George Thompson

I am happy that you have chosen me to assist you in your journey of an improved quality of life and mental health. I received my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling from Walden University in December 2022 and have since spent my time providing person centered therapeutic services to individuals, groups, and families in substance use, anxiety, trauma, depression, PTSD, and grief as well as work to meet the professional counseling standards as established by the State of Michigan Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. My focus areas include stress management, family discord, trauma, racial discrimination, and oppositional behavior. I serve adolescents, teens, adults, and older adults.

My approach to therapy is to listen, be curious, and always put the client's needs, goals, and expectations first. My approach focuses on the use of, humor when appropriate, challenging of thoughts with compassion, and solution-focused problem solving.

The first session will consist of an introduction where I tell a bit about myself and my approach to therapy. After that the focus is completely on the client: What lead you to seeking services, what experience do you have with counseling, what has or hasn't worked for you in the past, what are your goals, and how can I benefit you the most currently?
