Counseling Practice – Rochester Area Counseling Services
Rochester Area Counseling Services is a mental health practice at 130 Hampton Circle, Suite 130, Rochester Hills, Michigan (48307). The practice is led by Dr. Tobi Russell alongside a team of clinicians including Lindzy Sienkowski, Alejandra Medina, Elisabeth Garbeil, and David Minsky, forming a multi-provider group serving the Oakland County area.
Individual counseling is available for children ages seven and older, adolescents, and adults, with sessions delivered both in-person and virtually. Group counseling for adults covers two structured programs: journal therapy for mental health and recovery education centered on substance use. Virtual EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is offered through an EMDR-certified clinician for clients presenting with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, and addictions. The availability of EMDR via telehealth extends specialized trauma treatment to clients who cannot attend in person.
Beyond direct therapy, the practice offers online self-directed courses. “Ready, Set, Self-Care” focuses on stress management strategies and coping skills. “Keys to Understanding Substances” is a 10-module educational course examining alcohol, marijuana, and prescription medications, covering their risks and practical refusal skills. Sound healing courses are listed as coming soon on the website, indicating ongoing expansion of service offerings.
Insurance plans accepted include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Priority Health, and Medicaid programs through Meridian, Molina, McLaren, and United Healthcare. Beacon/Carelon and ComPsych EAP are also accepted. Self-pay options are available. The practice adheres to the No Surprises Act of 2022 regarding billing for uninsured and out-of-network clients.
The combination of individual therapy, group programs, online educational courses, and EMDR positions Rochester Area Counseling Services as a multi-format mental health resource for the Rochester Hills community and surrounding Oakland County area. Saturday availability by request provides flexibility for clients with weekday scheduling constraints.
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with Saturday appointments available by request. Contact: phone 248-266-6166; email rochestercounselingservices@gmail.com.
