We understand that each person’s journey is unique, and we are committed to offering personalized care that meets individual needs.
Individual Therapy: A Personalized Approach
Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a cornerstone of our services. We offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, carefully chosen to suit each client’s needs and preferences. These include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This highly effective therapy helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health challenges. CBT is particularly useful for treating anxiety, depression, and other conditions. At Apex Behavioral Health Westland, our therapists are trained in CBT and tailor it to meet the unique challenges of each client.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): This specialized therapy, often used for individuals struggling with intense emotions, self-harm, and relationship difficulties, focuses on developing skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. We have skilled therapists who specialize in DBT, offering individual sessions and skills training groups.
Psychodynamic Therapy: This therapy explores the unconscious mind and past experiences to understand how they impact current behaviors and relationships. This approach can be helpful for individuals seeking deeper self-understanding and exploring unresolved issues.
Other Therapeutic Modalities: Our therapists are also trained in other therapeutic modalities, allowing them to provide a customized approach that addresses individual needs.
We provide a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our therapists work collaboratively with clients, empowering them to develop coping skills, build resilience, and achieve their personal goals. We address a wide range of issues, including:
Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, etc.)
Depressive disorders
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Grief and loss
Relationship difficulties
Stress management
Self-esteem issues
Life transitions
Group Therapy: Building a Supportive Community
Group therapy provides a unique opportunity for individuals to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. At Apex Behavioral Health Westland, we offer a variety of group therapy programs, each designed to address specific needs and foster a sense of community and support. Group therapy offers several benefits, including:
Reduced feelings of isolation: Sharing experiences with others can help individuals feel less alone and more understood.
Learning from others: Observing how others cope with challenges and receive feedback can provide valuable insights and new perspectives.
Developing social skills: Group therapy provides a safe environment to practice communication skills, build relationships, and learn to navigate social situations.
Receiving support and encouragement: The support and encouragement from group members can be invaluable during difficult times.

Family Therapy: Strengthening Relationships
Family therapy is an essential service at Apex Behavioral Health Westland. We recognize that family dynamics play a significant role in mental health and well-being. Family therapy aims to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. This therapy is often beneficial when a family member is struggling with a mental health issue, or when the family is facing other challenges, such as:
Communication difficulties
Conflict resolution
Parenting issues
Divorce or separation
Blended family adjustments
Our family therapists work with the entire family, or specific family members, to:
Identify unhealthy patterns of interaction
Develop more effective communication skills
Set healthy boundaries
Improve understanding and empathy
Resolve conflicts in a constructive manner
Support each other during times of stress
Medication Management: A Collaborative Approach

Assess their needs
Prescribe and monitor medications
Provide education about medications and their potential side effects
Collaborate with other healthcare providers, including primary care physicians
We understand that medication is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and we work collaboratively with our clients to find the most effective and safe approach to medication management. We also emphasize the importance of therapy in conjunction with medication, recognizing that a holistic approach often yields the best results.
Additional Services: Comprehensive Support
We may offer additional services, depending on the needs of the community and the availability of resources. It’s always best to inquire directly for the most up-to-date offerings. These might include:
Psychological testing and assessments (to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning)
