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.

Many people feel unsure—or even uncomfortable—asking about the difference between insurance and private pay in therapy.

The truth is, both options can support effective care. They simply come with different structures, benefits, and limitations.

This carousel breaks down the pros and cons of each so you can make an informed decision that fits your goals, finances, and comfort level.

If talking about it hasn’t brought the relief you hoped for, you’re not doing therapy wrong. Some experiences live in the nervous system, not just in words. At Stepping Stones Wellness Center, we offer evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies like EMDR and ART to help reduce emotional charge and support real forward movement. Healing can be steadier—and lighter—than you expect.

Many people notice changes in eating or exercise after trauma—and then feel confused or frustrated by it.

New research suggests something important: it isn’t the type of trauma that predicts these changes most strongly. It’s the level of posttraumatic stress symptoms still present in the nervous system.

Comfort eating, avoiding movement, or exercising intensely can all be attempts to cope. These patterns aren’t character flaws—they’re adaptive responses to stress.

Trauma-informed therapy focuses on reducing symptoms at the root, allowing healthier rhythms to return naturally.

Many people notice changes in mood, motivation, and emotional balance during winter—and often wonder if something is “wrong” with them.
Emerging research suggests the season itself isn’t the problem. How we understand and respond to winter plays a meaningful role in how we experience it.
In our newest blog post, we explore what it means to “winter well,” drawing on psychologist Kari Leibowitz’s research and therapist-informed strategies for supporting mental health during colder months.

Not all therapy works the same way—and that’s a good thing.

Some approaches focus on skills and patterns.
Others go deep into trauma, relationships, or meaning.
Many therapists blend methods, based on you, not the label.

We mapped common psychotherapy approaches using pop culture references you already know—because understanding therapy shouldn’t require a textbook.

Her work focuses on fostering lasting growth, deepening self-awareness, and supporting meaningful change—both in and outside of the therapy room.

🤍 Healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about creating the conditions where change can happen.

Being self-aware isn’t the same as being self-connected.

Many people can explain their feelings clearly—where they come from, what they mean, how they formed. And yet, they still feel disconnected from their needs and limits.

That’s because self-connection isn’t cognitive.
It’s embodied. It shows up in subtle signals like tightness, heaviness, numbness, or relief.

Disconnection is often something we learned for good reasons.
And like any learned skill, connection can be relearned.
