Grief counselors and therapists in Michigan

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a University of Michigan graduate, and my

area of expertise is co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Over the course of

my career, I have worked with individuals navigating addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and

the complex challenges that arise when these conditions intersect. I believe that healing

happens in a space where you feel genuinely safe and understood, and I am committed to

providing exactly that. I would love to work alongside you as you move toward the life you

deserve.

Yehuda, a graduate of Wurzweiler School of Social Work, works as a clinical therapist and a school-based social worker. He is passionate about helping adults of all ages reach their full potential. To that end, he employs psychoanalytical and psychodynamic perspectives to help clients learn more about themselves. His patient-centered and humanistic approach focuses on the evolving relationship between the therapist and client providing the client the time and space to grow at their own pace. Yehuda works hard to provide a safe space for clients to share or to simply be themselves. Yehuda works with clients from a variety of backgrounds who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, or those who simply want to learn more about themselves. Outside of work hours, Yehuda can be found spending time with his family, cooking, or enjoying the great outdoors.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or anxious? Do you find yourself overthinking or worrying about any and everything? Do you experience a rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, dry mouth and shaking? Feeling on edge, irritable or tense? All these things keep you from enjoying your life. They hold you back in your career or in relationships or other areas of life. You want to feel at ease and less stressed out. You want to go after what you want without second guessing yourself.

I help client's develop life-changing habits that allow them to cope with any of life’s various obstacles that provokes anxiety. During therapy sessions we will work together to identify goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. You'll receive tools that you can start using today and the validation and care that you deserve.

You will find a supportive, non judgmental, safe space to share. Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so I can answer any questions you have before we get started.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.
