Therapy can help make your life better

About Dr. Huprich
Steven K. Huprich, PhD, ABPP

I work with adults who want to understand why their lives are not going the way they want and who unsuccessfully have struggled to overcome their challenges on their own. I have 25 years of experience in independent clinical practice and have trained hundreds of individuals to become psychologists. Having a strong background in higher education and academia, I am familiar with the latest treatment advances and can tailor my work with you to best suit your individual needs.

I am a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and Society for Personality Assessment. . I also am board certified in clinical psychology by the American Board fof Professional Psychology. My office serves individuals in Northville, Northville Twp., Novi, Plymouth, and surrounding areas, though a number of people from southeast Michigan and throughout Michigan select me as their provider.

Past accomplishments include:

  • Past-President of the International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders
  • Past-Editor, Journal of Personality Assessment
  • 2013 winner of the Theodore Millon Award for mid-career achievements in personality psychology, awarded by the American Psychological Foundation and Division 12 of the American Psychological Association.

Kiera Kunkle, PhD

I work with adults and older adolescents experiencing difficulty in navigating life's many challenges and uncertainties. Since 2018, I have provided clinical services in a variety of treatment settings throughout Metro Detroit. Having worked with a diverse population, I recognize each client as a unique individual and tailor therapeutic experiences to fit your needs. I provide therapy primarily from a psychodynamic orientation, integrating skills-based approaches as needed. Within a supportive, empathic environment, my style of therapy explores past experiences that often shape our current functioning. Through a deeper understanding of ourselves and our patterns, therapy can facilitate change. My goal is to promote curiosity, insight, and autonomy, allowing for healthier ways of coping and healing.
