I offer an open, conversational, and professionally directed approach to individuals and couples seeking therapy for issues including career & work difficulties, depression, anxiety, family issues, as well as sexuality, broken relationships, support for lifestyle changes for clients with medical issues such as diabetes, heart disease and life transitions. The therapeutic relationship is useful to help you learn new ways of understanding yourself and others & forging relationship changes.

As a versatile clinician, I enjoy working with all people. Whether it is Individual or relationship therapy, coaching services, addressing couple or family issues, Parenting consultation, or working with you on your own concerns and examining old beliefs and habits that have been holding you back ~ I welcome patients' stories and enjoy helping them find their own courage, core strengths and desires. As a psychotherapist doing therapy in Ann Arbor some 25+ years, it still is a privilege to witness a patient's process as they discover how to express their truest selves. I love this work and consider it a great gift to be invited to witness your work and to assist you in your process to create more health and happiness in your life.

I understand that the decision to enter into counseling may have been a difficult one for you. I know that making that first call is the most difficult and bravest thing you can do for yourself. I have been on both sides of the desk, so I can relate to that fear and anxiety. Before you agree to enter into a counseling relationship with me, I believe it’s important for you to understand my background. I have many personal loss experiences which led me to this career. I have experience as a hospice volunteer, facilitating a young partner loss group, grief and loss groups using art expression, guest blogger and artist for an online support group, illustrated and co-wrote a hospice grief journal, an artist, and a published poet. I have over ten years of experience in career counseling earning two certifications, have worked in non-profits, hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, teaching, mental health clinics, and most recently in private practice. I also am a Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach and certified in grief counseling. I consider myself an eclectic, faith based (religion need not be discussed) counselor that is person centered with an empathetic strength based approach. I incorporate the use of creative arts using various art media and writing and mindfulness such as relaxation and visualizations. I received an associate’s degree in psychology and a bachelor of fine arts degree, Cum Laude, in 1999 and received my master of arts in counseling in 2006 from Siena Heights University. I have also earned post graduate credits in art therapy. I can help you with life adjustment, bereavement, depression, stress, and anxiety. My hope is that through a non-judgmental approach, you will accept my support and encouragement during the difficulty you may be experiencing in your life journey.

I am Arielle Bryant, a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Michigan. I have over 5 years of experience working with clients’ concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, parenting issues, grief and loss, life changes, and self-esteem, among others. Primarily, I’ve utilized individual, couple, and family therapy modalities in community mental health. I tailor goal-setting to each client utilizing a variety of skill sets from Cognitive Behavioral, Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, and Solution-Focused therapies. I chose therapy as a career because I genuinely enjoy helping individuals improve and develop healthy relationships with themselves and the world around them. I chose Marriage and Family Therapy, specifically, because MFTs take a holistic perspective to health care; they are concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals and their families. In marriage and family therapy, the unit of treatment isn't just the person - even if only a single person is present - it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded. Not only do I want to support you in building healthy relationships with your loved ones, but also with yourself. Metaphorically, my job is to hold the flashlight in your life so that not only can you examine what needs to be done, but also so that your hands are free to do the work necessary to create the life you want. I believe that everyone does the best the can with what they think they have at the moment. We are all capable of growth and change when we have the support and room to do so. My goal is to provide a safe environment and accountability for you to explore what you really want for yourself. My therapeutic style is strength-based and collaborative. This means you are the expert in your life and my role is to support you in reaching your goals. With me, you can expect patience, kindness, warmth, humor, and unconditional positive regard. I will hold space for you and make sure you see and celebrate all of your wins, including this one. Your reaching out is an acknowledgment that things can be better and an expression of hope that they WILL GET BETTER. So, thank you for your bravery and trust. Thank you for showing up. Together we can do great things. I’m ready when you are.

I am a Licensed Social Worker in Michigan with over 15 years of clinical experience in the mental health world. I specialize in managing anxiety, depression, anger, low self esteem, grief and loss, relationships, life transitions, and trauma. Feelings can hit hard and be confusing. Trauma and/or negative experiences can alter our brain in ways that make us more vulnerable to intense, negative emotions. This can create a state of mindlessness throwing our awareness and acceptance off balance. We can become more reactive and at times dissociate from experiences, not truly enjoying life and unable to recall certain memories. This can hurt our relationships and impact our work or school performance. I can teach you the skills to understand yourself and reclaim your emotional stability. The journey is unique and not linear, but with time and patience, I will help you build resilience and teach you new ways to cope with overwhelming emotions.
