Psychotherapy

Your decision to seek psychotherapy or life coaching heralds a turning point in your life!  In our fast paced society, people often seek professional guidance to remain on an even keel.  I strive to improve the overall quality of life and dedicate myself to expertise in my field.  I am committed to the education required to stay on the leading edge of the exploration and discovery of human potential.  If I can help you or someone you care about, call today for immediate assistance, information, or an appointment.  (248) 336-2133.

Psychotherapy - all appointments are confidential
Individual therapy helps you gain insight into the cause of  your problems and seek positive alternatives.  Couples counseling provides an area where two people can learn to communicate individual needs and negotiate a healthy partnership.  Family counseling helps family members gain an understanding of disruptive problems. Improved communication skills provide new ways to reach solutions that lead to greater family harmony.  Therapeutic supports are available for adolescents and adults.

Oakland County Private Practice Network & Support Group

(OCPPNS),  Beverly J. Patchett founder and director.

We are a vibrant group interested in supporting each other with group or one-on-one discussion directed to the various aspects of private practice.  One hour presentations cover various therapies, mental health issues, and topics that support individuals in the process of opening a clinical private practice.  Discussion topics at our meetings cover issues such as licensure, client stigma and laws that may or may not be in the best interest of our clients and what we as clinicians may do to change them.  Our meetings are from 7:00 p.m.  to 9:00 p.m. the second Monday every other month.  We meet for the purpose of networking and supporting all private practitioners in the mental health field.  You do not have to be a NASW member to attend.  Those interested in opening a private practice are encouraged to join us.  Advanced registration necessary to ensure seating is available. Continuing Education Workshops (One/Two CE)  are held: February, April, June, August, October and December.
