Priority Health Therapists in Byron Center, MI

As a therapist, I enjoy assisting clients among the various stages in life. I come from over 14 years of experience as a social worker in a variety of capacities. I am excited to work with adult clients to help them figure out what they want for their lives and move towards obtaining it.

We all experience stress and strain, heartaches and disappointments, and at times, pressure that feels so great we're not even sure we can go on. For you, it might be the pressure of your role as a parent, concerns about work and family life, addiction issues. parent-child relationships, couples concerns, finances, and, or other life stressors. Our diverse team of clinical counselors are here to help you.

Clients have expressed that my positivity and humor, mixed with realism and accountability, are helpful in the therapy process. Together we will build an authentic connection, get to the core of recurring problems, and heal from life events. One of my favorite quotes is, “No one knows you better than yourself”. Even so, at times we struggle to heal and make changes on our own. Sometimes we need help evaluating our relationships and experiences from a new perspective.

Hi, I’m Naomi Grimm, LLPC, a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor, and I'm currently accepting new clients, so, for the time being anyway, there's no waiting to get in to see me. I completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University and my undergrad in Psychology at Cornerstone University.

***In-Person Appointments*** The most expensive kind of therapy is the kind that doesn't work. Maybe it feels scary to wonder if real healing can happen. I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist and I combine EMDR with IFS therapy to create an effective method that has worked for permanent healing time and again. Instead of feeling bad about certain parts of ourselves, I encourage people to instead get curious and compassionate toward these "parts of themselves" that are trying to keep them safe and help them by making them anxious, angry, or even depressed.(Sounds strange, right?) We slow things down and get to know you, one part at a time.

Learning to navigate your heart—its past and present aches and longings—and learning how to walk alongside others is essential for discovering purpose in your life. Real, meaningful living involves finding safe places to tell your story and share your struggles; it means relying on someone to hear and hold what your heart has held alone. Counseling is a focused and supportive space for such work to be done. Every journey begins with a single step. An inch in the right direction.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress reactions trying to manage everything? Do you have a hard time making a decision and following through? Do you want to improve your interpersonal communication skills? Are you adjusting to health changes? I can help you by creating a safe, supportive environment to aide you in self exploration, self care, and personal and professional goal setting. I understand that work life balance, career issues, and adjustment to health concerns can be overwhelming.

Sometimes we all need to find extra connection and support. Whether it be new or chronic symptoms of anxiety or depression, challenges from your past, or you are seeking counseling for extra self-care, I would be honored to be your supportive connection. Together we can work to identify goals that are meaningful for you and promote wellness in your life. In a session with me, my goal is to make you feel welcome, seen, and heard. My therapy style is person-centered, and I will always approach our connection with empathy and respect.

Thank you for seeking out help. It takes bravery and courage to take this step. Breanne Thomas is a Licensed Master Social Worker with a master's degree from Baylor University.

Life can be described as a beautiful gift, and it is also true that life can present us with circumstances that seem unfair and insufferable. When this occurs, we could benefit from support that enables us to develop insight into ourselves, obtain clarity, identify choices, accept responsibility, foster growth, learn new skills, build resilience, pursue freedom, and feel heard, seen, and empowered as we navigate life. Asking for help is challenging for many reasons, but I have witnessed how being receptive to support has brought about a multitude of blessings. I would love to serve as a source of hope and light on your journey.

Hello there, I'm Rosette Nsenga-Molin, a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) I specialize in working with children, teens and adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, behavior modification, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and major life changes. I received my Masters from Andrews University and a Bachelors in Psychology from Burman University. I have served in multiple capacities including community mental health and counseling & testing centers. I specialize in the use of modalities such as play therapy, trauma-focused CBT and solution-focused therapy.

To be able to enter into a season of recovery, one must take the step to enter into a season of vulnerability. Starting where you are and taking the first step can be difficult, though seeking help is a great place to start. I am passionate about self-advocacy and providing a safe space for you. I will tailor treatment to fit your unique needs and situation, while we work together to process through your concerns and harness your strength and resiliency.

Reaching out for help to deal with the struggles of life can be scary. I applaud you for taking the first step by looking for a therapist who can work best with you. I am a licensed professional counselor who received a Master's degree from Western Michigan University in the area of Marriage, Couple and Family therapy. I currently provide mental health therapy in the outpatient setting and strive to give clients a safe space to heal and grow. I am passionate about helping others be the best they can be.

My goal when a client comes in to my office is for them to feel like they are safe to share anything. Most of my clients have experienced hardships or trauma that can be hard to talk about, but it's often necessary to heal. I am curious to learn about the lives people have lived and what has molded and shaped them. There are so many heavy aspects of life that we can carry. I take a holistic approach to identifying problem areas, understanding how the mind and body are connected in storing trauma, emotions, patterns of familial influence, and figuring out how to break out of cycles that limit people from living a fulfilling life.

I know you're "fine, totally fine, absolutely fine"...but just in case you're a little "not fine", I'm here. Maybe you are here because people whom you’ve naturally turned to for care and protection have hurt or neglected you in some way. Or maybe you're here because you have found yourself unable to honor the commitments and promises that you have made to yourself; or those whom you love due to your addictive behaviors. It takes time to allow the reality behind our symptoms to reveal themselves. Treatment can help you feel more present in the moment, in control of your world, compassionate towards all of your parts, and safe.

Life is full of unexpected challenges, struggles, and disappointments. You may feel as though you are not good enough. Perhaps you are hard on yourself when situations do not go as you expect. You might feel overwhelmed by the demands on your time. Maybe you just don't feel like you are thriving. Whether you are struggling with infertility/secondary infertility, pregnancy/postpartum, grief, birth trauma, parenting, menopause, anxiety, depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, you don't have to walk alone.

My ideal client would be someone looking for balance in their life. At times life can be difficult, lonely and/or confusing, we are not meant to do this alone. Sometimes we lose our way and need someone to walk beside us, someone who can offer insight and encouragement. I would love to be that person for you.
