Hedlun Walton

I have been a licensed professional counselor in Michigan for over 20 years. I have worked with clients on a range of concerns including self-fulfillment, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting problems. I tactfully infuse humor when possible and therapeutically effective. My approach combines the patience and empathy of client centered therapy when you need a sounding board with the results oriented approach of cognitive-behavioral or solution-focused therapy when you are seeking a change in your life. We will work together to establish expectations and a treatment plan to meet your individual therapeutic goals.

I use a client-centered approach that seeks to listen first and validate you wherever possible. I acknowledge that our information and perceptions can be limited, however, and gently introduce new ways of understanding your past, interacting with your present, and shaping your future. I like to help clients make small behavioral changes that will translate to more effective thoughts and feelings.

In our first session it is helpful for me to hear what motivated you to seek support at this time and get some context for your concerns. I do my best to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you feel comfortable so we can work on your goals together.
