Stepping Stones Wellness Center, PLLC

Stepping Stones Wellness Center, PLLC Psychotherapy clinic in Plymouth, MI offering inclusive and effective telehealth (anywhere in MI) and in-person services. Brooks.

Our philosophy holds that each person is unique. Therefore, your therapy and treatment plans are tailored specifically to your needs. We employ a holistic, collaborative approach, working with physicians and psychiatrists toward optimal health of mind, body, and spirit. Whether for yourself, your relationship, or your family, therapy is an investment of time, money, and considerable energy aimed at improving your daily life. Our seasoned, experienced staff devote their well-trained hearts and minds exclusively to you during the therapy hour, and spend additional time thinking and writing about your concerns. Our mission is to provide you the tools and skills needed to achieve your best possible outcomes and experience life to its fullest. Sometimes therapy begins with a particular problem that initiates the call for help. Often, resolving those initial issues leads to an exploration of more foundational ones that may or may not be related to the presenting problem. Our goal is to assist each client, couple, or family, according to her, his or their needs and goals, one step at a time. Considering the current economy, Stepping Stones understands that some of us do not have health insurance. Whenever appropriate, we have chosen to provide an adjusted fee scale based on what patients can afford. Our licensed, professional staff operates under the supervision of our Director, Dr. Denise L. We are able to serve the needs of our clients who have health insurance plans. While we can call and verify your coverage, it always helps -- a lot -- if you call the customer service number on the back of your card before the first session t verify that 1) we are an approved provider, 2) find out how much you will be responsible to pay for deductible and copays, and 3) how many sessions are covered per year. When you call, ask if "Dr. Denise L. Brooks" is an in-network provider, as she is the director and most often the listed provider for our practice.

🌿 Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) can develop after repeated or long-term trauma, and its symptoms often extend beyond what we typically associate with PTSD.

Some of the most common signs include emotional flashbacks, difficulty regulating emotions, negative self-perception, struggles in relationships, hypervigilance, dissociation, and avoidance.

If you recognize yourself in these experiences, please know you are not alone. Healing is possible. With the right support, safety and resilience can be rebuilt. 💙

At Stepping Stones Wellness Center, we provide trauma-informed care to help individuals move from surviving to truly living.

✨ Have you or someone you care about learned strategies for managing C-PTSD symptoms? We’d love to hear what’s been helpful in your journey.

🌿 Feeling stressed or tense? 🌿
Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a simple technique that can help you let go of stress—one muscle group at a time. By tensing and then slowly releasing your muscles, you teach your body the difference between tension and ease.

✨ Here’s how it works:
*Choose a muscle group (like your fists).
*Gently squeeze for 5–10 seconds.
*Release slowly, breathing deeply as you do.
*Move on to other areas: shoulders, jaw, chest, legs, and feet.

Even a few minutes of practice can:
💙 Ease physical tension
💙 Calm your mind
💙 Support better sleep
💙 Boost overall well-being

It’s a simple practice you can try anytime, anywhere.
Why not take a few moments today to give your body—and your mind—the gift of relaxation?

🦋 The Butterfly Hug: A Simple Tool for Calming Stress 🦋

Did you know there’s a quick, gentle technique you can use anywhere to help calm your nervous system and ease anxiety? It’s called the Butterfly Hug—and here’s how to try it:

1️⃣ Sit comfortably and take a slow, steady breath.
2️⃣ Cross your arms over your chest so each hand rests on the opposite shoulder or upper arm.
3️⃣ Begin gently tapping your shoulders or arms, alternating left–right–left–right.
4️⃣ Keep breathing deeply as you tap, until you feel a greater sense of calm.

This self-soothing practice can help reduce stress, regulate emotions, and bring you back into the present moment. 🌿

At Stepping Stones Wellness Center, we believe in empowering you with practical tools like this—so that healing continues outside the therapy room too. 💙

✨ Have you tried the Butterfly Hug before? Share your experience in the comments—we’d love to hear how it worked for you!

Have you ever wished you could change the way you feel just by changing the way you think?
That’s exactly what Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is all about.

CBT is a research-backed approach that helps people break free from unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more constructive ways of thinking. The result? You feel better, you respond to challenges differently, and you build lasting habits that support your mental well-being.

In CBT, you work with a therapist to:
*Recognize thoughts that aren’t serving you
*Reframe them into something more helpful
*Build habits that align with your goals
*Approach life’s challenges with more clarity and confidence

It’s more than just “talk therapy.” CBT is practical, goal-focused, and designed to give you tools you can use every day—long after your sessions end.

Bottom line: CBT can equip you with lifelong skills to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater resilience and self-awareness.

If you’ve tried CBT, we’d love to hear your experience in the comments. Your story could inspire someone else to take that first step toward change.

🌿 Thinking about starting therapy for depression?

It’s completely normal to feel uncertain in the beginning — but research shows psychotherapy can offer real hope for healing.

Here’s what many people experience during therapy:
✅ Better sleep, more energy, and improved daily functioning
✅ Greater awareness of thought patterns and triggers
✅ Reduced intensity of depressive symptoms
✅ Better coping strategies for difficult emotions
✅ Stronger relationships and communication
✅ Increased motivation and interest in activities
✅ Enhanced emotional regulation and self-compassion
✅ Prevention of future depressive episodes
✅ Improved overall quality of life

💡 Remember:
• Progress isn’t always linear — healing has ups and downs
• Different approaches work for different people
• Your timeline is unique, and that’s okay
• Small steps forward are still meaningful progress

💙 If you’re considering therapy, know that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

At Stepping Stones Wellness Center, our greatest reward is seeing our clients thrive 🌱. We believe in the power of compassionate ☺️ support to navigate 🗺️ life's challenges and discover inner resilience.

We're so grateful to clients like this one, who bravely share their experiences to help others know they're not alone and that help is available.

Listen 👂 to what she had to say about her experience with us:

“My therapy sessions started during the pandemic, and were telehealth visits. I was a little anxious about being able to develop rapport and a relationship with my therapist in this manner, rather than in-person. However, during my first session with Stefanie, I felt immediately comfortable. There was a lot of paperwork to fill out beforehand, but I appreciated what that meant in terms of my therapy. Throughout my continued sessions, I felt respected, validated, comforted, confident, and absolutely listened to. The EMDR therapy helped me work through several different traumas I have experienced. Stefanie continuously made sure I was comfortable and ready to continue. I am completely satisfied with my experience with Stefanie at Stepping Stones Wellness Center, and highly recommend her to others.”

Her journey ✈️ is a testament to the transformative potential of therapy. ✨
