Find a Therapist in Hartford, Michigan.

Entering into therapy is a difficult, but rewarding first step toward living a life that will benefit you and your family for years to come. To me, therapy is about more than simply "fixing" a problem. It is a collaborative process that helps you gain awareness of the strengths you bring to the table to choose how you want to live, even through conflict and strife. I don’t believe that the work of counseling is about digging up all past experiences and analyzing them to death. Instead, my work will focus on your present experiences and difficulties, while bringing in relevant parts of your history and story to help illuminate the themes, goals, and patterns that are part of your life now.

Psychotherapy is a collaboration. For this reason, establishing a trusting working relationship is of paramount importance. I work with a person, not a 'problem', and strive to understand the issues my clients struggle with as a part of the whole. They are often struggling to make sense of their lives, and actually making sense of things is curative. I am eclectic in my approach, but believe that a deep focus on emotions paves the way to other changes, cognitive as well as social. Emotions are our internal GPS; and if we've lost our way, they can provide a roadmap. I am also essentially strategic in my outlook, since learning to be effective in the world makes for a meaningful life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
