Hello and welcome! I am Teresa Embach, a License Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan. I have been practicing for over a decade and have worked with many clients who have come from all walks of life. I love having the opportunity to be there for clients when they are facing challenges, providing support and empower them to achieve their goals.
When we meet for our first session, we will work to get to know each other, and develop a plan to help you achieve your goals.
I am a kind and caring person who genuinely cares about the clients I work with and their success. I will meet you where you are at without judgement and we will work together to define and reach your goals.
When using CBT, we will work together to help you identify stressors, build coping skills and challenging your thoughts that are causing distress. By working together, to change your way of thinking about these stressor and building coping skills, you will be able to better manage the ups and downs life throws at you.
DBT focuses on teaching skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. Okay, I know that first sentence is a lot!! But don't worry, we will work together to help you learn skill to empower you to effectively navigate challenging situations that arise.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is a specialize therapy developed to assist clients process through traumatic events and take their power back. I have worked with clients providing PE for almost 10 years and seen many achieve great success and healing. I will work with you throughout the PE process, step by step, to provide support and empower you to regain control of your life.
Solutions Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term therapy which works with clients by getting them to focus on a solution rather than the problem. SFBT provides a more positive perspective in which I will work with you to develop a solution, encourage and support you as you put your plan into action and achieve success.
