Services
Christian Counseling
Our Christian counseling services integrate spiritual principles with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mental health challenges. Therapists work with clients to explore the intersection of faith and mental wellness through individual, family, and group sessions. This approach helps clients find hope and healing through a combination of psychological expertise and spiritual guidance.
Substance Abuse Evaluation
We provide comprehensive substance abuse evaluations required for legal matters like DUI reinstatement. These assessments meet Michigan DAAD requirements while offering insights into clients' recovery needs. Our certified clinicians use standardized protocols to determine appropriate treatment recommendations and risk assessment for substance-related issues.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation techniques. This evidence-based approach treats PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions by reprocessing distressing memories. Our therapists use this technique to help clients reduce symptoms and achieve emotional healing through the brain's natural healing processes.
Group Therapy
Our group therapy programs offer structured support for addiction recovery and trauma healing. The Men's Compulsive Sexual Behaviors group and Beyond Trauma women's group provide safe environments for shared experiences. These sessions combine professional guidance with peer support to foster accountability and community-based healing.
Play Therapy
Specially designed play therapy spaces help children express emotions through therapeutic play activities. This developmentally appropriate approach addresses behavioral issues, trauma, and emotional challenges in children. Our therapists use play as a natural communication tool to help young clients process experiences and develop coping skills.
