About

Tempo Counseling is a private mental health practice offering personalized therapy for a wide variety of mental health challenges in a warm, safe, and supportive setting. Located in Royal Oak, Michigan, clients can meet in-person or via telehealth anywhere in the state. Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or practical tools for change, we're here to help you move forward at your pace.

Tempo offers individual private therapy, couples/relationship counseling, support groups, and hosts a Collective of independent clinicians supporting each other in meaningful ways that help us all improve the quality of services we provide to clients. 

As the practice founder/owner, my aim is to provide exceptional care to every client. I'm here to offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your current challenges and examine past experiences to move through them toward a less burdened version of yourself. 

If you're struggling and want to explore therapy services - reach out whenever you're ready. The next step is a short phone chat to see if we're a good fit for you. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey.

Mission

Tempo Counseling's mission is to provide exceptional mental health care to clients in ways that help foster overall well-being and movement toward positive outcomes that align with each client's individual needs, values, and goals.

Vision

Client well-being is at the heart of every therapeutic and business decision made. By keeping clients' needs at the forefront, our work together will be rooted in a therapeutic relationship built upon collaboration and trust; is dedicated to nurturing holistic wellness; and executed with respect for all clients' autonomy, identity, culture, sexual orientation, and personal belief systems. 

Values

My professional values include adhering to the legal and liability parameters set for professional practice and licensure in the state of Michigan. In addition, my clinical values align with the American Counseling Association’s Code of Ethics for professional counselors, which lists the following core values and principles for ethical commitment in its preamble:

• Enhancing human development throughout the lifespan.
• Honoring diversity and embracing a multicultural approach in support of the worth, dignity, potential, and uniqueness of people within their social and cultural contexts.
• Promoting social justice.
• Safeguarding the integrity of the counselor–client relationship.
• Practicing in a competent and ethical manner. 

These professional values provide a conceptual basis for the ethical principles enumerated below. These principles are the foundation for ethical behavior and decision making. The fundamental principles of professional ethical behavior are:

• Autonomy, or fostering the right to control the direction of one’s life
• Non-maleficence, or avoiding actions that cause harm
• Beneficence, or working for the good of the individual and society by promoting mental health and well-being
• Justice, or treating individuals equitably and fostering fairness and equality
• Fidelity, or honoring commitments and keeping promises, including fulfilling one’s responsibilities of trust in professional relationships
• Veracity, or dealing truthfully with individuals with whom counselors come into professional contact
