About Us

Stacey R. Krause, LMSW, ACSW, GC-C, CCTP, CCATP
Couples Therapy/counseling Michigan

As a passionate Licensed Masters Level Social Worker, I have been working with individuals and couples for 26 years. My specialties include communication skills, anger management, grief, self-harm, relationship issues, parenting, depression, bi-polar and adjustment disorders. My many years of experience allows me to understand the best ways to address each client’s needs in an effective manner. I am flexible in my approach and use collaboration as the basis of my therapy—ensuring a comfortable, safe environment where we can work together on your goals. I believe everyone deserves to be listened to, heard and respected as individuals. I use humor (as appropriate), compassion and empathy when dealing with individuals and couples. Therapy can be a very scary first step. My goal is to make your experience fulfilling, supportive and stress free. I would be honored to walk with you along your journey of growth and healing.

I believe people are complex and beautiful in their own unique ways. Have you ever taken a moment to notice the vast differences among others in public? Individuality is beautiful, but at times it is these very differences that can create challenges in our lives. These challenges can make it difficult to understand ourselves – our thoughts, emotions, and how they influence our behaviors. As a therapist with a modern-Rogerian approach, I became an outpatient therapist because of my lived experience and a deep understanding that life is not perfect. However, with the right support and a shift in perspective, we can cultivate greater self-awareness and flexibility, we can build a more fulfilling future. My approach is rooted in the core principles of Person-Centered therapy. This means you are the expert of your life, and I value your unique experiences and goals. I act as a supportive guide, walking alongside you as you explore your inner world. Together, we'll create a safe space for you to express yourself authentically, fostering self-compassion and understanding. I also integrate other techniques like mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). These strategies can help you manage challenging emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, process a traumatic event(s), and build resilience for a brighter tomorrow.

 

If you're ready to embrace your unique potential and create the life you deserve, I invite you to contact me. Together, we can explore how therapy can support your journey toward greater well-being. Therapeutic Modalities: CBT, DBT, EMDR, positive psychotherapy, and solution-focused therapy.
