Michigan EMDR Therapy - Rachel Kornilakis
Treatment Center
Parenting can be deeply rewarding and also overwhelming, particularly when old stress patterns, anxiety, or unresolved experiences are activated. Therapy offers space to slow things down, understand triggers, and build more intentional and connected ways of responding within the family system.

Parenting
Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
I help parents—whether on their own or with a partner—meet the challenges of parenting with steadiness and clarity. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface—stress, uncertainty, and competing values—and turn that understanding into workable steps for communication, boundaries, and repair. The aim is durable change—less reactivity and second-guessing, more alignment, warmth, and confidence in how you respond to your children and, when pertinent, to one another.
