Everyone has troubles, but you shouldnt let them take over your life. If you find yourself consumed by depression, relationship issues or stress, talk with Bruce G. Douglass, PhD, PC. Dr. Douglass works closely with you on identifying issues, designing, coping exercises, building skill sets, and implementing healing approaches that improve your day-to-day life. Dr. Douglass is a Michigan-licensed psychologist with years of professional practice treating both adults and adolescents. Contact him today and take a step towards mental health. By talking with a professional therapist, you can get a fresh perspective on the issues you deal with every day: depression, anxiety, relationships, body image, grief, stress, and more. Working with Dr. Douglass, you will develop coping skills that give you a better understanding of yourself, your relationships, your self-esteem, and how to improve things like communication, listening, and problem solving. Your sessions with Dr. Douglass will vary according to your situation and how prepared you are to deal with it. Generally, youll discuss both your personal history and current life events. If youve been to previous therapy sessions, youll also track the progress youve seen. Whether you will need one session or multiple meetings with Dr. Douglass, it will be determined by you and the doctor. Often weekly meetings are suggested, but the fact that you are seeking help indicates that you are already on the road to making positive changes in your life. Your physician usually determines what medication you should be taking. However, an approach that integrates meds with therapy often reaches wellness goals more quickly and with longer-term results than medicine alone. You cant escape dealing with others, but many things can complicate those necessary relationships: expectations, past experiences, even your physical health. Dr. Douglass can help you understand your situation and identify any unhealthy interactions you may have.
