Connect with Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapy in Portage, MI

I am a Social Worker with 35 years of experience. I have worked with clients/couples with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship issues, domestic abuse, intimacy issues, parenting problems, medical issues, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and military issues.

I am Dana Kremidas, LMSW. Anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, and other issues can affect your daily living and feelings of self-worth. Whatever makes you seek therapy, I can help you with a non-judgmental and compassionate attitude. I am on your side and want you to get better, so you can live your best life.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Adlerian therapy, and Person-Centered therapy to create a supportive space where clients can explore their strengths and build self-esteem.

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.

Life comes with a lot of pressure, and it is easy to get caught up in self-doubt or anxiety. I support teens and adults as they process trauma, face big life transitions, and build up their confidence. Our sessions can be a collaborative space to learn practical coping strategies and create a growth plan that fits your unique life.

Reaching out to therapy is a meaningful first step. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides a grounded, affirming, and collaborative approach to therapy, specializing in life transitions, trauma, career stress, perfectionism, and women's issues.

I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help my clients develop coping strategies and achieve their goals.

At times, everyone worries about situations in their life. At times, everyone feels sad, and they do not know why. If either of these scenarios applies to you, then I have the services to help you.

I use CBT, trauma focused approaches, and solution-focused therapy to help people build real skills not just insight.

I actively approach therapy. I tend to give guidance, suggest techniques to make the way to success smoother, and offer “homework” to practice those techniques between sessions. After all, change is most helpful when it happens both in and out of the therapy room. (Don’t worry; this “homework” doesn’t lead to grades or tests!)

Life is hard at times. Therapy is a deeply personal experience where we work together to help you set goals, identify your needs, and develop the tools for lasting change.

I work with individuals navigating mental health challenges and overall well-being, creating a space where you can focus on what matters most to you.

I work with clients navigating substance use, domestic violence, and trauma. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I have experience supporting veteran clients and understand the unique challenges they face.

Welcome! You are so brave taking the step towards improving your overall well-being, starting with how you think, feel, and act. I look forward to an opportunity to work together with you to reach your personal, professional, and relationship goals.

You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain your existence—where your pain is honored, your joy is celebrated, and your healing is prioritized. I support Black women navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, and identity shifts with a culturally affirming, trauma-informed approach that centers your truth and restores your power.

I'm dedicated to helping you navigate the personal challenges that arise from living in an increasingly complex world. I bring a diverse background working earnestly with various populations to address issues of trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, anxiety, marital conflicts, separation and divorce.

Difficult circumstances do not dictate your life's outcome. You can do something every day that your future self will thank you for. To know now is the time and to make a change by entering psychotherapy is huge.

I am a therapist working in the area of mental health and chemical dependency treatment. I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of clinical issues and individuals.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I encourage you to reach out. Let’s work together toward healing and growth.

I am licensed in Michigan as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Certification (CAADC).

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma.

I am a therapist with over 15 years of experience in community mental health centers, schools, crisis centers, and outpatient therapy offices, with teens and adults. I use a person-centered approach to therapy where you, the client, are the expert, and I am here to support you on your journey to cope with life's struggles.

I work with adults coping with anxiety, depression, substance misuse, or a history of childhood abuse. No matter what issue you're facing, you are not your problem and you are not your pain. Let's work together to find your strength and resilience.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or hopeless? You're not alone. I regularly help clients with anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions with compassion and curiosity. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in life on your terms.
