Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Grandville, MI

My ideal client would be age 12 or older and be seeking an ADHD diagnosis or treatment. I am currently accepting referrals for ADHD testing for children, teens, and young adults. This can be done in person or virtually. I do accept insurance and self-pay for ADHD testing. I utilize the FDA-cleared QBcheck for computerized ADHD testing.

I am passionate about working with individuals who feel that life is unmanageable and they feel out of step with the world. Often these are individuals with a trauma history, who are struggling with intense emotions or relationships they can’t manage.

When invited into that space of struggle I will seek to provide a space for you to gain skills, find support to increase connections, safety and individual strength.

Growing the life you want We have one life that we get to live, and so we only have one chance to find and create meaning for our lives. So often we can be hindered by our fears and from the painful points of resistance that we have encountered along the way.

But we can grow and recover, and taking the time to slow down and care for ourselves is a liberating experience.
