Growing up fatherless is a struggle far too many of our young boys face today. Angry, resentful, confused, uncertain and often unmotivated, many young men just plainly need someone to talk to, relate with, and help them deal with their “STUCK” point. I focus on how to deal with internal/external conflict, while understanding that you can have a self-fulfilling life. Odis Bellinger has completed extensive research on conflict resolution, violence prevention and socio-economic issues affecting primarily African-American males. He conducts trainings focusing primarily on building African American male developement. He has been recognized locally/nationally for his research, and strategies for young MALE SUCCESS. If you have a young male age 8-18 or know a man 18- up who need guidance from a passionate and empathetic counselor who is a “graduate” of many of the issues that our males face today, then please consider Odis Bellinger MA,LLPC. Thanks for your consideration. [Read More]

I provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults, adolescents/children and their families.

My psychodynamic approach helps you to find the source of your suffering and to discover new ways to cope. In a safe, private setting, I can help you to begin to talk about yourself and your life. My expertise is working with problems such as depression, anxiety, dysfunctional patterns of behavior, and painful past childhood experiences.

Dr. Everette, author of Finding and Keeping Romantic Love: Relationship Tips for People Over 50, uses mindfulness, yoga practices, and traditional psychotherapy to help clients create greater balance, control, effectiveness, and joy in life. Psychotherapy address problems that are psychological in nature, e.g., depression, anxiety, and other mood disturbance. . In contrast, the coaching process addresses specific areas of concern, e.g., personal projects, business successes, career direction, health and health and wellness concerns, relationship issues, and helps the client take positive actions to achieve the identified goals. I specialize in relationship counseling/coaching. Sometimes that involves working with both people in the relationship. At other times, when both people are not available, benefits can be attained working with one member of the couple. Homework is an essential part of the process. Everette and Associates is located in the historical Sibley House in the Rivertown section of Detroit. Yogic techniques, meditation, yoga postures, and breath work can be incorporated for those who wish. Weekend and evening appointments are available. [Read More]
