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.
