Hello, my name is Scott,

I am a clinical social worker in Michigan. I view emotions not as inherently good or bad but as protective strategies that have evolved in response to past situations. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, aiming to help individuals navigate their distress with greater ease and understanding. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Systemic Family Therapy into my practice. By combining these approaches, I work with clients to explore and address the underlying dynamics of their emotional experiences and relationships, fostering healing and personal growth.

I have a deep sense of commitment to supporting people who are experiencing distress surrounding psychosis; such as hearing voices, having visions or other sensory experiences, strong beliefs, or what some describe as a spiritual emergency. I am equally dedicated to supporting the loved ones of those affected.

Hi, my name is Sydney,

As a student therapist at Michigan State University, I am completing my field placement with a focus on supporting individuals and couples. I’m especially interested in relationship counseling, helping people improve communication, navigate conflict, and deepen intimacy. I also have an interest in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or OCD.

I use practices from Compassion-Focused Therapy and consider family relationships to guide my work. My background includes child custody investigations and adolescent advocacy, which has strengthened my understanding of family dynamics and resilience.

Under the guidance of professional supervision, I provide relationship counseling and individual therapy in a supportive, inclusive space where clients feel understood, validated, and empowered.
