Mental Health Teletherapy services
Teletherapy Services Only.
2022 Service Update: Telka's services are now exclusively Telemedicine for current and former clients only. The good news is that Telka's tools and video recommendations are available to use on your own or with the healthcare provider of your choice. Telka now offers free training for therapists as a "give back and rise up" to the profession she loves in hopes that former clients will connect with brief, solution-focused, CBT therapists in the future.
What is a "Telka"?
Bio update: Pronouns: She, her, hers. Telka was born and raised in Michigan, and is a 1984 MSW graduate of Michigan State University. Her brief, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral treatment model and her 11-week program were approved as 22 credit continuing education for clinical social work in 2006. In 2007, after working over 20 years in hospital-based outpatient mental health, Telka established a successful private practice with her spouse, also a mental health professional and Spartan.
In 2021 Telka transitioned from offering services in her East Lansing office to telehealth services from her home office. Telehealth is limited to current and former clients only, no longer accepting new clients.
In 2025, projected plan is to retire from private practice, transitioning into volunteer consulting, training and educational work within the community.
