About Us |
|
| KaraLee & Associates is a
full-service mental health facility providing outpatient services
for a wide variety of conditions, symptoms, problems and concerns.
We are located in downtown Plymouth in a Victorian
house from the 1920's, for comfort yet a professional atmosphere and setting.
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

What Distinguishes KaraLee From
Other Mental Health Clinics? |
|
-
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.

Our History |
|
|
- 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. |
