Counseling and Therapy in Marquette, MI
There's a difference between venting to a friend and doing real therapeutic work. Our licensed counselors and therapists in Marquette provide evidence-based care that goes beyond just talking. We dig into what's actually driving the pain and we give you tools to change it.
​
Our therapy sessions are built around you. Not a cookie-cutter treatment plan. Not a one-size-fits-all approach. Real, individualized therapy that meets you where you are right now.
​
We work with adults dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and chronic stress, depression and low mood, trauma and PTSD, life transitions and identity questions, relationship and family stress, unexpected DNA results and non-paternity events, and prenatal, perinatal, and postpartum mental health.
​
If you've been putting off getting help because you're not sure what kind of therapy you need, that's okay. That's what the free phone consultation is for. We'll figure it out together.
Trauma Therapy and EMDR in Marquette
Trauma doesn't always look like what people expect. Sometimes it's a car accident. Sometimes it's a childhood you've never talked about out loud. Sometimes it's something that happened last year that you can't stop replaying in your head.
​
Whatever your experience, our therapists in Marquette are trained to help you process it safely without re-traumatizing you in the process.
​
One of the most effective tools we use is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a research-backed therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they stop controlling your daily life.
​
People in Marquette and across the Upper Peninsula often come to us having tried talk therapy that didn't quite get to the root of things. EMDR often reaches places that traditional therapy doesn't.
​
Here's what EMDR looks like in practice: Your therapist guides you through a series of bilateral stimulation exercises while you briefly hold a difficult memory in mind.
Over time, the emotional charge attached to that memory decreases. It doesn't erase what happened but it changes the way your brain stores it.
​
EMDR is effective for single-incident trauma such as accidents, assaults, and losses, complex and childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety rooted in past experiences, and phobias.
​
If you're in Marquette and looking for trauma therapy or EMDR specifically, we'd love to talk. The free consultation is a good first step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: We accept most major insurance plans. We recommend calling us before your first appointment so we can verify your coverage and walk you through any out-of-pocket costs. We never want insurance to be the reason someone doesn't get help.
​
Q: Do you offer telehealth?
A: Yes. We offer secure video therapy sessions for clients throughout the Upper Peninsula. If you're in Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn, Munising, or anywhere else in the U.P. and can't make the drive to Marquette, telehealth is a full and effective option, not a lesser one.
​
Q: How do I get started?
A: The first step is a free phone consultation. There's no commitment and no paperwork. You talk to someone on our team, share a little about what's going on, and we figure out together whether we're the right fit. If we are, we'll get your first appointment scheduled. If we're not, we'll do our best to point you in the right direction.
​
Q: What types of therapy do you offer?
A: We offer individual therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD, postpartum and perinatal mental health, unexpected DNA results and non-paternity event counseling, and life transitions. We also use EMDR, a research-backed method for processing trauma that goes deeper than traditional talk therapy.
​
Q: How long are sessions?
A: Most therapy sessions run 50 to 55 minutes. Your therapist will work with you to find a frequency that fits your schedule and your goals. Some clients come weekly, others every other week. We build the plan around what actually works for your life.
​
Q: Do I need a referral?
A: No referral needed. You can reach out to us directly, request a free consultation online or by phone, and we'll take it from there. If your insurance requires a referral for coverage purposes, we can help you figure that out during your consultation call.
