Beverly Wilkerson, LISW — Therapist in Michigan

Hi there, I'm Beverly!

Initiating therapy represents a significant decision. I commend your commitment to personal growth and am dedicated to supporting you throughout this process. My expertise includes assisting clients with life transitions, depression, anxiety, and grief.

My focus

Do you struggle with anxiety or self-doubt? I support young adults facing anxiety, life changes, and self-esteem challenges. Together, we'll build coping skills and create an empowering plan for your growth.

My approach

I employ motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to assist clients in recognizing and modifying unhelpful thought patterns. This method is interactive and equips individuals with practical tools to manage emotions and behaviors effectively.

My communication style

I focus on clear and open communication to maintain an environment free from judgment. I use active listening techniques and provide opportunities for reflection as part of the process. When addressing challenges, I remain calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in therapy began with a desire to understand resilience and help others overcome challenges. I believe everyone can grow and change, and seeing clients thrive is deeply rewarding.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative process where we set goals that matter to you, adapting them as your needs or insights change. I'll provide support and tools to help you progress, even through challenges.

Our first session

Our first session is for introductions. We'll review your background and reasons for coming to therapy. It's normal to feel nervous, but we'll proceed step by step, and I'll guide you throughout the process.
