Grief in Motion is a weekly coaching and support group led by Alexander Borrello through his contract work with Evolving Lives Professional Group. Grief in Motion provides a structured setting to explore the challenges of grief, connect with others navigating loss, and develop ways to move forward.
Wayfinder Psychotherapy does not independently operate or administer this group. This group is not a therapy/medical service.
I recognize that mental health terminology (chiefly innumerable approaches and acronyms) can be difficult for those seeking help to navigate. Here I endeavor to provide explanations and expectations for potential clients.
I believe healing and growth do not come from simply from understanding symptoms or following a manualized treatment, though these can provide benefits. Rather, I believe our difficulties develop and their solutions are discovered within the context of our experiences, relationships, beliefs, choices, and the meaning we make of our lives.
My Approach to Therapy
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic therapy examines how past experiences, important relationships, and patterns outside our immediate awareness can influence present feelings, decisions, and behavior. Greater understanding can make it possible to recognize familiar patterns and respond to situations differently. We begin with the goal of becoming a better, more adaptive and integrated, version of yourself.
Existential Psychotherapy
Existential therapy explores questions of freedom, responsibility, choice, connection, and meaning. It can be especially useful when familiar ways of living no longer feel satisfying, when you are questioning expectations, or when you are trying to determine what matters to you. Though it is associated with a particular philosophy, clients are not in any way expected to believe or adhere to existentialism. The influence arises in that clients do exist and thus deal with problems every human being faces. My task is not to teach you the philosophy side of psychology but to learn how your personal philosophy influences your personal psychology.
REWIND Therapy
REWIND is a focused approach to trauma therapy that can help people work through distressing memories without having to describe the details of what happened. The goal is to stop involuntary recall, reduce avoidance of triggers, and restore some cognitive and emotional functioning.
Complimentary REWIND Therapy for U.S. Veterans in Michigan
REWIND can be particularly helpful for veterans dealing with the effects of traumatic experiences. I offer REWIND therapy at no cost to U.S. veterans living in Michigan. Because this is a focused, individualized approach, the length of treatment varies from person to person. It typically takes four to six sessions, although some people may need more. There is no charge for the REWIND treatment process, regardless of how long it takes to complete.
Once the REWIND work is complete, you may choose to continue with ongoing psychotherapy at my regular fee. Continuing therapy is entirely optional.
Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT)
IPSRT focuses on the relationship between daily routines, relationships, energy, and mood. It is specially designed for the treatment of bipolar disorders, though it has utility in treating those with unipolar depression as well. Please note that an important process within IPSRT is tracking daily behaviors (i.e., sleeping, eating, social contact, and working) and regulating when they should occur in your day. Once routines are stabilized, we would discuss how to accommodate variations as the need arises.
My Broader Perspective to Both Therapy and Coaching
The Wayfinder’s Journey
At the intersection of Jungian psychology and literary and cultural studies lies what is known as The Hero’s Journey. It is predominately used as a framework for writing and interpreting works of fiction, but it has been shown in psychology research to help participants interpret their lives as meaningful.
I have merged aspects of this framework into the abovementioned approaches to create The Wayfinder’s Journey — an integrative framework that helps you understand your challenges and the complex psychological principles undergirding them as part of a larger, lifelong story of growth.
Fees & Policies
Virtual Practice: All sessions are conducted via telehealth. In addition to the convenience and flexibility, research supports virtual therapy as an effective option for many people and concerns. My own experience has also shown me that meaningful therapeutic work can take place in a virtual setting.
Private/Cash Pay: Working outside of insurance billing allows greater flexibility in how we approach your needs, without having treatment decisions driven by insurance coverage requirements. I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Whether your plan reimburses you, and how much, depends on your individual benefits and coverage. HSA or FSA cards may be used if accepted by the card issuer.
It is worth noting that some reasons for seeking services, such as grief and life transitions, seldom meet insurance criteria for coverage.
Cancellations: At least 24 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Late cancellations and missed appointments are subject to a $75 fee. Emergencies are handled individually, and each client is granted a one-time, non-emergency forgiveness.
Informed Consent & Full Policies Document: As with any healthcare service, clients have the right to Informed Consent of policies, procedures, and expectations before agreeing to any treatment with Wayfinder Psychotherapy. Practice policies and the Professional Disclosure Statement are available for review and signature through the Client Portal before your first session.
