Therapists in Michigan

Are you wondering – Why can’t I just get my shit together?! Are you doing all the right things and still feeling lost? Are you so worried about being judged that you keep it all bottled up? You don’t have to wait to hit your breaking point to see a therapist. This is not the life you want anymore! You want to feel at peace and hopeful for the future, not drained and afraid.

Cycle breaking intergenerational and environmental patterns for the better is never easy. But we all deserve to know how powerful we are, and to be proud of what we’ve done when we push to be better everyday. Being that you are the expert of your life, you will take lead in our sessions, while I support this journey walking alongside you. Together we will identify resources that compel results to last outside of our sessions. We will achieve this in a judgement free environment, serving as a refuge to unlock self-clarity and confront the circumstances that have been obstacles to your authenticity and healing.

Skill, experience and kindness are qualities many seek in a therapist. When you are suffering with personal problems, you want to know that you will be heard and understood in ways that will help you find ways to expand your own self-understanding. A good therapist - the right therapist for you - is one who can "think together" with you to help find new solutions to old problems. The Mel Bornstein Clinic for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy was established upon a 60-year tradition of offering just this kind of help.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

As a counselor and art therapist, my approach comes with an understanding that people are multifaceted. When challenges arise, there is no cookie-cutter fix for the situation you may be facing as you are unique, and your therapy should be tailored to your needs.

I come to sessions with the goal of being supportive, resourceful, authentic, and empathetic since building rapport is crucial to the therapeutic alliance.

From everyday transitional life circumstances, to severe events which significantly impact numerous areas of one's life, my goal is the same; build a sense of empowerment, increase awareness, and provide a knowledge of skills that can be used to persevere through current challenges, as well as future stress.
