Ronald T.
Archambault, L.M.S.W., A.C.S.W.
Compassionate, insightful and interactive, Mr. Archambault
founded Archambault & Associates, PC in 1980 to fill a
void in the therapeutic and counseling community. By
bringing together a group of dedicated, highly experienced
professionals, Archambault & Associates was able to
provide a wide range of mental health services through
Detroit area churches and community settings. Bypassing
expensive office space and “leather couch” staging, A&A
was able to offer top-of-the-line professional counseling
at affordable prices, so no one who needed help was unable
to afford the best. With an extensive resume of experience
in community and industrial mental health as well as
substance abuse counseling, Mr. Archambault now focuses on
individual and couple sessions dealing with relationship
issues, sexual abuse, panic disorders and alcohol and
marijuana abuse. Utilizing Gestalt, imagery and other
therapeutic techniques, he works hand-in-hand with clients
to help them reach their goals. With a Masters in Social
Work from the University of Michigan, Mr. Archambault has
served as a consultant to the Ford Motor Company, Michigan
Bell, Hazelden and the Budd Company and has authored a
book entitled, Reaching out – a Guide to EAP
Casefinding, about his experiences in the industrial
field.
