Hello! I am a licensed Masters of Social Work Clinical Counselor based in Michigan. I received my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My hope has always been to utilize my education to offer service and support to those who need a helping hand. I have worked in impatient, hospice, home care, residential, and hospital settings which has offered a wide range of knowledge in how poor mental health can negatively impact someone's life. Since 2020 I have focused my efforts on telehealth counseling which has helped me reach a population of individuals who may have not pursued therapy in the past.

I’m Jeremy. Unique, kind, huge Lions fan, and hater of glitter. I would love to connect to see if we would be a good fit. I make traditional therapy fun by using nontraditional methods. We laugh a lot, ugly cry, and leave the session empowered to conquer the day. I’m not a fan of these bio things because it doesn’t do justice to what the therapeutic experience is like with me. Lets talk! Talktherapyjeremy.com

Together, we’ll focus on calming your nervous system and building skills that help you feel more in control. With my specialized skills, many clients notice positive changes within just a few days.

I'm a licensed MSW (master social worker) in Michigan. I use solution focused counseling to help you figure out what positive changes you'd like to make and what small changes you can start with. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and concerns. Solution Focused Therapy is a very practical and effective form of counseling. Most of the clients who gravitate towards my services want to take action and start making changes right away. They don't want to just talk about their problems, they want to get ideas for specific things to do and move on with their lives. They don't want to be in counseling for years and want a counselor who appreciates that too.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share my background, as I believe my experience may be of value to you. With 37 years of lived experience alongside family members facing severe mental challenges, I have gained a deep understanding of the unique struggles that individuals and families encounter in these situations. My professional journey in the mental health field spans over 12 years, during which I have worked closely with various communities, including those transitioning from in-patient mental health facilities. Having grown here and choosing to raise my family in this community, I have a strong connection to the values of country life. My experiences working on local farms have further enriched my perspective and resilience. The mental health field chose me, offering a sense of purpose in navigating my own life challenges. I am passionate about helping individuals find their path towards healing, and I bring experience in both addiction and recovery. Additionally, I am committed to creating an affirming environment for everyone, including those in the LGBTQ community. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss how I can support you or your loved ones in navigating these challenging times. Please feel free to reach out at your convenience.

I am an LMSW, soccer coach, and former collegiate athlete. Formerly the Ehrenberg Family Fellow for Athletic Counseling in the University of Michigan Athletic Department. I provided mental health and athletic performance care for up to thirty Division 1 varsity student-athletes. I received my master’s degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 2020. My passion is to help individuals become masters of themselves and to help them accomplish their goals. I work from a social justice lens to be culturally sensitive, utilizing strength-based, solution-focused interventions. I strive to work collaboratively toward clients’ objectives. I have worked with patients on athletic performance, injury support, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, sleep issues, relational stressors, grief/loss, trauma and suicidality. My approach is foundationally a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, and I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I intend to earn my certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The area I am most passionate about is the study of traumatic, toxic-stress, and mind/body symptoms. I have been interested in how trauma extends beyond some of the more historic notions of PTSD and ACEs. I myself was a collegiate athlete and, through many hardships and obstacles, on and away from the field, went through my own mental health journey. After coaching youth soccer for eight years since college, it became apparent to me that we had been neglecting the mental health of athletes and, oftentimes, of youth in general. In turn, my biggest motivation became de-stigmatizing mental health problems, particularly in the world of sport, and being a spokesperson for the value of therapy.

I use tools learned from both neurodiversity affirming and trauma informed approaches to empower my clients to trust their instincts, surround themselves with loving supports, and center their day to day life on their values. Together we will build a space that allows you to reconnect with all of the unique and beautiful aspects of who you are.

I believe Irvin Yalom said it best when he said we need to form a unique therapy for every person.

Together, we can work to help you find what you are looking for in therapy.

I'm a therapist who's all about getting to the deep interconnectedness of things – peeling back the layers to really understand what's at play. From what I've seen in our sessions, you're the kind of person who's often navigating a lot beneath the surface: those unprocessed emotions that can feel like a "big bowl of whatever," or those times when you go "zero to a hundred" because something deep is getting triggered. I get that you're exhausted from going in circles, and that sometimes, what seems like a simple miscommunication is actually rooted in old fears or feelings of being unheard. My approach isn't just about quick fixes; it's about seeing how your past experiences – like those significant losses or family dynamics you've navigated – connect directly to how you're feeling and reacting today. We'll explore those unconscious patterns and "defense mechanisms" that might have protected you once but are now holding you back. I'm here to help you understand not just what's happening, but why it keeps happening, so you can truly build healthier coping mechanisms and find a sense of peace that resonates with your whole self – mind, body, and spirit.

Hello! I began my social work journey in 2006 and have been working in the mental health field since I obtained my MSW in 2008. As a clinical social worker I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of helping individuals identify and address many mental health concerns and move towards the life they most desire. I am passionate about addressing the stigma around addictions and serious mental illness and I believe the best way to begin any mental health journey of recovery is with compassion and understanding. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and I use a strengths-based orientation of empowerment to work with adults and couples. I feel that we are already our best selves-we just need some help letting go of the survival skills we've taken on to get through the toughest times in our lives. I have spent several years working exclusively with homeless veterans and individuals struggling with addiction, and this has given me additional perspective and insight into the needs of some of our most vulnerable populations. I am an advocate, an accountability partner, an empath and your greatest cheerleader. I'm excited to help you rediscover your best self and to claim the life you deserve.

Hello! I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) and a therapist specializing in Substance Use Disorders (SUD). I believe in the effectiveness of CBT, which focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, CBT promotes healthier thinking and behavior. It is effective for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress, providing essential coping strategies and problem-solving skills. My sessions are grounded in extensive training and an ethical framework that prioritizes your progress while fostering a trusting environment for healing and personal growth. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in General Business from Ferris University, and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Wayne State University, where I specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Throughout my professional journey, I have had the privilege of working as a Residential Therapist in a Substance Use treatment facility, helping individuals facing various types of addiction. I have also worked in a Psychiatric Emergency Department as a Behavioral Health Provider, collaborating with the medical team to implement effective interventions. Additionally, I have provided both individual and group therapy through a community behavioral health nonprofit, working in diverse settings such as correctional facilities, clients’ homes, and Private Practice.

I have seen people in almost all professional and community arenas (even jails). My work has been a mix of public and private sector involvement, including 11 years of community mental health service and 30 years of individual practice. I have extensive experience in both home- and office-based psychotherapy, program development, clinical supervision, and clinical innovation. Special populations have included people with developmental disabilities, children and adolescents at risk for out-of-home placements, people with substance abuse issues, and geriatric populations; all have experienced various forms of grief, loss, and trauma while navigating the simple task of living and surviving. If you modify the title of Johnny Cash's song I've Been Everywhere to I've Done Everything (except prison work), that pretty much sums up my years of professional experience.
