We are a Fee-Only advisory service dating back to 1973. The work of the firm naturally integrates the work of a psychotherapist and a comprehensive financial planner. As you may intuitively understand, money is a highly charged emotional matter for many people and without effective financial knowledge and good practices, the road to financial peace of mind might become a mere meandering in the wilderness.
And, in my experience, sometimes psychotherapy is what is really called for, while at other times, it is more a matter of creating and implementing a solid financial plan. Conveniently located in the Ann Arbor area, Wolakota Advisors are a personal, fee-only advisory firm founded in 2006 with the mission of providing comprehensive financial and psychotherapeutic advice on a fee-only basis.

Services
No one at Wolakota Advisors is interested in selling you insurance, stock, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, limited partnerships or anything else. Our compensation comes exclusively from a fee.

Seeking out therapy is an individual choice. There are many reasons why people come to therapy. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing psychological issues, or problems with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life such as a divorce or work transition.

Michael Rudy, of Wolakota Advisors, has prepared my taxes and provided me with financial planning advice for well over 10 years.
