Coping with the difficulties and challenges of life is very specific to each of us as individuals. When we feel like life is pushing us beyond our limits, professional help may be what enables us to move forward and manage life's struggles in a healthy way. I'm Michelle Sherman, a licensed master Social Worker with 20 years of experience. I work with individuals utilizing a strengths-based counseling approach. Different therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)and stress reduction methods are provided in a safe, empathic, and nonjudgmental space to maximize treatment effectiveness. Earning your trust and creating a safe therapeutic relationship are very important to me. My work includes helping individuals through loss, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, divorce and general life stress. Parenting in general and juggling the the demands of children with special needs are also a focus area. I have done a great deal of advocacy within schools to help families with IEP's and 504 plans. Exploring mindfulness techniques, addressing self regulation, challenging negative thinking patterns, and exploring "the whys" behind habits are some of the strategies I use to support clients. The individuals and families I work with have shared over the years that they find me to be open, caring, a great listener, warm, accepting and full of strategies, methodology and tools that have been helpful. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Hang in there! You are on your way and worth the effort and time it will take to find a therapist who will be a great fit.

Change is a part of life we all experience. If the change is good we run to tell someone about it. When the change is not so good we often keep it to ourselves having no one else to turn to. These are times when having a therapist can make all the difference. My counseling approach is client centered. This allows for each person's interests, desires, and priorities to play an active role in their treatment planning. I support the idea that what a person chooses to do is directly related to what that person chooses to think. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to promote positive and lasting change. My desire is to be the person you can turn to for support and guidance. I will walk with you through your struggles. We will do this together. You will not walk alone.

Hello, I'm Cara and I have practiced counseling for over 10 years. I have worked with those battling addiction, adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety and conflict resolution. I have experience working with adolescents, families, couples and individuals. My experiences include working in outpatient, residential and in-home counseling settings. I believe in listening to what the client needs and at the same time challenging them. I feel the way to do this is building a good rapport and to have open communication. I use more of a client based approach but am open to adjusting to what the client needs. There is a stigma around mental health which I feel needs to change. I believe every individual should seek counseling if they feel they need help and there should be no shame attached to receiving counseling services. I look forward to helping those who are looking to take the steps to better themselves.

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

- Counseling with therapists: $100-300

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Plainwell?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Plainwell therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in MI, therapists may be booked out with clients.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Plainwell, Michigan can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Plainwell has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
