What is a "Telka"?
People are often confused by Telka's name. The hyphenated last name does not help the confusion. Telka Arend-Ritter is a graduate of Michigan State University, who has been practicing psychotherapy in the Greater Lansing Area since 1985. She is the author of a brief, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral counseling program designed specifically for the treatment of stress, depression, anxiety and problem relationships. Her self-help CBT workbook, Change Your Thoughts, Heal Your Life was approved as a 22 credit Social Work continuing education program in 2006. Her treatment approach blends neuroscience with practical and effective coping skills, mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and ACT.
In 2007, after working 23 years in an outpatient mental health hospital, Telka and her psychologist husband established a successful private practice in East Lansing, Michigan. They have one adult daughter, also a Spartan.
What separates Telka's services from the others?
Telka's brief psychotherapy services are change oriented and solution focused. Her approach increases emotional intelligence by aligning thoughts, actions and values.
