TC Mental Health, LLC

Welcome to TC Mental Health!

I am Lorraine Helferich MS, LLPC, NCC owner and counselor at TC Mental Health, LLC. TC Mental Health is proud to begin offering comprehensive individual, couple, and family counseling, as well as, community education and training. TC Mental Health offers a variety of ways in which to access quality affordable counseling services such as: traditional in office sessions, in home sessions for older adults in the Grand Traverse Area, online video conferencing, online secure chat, and phone counseling.

I graduated in March of 2014 with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and continue to pursue my PhD. in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior. I have three years experience as a crisis counselor, as well as, having completed my internship for licensure at Northwestern Michigan College here in Traverse City, Michigan.

I approach counseling from an existential perspective which focuses on meaning, purpose, and freedom (stemming from responsibility and choice) in one’s life, combined with a person-centered perspective focused on increasing resiliency and autonomy. My theoretical background allows for the selection and implementation of various interventions drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, trauma informed care, and solution focused therapy (SFT), as well as, others as appropriate. Working alongside of individuals in order to collaborate on the trajectory and goals of counseling are of the utmost importance to me.

I look forward to joining you on your personal journey as you take the necessary steps towards meeting your goals and gaining personal insight!

Sincerely,

Lorraine Helferich MS, LLPC, NCC
