Dr. Stanley Szczotka

Dr. Stanley Szczotka focuses on the growth and healing of the individual and the relationships that support them. He invites clients to work through conflict and change with the goal of lasting improvement.

He is currently available only on Sunday mornings and early afternoons and apologizes for his limited schedule.

Approaching his third decade in practice, Dr. Szczotka has spent 30 years working with individuals, couples, and parents. He frames treatment around insight and change: the first step is to develop a practical understanding of the problem and the “why?”; the second step is to agree to address the issue by doing something different - the “how?”.

Learning how to change, cope, or become a different version of oneself - and to relate differently to partners, colleagues, or children - is challenging. Progress often begins with reflection and interpretation, and leads to insight, understanding, and concrete change. Therapy can accelerate that process. There is no one size fits all, so Dr. Szczotka provides customized attention designed to fit each person’s unique experiences and lifestyle.

He is also committed to helping other clinicians develop skills, launch practices, and continually improve. Supervising counselors helps him stay connected to the next generation of practitioners and complements his other professional activities. His experience spans individual, marital, family, and group therapy in both outpatient and inpatient care settings. He has taught undergraduate and graduate students at both college and university levels in the departments of psychology, counseling, education, and human resources, and he serves occasionally as a conference speaker and community panelist. Dr. Szczotka holds a Michigan professional counseling license (LPC number 6401009712).
