KaraLee & Associates provides outpatient psychotherapy to children, families, adults, geriatric adults, adolescents, and couples. Our clinical staff are seasoned, competent, and dedicated to helping their clients reach their goals and improve their emotional and behavioral functioning, in order to promote maximum satisfaction and quality of life. For clients who are actively participating in psychotherapy with a  KaraLee clinician, psychiatric consultation is available on site with one of our counseling psychiatrists.

KaraLee's staff are certified or licensed by the State of Michigan to provide services in the following disciplines:

• Psychology

• Social Work

• Psychiatry

• Licensed Professional Counseling

• We are a group of seasoned professionals with a wide range of experiences acquired from work experience in a variety of settings, such as inpatient mental health units, psycho educational day treatments, group homes, school systems, prisons, community mental health agencies, not-for-profit clinics, employee assistance programs, health management organizations, therapeutic camp, private clinics, and more. We bring a significant depth and breadth to our clinical work that other clinics hiring newer graduates may not be able to offer.

• We are located in an older home which, although well kept and professional, may be more comfortable and less impersonal than a facility in a medical building, particularly for those who may be anxious about seeking help. We seek to blend in with our community historically and architecturally.

• We are committed to making KaraLee & Associates an integral part of our local community, as evidenced by our participation in the Plymouth Senior Fest in Hines Park and the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Plymouth Lock-Up.

• We provide space for local community support groups to meet each week (Women For Sobriety and Emotional Wellness/Resiliency Group.) Individuals utilizing these groups do not have to be clients of KaraLee & Associates or residents of Plymouth to participate. All are welcome and there is no charge.

• We offer our clients the opportunity to borrow materials (books and tapes) from our Lending Library, to promote emotional behavioral recovery beyond the therapy session.

• Whenever possible, we utilize local businesses for our supplies and materials, recognizing that a strong community benefits those living within it.

• As part of our efforts to provide quality care, treatment and services, our expectations for our clinicians' continuing education exceed the expectations required by the State of Michigan Licensing Boards.

• In December 2003, KaraLee & Associates obtained its initial accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Facilities (JCAHO), the most stringent and prestigious of all the available accrediting bodies.
• Not content with these accomplishments, the two psychologists then pursued and obtained an outpatient clinic license from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan in October 2004. This transformed KaraLee into an organized mental heath facility capable of providing a full range of mental health services to clients of all ages, from children to geriatric adults. Although we no longer provide on-site speech or occupational therapy services, provision of psychotherapy services to  children with neurological/developmental impairments remains a focus, although no longer our only focus.
• In November 2006, KaraLee & Associates participated in the Joint Commissions re-credentialing process (an arduous task), and was fully accredited for 39 months.

In the same way that KaraLee & Associates began as a seed of potential, blooming and transforming, so we seek to nurture our clients and promote their ability to maximize potential as individuals, families and couples.
