Dr. Agresta has worked full time as a
clinical psychologist in the Detroit / Ann
Arbor / Jackson area for many years. She has
extensive training and experience in a
variety of approaches within the
psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral
therapies. Each person 's unique situation
and personality are the basis for choosing
the most useful psychotherapy interventions.
During an initial session, an evaluation of
your concerns will be made and a tentative
recommendation will be offered to you. If
you are in agreement, further sessions will
be scheduled to work on your problems, gain
further information and implement changes.
There are some problems with which Dr.
Agresta does not have experience or
background. If she feels she cannot be
helpful to you, she will let you know and
can sometimes help you to find another
professional with expertise in the problem
that you have.
Dr. Agresta works with preschoolers through
older adults, with teenagers and college
students being about a third of her
practice. She approaches all of her clients
as individuals and not just diagnoses. She
values taking the time to gain a thorough
understanding of each person's situation,
believing that this is the most effective
and efficient way to help you.
