MyBody, PLLC Psychotherapy and Michigan Eating Disorder Services

Apr 2024

I have been seeing Alex for a few years for EMDR for complex trauma. We were tackling issues that have been entrenched for decades despite lots of past therapy. I feel in her a kindred spirit and she has had great empathy for my experience. I was surprised we didn't do a lot of actual eye movement but we did do a lot of what she calls resourcing which is basically using cognitive restructuring to build the resiliency framework necessary to do the harder work. She kept telling me to hang in there and trust the process. All I can say is, what we have been doing, has been effective beyond my wildest imaginings. I am so much more resilient and confident in my ability to handle challenges than I used to be. I was able to move from therapy into a serious Zen practice that has deepened my understanding of all the mind-body awareness things she has talked about over the years. Some issues I thought I would be living with for the rest of my life seem to have vanished. I don't even need weekly therapy anymore. It's true she does cancel a lot but my schedule has always been pretty flexible and she's always been willing to accommodate things that come up for me. When my son was diagnosed with a disability she was also able to pivot the focus of therapy and provide that support until I found another specialist in that area. She has a very flexible and receptive approach to therapy that works very well for me. I would recommend her to anyone with complex trauma as well as mothers of young children - she gets it!

My Body helped my kiddo to save herself from an eating disorder. The staff were compassionate and warm while also being honest with some very hard truths we needed to face. We utilized their individual services as well as their IOP program. Two years later my kiddo is doing so well. Cannot recommend their services enough!

I recommend MyBody to anyone in my life who is in need of therapy support. I have only ever had positive, helpful experiences with Alex and MyBody. Alex has helped me immensely as a therapist. She is organized, well prepared for each session, gracious, and supportive.
