What is counseling?

Counseling is a collaboration between you and your counselor to improve your life circumstances, mental health, and relationships. During sessions, your counselor guides you through a conversation to identify your challenges and gives you the tools you need to overcome them.

Pure Psychiatry of Michigan offers several types of counseling, including:

Individual counseling

Individual counseling guides those facing challenges in relationships, careers, and other areas of their life. Counseling offers tools that support decision-making and the management of anger, depression, anxiety, and other issues.

Couples counseling

Couples counseling provides support for the family unit. Counselors work closely with loved ones to improve communication, address conflict, and enhance the overall family dynamic.

Group counseling

Group counseling assists groups of individuals facing similar challenges to understand that they aren’t alone in life. Peer groups learn from each other under the guidance of a skilled counselor. Sessions often cover domestic violence, anger management, and substance abuse.
