Therapists in Chelsea, MI

Hi, I am Erin McDaid. I have been working for over eight years as a clinical therapist with adults, older adults, and older adolescents. I use a goal-oriented therapy style, focusing on areas of strength or need that are determined by the client. My style is no-nonsense and direct. I use a wide variety of skills and techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing. I often assign homework for clients to complete between therapy sessions (however, I try not to make it complex or overwhelming). I do not believe in stereotyping, labeling, or stigmatizing people. I welcome working with people of all faiths, genders, sexual orientations, political affiliations, and ethnicities. At an initial interview clients should expect to discuss with me their background (how they grew up, what they have done since high school, any relationship status), their current symptoms, any drug or alcohol use or history, any legal history, and their hopes for what they will get from therapy. During this discussion I will work to clarify any questions that occur to me and to reassure the client that both the client and I are understanding the client’s needs and history. We will also discuss what the specific issues are that brought you to therapy. Be ready to be open and forthcoming. Clients may leave their initial session with a simple homework assignment that will begin to move them forward with their treatment.

Nancy Chin, MS, LPC, CAADC, QMHP I bring a genuine sense of hope and optimism to each and every counseling session. Having 26 years of experience in counseling of addictions and now 10 years experience with mental health disorders helps me to educate and counsel on most any issue you may be experiencing. Having a master's degree of science in mental health counseling and being a licensed professional counselor, as well as being a certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor and a certified trauma professional allows me to reach out and help many people. I have worked in the mental health field for the last 26 years as a mental health professional and the last 6 years as a supervisor of two programs in a community mental health setting, as well as being a therapist in the co-occurring and substance use disorders programs. I look forward to helping all that suffer from mental health disorders, addictions or trauma issues of any type.

I have been doing individual, group, and family therapy since I received my MSW degree in 2007, but I've worked in the field of social work since right out of high school. In my therapy practice, I draw from a wide variety of personal and career experiences which have taught me to hold emotional space and cultivate safety and unconditional positive regard for my clients. I began as a VISTA volunteer at a YWCA on the border of Detroit. After completing my BSW at Wayne State University I was hired into a program that provided in-home family therapy and case management for parents that were involved with CPS. Then I joined the Peace Corps and served in Kingston, Jamaica as a youth-at-risk volunteer. I completed my MSW degree at Western Michigan University after I returned to the US, and have worked in a variety of settings as a clinical therapist since then, including a Native tribe, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and within a medical clinic setting. I also teach yoga and am a reiki master, and I practice Native Tradition. My current perspective on counseling is that humanity is going through a massive evolution of consciousness. I am an empath which also informs my therapeutic approach. I enjoy blending scientific facts and ancient wisdom with storytelling when working with my clients. I live in a cottage in the woods, close to Lake Michigan, and I spend as much time in nature as possible. I care deeply about people and while I have many hobbies, mental health therapy has always been my passion. My family is full of mental illness, addiction, narcissism, and abuse and as a child I dreamed of being happy and helping others find their happiness too. I believe we all have an inner compass that can guide us. Mindfulness, CBT techniques, yoga, philosophy, art, music, and humor make up the majority of my approach with clients in an attempt to spark that connection with your inner compass.

Hi, and thank you for reading my profile. In my practice, I focus on helping clients overcome mental and physical health barriers. I specialize in solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and holistic healthcare. I primarily work with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, aiming to help individuals find peace in their daily lives, acceptance in their choices, and develop tools to manage stress. My counseling style is laid-back. I’ve been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor (as noted by me, with a smile!). I focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome obstacles. I’m here to help you navigate the challenges you’re facing and to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be open and honest. Reaching out for help is the first and most important step, and I’m sorry that you’re going through a tough time right now.

I bring over 25 years of experience as a clinical social worker, working with a wide range of ages and cultural backgrounds. More personally, my experience as a mother of a child with mental health challenges has given me a deep understanding of navigating the healthcare system and finding necessary resources.

I believe in direct straightforward therapy. I have 10 years of working with Substance Use Disorder Clients, Domestic Violence, and Trauma. I'm a Veteran of the United States Airforce and have experience working with Veteran Clients. Client Review-Mark Panasiewicz is truly a life-changing therapist. When my partner and I first sought his help, our marriage was on the verge of collapse with both of us separated and living in different countries. We were stuck in a cycle of constant arguments, miscommunication, and emotional distance. From the very first session, Mark created a safe, judgment-free space that allowed both of us to open up and be vulnerable. We had seen quite a few therapists previously and can confidently say Mark's approach is unique and different than all other therapists we tried. His practical and direct advice helped us uncover the root causes of our conflicts, teaching us how to communicate in a way that fosters understanding and connection rather than division. His strategies and exercises were practical, insightful, and tailored specifically to our needs. Week after week, we began to see significant changes—not just in our relationship but also in how we viewed ourselves and each other. Two months into therapy we moved back in together. Thanks to Mark's guidance, we’ve rebuilt trust, learned to appreciate one another, and rediscovered the love that brought us together in the first place. We owe him more than words can express. If you're looking for someone who can truly make a difference in your relationship, Mark is the therapist to see. He didn’t just save our marriage—he gave us a new foundation to thrive. Thank you, Mark, for everything!
