Dr. Groomes is easily the best therapist I've ever worked with. She is personable so that sessions do not feel clinical, and incredibly intelligent and experienced to provide thoughtful guidance, coaching, and support alongside it. It's a very relaxed approach and she's a great and kind human. She's super responsive on the few times I've reached out outside of session. I always look forward to our time where we can catch up on life and stay caught up on goals and progress.
More about Darlene

- LPC
I am a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). I have had clinical experience working with clients who experience trauma, loss and grief, disability, family issues, and body image challenges. I am a youth mental health first aid provider and trainer in adult mental health first aid response. I offer individual, child, and family counseling. I provide a holistic approach to counseling by addressing physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. I ensure the highest quality care is provided through an integrative, client-centered approach. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to include cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducational, trauma-informed, mindfulness, and solution-focused. I promote personal growth by providing an atmosphere that is safe, accepting, and direct. I will hear you, validate your experience, and strive for your personal empowerment. If I am not the person to work with you, I will refer you to local area expertise where you may find a better-matched clinician.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Just so extremely happy to have found someone I can talk to, feel comfortable with and actually feel hope for my future
Dr. Groomes is a wonderfully thoughtful therapist. She listens to my needs and concerns and is not afraid to share things that might not be easy to hear. She is very responsive when I have issues and I am often surprised at how she is able/willing to respond during what I would consider off hours. Overall, a very caring and concerned therapy provider with a huge toolbox of knowledge to share from. I am blessed to have her help.
Dr. Groomes provides support that resonates with both your emotional and intellectual understanding of your needs. I cannot begin to adequately describe the strength of her abilities and the level of her patience.
Groomes is amazing. Shes the first therapist I’ve ever spoke too. She made me feel comfortable, to be honest, to be sincere, to be myself and dig deep. She’s upfront, bold, understanding and I’m lucky to have her as my first experience. Ive progressed, fell back, progressed again and she kept me on track even when I forgot myself. Solid stonewall I can rely on to be on my side.
Dr. Groomes has been great. Her recommendations have really had a positive impact on my capacity to manage high demands on my time.
I love Dr. Groomes: she’s the smartest person I know.
