Anxiety Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI
Key areas of my practice include non-traditional relationships, kink and sex positivity, grief/loss, trauma processing, anxiety, depression and life transitions.
I believe every person has a unique story, influenced by all of the situations and life experiences that have led up to this moment. My goal as a therapist is to build a warm and trusting relationship with you in order to support and encourage your personal growth and change. With both my personal and professional experience with blended families, non-monogamous relationships and anxiety/depression, I understand how difficult it can be to find a therapist who can provide a non-judgmental space to navigate your deepest thoughts and feelings. It is my goal to provide a space that is safe and welcoming for every client.

My experiences stem from working alongside individuals with substance use, anxiety, grief/loss, depression, and trauma.
Taking the first step to seek help for yourself can be scary and overwhelming, but once the first step is taken, it becomes easier to take the next few. It can be difficult to manage life on life’s terms by yourself. You are not alone, as I am here to help you through life’s unexpectancies. Whether you are struggling with current stressors, past life experiences or everything far and in between, help is here. My role is to listen, guide, support and empower those who are struggling. I aim to provide a open-minded, safe, and empathic environment to explore your stressors, concerns and life experiences without judgment.

I have experience working with those at various ages and stages of life, a multitude of races, ethnicities, and nationalities, and navigating several co-occurring diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma and stress related to the immigrant/refugee/first gen experience, etc.
In my almost decade of working with individuals, families, and systems I have found that the greatest amount of healing and change happens in relationship with others. None of us is an island-even if we’ve often had to operate as one. Together we will co-create a space where you feel able to both rest and grow in yourself. This means that I strive to not only support you in processing all that you bring to our sessions, but in reimagining how you can engage with people, places, and systems outside of our sessions.

Life is difficult, and sometimes challenges can overwhelm us. In over 20 years of counseling, I have gained a wealth of experience in helping people achieve meaningful growth and a greater sense of well-being. I feel called to help others through periods of depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse, divorce, disability, trauma, abuse, and issues related to gender identity and sexuality. And as someone who identifies as a transgender female, I am naturally a strong advocate and ally for all those within the LGBTQIA+ community.

She specializes in working with individuals with anxiety, trauma, depression and life transition concerns.
Hillary believes that the foundation of counseling is a therapeutic relationship that offers a safe and comfortable environment. Sharing your story while experiencing acceptance helps to drive the therapeutic process and lay the foundation for real healing and growth. She believes counseling can be a place to explore your patterns, come to understand factors that contributed to your development, and find a balance between accepting yourself and changing patterns that are no longer serving you.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults who struggle with trauma, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and urges, borderline personality disorder, and anxiety.
As a Master’s level clinician I strive to help clients improve their lives and learn new skills, techniques, ways of viewing themselves, and the world around them in a way that may reduce pain and suffering. I frequently use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help empower and guide individuals in their healing journey. I believe we are all capable of finding relief, strength, and a new way of perceiving ourselves and our environment, despite the difficult and unique challenges we face.

I have years of experience specifically treating depression, anxiety, and reactions to trauma.
Life has a way of happening to us sometimes, and we realize we might need support, but fear stops us from taking the next step forward. I like to take time to get to know each person and build a relationship with them that conveys trust, respect, and understanding. My goal as a therapist has been to be a support for individuals and walk with people in their journey to become the best versions of themselves. If I am your therapist, you can expect to be met with empathy, support, respect, and understanding. When anyone comes through my door, they can expect not to be judged or shamed for any of their history or previous experiences.

I address the concern of anxiety different than most.
I believe that the counseling session should be a place where people can take a break from the daily grind and invest in themselves in meaningful ways. In my practice, I encourage individuals to share the richness of their life stories, to replace oppressive thought patterns, and to reclaim their unique contribution to the world. My approach to counseling is integrated. I believe that unique individuals require unique therapy. It is my job to shape the therapeutic experience to best fit the needs of the individual.

I also work side by side with people to help with identifying and resolving the causes of depression and anxiety along with skills to work through the struggling moments.
I work with people across the life span to meet them where they are. I believe people are the experts on themselves, but just need help with navigating what is inside, so they can see their own self-worth and potential. In helping people work through their traumatic experiences, we can take a new approach where the person does not have to tell their story AGAIN and relive their experiences. Instead we can look at how the mind and brain react and recognize how to build resiliency to achieve an optimal level of happiness, calm, and freedom from being owned by emotional responses.

In my work with kids I focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, sensory issues, school difficulties, problems with peers, behavioral issues, and grief.
Being a child in today’s changing world is not easy, and parenting our children through the struggles they are facing can make us feel inadequate, helpless, and unsure. How do we support our children navigating through anxiety, depression, school issues, troubles with peers, grief and loss...all complicated by the pandemic? Sometimes, kids and families need extra support, and there is no shame in seeking support and help for our kids as they journey through life. Quite the opposite...doing so can provide them with the tools and coping skills they need to in order to tackle whatever they are experiencing, now and in the future.
