Welcome to 3Cs Counseling Center

Choices, Chances, and Change

About Our Owner

Sara Schwartz, MBA, MA, LPC, NCC, CAADC, NPT-C, has been a mental health counselor for four years, working in community mental health and private practice. In her agency roles, Sara served as an assertive community treatment (ACT) therapist as well as a home-based therapist, meeting vulnerable children and adults at home, in schools, and even in the streets of Detroit, ensuring they received the care and resources needed to avoid hospital stays and incarceration while thriving in independent living and foster care placements. She has also worked as a private practice clinician at Sollars & Associates, Great Lakes Psychology Group, and Grow Therapy.

3Cs Counseling Center started in 2022.

Sara opened 3Cs with a mission to serve as many people as possible during the height of the post-pandemic mental health crisis. Beginning as a single-clinician operation, she kept this mission alive by transforming 3Cs into a multi-clinician practice, offering affordable, accessible services to clients throughout Michigan.

In addition to her clinical work, Sara owns Michigan Counselor Training Institute, CounselingExamPrep.org, The GroWell Center, and SaraTeller.com, all of which were established to promote mental wellness, offer therapists the resources they need to better support their clients, and provide high-quality counseling services to Michigan’s residents. 

Here is a place for Choices, Chances, and Change.

At 3Cs Counseling Center, we believe true transformation begins within and radiates into every area of your life. Whether you’re struggling with grief, anxiety, or painful emotional patterns, healing is possible—and it starts right here.

You may have joined a virtual therapy session feeling overwhelmed or stuck. But here, we offer more than just support—we offer a path forward rooted in compassion, connection, and professional expertise.

Our approach to mental health counseling is grounded in the belief that you are not defined by your pain, but by your strength to overcome it. At 3Cs, your story matters. We take time to truly listen and understand, creating a safe, welcoming space where healing begins.

When you meet with one of our therapists, you’ll feel the difference. You’ll be met not just by a licensed clinician but by a compassionate guide who will walk beside you through every step of your therapy journey.

Let us help you lift the weight of the world from your shoulders. Experience therapy that’s warm, honest, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking individual therapy, grief counseling, or support for anxiety and life transitions, our dedicated team is here to help you find hope and healing.

What happens when you join us?

Beginning therapy can come with hesitation, doubt, or fear of the unknown. That’s completely normal. You’re here because something deep inside is ready for change, and at 3Cs Counseling Center, we’re here to help you take that first brave step.

Our approach to mental health counseling goes far beyond just talking—it’s a collaborative, transformative journey. 

You’ll feel heard—not as a case study, but as a whole person with real pain, real hope, and a real desire for healing. We meet you where you are, addressing your struggles in a personalized, compassionate way that goes beyond textbook solutions.

Each session helps you uncover clarity, gently peeling back layers of guilt, shame, or grief that have built up over time. As these emotional blocks are lifted, you’ll begin to reconnect with your true self, discovering relief, confidence, and emotional freedom.

Over time, you’ll feel the difference. The grief that once weighed you down begins to loosen. The emotional rollercoaster of anxiety and negative cycles starts to slow. Instead of feeling stuck, you’ll start moving forward—with a renewed sense of peace and purpose.

Whether you’re seeking grief support, anxiety therapy, or help navigating life transitions, our team of licensed therapists is here to walk beside you—every step of the way..

Here’s a Day in the Life at 3Cs.

Wondering what it’s like to start therapy with us? Imagine waking up on the day of your session feeling a sense of purpose—knowing you’re taking another step toward freedom from emotional pain, anxiety, or the trauma that’s been quietly weighing you down.

When you visit with one of our licensed therapists, you’ll realize you’re not just attending therapy. You’re reclaiming your life.

Each session is a space to breathe, reflect, and grow. You’re not rushed through a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, you’re met with empathy and evidence-based support designed to promote lasting emotional healing.

At 3Cs Counseling Center, we don’t believe in surface-level fixes. Our approach to long-term therapy helps you understand and work through the root causes of your struggles. This isn’t just about feeling better in the moment—it’s about creating a life where your past no longer controls your present.

And when the breakthroughs come, they’re powerful. They don’t just change how you feel—they reshape how you live. You’ll begin to notice positive shifts in your self-confidence, relationships, career, and overall mental wellness.

This is your space for deep, meaningful transformation—where therapy becomes the turning point for a healthier, more authentic you.

A Message from Sara:

“I believe the best therapists can relate to their clients – not because they understand their struggles in the context of what they read in a textbook but because they’ve been there. Clinical knowledge is necessary, but personal experience is invaluable.

I am passionate about what I do because I’ve been through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I’ve struggled. I’ve endured toxic relationships and circumstances, and I’ve harbored pain and resentment for what I felt was unfair. I’m far from perfect, and I’ve made poor decisions in trying to “heal.” Ultimately, I chose to use these difficulties as opportunities for growth. And the key word here is “choice.” Through life’s most challenging moments, we have a chance to build resiliency. We can get back up after we fall. But we must actively make this choice… even though it’s easier said than done.

At 3Cs, our entire team embraces the same philosophy, and we offer quality care because we’ve been there. We hear you, see you, and are here for you – every step of the way. You don’t have to stay stuck. Choose to take a chance so you can experience sustainable healing and change your life today.

Take that first step and give us a call. It’s a call that’ll change your life.”

Sincerely,

Sara Schwartz, MBA, MA, LPC, NCC, CAADC, NPT-C
