Why Would Your Primary Care Physician Want You To See a Start My Wellness Provider?
We are located in Ferndale and see people online and in person. That means if you live nearby, Royal Oak, Berkley, Southfield, Detroit, Birmingham, you are less than 15 min drive away. If you live anywhere else in Michigan, you can easily see us online. Author: Anton Babushkin, Ph.D., LMSW
Tips for Finding a Child Therapist
Finding a professional, thoughtful, and well-suited therapist for your child or family should not be a chore. We’re happy to assist in making the beginning processes of connecting with one of our therapists pleasant and easy. Author: Jordan Reynolds, LLMSW
Why Is Being Able To Quickly Schedule An Appointment Important?
So what does all of this have to do with being able to quickly schedule appointments? Starting or resuming treatment is an important step on the way towards improvement in self-care. The skills of caring for oneself (including one’s emotional health) are usually best learned in the context of a good relationship. Therapy offers this unique opportunity.

Good News, Bad News, Good News
Lastly, the good news is, my company, Start My Wellness, has recently relocated close to downtown Troy. We are excited to be in a location that is convenient to many of our neighbors in Royal Oak, Berkley, Southfield, Birmingham, and Detroit, and the best part is, we have many therapists and psychiatric nurse practitioners ready to see new patients in person and online appointments.

How to Make the Most of New Year Resolutions and Intentions
Reflecting on her successes over the past year – and even the things she maintained without improving – helped her feel more competent and ready for the next challenge. She needed to continue choosing her own healing, even when it was hard or it didn’t seem like she was going anywhere. That perseverance is a strength in itself. Author: Lindsay Hall, MSW
Benefits of Reflection & Gratitude
Ultimately, the end of the year can be full of excitement and nerves in anticipation for the new year to come. It’s a great chance to envision what you want this next chapter of your life to look like. Once you feel you have reflected enough, feel free to close the door of 2021 and open the new door to 2022 and begin working towards your new goals.
How Can I Tell If I Am Being Assertive or Aggressive?
Whenever you feel something bottling up inside because you fear being too assertive or worry how that can impact your image, remind yourself of these tips.
What Does Finding a Compatible Therapist Even Mean?
When you are a young professional looking for help, where do you turn to? How do you find a therapist who is compatible? Starting with your own cultural background may be helpful. Also, finding someone located in your city, such as in Detroit or Troy, can also be great. But ultimately, therapists who can “dive deep” into our lives and offer useful observations we may not have made ourselves are among the most significant and helpful. Author: Sadfah Shohatee, LLMSW
Does an office’s physical location matter in the age of COVID?
Starting in December of 2021, Start My Wellness will open its doors at our new headquarters in Troy. Our goal is to provide comprehensive wellness. We want to give you many options for how you can take good care of yourself and your loved ones. Author: Anton Babushkin, PhD, Therapist, CEO
Navigating Grief and Loss
Over time, coming to terms with our losses can open the door to new opportunities. The past can’t always be healed but working through our losses is a way to validate our emotional experiences, while gaining perspective on what moving forward looks like. Author: Jordan Reynolds, MSW, LLMSW
