Therapists in Michigan

Hi there, my name is Melissa and I'd love to be a support to you! I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan over 20 years ago and have worked in a variety of settings both as a medical social worker and as a therapist. I truly enjoy the strong relationships that I have built and consider myself lucky to enjoy my work every day. I have worked with a wide range of people experiencing a variety of struggles, including depression and anxiety, grief and loss and life changing transitions. These transitions may include from school to work, marriage or divorce, the birth of a child or an empty nest and changes in personal health or caregiving for a loved one. I utilize a variety of approaches to help you achieve your goal, tapping into your personal strengths and offering support and acceptance. I feel that working in a Person In Environment perspective can be validating and help people achieve their goals quicker. I also employ techniques such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, recognizing that what works for one person may not work for everyone. I am excited to be a part of BetterHelp, with this platform allowing validation and support to be available to everyone, even with the hectic lifestyles many lead. I look forward to working together soon!

I have a number of years providing personal and career counseling both individually and in groups. I like to help people distinguish between problems they can solve from those with which they have to adjust. I try to help people identify as many ways as possible to solve problems, but I do not select which alternative(s) would work best - they do. I also try to help clients set priorities by identifying which concerns need immediate attention (acute) versus which concerns are ongoing (chronic). I've worked with inner-city Detroit clients as well as those from suburbia. I have taught counseling courses at Oakland University, Shippensburg University, University of Detroit, and University of Phoenix. I have a Master's degree in Counseling from Wayne State University and a Ph.D degree in Counseling from the University of Michigan. My name is Peter Wolf and I look forward to meeting you!

I am a clinical therapist with over 7 years of experience. I work with individuals, families, and parents to address stress around relationships, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Life is hard and everyone needs help along their journey; maybe it is to heal or transform into a better version of oneself. As your therapist, I aim to create an environment that is honest and judgment-free. My counseling approach includes Solution-Focused Therapy, goal-oriented, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. Also important to note, I maintain a low caseload to ensure attention to detail. I am going to talk with you about your needs and tailor my expertise to best serve you. Life is a journey that has high and low points, and sometimes we need help during the low points. Everyone at some point will need additional support so, do not think you have to go through this time alone.
