Therapy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
In Bloomfield Hills, many individuals approach personal experiences with a level of privacy that is deeply intentional. What is held internally is often held quietly — not because it is unimportant, but because discretion is part of how one moves through the world, and how one weighs where to bring something deeper.
We provide psychotherapy services to individuals in Bloomfield Hills and throughout Michigan, offering specialized care that is discreet, carefully paced, and built around long-term trust.

How Services Are Delivered
Services are primarily delivered through secure telehealth, allowing for greater consistency, privacy, and flexibility without the limitations of travel or local availability.
In-person appointments may be available on a limited basis within Michigan when clinically appropriate.
We serve individuals in Bloomfield Hills and surrounding Oakland County communities, offering care that is both accessible and consistent.
What Brings People to Therapy
People often reach out when something internal has been carried for a long time, and they are looking for a space where it can be addressed thoughtfully and without exposure.
We work with individuals navigating:
- complex trauma that has not had a clear place to be addressed
- long-standing patterns that have not shifted with time or effort
- medical or health-related experiences that quietly impact emotional life
- life transitions held privately, including those that affect identity or family role
- relational dynamics shaped by something that has not been spoken
- emotional weight carried for years without a place to set it down
Bloomfield Hills is a community where privacy is deeply valued. Many residents hold visible professional, family, or community responsibilities, and what is carried alongside those roles is not always something one looks to share broadly. Finding care that combines genuine clinical depth with the level of discretion one expects is often more difficult than it should be — and many individuals delay reaching out, not for lack of interest, but because the right fit has not been clear.
Approach
Our work is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches that support deeper processing, emotional regulation, and meaningful change over time.
We focus on steady, consistent care that allows underlying patterns to be understood and worked through, at a pace that is appropriate to the person and the material.
What This Work Involves
This includes:
- processing experiences that continue to carry emotional weight
- understanding patterns that persist despite insight or effort
- supporting regulation when internal systems feel overwhelmed
- working through the emotional impact of chronic or complex health conditions
- navigating transitions that affect identity, roles, or relationships
Specialized Care Available to Bloomfield/Bloomfield Hills Residents
Heart and Mind Counseling specializes in a clinical pattern that is common in Bloomfield Hills but often under-addressed: individuals who function effectively in visible roles while carrying significant internal experience that has not had a private, specialized space to be worked with. This is a distinct presentation, and it requires clinicians trained to recognize and work with it directly.
We work extensively with complex PTSD and long-standing trauma in adults who have developed strong external functioning over many years. The work is unhurried and carefully paced, and the deeper material is approached only as trust and readiness allow.
For individuals receiving care through Corewell Health, Henry Ford Health, or other regional medical systems for chronic illness or congenital heart disease, we provide therapy that specifically addresses the emotional and identity dimensions of long-term health management — including the more personal experiences of grief, relational change, and the quiet weight of living with a condition over time. Heart and Mind Counseling is believed to be one of the only therapy practices in the country with multiple clinicians specializing in the mental health needs of individuals living with congenital heart disease and chronic illness.
We also support late-diagnosed adults with ADHD who have built effective workarounds while continuing to manage the underlying experience, along with individuals navigating OCD, dissociative experiences, eating disorders, and complex anxiety — conditions that frequently present in high-functioning adults and require specialized clinical training to address effectively.
Our clinical approaches include:
We welcome individuals across all relationship structures, backgrounds, and identities — including those in polyamorous relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does telehealth therapy work?
Telehealth sessions happen over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform — much like a regular therapy session, just from wherever you feel most comfortable. You’ll get a private link before each appointment, and most clients tell us they actually prefer it: no commute, more privacy, and easier scheduling around real life.
Is therapy just as effective via telehealth as in person?
Yes. Research over the past decade has consistently shown that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person care for most conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and complex trauma. For many people, it’s actually more sustainable long-term — easier to keep appointments, less disruption to daily life, and a sense of safety that comes from doing the work in your own space.
Can EMDR and Brainspotting be done via telehealth, and is it as effective as in person?
Yes — and this surprises a lot of people. Both EMDR and Brainspotting have been studied and adapted for telehealth delivery, and outcomes are comparable to in-person sessions when delivered by a trained clinician. Trauma work is one of our practice’s deepest specializations — our team includes multiple clinicians trained in EMDR (led by a Certified EMDR practitioner), a Brainspotting-trained clinician, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and a clinician certified in Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), with somatic approaches integrated throughout our trauma work. This means we can match the right modality and clinician to what each person actually needs.
I’ve maintained a strong professional and personal life while quietly carrying something more complex underneath. Can therapy help with that?
Yes — this is a pattern we work with frequently. Many of our Bloomfield Hills clients have built lives that look stable while privately managing trauma, long-standing patterns, or experiences that haven’t had a discreet space to be addressed. The work is paced thoughtfully, the deeper material is approached only as trust and readiness allow, and the level of clinical depth often goes well beyond what general therapy practices offer.
How is client privacy handled, especially for clients who value discretion?
Privacy is one of the reasons many Bloomfield Hills clients choose us specifically. All sessions happen through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, and because we’re fully telehealth-based for most clients, there’s no waiting room, no office sign-in, and no chance of being seen by someone who knows you. Many of our clients tell us this level of discretion is something they couldn’t get from in-person, location-based therapy in the area.
