At Aloe Psychology we know that the relationship between therapist and client is very important.
The client must first feel comfortable establishing a level of trust and respect.

Dana Monforton
MA, LLP
Therapy
Hello! My name is Dana (pronouns: she/her/hers), and I’m one of the clinicians at Aloe.
I received my MA in clinical psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology and completed my clinical practicum at a community mental health clinic. My graduate research focused on perinatal loss, ADHD in adult women, and effective psychotherapy for older adults. My practical training included psychological assessment and therapy for adults, adolescents, and couples.
I am formally trained in the humanistic-existential approach to therapy but my clinical lens draws from a variety of evidence-based practices. As a therapist, my aim is to enable and encourage my clients to bring their entire selves into the room: behaviors, memories, bad habits, lofty dreams, a broken heart, prejudices, triumphs…everything. It’s my responsibility and incredible privilege to assure my clients that what they share will be met with empathy and compassion. Any progress made in the therapy room starts there.

Dr. Rebecca Kapetansky
PsyD, DLLP
Therapy
Hello! My name is Beckie and I am a relational-cultural psychologist rooted in humanistic/existential therapies. This means I am person-centered and focused on relationships (including the one between therapist and client) as well as cultural aspects of an individual. Relationships are fundamental in both hurting and healing. By focusing on understanding how individuals relate to others, the world, an themselves, I am better able to foster growth and self-awareness within the therapeutic relationship. I believe therapy can be a place of empowerment and safe connection for those I serve.
I also integrate CBT, ACT, and other modalities as needed. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses, including autism, ADHD, anxiety and panic disorder, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and gender dysphoria. I have specialized in Autism, ADHD, and giftedness, as well as serving individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. I utilize principles of neurodiversity (the idea that there are natural divergences in the brain) to help me to understand and serve all individuals.
I spent 10 years practicing with my master’s, providing home based therapy to individuals with developmental disabilities, before going back to school for my doctorate. I currently have a PsyD with a master’s level license (LLP), and I am working towards becoming a fully licensed psychologist (LP).
Some of my other psychological experiences include working in long term care facilities with older adults, neuropsychological assessments, inpatient for both substance abuse and acute psych, community mental health, and private practice.
Dr. Roxanne Christensen
PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Therapy
Hello! My name is Dr. Christensen and I am a person-centered, humanistic-existential depth practitioner who has built my practice and clinical skill for the past decade integrating cognitive and behavioral techniques with a dynamic consideration for the context of an individual’s self-narration. I blend my professional experiences of working with various populations with my personal life experiences as a feminist-multicultural practitioner-of-color, integrating Eastern and Western philosophical thoughts and practices.
My practice is founded upon a dedication to mental wellness and I work with people committed to achieving life congruence by bringing into balance their past histories, present needs and desires, and future goals. I believe therapeutic growth is developed through an authentic relationship between patient and practitioner to address both the surface symptoms present and the underlying stuck patterns which maintain incongruence. My therapy approach involves a collaborative process with the patient as an expert in their experiencing of the world joined with my expertise in humanistic care.
I practice in Rochester Hills where I see patients in-person and am available by appointment Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9 AM - 2 PM. Please contact the Aloe front office so we can prepare our journey together!
