James R. Stanislaw, ACSW, I began my career teaching elementary school for two years after earning a bachelor’s degree in education from Wayne State University in 1972.  I went on to earn a Master of Social Work degree at Wayne State in 1976.  My two internships were St. Peter’s Home for Boys and Lafayette Clinic, each of which provided invaluable experience.  To develop sufficient knowledge and skill as a psychotherapist, I pursued post graduate study at the Institute for Individual and Group Psychotherapy.  Since self-knowledge was a major focus of my later training, I came to realize a thorough course of personal psychotherapy was crucial to my work as a psychotherapist.
