“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” ― Thomas A. Edison talking about his attempts to invent the light bulb. At times we feel that we are failing. In our relationships, our jobs, day-to-day struggles or life itself. However, often our so-called "failed attempts" are crucial steps towards increased well-being and healing. In more than 18 years as a marital and family therapist I have been continuously inspired by clients' creativity, resilience and curiosity in bringing about that healing.

I specialize in two areas, relationship therapy and OCD/Hoarding/Anxiety disorders. Gottman's approach with its emphasis on constructive conflict resolution, strengthening friendship and creating shared meaning offers practical strategies in building successful relationships. For OCD/Hoarding/Anxiety disorders I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 

Therapy is an exciting and vibrant partnership between therapist and client(s). I commit to this relationship my knowledge, expertise and creativity to support you through the challenges that brought you to therapy. I offer both daytime and evening appointments, and for OCD/Hoarding clients also home visits.

Abby Simpson

My goal is to help clients become the best version of themselves. This might involve exploring values, challenging your negative thinking, overcoming personal challenges, or talking through relationship issues. My approach is to first get to know you in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Once that is established, we then work on a common goal to help improve your daily functioning. I will collaborate with you to assure that the treatment you are getting is what you are seeking. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety related problems. 

I strive to help my clients overcome personal and relational obstacles, take emotional risks, and build healthy and meaningful relationships going forward. I utilize goal-oriented and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP).

Danny Miller

My primary clinical approach is research-based, but I am compassionate, caring, and spiritual at the heart. My practice - Healing Songs Therapy - is so named because I believe every person has a story to tell that either supports or distorts their healing identity. And that identity is at the base of so many issues we face. This will be a common theme we come back to throughout the course of our treatment.  

I offer guided EX/RP (exposure and response prevention) and CBT for OCD, using the Y-BOCS to measure symptom severity. Many people with OCD also suffer from trauma or depression. If there is either an acute or complex trauma component to your OCD, I may also work with you to come up with a plan for addressing that using EMDR or another validated trauma-based therapy.

Dr. Jude Black

I am passionate about being an interactive, supportive, and (gently) challenging therapist. Our busy lives leave us little time to process emotions, leaving disappointments, fears, resentment and pain no outlet until they reach overwhelming levels. I focus on earning your trust so that we can grapple with these difficult issues together. Using psychoanalytic theory as a foundation, I integrate evidenced based interventions to customize a treatment that is both effective and tailored to you. My approach focuses on creating lasting change to help you live a more thoughtful, fulfilling, and rewarding life. 

I am not a "bobble-head" therapist. I provide every individual or organization with solid tools and a focused plan in order to build lives that are rewarding and relationships to be proud of. I fuse ideas from different theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Psychodynamic (EMDR), Hypnotherapy, Existentialism, Functional Theory, and Transformational Leadership Theory with strength-based life coaching to provide an approach that is compassionate while being results oriented.  

​

This is absolutely and totally ALL ABOUT YOU! You are terminally unique and I strive to meet you exactly where you are. This is when true healing and change begins.

Jon Lewis

I focus on mindful listening to help identify challenges people are facing and how to overcome them.  The world is constantly changing, and we are doing our best to adapt but we all need time to stop and take a breath.  Having time to process our emotions and assess where we want to be in life can help us feel more at peace. Together my clients and I will tailor evidence-based interventions to best meet their needs and help them have a more fulfilling and satisfying life.  I have seen clients find success as we work together to identify personal strengths and develop positive coping skills.  Therapy time is your time.

Caitlyn Woodhouse

I use an advanced method of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) called TEAM-CBT that was developed by Dr. David Burns. This evidenced based treatment combines the empathic support of talk therapy with over 50 different methods to help you overcome life’s challenges. We will track your progress using before and after session surveys and work together in a structured way, so you can meet your goals as quickly as possible. I am optimistic that by the end of treatment you will leave feeling better and equipped with tools and a plan to help yourself get unstuck in the future.

I work with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, and OCD. I tailor treatment to meet your goals, using a combination of CBT to help challenge your self-defeating beliefs, and possibly exposure/ERP in order to help you conquer your anxiety.

My approach requires a commitment from you to learn and practice skills learned in session. I feel excited when people come to session ready to seek change, and practice the skills. I provide a caring, fun, and safe environment to do this work. Please contact me for a free consultation.

Hannah Kanter, LMSW

You have a hard time asking for help. Everyone else's needs usually come first. Worried thoughts replay themselves in your head all of the time. Making the outside look good is easy. Inside it feels like parts of you are trapped in the past. You grew up with a parent who struggled with workaholism, addiction and/or mental illness. You want to move on from those bad experiences, but you feel stuck. The coping tools you learned in childhood to keep yourself safe and afloat are starting to rust. It’s time for new skills to add to your self-care toolbox.

Julie Vierling

Just “one last time,” you say to yourself. You have been telling yourself this same lie for years, hoping and praying that this time it will be true. Resisting the urge to check feels so impossible, but it seems like your only option is to give in. The OCD tells you that if you do the ritual just one more time, the anxiety will go away. Although you know logically that your fears are irrational, you cannot stop them, and the feelings of panic and dread take over your mind. You crave just a moment of freedom from the grips of the obsession.

My name is Julie, and I am a licensed social worker with nearly 30 years of experience and specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I also specialize in working with those who are experiencing other obsessive type disorders such as trichotillomania, excoriation, and hoarding. By working together in therapy, your life will no longer be dominated by obsessive thoughts and compulsions. You will no longer feel helpless or as though your thoughts and feelings are controlling you. You will be able to leave the house without checking the doors or fear of contamination.

It is possible to live a life free from obsessions and compulsions. I believe that we are all doing the best we can on any given day. I am here to support you every step of the way. Call 248-607-0887 or click here for a free 15-minute consultation so OCD can no longer control your life.
