Christian Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI

I am a licensed Clinical Therapist in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have been in the field for over 10 years. I practice Solution Focused Therapy using Person Centered approach. My goal is not to change you but to help facilitate the change that you desire.

Amazing First Step! It's not easy trying to find the right person to partner with you on this healing journey. Are feeling overwhelmed with relationships, college, or work issues? Have you been hurt in your spiritual relationships in church in the past? I focus on therapeutic interventions & Biblical principles in mind. My desire is for you to unlock the strength & purpose in you and provide empathy, guidance, and support. I work with individuals without judgement of your spiritual and healing journey. My goal is to create a safe place for you regardless of your faith! (In-person sessions available soon.)

The majority of my practice is working with women and "women's issues." Many women seek guidance and counsel as they deal with the stages and changes in their lives. Childbirth through menopause, there are challenges that can provoke thought, action or concerns. Trauma from childhood sexual abuse can cause depression and anxiety. I have worked with many women concerning these issues. The use of EMDR therapy provides a tool to process through trauma and improve outcomes.

There isn’t a one size “fix” all package for mental health. What works for one; may not work for another. I will be the first one to tell you that I am not the expert in your pain, your life, or your journey. You are. I am simply here to walk alongside you and be a resource for your growth. I believe one of the hardest and bravest things you can do for yourself, is to not only understand your story, but to continue growing from it.

My role as a therapist is to help you recognize your needs and wants, and to offer you support during the process of healing and growth. My therapeutic philosophy is a strength-based approach that is based on my belief that you are the expert of your life. We will work together to discover the best way for you to find answers to your problems.

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist with a Doctorate and a master’s degree in clinical social work. I have experience working with adults and veterans within clinical inpatient and outpatient mental health settings and over 27 years of experience diagnosing and treating clients who have trauma experience. I employ a strengths-based client-centered perspective utilizing mindfulness psychotherapy and the whole health model to empower clients and emphasize a balance between the mind, body, and spirit, which promotes wellness.

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.

Do you feel stuck? Stuck in stress, stuck in family conflict, stuck in unhelpful habits, stuck in the midst of huge life transitions? Maybe you’re seeking change, but you don’t even know where to begin. Where are you “stuck”? I will tailor therapeutic support with your circumstances in mind— acknowledging your unique needs and strengths. By recognizing and honoring your distinctiveness, we will collaboratively navigate the complexities of your circumstances.

Your anxieties and worries are controlling too much of your life. That anxious inner voice won’t quiet down, and it’s just so convincing - you're frustrated that you listen to it, but you're scared not to. What if you ignore it and your worst fears come true? You know it’s irrational, but your anxiety just won’t let your brain believe the truth. You overthink so many things, and your inner dialog is exhausting you.

Thank you for visiting our post! We believe people come to therapy equipped with the tools needed to flourish in life and relationships. Sometimes the trials and tribulations of life get in the way. Unresolved fear(s), the past and loss can become barriers. We hope to assist those with the desire to grow in some area of their personal life and are willing to explore how to reach their potential. Our role is to come alongside and help build solutions that support the individual's best hopes.

Hey there! Reaching out for help can be scary and I am proud of you for taking that step. I consider it a privilege to help people on their healing journey. An important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist. I strive to cultivate a nurturing and supportive therapeutic environment. Everyone wants to feel heard and understood, and providing that is the foundation of our work together. My diverse and unique experiences make me a strong ally for change and healing. I provide a compassionate, yet direct approach to therapy which helps my clients feel supported on their journey.

Sometimes, the reasons why partners become upset with each other run deeper than the present circumstances. When partners persist in doing or saying things that upset each other over and over again, there is often something more at stake than meets the eye. Stop feeling stuck in the same old problem cycle. I have over 30 years helping couples, individuals, and families find new solutions to old problems. I have found my post-graduate training in marriage and family therapy to be a valuable resource in helping others achieve their goals and potential. I have also presented at national conferences.

My name is Adrian Dumas and I’m the founder of Helping Hands Counseling Services. I applaud you for taking the steps toward looking for a therapist who can best work with you. As a licensed professional counselor my goal is to provide a safe environment where you can explore possibilities of change in life and relationships. In private practice I provide counseling services that afford me the joy of working with an ethnically diverse community of adolescents, adults, and couples on various life issues. I strive to focus on personal wellness for the individual and/or their family, helping them lead fulfilling and healthy lives.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in private practice for 20+ years and love my job! I would be honored to help you with whatever struggles you are facing. My client's ages vary from teens through seniors. I have the belief that anyone, at any age, can make changes to enrich their lives. I provide individual, marital and family counseling.

Are you a First Responder, Chaplain, Pastor, active or retired, looking for an excellent counselor to talk to who won't be disgusted by what you may say? To be able to talk about what you've seen & done without repercussions? Why not speak to a counselor who has had over 20 years experience as a First Responder? I have been a Paramedic/Lt. Firefighter/Training Officer, 911 ECO, Reserve Deputy Sheriff, & an Armed Security Patrol Officer-FTO. Being a First Responder is rewarding, but difficult work. You're taking the first & hardest step in seeking help; I'm here to help you navigate through the rest.

I work with individuals, teens and couples dealing with issues including ineffective communication, spiritual struggles, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, high stress, perfectionism, divorce, fertility issues and more. If you are struggling with worrying too much, feeling down all the time, connecting with your young adult, unsure how to co-parent, need help with saving your relationship, or are just looking to make changes in your life, I can help. I create a safe and welcoming environment that starts with understanding and works toward change.

No one is perfect - We've all behaved petty at some point in our lives. Over the years, petty has become popular, going viral via social media around the world; however, what I've learned in life & in this field is whether we have been that person or been impacted by someone, we can all chase the root down to something deeper than the situation, i.e. sadness, anxiety or trauma. I am here to offer you a non-judgmental space to process from the petty to highly problematic experience. I invite you to work with me to heal from the inside out (or root to the surface) and have more peaceful experiences with yourself & others. Let's talk!

Do you feel stuck having the same arguments where you know how things will end before it begins? Everyone experiences periods of difficulties as life changes and turns in unexpected directions. Whatever difficulties you are facing, you do not need to face them alone. As a marriage and family therapist, I will provide you and your family the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges in a safe, warm and understanding environment. Seeking help is not always easy although it can be rewarding.

Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss of employment, and countless other challenges can lead to loss of direction and loss of hope. Maybe you feel stuck by your present or your past. I've been there too. When the cloud of struggle keeps you from moving forward, it is important to share your story. You were uniquely created, and your response to the world is yours alone. Sharing your story takes courage, but on the other side is healing, wholeness and your fullest life.
