I work with children, teens, and adults who have been through a traumatic experience, and other changes throughout life. I work to help you or your child process those changes, support the family system, and help regulate through those challenging behaviors. Through play, connection, and relationship building I use evidence-based practices to help support my clients where their needs are at.

I work with clients of all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, sexualities, and backgrounds. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and safe environment for you to share your experiences and concerns. I believe the purpose of counseling is to establish a helping relationship whereby I will collaboratively assists you in revealing and promoting your unlimited potential. I also feel that my primary role as a counselor to help you 1) move forward in constructive directions, 2) regain the faith to change and 3) use obstacles encountered in your life as opportunities for personal growth and development.

With each personalized session I will use alternative and integrative modalities combined with traditional talk therapy which can be a powerful way for an individual to move through the healing process and reconnect with their inherent state of wellness. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues and much more. By embarking on the journey of self discovery that comes with entering Psychotherapy, you may find a new sense of wholeness and peace in your life.

I am a Social Worker with 32 years experience. I have worked with clients/couples with a wide range of concerns including: stress, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship issues, domestic abuse, intimacy issues, parenting problems, medical issues, grief, self esteem, coping with life changes, and military issues. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels.

Are you confused, lost, overwhelmed, or anxious about your next steps? As a career counselor, I have over 19 years of experience counseling individuals who are facing major life transitions including career crossroads, job loss, underemployed, career dissatisfaction, relocation, anxiety, school issues, grief, and divorce. I help individuals who feel lost and overwhelmed about their lives and careers, create strategic plans toward career satisfaction. The anxiety and confusion created by major life transitions can be debilitating. My empathetic and compassionate nature helps individuals feel understood and find a focused path.

When navigating our different systems including our medical, family, and individual circles, therapy can be a positive service in which to seek help and support. I provide therapy to children, teenagers, and young adults. Some of the more specific needs that I specialize in is chronic illness in children, teenage anxiety and depression, Prenatal/Perinatal mothers, and caregiver burnout.

I specialize in relationships, with problems including trust issues, communication problems, infidelity, or other problems that occur within a relationship. I also specialize in anxiety and depression related to trauma. I graduated from Arizona State with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2009 and am also trained in Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with couples, families, children, adolescents, elderly and individuals with diverse backgrounds. I believe therapy is a collective and transforming process in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

As long as you have breath in your body, there will always be a need to "talk" to someone about life. What if I told you there is a difference between talking to someone and sharing your life experiences? As your therapist, it is important to express yourself in the best way you know how. It’s important that your decisions are respected in a safe space, so you feel comfortable, healthy and happy. It is my goal to empower you to engage in healthy behaviors through challenging alternative thoughts to increase your capability to recover from difficulties. I am in this with you. I celebrate your joys and process tough times with you.

You have the ability to activate the change you seek. Like a river, your journey through life can at times be bumpy, going over several rocks, sticks and stones. It can overflow with excessive rainfall or dry up with no moisture. It can be shallow or deep. I believe in times of darkness the light is found within. Counseling can help you find peace inside yourself so that your river may never stop flowing. The counseling process is unique to every individual and is designed to encourage maximum growth within a supportive environment. Together we will identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil.

I have a passion for supporting women through their journey of fertility, pregnancy and postpartum. I enjoy creating a safe and supportive space for women to receive support as they are learning about perinatal and anxiety mood disorders and the impact it might have on them. In particular I treat anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar and trauma associated with pregnancy, birth, and loss. In addition to treating perinatal mood disorders I also truly enjoy working with adolescents, young adults and adults struggling with life transitions, parenting, anxiety, trauma, depression, and bipolar. I would be honored to help you!

I specialize in recovery from trauma, substance use disorders, depression, and anxiety. I also work with mood disorders, self-esteem, and other life stressors. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I believe that therapy is a partnership. It is your life, your well-being, and your healing. I am here to provide a non-judgmental space, skills, and a structured approach to finding healing together.

Life can be challenging, and at different times in our lives we are all in need of additional support, whatever the reason may be. If you are at that point and ready to explore therapy, I would be privileged to join you, and support yourself, your child, or your family. I have been working in the field for over 15 years and strongly believe that you are the expert on yourself and your family, together we will focus on strengths, to create goals that allow you and/or your family to grow and improve your daily living. I can help you develop skills for dealing with anxiety, mood disorders, depression, among other things.

I am thrilled to be able to offer counseling services to people that live in the West Michigan area. Although, I specialize in the treatment of children and adolescents, I also enjoy working with individuals and couples. If you are having difficulty with adjusting to new life circumstances, having relationship issues, or if you are a person that is living with a Mental Illness I am eager to help you work through your situation. Life is too short to face your problems alone and I am always willing to listen and help you work towards a new way to face your life's challenges.

I work with adults and adolescents in individual therapy. My areas of expertise include helping people overcome anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, compulsive behaviors, sexual orientation issues, and relationship conflicts to live more fulfilled lives. I also specialize in treating adolescents in areas such as anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, behavioral problems, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), and social skills development.

Counseling provides a safe place for healing to occur. Children, teens and adults benefit from a private spot to sort out conflicting feelings, difficult life circumstances and relationship problems. Learning new ways of facing dilemmas present in everyday life produces energy. During therapy, many of my clients begin to experience an inner calm, increased self confidence and/or a clearer sense of self-concept, which in turn leads to a deeper sense of well being.

I work with couples, families, & individuals. My work is rooted in relationships & clients come to me feeling disconnected & stuck in unsustainable patterns without knowing how break free from the cycle. Often, clients have inherited these patterns from dysfunctional families or developed them to survive difficult times. The cycles are harder to change when facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, betrayal, grief, rejection, or the burden of cultural, religious, & family of origin expectations. Eventually, clients want to find a way to liberate themselves from this pattern but don't know what that looks like or where to begin.

I have worked with adolescents and adults as a counselor and as an educator for more than 17 years. As a therapist, I use a holistic approach to wellness with an eclectic incorporation of many techniques in mental health and education. I believe in empowering clients in determining their best use of resources to overcome obstacles and achieving their overall wellness and potential. I enjoy working with clients who are in transition - end of a relationship, loss of employment, heading to college - to name a few. These are stressful times, and I partner with clients as they navigate these changes.

My intention as a psychotherapist is to create a comforting environment where people can bring their life challenges and trauma to work through without the fear of being judged or harmed. In sessions, I use a person-centered and strength-based lens in order to build the best possible therapeutic relationship with my clients. I approach each individual as whole beings by paying attention to the emotional, physical, spiritual, and societal components that make us all human. It is a joy to come alongside my clients with compassion, empathy, and support.

First and foremost, kudos to you for prioritizing your self-care and wellness. My name is Elisabeth Bock and my practice is Rise Counseling Group & Holistic Wellness. My business partner and I opened Rise to create a safe and comfortable space for those seeking a holistic approach to addressing human experiences like anxiety and depression, relationship problems, life transitions, career/home/school stress, pressures of parenting, and grief. But Rise was also created with the intention to offer services to those who would like to focus on self-care, personal growth, and finding meaning and purpose. All are welcome here.
