ADHD Therapists in Ottawa County, MI

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families in areas relating to anxiety, depression, general relationship concerns, health issues, life transitions, marriage counseling, ADHD/ADD, and faith. I also specialize in psychological assessing for ADHD/ADD, professional/organizational development as well as other areas.

People who choose therapy to heal are cycle breakers. They have decided enough is enough, and have found strength to seek help. It is such an honor to be able to help others discover themselves, unlocking mysteries and learning new strategies to live their best lives and becoming the best version of themselves. ADHD, trauma, grief, life transitions such as divorce or starting a new career, breaking unhealthy habits or cycles created by family through past generations are some examples of what I enjoy working on with clients. The list is endless, and bottom line, if you are ready to dive in, I'm ready for you!

Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a professional mental health counselor that specializes in adolescent care. I specialize in working with teens and young adults that struggle with numerous difficulties, including ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. While I currently serve many younger children and their families, I am currently only accepting teens and young adults (college age) in order to diversify my practice.

Although I spend a lot of time conducting psychological assessments, I truly enjoy the time I get to spend as a therapist walking through life with my clients. At one point in time or another, all of us struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, big-emotions and overall ineffectiveness in our life. In therapy, we not only spend time discussing ongoing issues and current difficulties, but we also focus on themes in our lives and the ways that our thinking patterns can inhibit our ability to create the unique life that we want to live.

No matter what challenges you are facing, my hope is to help you work through them while providing strategies that will help you reach your goals. With my trauma-informed background, I love using a person-centered approach to fit the individual needs of each client. Each client is different, and each person deserves a tailored approach.

Finding the right therapist to guide you through a particular setback, conflict or crisis along life's journey can be a daunting process....I know. Being a psychologist for 30 years and having been involved in hundreds of hours of my own personal therapy during my doctoral training, I understand the importance of the right client/therapist match. Successful outcomes are more promising when one feels comfortable, safe and confident with a competent experienced professional. Selecting a therapist should not be an impulsive decision so take your time and be particular since you are about to invest time, finances and trust.

"Your Path to Well-being" We are a group of clinical and counseling psychologists. Dr. Chris Jansen-Yee is the supervising psychologist for four Master's Level, or Limited Licensed Psychologists serving the greater Muskegon area. We are general family practitioners yet each of us has areas of greater interest and focus. Our newest addition is Lucinda Barnum-Steggerda, MDiv, LMSW. Lucinda is an experienced master of social work clinician. She is a caring, dedicated healing professional with 31 years of experience in social services . She specializes in Trauma-Focused CBT with children & adults, integrating mind, body & spirit.

I prioritize healthy relationships- with others, with ourselves, and with the world around us. I see the need for deeper emotional and physiological understanding to identify where we can become stuck with ourselves and in our relationships. I seek to create a space for introspection and self-compassion in the therapist-client relationship so that you can explore your authentic narrative, your inherent worth, and areas where you may need healing.

Life does not always give us the opportunity to slow down and process all of the experiences that it throws at us. Oftentimes, it feels impossible to move forward when we feel paralyzed by our thoughts and feelings. I’m here to help foster a safe space in order for you to heal and grow as an individual. My specialties include depression, anxiety and stress, interpersonal and/or relationship challenges, generational trauma, PTSD, neurodiversity, and transationally adopted individuals. As a neurodivergent therapist, I am passionate about working with individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD and/or ASD.

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.

We all want to change in some way, and I believe that real, visible change comes from an internal motivation to be better versions of ourselves. By looking at the uncomfortable or unexamined parts within ourselves, that positive change becomes possible.

My name is Michelle VanNoord and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in working with children, adolescents and adults. As children grow and change, they often think and respond differently than adults would. I meet kids where they are at to help them through their struggles in a way that makes sense to them. I help parents understand the limits of the developing brain and how that can play into some of the struggles their child might be experiencing. I have worked in the school setting, taught college level classes and continue to speak to local teachers about the ways children grow and understand the world.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for empowering individuals to navigate life’s challenges and find healing and growth. I believe therapy offers the opportunity to transform our current experience and enhance the mind and body relationship. I have a particular interest in women’s health. Whether you are navigating the complexities of mental health, coping with challenges of chronic illness, or seeking skills to improve overall well-being, I am here to offer compassionate support and evidence-based interventions fit to your needs.

I believe in a Client-centered, Cognitive-Behavioral approach with an emphasis on personal responsibility, accountability, and ownership of problem solving to bring about personal change. I specifically use the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model. The goal of ACT is acceptance of what is out of personal control, and a commitment to action for life improvement and enrichment. Additionally, mindfulness training including meditation, relaxation, and guided imagery can be used for therapeutic intervention.

Accepting new clients in person and virtually! I work with ages 13-adult. My purpose in counseling is to help each client achieve their social, personal, career and emotional development goals. I tailor my approach to each client's needs, always providing an un-biased, non-judgmental, listening ear.

Sometimes we don't understand why we feel the way we do or even how our feelings guide us in our choices. It can be a complex process to navigate for children, teens and adults. I have extensive experience working with individuals seeking understanding and clarity with their emotions. I have worked with individuals to understand and manage anxiety, depression, anger, oppositional defiance, ADHD, and severe emotional dysregulation. Together we will find the path to success because You Matter!

Have you ever wished for a way to feel better and learn to manage your emotions or a way to a better future? I work with children and adolescents, and those who care for them. I have experience in the areas of stress reduction/coping, post-partum depression, anxiety, and grief and loss. With children, I treat trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, and behavioral disorders such as ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I have also worked with PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) with children who have autism and are nonverbal.

I provide counseling for children, teenagers, young adults, and new mothers. I have years of experience working directly with children - including working with children in the foster care system, caring for children in the public school system, and therapeutically supporting children. My goal is to work with individuals who need guidance in the struggles of life. I am open to all walks of life and strive to create a supportive mentorship role with all clients.

Hello! Are you currently feeling overwhelmed, powerless, or like life's challenges are too much to bear? Are you grappling with feelings of anxiety or depression? Do you desire assistance but hesitate to move forward due to fear? I understand and I am here for you! Whether you are a teen, adult, or senior, I can help you feel better and achieve your goals. I believe in fostering a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences.
