About Elevate
Care that treats the whole person, not just the presenting problem.
We started Elevate because too many people wait until they're in crisis to ask for support. Our clinicians blend talk therapy with practical wellness coaching, so sessions leave you with language for what you're feeling and tools you can actually use between appointments.
Whether you're navigating life transitions, stress, trauma, grief, or emotional overwhelm — we draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches and tailor treatment to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
Person-centered, evidence-basedCompassionate approaches tailored to you.
Whole-life wellnessSleep, stress, movement, and mindset — not just the 50-minute hour.
Flexible accessEvening slots and secure telehealth for busy schedules.
Services
Support for wherever you're starting from
Every plan is built around your goals, not a template. Here's where most clients begin.
Teen & Young Adult Counseling
Identity, school stress, family dynamics, and the pressure of growing up online — with parents kept informed, not shut out.
Wellness Coaching
Habits, mindfulness, and stress management for clients who want structure and accountability alongside — or instead of — therapy.
Perinatal Mental Health Support
We support individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and the emotional journey of becoming a parent.
Our approach
Four steps, one direction: forward
Getting started shouldn't be the hardest part of getting help.
1
Reach out
Send a message or call the office. We'll ask a few questions and point you to the right clinician.
2
Free 15-minute consult
A short call to talk through what's going on and see whether it feels like the right fit — no obligation.
3
A plan built around you
Your first few sessions shape a plan with goals that actually reflect your life, not a generic checklist.
4
Ongoing growth
Regular sessions, honest check-ins, and a plan that shifts as you do — that's the whole point of Elevate.
In their words
Clients share what changed
"I finally have language for what I've been carrying for years. Talking to Brandi feels like progress, not just venting."
"Words cannot express how much I've grown as a person because of Elevate."
"My son looks forward to his sessions. That alone told me we'd found the right person."

We're in-network with several major Michigan insurers and offer private-pay rates with a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Bring your card to your consult and we'll check your benefits before your first session.
Counseling is clinical care focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. Wellness coaching is non-clinical and goal-focused — habits, mindset, and accountability. Many clients use both together.
It depends entirely on your goals. Some clients come for a handful of focused sessions around a specific transition; others stay for ongoing, longer-term support. We revisit your plan regularly so it never runs on autopilot.
Yes. All clinicians offer secure telehealth sessions in addition to in-person appointments at our Southfield office, and most clients mix the two based on their week.
Our clinicians work with teens and adults. Let us know your situation during your consult and we'll match you with the right fit.
