Do you find yourself struggling to be who you want to be in your relationships? Are you unsure how to change things in your relationships? With commitment and a good therapist, you can improve your relationship. Give me a call or send me an email so I can work with you to determine what might work for your relationship. I specialize in relationship issues, and I work with both individuals and couples. Relationships are complex, offering many opportunities for difficulties. Relationship trouble can lead you to feel depressed, anxious, and alone, but a new perspective can offer you hope. We all do the best we can with what we know, but sometimes we need an outsider to help us learn new ways of being. When a relationship is troubled, some time spent reflecting on problematic habits and behaviors can help you move forward. Life can be easier, and your relationships can be better.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the field with all ages and couples for the last 7 years, teens exclusively for 2 years before that. I have worked with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual identity issues, and addiction. There is not a population of people I feel uncomfortable working with. My therapeutic approach is warm and non-judgmental. My goal as a therapist is to help you meet your goals while becoming obsolete. I want you to be able to live your life as freely as possible and no longer have a need for me. I use a combination of solution-focused therapy, cognitive therapy, and humanistic therapy. I am trained in EMDR, which has been an instrumental tool in working with individuals suffering from trauma such as loss of a loved one or rape. If EMDR does not work for you, there are many other types of therapy we can try. I would describe my counseling style as non-judgmental, genuine, warm, and solution-focused. I will help you get to wherever you need to go, whether that's a better sense of self, better work ethic, or lower depressive or anxious levels. I am also here if you just need an unbiased 3rd party to listen to your issues in a confidential setting.

Effective therapy is about finding the right fit for your unique needs. Are you an adult looking for help with addiction? trauma? depression? anxiety? relationship issues? anger? Maybe you're feeling lost or untethered and need a sounding board to find your footing again. Or maybe you know you need something but don't know where to start. I approach each and every client with compassion and without judgment. Our sessions are collaborative and I place great value on establishing a relationship built on trust and respect.

Together we can identify past trauma(s), make connections between past and present, and identify relevant patterns. This process will allow you to understand anxious andor traumatic responses and do the work to allow those parts of you to heal. I specialize in trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, stress, and depression. I often utilize neurofeedback, PEMF, RIFE, mindfulness, DBT, trauma-focused, CBT, and Somatic therapy models with my clients. My goal is to help you grow, become your personal best, and to help you heal from challenging and difficult experiences-both past and present. It is important to know that you are never alone.

Do you struggle with feelings of sadness and worry that leave you feeling disconnected from others and exhausted? Are you always doing for others yet feel bad about asking for or accepting help? Do you sometimes wonder if your reactions in the present are somehow based on experiences from your younger years? Are you sure life should feel better? I am an experienced therapist and the owner of New Perspective Counseling, a group practice dedicated to the treatment of anxiety, depression and trauma. Our therapists are skilled, compassionate professionals who start by trying to understand your personal struggles and the challenges you face. From there we will work with you to develop a treatment plan.

Therapy should be a true partnership that is focused on you and your wants and needs. I'm not here to interject myself or tell you what to do. A good therapeutic relationship is critical to your long-term success and we will work at creating a positive and supportive space. While counseling can be, at times, inherently uncomfortable or difficult, it's important to make the time as enjoyable and positive as possible. I love using humor to cope with difficult situations and laughing at myself or the world is second-nature. Cultivating positivity is also important so I will focus on supporting you and building on your strengths and successes.

What we tell ourselves matters. What we believe about ourselves matters even more. In fact; it controls everything we think, say, feel, experience, and do. ~Sherry #CounselingIsCreative *****See our section on Specific Issues I am Skilled at Helping with to see if you notice yourself there!

I enjoy helping clients discover a healthier and happier way of being, in all the roles we take on and situations we find ourselves; relationships, marriage, career, feeling stuck, alone, anxious, sad, chronic anger, hauntings from a traumatic past, loss of a loved one, or perhaps not liking who you see in the mirror each day. Life is full of challenges and events that bring us up and those that bring us down. Counseling provides the time and space to work through your thoughts and feelings, to seek change, improve your sense of self worth and increase your confidence and ability to cope with all that comes along in life. I approach these experiences with empathic listening and genuine curiosity, as well as compassion and respect. I understand the courage it takes to delve into issues that feel uncomfortable and sometimes painful. I provide a private office in Farmington Hills where you can feel safe, where honesty is valued and not judged. My approach to our work together also includes asking questions, offering interpretations, providing psycho-education, encouragement, honesty and a splash of humor. Beyond my training, I bring to therapy my own journey and the lessons that have come from life's bumps as well as the successes. I have experienced the challenges of being a caregiver to a parent with dementia, as well as grieved the loss of a parent. My family members have struggled with cancer and I understand the fear and helplessness that accompanies this disease. I've also experienced the joy of loving relationships and strong friendships. I have been blessed with children on the gifted spectrum, and know as well the stress that comes with their unique view of the world and heightened sensitivities. Therapy can be a life-changing process, and I feel honored each day when I can share with someone that experience of positive change and re-discovering joy!
