Outpatient therapy may not be the best option for everyone. If you are having thoughts of suicide or homicide, it is important to seek immediate assistance. Please go to your nearest emergency room or call the 24-hour Suicide and Crisis Lifeline which is available 7 days a week. That number is 988. Michigan residents also should call 911 if they need emergency medical assistance. If you need referrals for a non-medical related emergency, calling 211 can connect you with food, housing, financial assistance, utility assistance and more. 

No, we do not do custody evaluations. If you need a custody evaluation or recommendations regarding parenting time, the Friend of the Court or your lawyer may be able to assist you. These investigations are beyond the scope of what traditional outpatient therapy can provide. It is important to seek out someone who specializes in court related matters if this is a need you have.  

Teletherapy, also referred to as telemedicine, provides you with convenience. You will not have travel time or costs associated with driving to a clinic. This is a great option for those who work from home.  Clients may decide to do a combination of both in-person and teletherapy.  Teletherapy is an option as long as you are in Michigan.
