Therapists in Michigan

Hello and welcome! What a wonderful and courageous step you have made! My name is Jessica Slack, I am a clinical therapist and a licensed master of social work (LMSW) through the state of Michigan. I acquired both my bachelors and masters of social work through the University of Michigan, and have been practicing as a counselor for individuals, couples, and families for the past 8 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including personality disorders, mood disorders (including bipolar disorder and depression), anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, substance use and addiction, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I have worked with victims of trauma and loss, as well as those struggling with impulsive behaviors, eating disorders, and problems managing anger. My therapy style is empathetic, validating, and encouraging, with a healthy mixture of solution-oriented, motivational, and change-based approaches. Balancing both acceptance and change, I encourage others to identify their personal goals, and work together to build their most authentic life. I use a holistic and strengths-based approach and a variety of therapeutic techniques and interventions tailored toward your unique strengths and needs. I have practiced a variety of treatment modalities, with my expertise being in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I also utilize solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing techniques. I utilize a mixture of theoretical approaches, with a foundation being in the holistic biopsychosocial approach. Integrating biological, psychological, and socio-cultural perspectives, I work toward determining and understanding behavior and cognitive processes as a result of a combination of biological processes, past experiences, and social-cultural norms. I focus on a variation of a strengths-based approach, mindfulness approach, and problem solving approach to develop insight, build skills and enhance mastery, and empower you to be most effective in solving problems and managing emotions. I believe in treating every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and empowering against stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and joyful life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Michigan with over 20 years’ experience as a psychotherapist. My therapeutic model focuses on restoring hope, promoting growth, and building upon the strengths of the client. My goal as a therapist is to provide support and practical feedback to help with those unresolved past and current concerns/problems while gaining more confidence, courage, and satisfaction out of life. Through counseling I am dedicated to help clients find their own inner strength and resolve life difficult journeys, so that life is enjoyed to its fullest. Growth comes from facing our problems and overcoming them. I provide therapy with an integrative approach that has its foundations in behaviorism, utilizing models such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy.

Approach My approach to therapy is a person-centered (humanistic), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and choice/reality therapy (CT/RT) perspective. I routinely use motivational interviewing and self-reflection methods to encourage and facilitate the client's growth and development. I believe that the strongest pathway to transformation lies in one's willingness to continually self-reflect for positive growth development. Because I firmly believe in the power and importance of self-reflection and remaining in opportunities to learn and evolve, I humbly remain in my personal growth development by regularly expanding my knowledge with research-based therapeutic methods with a design to meet the needs of many within this diverse and continuously evolving society.
