Donal J Dwyer V LPC

My soothing and comfortable private practice office, Chapters Counseling, is located in downtown Mount Pleasant, Michigan. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor through the state of Michigan. My counseling career began in 2015, and I am passionate about helping people to have a life worth living. My experiences include working with children, teenagers, and families in juvenile detention facilities. Some goals were overcoming traumatic life experiences, depression, and anxiety. Working at community mental health allowed me to interact with various people to achieve their goals. Marriage and couples counseling training has allowed me to acquire the skills to help many couples save their marriages and relationships through connection and communication.

I utilize various techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, stress management, increasing self-worth, assertiveness training, mood management, anxiety reduction, empowerment, and work/life balance.

I am a Qualified Supervisor for Limited Licensed Counselors in Michigan. I am available for clinical supervision for recent graduates. During supervision with me, we will address case consultation, ethics and laws, and personal growth as a therapist.
​
My memberships include Emdria and The Michigan Counseling Association. 
​
I volunteer with a local high school band and run my ruck club. I enjoy hiking and nature and have a non-judgmental and supportive demeanor.
