Freud said that a therapist cannot take her clients deeper than she herself has gone. I face my own issues, so as to be clear, compassionate and without judgement. This powerful work is grounded in reality... And it WORKS. Author of "Self-Care" Pub. Spring Hill Press

If you are looking for a very compassionate and accepting yet active therapist, that is definitely my style. Clients often comment on how comfortable they feel with me, even in the first session. Are you wanting help in setting clear goals at the beginning of the therapy process? We can easily collaborate on that, and make it easier to track progress. As a result, you will be able to heighten the chances of resolving your issues more quickly. If you like, we can also look at deeper, underlying issues. You will be less apt to repeat old, unwanted behaviors as a result.

My goal is to assist individuals, couples and families to develop emotional and relational well-being. This is done by learning new skills and having experiences so that new feelings and behaviors can be integrated into our life and relationships. When couples come in for marriage counseling they are usually in some sort of distress, frequently one or both not feeing their emotional needs are being met. When stressed people tend to either react or shut down, thus impeding communication. It is also hard for one to empathize and comfort the other when in a stress state. When each learns how to monitor their own stresses and has the tools for alleviating stress, relationships fair better. At this point it becomes easier to dialogue and learn about the other's needs and communicate ours. Indviduals seek counseling or coaching frequently because of stress in relationships. They may be experiencing anxiety or depression as a result. These relationships problems can be in family, at work or with friends. On occasion someone may seek psychotherapy for personal growth reasons, they want to feel they can understand themselves better and improve the relationship they have with themselves. Singles who are looking to find the right relationship also may seek counseling in order to help clarify who they are and who would be a good match for them. At other times people are suffering from trauma that has occurred from childhood wounds or more recent events. Until these wounds and traumas are healed and resolved they may impact the current functioning and wellbeing of the individual.

As a psychotherapist serving Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach and Newport Coast I work with couples and individuals who are experiencing relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, effects of trauma, and marital issues.

No matter what the issue is, the most important aspect of therapy is developing a comfortable and trusting relationship with your therapist. I work in a way that provides that for each of my patients.

Since my training at Columbia University I have enjoyed a long and fulfilling career as a psychotherapist. I specialize in helping couples, adults, and adolescents identify and change destructive behaviors, build better relationships and achieve their potential. I work with a diverse clientele regardless of cultural background or sexual orientation. I do both short and long term therapy in a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment adapting my treatment to the client’s needs. I am certified in EMDR, a time efficient method for treating post traumatic stress disorder and other issues. In general my approach is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral. I am particularly adept in dealing with relationship problems, depression, grief, anxiety and trauma related issues. In addition to my private practice I am a clinical supervisor and have supervised experienced therapists in family service, eating disorders, addictions, DUI and probation programs. I also have extensive experience in parent training. I empower people to make changes when they feel stuck and dissatisfied with their life. I believe every human being can confront and overcome emotional blocks to achieve their goals and live a meaningful life.

I believe that psychotherapy is a place where, in a safe and confidential environment, you can talk about your most personal thoughts, feelings and life experiences. For a variety of reasons and at different ages, a person may find themselves suffering from painful feelings and exhibiting behaviors that negatively impact some or many aspects of their life and even their health. The psychotherapeutic process provides an opportunity to explore and understand these feelings and experiences through a clearer lens. Ultimately, this brings about positive changes in the way you see yourself, and choices you make. You can learn healthy coping mechanisms, improve communication and have more control over those things that undermine the success of your life, whether you are a teenager or a senior. Of course, there are a variety of reasons and stages of life that brings a person to therapy. Whatever it is, the work will lead to a relationship with yourself that is more loving, honest, constructive and nurturing. No matter what your age, that relationship is essential to living an authentic, healthy and rewarding life. Sometimes, life presents you with situations and problems that seem more than you can handle. Relationship difficulties, parenting problems or problems with parents or peers, health issues, loss, or a dissatisfaction with life can get expressed in a lack of energy, depression, sadness, or anger. Therapy can provide a healing pathway. Working with a qualified and experienced therapist can help you change your life. As difficult as it often is to take the first step, once you do, you are likely to find there can be great relief in reaching out and sharing your story.

From my many years of experience as a psychotherapist, I know the quality of our relationships is central to our entire experience of life. If our primary relationship is not going well, it is hard for us to be truly happy so I am especially passionate about helping couples in crisis, when there has been some kind of betrayal. So many relationships that start out feeling wonderful and exciting end up in frustration and disappointment. In addition, life crises can stress a relationship to the brink. It saddens me to know that couples go through the intense pain of breaking up only to struggle in their next relationship. It doesn't need to be that way. I help couples learn skills that give them immediate relief from their most hurtful encounters and foster deep empathy, understanding and connection. In only a few coaching sessions with your partner, you will learn how to communicate in ways that: * Rekindle friendship and passion * Truly resolve long standing conflict and * Lead to individual growth and satisfaction. I see psychotherapy as helping people access their inner resources, deepen their self awareness, develop strategies for overcoming obstacles and break old habits, and learning coping skills to face the inevitable stresses of life. I am an empathetic, active listener who approaches my clients' concerns with deep respect, honesty, pragmatism, caring and sometimes, with humor. I am results oriented and ensure that my clients can transfer what they experience and learn in my sessions to their real life. I am humbled and honored by the trust my clients have shown me over the years as me I have accompanied them on their journey back to safety and and enriched personal relationships and to more fulfillment and satisfaction with life.

Elisabeth Coffey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey. She frequently works with professionals, many of whom have difficulty putting down their jobs and careers when it comes to building and enjoying their personal lives. She understands that the work-life balance is very important when determining how to live the life you want, and working on living a life in line with your personal values rather than continuing along with comfortable and established routines can be challenging. She will help you sift through all of the things keeping you too busy to work on changing anything and help you figure out where you can afford to pull back and want to. Elisabeth has an office in Florham Park, NJ but can also see patients remotely. It is her goal to listen to clients, understand where they're coming from, and enable them to understand themselves, what they want that they don't have, and identify what is preventing them from achieving their goals. Elisabeth realizes that there is much distraction from what we are feeling that it is nice to schedule a time and place once a week to allow for our feelings. She strives to provide a safe place to experience those feelings and work through them. She looks forward to helping you create meaning by putting everything into words and seeing the gifts in every experience and how they have shaped you into who you are.
