Services that Strengthen Families
Is your child struggling with developmental, intellectual, emotional, or behavioral challenges? We know how frustrating it must be for them. As a parent, are you stressed, overwhelmed, grieving, just can’t connect the dots? You are not alone. Our team of seasoned board-certified psychologists, therapists, counselors, and case managers are here for you and your family.
Well-being for the whole family. Our integrated approach to wellness considers the whole family and the whole child + whole-body health (mental and physical). We partner with you to ensure you have the tools and resources needed to craft your own personal plan of action. We are here to support you in creating a positive, nurturing family dynamic where everyone feels safe and connected; where all family members are physically healthy as possible; and all are empowered with the strength to effectively manage life stressors.
Outpatient options: Our four warm, friendly centers have slowly and safely re-opened (Dearborn, Inkster, Livonia & Westland). Virtually visit our Partnering with Parents Center, located in Dearborn.
Home-based & Telecounseling options: We also offer therapy in the comfort of your home and we can connect through “Telecounseling.” This means maintaining a nurturing relationship via phone and/or video.
