About Sally
Sally K. Palaian, Ph.D.
I’m Dr. Sally Palaian; a licensed clinical psychologist and the author of Spent: Break the
Buying Obsession and Discover Your True Worth.    

Drawing from my personal experience growing up in a financially dysfunctional home, I’ve
developed many practical and psychological tools.  I love to inspire others – both individuals
and couples to turn dreams into reality by making necessary lifestyle and financial
decisions.  

I’ve been in practice for over 20 years doing individual, couples and group therapy.
Through the years I have worked with every type of addiction:  food, alcohol & drugs, sex,
gambling and compulsive spending addictions.  I love helping people learn to live your own
life and lifestyle, not someone else’s.  I also help you to untangle yourselves within
relationships, jobs, and lives that are no longer working.

In addition, I am certified in Imago Relationship Therapy, which I have found to be very
effective in working through problems that couples and families have.  We can’t save all
relationships, but I know that Imago does save many of them.  I love helping couples identify
the underlying problems in their relationships.  
Serving individuals and couples in Bingham Farms, Michigan  sally@sallypalaian.com
I love helping people to change—to discover who you are inside and stretch to fulfill more of your potential. Life is short, don
t wait too long to get help for yourself. You don’t need to go the journey alone. Most of my clients have a lot of information from
self help books but don’t always know how to implement changes. Whether you are seeking money counseling, marriage
counseling or psychotherapy, remember that you are worth taking the next step for yourself and following through on your
interest in self improvement.

Therapy isn’t what you see on television.  Meaningful change doesn’t come magically.  Sometimes it seems to take forever,
and sometimes change is more sudden.  Sometimes it’s hard work, and sometimes it is way easier than you thought.  But,
psychological change is possible.
