Therapist in Brighton, Michigan,
Lynn McHale, LMSW, CAADC

Lynn M. McHale (LMSW, CAADC), practicing since 1995. I graduated from U Of M in Ann Arbor, MI with a Masters in Social Work. I am also a Certified Advanced Addictions Counselor. My approach is holistic. Regardless of the presenting problem I always assess for any substance abuse, as it can interfere with trying to reach one’s goals by masking feelings. Diet is discussed, as food helps to regulate mood. Support systems play a key role in how successful therapy can be. It takes a lot of courage to enter therapy. If one is able to set aside fear, faith in oneself will surface. If you keep thinking about what you WANT to do or what you HOPE will happen, you won’t do it AND it won’t happen. When I am not spending time with my spouse, kids and Grandkids, I am reading, doing YOGA or traveling, with Europe being my favorite!! My spouse was a Detroit Fire Fighter for 32 years as well as a Vietnam Vet. I feel honored to work with our Military families.
