Clinical Social Worker/Therapist

| Services: |
Psychotherapy/Counseling
|
| Practice Description: |
I enjoy working with teens and adults struggling with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders and parenting issues.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral treatment which I use with depression and anxiety related issues. I use CBT to help clients see things in a different perspective by challenging unproductive thinking patterns.
I am a very empathetic and supportive therapist and I believe in an individual's self-determination.
Another focus in my therapy practice is couples and relationship counseling.
I have completed extensive clinical training at the University of Michigan Medical Center. I have also trained an entire year on an adult eating disorder unit.
I am happy to answer email or phone questions to see if we're a "good fit."
I provide sliding scale fees when necessary. Just ask.
I am a provider for most managed care companies.
Brief, initial phone assessments available at no charge. I check my voicemail regularly.
Evening appointments available.
My office is easily accessible to several main 'L' stops and has a garage with validated parking available. (Corner of Wabash and Washington; 1 block west of Michigan Avenue.)
