Hi, I am Glenn. Decades of working with people as a teacher, salesman, builder, and counselor have confirmed what I was taught in graduate school. The most powerful instrument I have in promoting change and healing is my relationship with a client. The Covid-19 restrictions have taught me that I can achieve healing relationships through on-line video platforms. I can continue to use Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and many other treatments that are evidence-based. I am well experienced in working with Children and Adolescents with years of experience treating them and their families in their homes. I have been extensively trained in treating trauma reactions in children and adults. I hold a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University and am fully prepared to integrate science and faith to the degree that you are comfortable in order to gain success and healing. My license is as a Professional Counselor in Michigan. If I could help you with depression, anxiety, parenting, relational issues, or reactions to trauma, I would appreciate the opportunity.

I am a licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Registered Art Therapist in Michigan with over 14 years of experience working as a School Counselor and Art Therapist. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including bullying, self esteem, discrimination, relationship issues and parenting problems. I have also helped many people communicate more freely by incorporating simple art techniques through our talk therapy sessions. At times, it helps to talk when there is not an actual problem or situation, but just as a release of sorts of daily life stressors. My counseling style is open and light. I believe in treating people with respect, open-mindedness, and humanity. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive counseling. We will identify what your goals need to be and break them down into small, achievable, non-intimidating steps. There is nothing wrong with "good selfish". We take care of our bodies, our spirit and our health.... mental health is just as important! Let's Talk!

Hi - I'm Sam! My pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified life coach who loves working with clients ages 20-39. My clients get the best of both worlds when we work together: the clinical expertise of a mental health professional combined with the consistent encouragement and accountability structures of a certified life coach. My clinical expertise is in treating posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, complicated grief, and adjustment disorders. I've worked with a diverse range of people throughout my career including specialty populations such as service members and Veterans, oncology and hospice patients, and college students. I use evidence-based therapy modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Grief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Crisis Response Planning. As a coach, I love coaching people around topics such as self-compassion, boundary-setting, life purpose, money mindset, decision-making, and assertive communication. My therapy style is empathic, direct, and goal-oriented, and I am extremely collaborative in my sessions. I want us to be on the same page, and we will work closely together to develop your treatment plan, overcome your "stuck points," experience healing, and begin truly living your life, again (not just existing in it!). You will quickly notice my laid-back nature in our sessions. I encourage all of my clients to come as they are, and I will do the same! You will always be welcome and encouraged to ask any and all questions that come up during our sessions because I want you to take an active role in your care. I am passionate about teaching my clients how to advocate for themselves as it is a necessary skill to thrive in the world we live in today. Finally, my practice is rooted in my values, some of which include anti-racism work, healthcare equity and inclusion, and having unconditional positive regard for all people. I am just as interested in your unique background, identities, and life experiences as I am your presenting mental health symptoms, so we will talk about both equally! I've worked with a variety of client populations such as military/veterans and their families, LGBTQ+, college students, oncology patients, foster/adoptive parents, and individuals experiencing homelessness. I consider it a great honor to serve as a vessel to your story and experiences, and I love helping my clients who have survived trauma reclaim their power and take back their health and future. You have already done one of the hardest things, which is reaching out for support! I have learned that the only way out...is through. I'm looking forward to walking alongside you in this next chapter. Beautiful things await on the other side...see you there!
