Many of us understand that therapy can be an effective way to treat mental health disorders, but counseling services can also be beneficial for those who are trying to overcome challenges, improve emotional well-being, and focus on personal growth. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Farmington Hills, MI may offer more options than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in cities. Under the greater umbrella of mental health practice, there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and approaches available. Which one will be most effective can depend on the challenge being addressed as well as personal preference. What you want or need may not be available in your area. For example, you may live near a therapist with extensive training in play therapy, but that won’t help if you are interested in pursuing dialectical behavior therapy. This is where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp is an online therapy platform that offers appointments with Farmington Hills-based professionals with expertise in a wide range of therapies from relationship counseling to CBT alongside depression or anxiety medication management. And because a strong therapeutic relationship can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home. 

Therapy offers tools and support that can improve not only emotional health and well-being, but even overall well-being.

ABOUT ME Hello! My name is Shawna and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Advanced Certified Trauma Practitioner with over fifteen years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: educational settings, intensive outpatient care, managing a private practice and organizations. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges from individual, group and family work. Originally from Seattle, I moved to Detroit, MI to continue my education and raise a family. I received my graduate degree in Clinical Social Work at Wayne State University in Detroit and my Educational Specialist post-graduate degree in Educational Leadership at Oakland University where I am currently a student in the PhD. program. My approach to therapy is client centered: clients are the experts on their lives and determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I support clients through developing skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation with the goal of moving clients towards a life involving the capacity for experiencing joy and freedom. Outside of my work as a therapist, I practice mindfulness to help me maintain balance. I also enjoy reading, biking and spending time with my family and pets traveling.

I’ve also helped many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive.

I believe that you already have the answers to what you need within you; and my role is to help facilitate bringing those answers to the surface by being supportive and helping you to feel empowered to change. It takes a lot of courage to seek a more gratifying and satisfying life and to begin to move toward change. (Nothing changes if nothing changes.)

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300

Is therapy worth it?

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.
