Social Work Private Practice

Practice/Mission/Vision Statement

I graduated in 1986 with my Masters of Social Work from Wayne State University. I have worked with children, youth and families for the past 36 years, the last 24 of which I worked in the Grosse Pointe Public schools.

I specialize in helping children and youth with their social-emotional needs and their related social skills development. I employ a variety of techniques based in play and skill development. I believe play is the language of children and often makes it easier for the child or youth to open up and try new things. I also believe that the parents are important partners in any child centered therapy.

Frank D. Wilberding, LCMSW, CAADC

The highest value of good mental health is the self-awareness to become who we really are.

As a clinical social worker and certified Hazelden trained addiction counselor, I am uniquely positioned to help clients find their own voice in a journey of self discovery.

Mary Petersen, LMSW

Private Practice Psychotherapist

Practice/Mission/Vision Statement

I see individuals, couples, groups, and families by appointment, mostly of middle-school age and older. Certainly I see a lot of common issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Additionally, however, I tend to see more in-depth issues such as trauma and complicated grief. Since 2008 I have been running a group for men who are survivors of sexual abuse, and this group has expanded significantly. I also run another, more general, group for men who seek out a place to express themselves and process things, and I do additional work in writing, lecturing, or functioning as an expert witness in various legal cases.

About

I have a Bachelors Degree in English with a minor in Psychology from Michigan State University. Following that, I obtained a teaching certificate to teach secondary English and Psychology from the graduate program at Wayne State University. Following that, I worked in administration and then obtained a Masters Degree in social Work from Wayne State University. My graduate research was on inhibited grief, and so I see not only a great deal of bereavement but also complicated grief, such as people who have had loved ones commit suicide, people who have suffered through trauma, and the like. Prior to all of this academia I was well educated in life in many ways, including losing my father to a massive heart attack when I was 18.

Further, I make it a habit to normalize what it means to be human and present the truth of human nature to all my clients in such a way that they have the chance to appreciate their own humanity with the dignity it deserves.

Practice Statement

If you have the desire or goal of wanting to feel more in control, secure, and at ease in your life, I have a passion for helping you get there. It is important to me that we ensure you have an equal role and input in our work together, so our sessions feel collaborative, productive, and suitable for you because I want you to see the benefits of our work. I work best with people who are motivated for change and insight but are also curious about themselves. I also specialize in and am passionate about working with medical professionals who are contending with issues like stress/burn out, professionalism, and communication issues.

I am direct, empathetic, authentic, trustworthy, and non-judgmental. I use these qualities and skills to support you in overcoming challenges that may have brought you to therapy in the first place. My goal is to help you increase self-awareness, build insight, and guide you to finding useful tools to improve your functioning in all aspects of your life.

I understand the importance of having someone, especially a professional, that you can turn to for unbiased and authentic support. My goal is for my clients to eventually learn and internalize the skills they need to manage their lives independently. I want my clients to be confident and empowered so that they do not have to rely on a therapist forever.

About

Gilda Radnor, beloved member of the original cast of Saturday Night Live, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1986. Gilda said that with cancer, she had exclusive membership in a club no one wanted to be involved in. She died in 1986, but left her wish behind of no one having to face cancer alone. Her family and friends fulfilled Gilda’s wish by opening the first Gilda’s Club cancer support center in New York City in 1995. The second Gilda’s Club came about in 1998 when eight courageous women opened the Clubhouse doors in Royal Oak to bring hope to those with cancer. Since then, the Clubhouse, which is a 1913 mail-order kit home from Sears, Roebuck & Co., has been expanded with more square footage and Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit has acquired three more locations to serve our community — in St. Clair Shores, Detroit, and virtually, on a computer near you.

SAMHSA – Talk They Hear You – Parent Resources

US Department of Health & Human Services

About the “Talk. They Hear You.” Campaign

The “Talk. They Hear You.” Underage Drinking Prevention National Media Campaign empowers parents and caregivers to talk with children early about alcohol and other drug use.

Problem of Underage Drinking and Substance Use

High rates of youth alcohol use, shifting state laws regarding marijuana, and the nation’s opioid crisis are prevalent health concerns that affect America’s parents and caregivers. Preventing underage alcohol and substance use is critical for the following reasons:

• Approximately 88,000 Americans die from alcohol-attributed causes each year, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States.
• An estimated 2.1 million people ages 12 or older had an opioid use disorder, and nearly 30 percent of those who use marijuana may have some degree of marijuana use disorder.

Through the Sober Truth on Underage Drinking Act, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) created the “Talk. They Hear You.”® campaign to address the problem of underage drinking and substance misuse.

The “Talk. They Hear You.”® campaign’s goal is to provide parents and caregivers with the resources they need to address the issue of alcohol and other drugs with children under the age of 21. The campaign has historically equipped parents with the knowledge and skills to increase actions that reduce and prevent underage drinking. Recently, it has expanded its messaging to include other substances such as marijuana and prescription drugs. The campaign now offers resources to help parents talk to children of all ages about alcohol and other drugs.

Consequences of Underage Drinking and Substance Use

Rates of underage drinking and substance use in the United States are high. (See the latest statistics.) Underage drinking and other drug use can have severe consequences for children under 21, including the following:

• Injury or death from accidents;
• Poor school performance; and/or
• Poor judgment and decision-making.

Alcohol and other drugs can also harm child brain development.

Importance of Parents

Parents have a significant influence in their children’s decision to experiment with alcohol and other drugs. Although it may not seem like it, when parents talk about underage drinking and substance use, their children do hear them.

Help Talking with Children Under 21

“Talk. They Hear You.”® originally focused on helping parents with children ages 9–15 to prevent young people from starting to drink. However, research suggests the chances that children will try alcohol or other drugs increases as they get older. Around age 9, children begin thinking alcohol may not be just for adults. By the time they are seniors, almost 70 percent of high school students will have tried alcohol, half will have taken an illegal drug, and more than 20 percent will have used a prescription drug for a nonmedical purpose.

In 2018, “Talk. They Hear You.”® expanded its resources to include tools for parents and caregivers of children of all ages under 21 to help them continue having underage drinking and substance use prevention conversations beyond age 15.

Care is provided in a supportive and confidential virtual group setting. Sessions are held Monday through Friday during the day. Average treatment lasts about two weeks. Patients are expected to attend every session.

Treatment includes dialectical behavior therapy coping skills sessions, psychoeducation sessions, availability of brief individual therapy and medication management with a psychiatric provider.
