  • We work with adults, children, teens, and couples who are motivated to make targeted changes in their lives. Our ideal clients are those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, feelings of inadequacy, or a sense of being lost and alone.

    We particularly connect with people who want to understand why they feel the way they do, not just manage symptoms. Our clients value a direct, focused approach that leads to lasting change rather than indefinite therapy.

  • We specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma (including physical and emotional abuse, childhood conditioning, and relationship abuse), loss/grief, marital issues, child behavioral concerns, autism/neurodiversity, life transitions, and low self-esteem. 

    Our therapists are skilled at helping clients understand the connection between their brain, body, and beliefs. Rather than just addressing symptoms, we work to uncover and resolve the root causes of your distress to help you achieve lasting peace and contentment.

  • Rightly Dividing Truth Counseling operates as an online therapy practice serving clients in Michigan, Virginia, and Florida. All of our sessions take place via secure telehealth platforms, allowing you to attend therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home. 

    This virtual approach eliminates travel time, increases accessibility, and gives you the flexibility to fit therapy into your busy schedule while receiving the same quality, personalized care you would expect from in-person sessions.

  • Our services are self-pay at $125-$135 per session. We have chosen not to work with insurance companies so that we can focus solely on what is best for our clients without external restrictions on treatment length or approach. This investment ensures you receive targeted, efficient therapy focused on resolving your concerns rather than maintaining them. 

    Rather than treating based on insurance regulations or textbooks, we see each client as a unique individual with specific needs. Our goal is to help you achieve peace, contentment, and a complete sense of self without years of unnecessary therapy.

    Remember: we are committed to not wasting your time or money. If we have not made progress in three sessions, we will reassess to ensure we are the right fit.

  • Not at all. Just because someone wants to better understand their life events and make positive change does not mean they are weak. 

    When you talk to a therapist, your information is kept confidential, and you are not going to be judged or condemned. Our therapists are professionals who take their role seriously. There is safety, not weakness, in keeping your thoughts in the therapy room.

  • As therapists, we take a slightly different approach to mental health. We are not against medications, but we do not believe that medications alone can solve all mental health issues.

    We believe that medication in conjunction with therapy can be extremely effective. Proper prescriptions can allow clients to gain control over their symptoms without becoming dependent.

    However, before we recommend medications, we spend time getting to know our clients and exploring all options so we can make the best treatment plan.

  • If you are interested in a free brief consultation, please email or call us. This is a free, no-obligation conversation where you can ask questions and get a better sense of our approach.

    When you schedule your first session (separate from the consultation), you will then receive an email asking you to complete paperwork (consents, demographics, and billing information). 

    On the day of the appointment, you will get a reminder and a link to join our session. Once you click on the link, we will “see” each other through your computer/device. 

    The first session is the intake, and we will cover all the information you wish to share. Then, we will decide if you would like to continue working with us and make future appointments.

  • Not at all a problem. We frequently check in with our clients to make sure they are comfortable and feel that they are making progress. If someone does not want to continue, we encourage them to talk with us so we can refer them to another therapist or take a break. We are never offended, nor do we respond negatively if someone wants to cease therapy.

  • HIPAA is one of my favorite acronyms. It stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. For therapy, it is an elegant way of saying that we cannot disclose any of your information without your written consent. Unless there is a threat to self or others (and some extreme court scenarios which we would discuss beforehand), we cannot confirm or deny that we know any of our clients without their written permission to do so.

    We take HIPAA very seriously, and we do not jeopardize our clients' privacy. If you have further questions, please review our Privacy Practices
