About Dr. Babushkin
As a highly trained and thoughtful therapist, I have a strong interest in helping you. Many people experience suffering and feel stuck in their efforts to get better. If you would like to find relief from your difficulties, I can help you. My approach is focused on compassionately working with you to reduce symptoms and achieve more emotional freedom and happiness.
I have successfully helped many clients develop inner strengths and resources that allow them to live richer, freer, and more rewarding lives. My advanced clinical training enables me to offer a therapeutic approach that is individually tailored to each person’s unique concerns.
I teach at Wayne State University School of Social Work and consult/present at various area businesses and organizations. My specialized training through the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute allows me to help people from various backgrounds (students, academic/business professionals, people in the medical field, etc).
Unique Approach to Therapy
Connecting with each client is a vital part of my practice, unlike some providers in mental health, I view each person as important and not just “a number“. I find that checking in regularly with clients about their goals and current satisfaction helps foster a trusting client/provider relationship focused on individual growth. Also, I find it important to work with each person in identifying any barriers that may be present which could hinder therapy and medication from “doing their job“. I firmly believe that positive mental health and well-being does not happen in “a vacuum”, but many factors affect this, therefore a holistic approach is required to achieve lasting results.
Specialized & Extended Training
What makes Anton Babushkin stand out is his high level of education and experience. He, along with all Start My Wellness therapists, attends at least 120 hours of extensive ongoing training and personal development per year in treating anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship problems. This rigorous instruction differentiates Anton from others in the field and allows him to provide the highest quality of service to patients.
