Therapists in Zeeland, MI

I once heard that in order to live a fulfilling life you need to live it fully everyday. Living fully can look different from day to day. Some days living fully may bring joy, peace, excitement, & love as you form new relationships, pursue your passions, & discover more about yourself. Yet other days living fully may bring frustration, sorrow, fear, and pain as you face loss, trauma, and uncertainty. In either of these cases, living fully is done in relationship and living alongside another can bring healing beyond belief. I strive to be that ally, to walk alongside others as they experience the joys & challenges of living fully.

Experiencing an emotional or personal issue that is restricting your ability to enjoy life? I help clients work on those things that are getting in the way, such as, problematic emotional, behavioral or relational patterns, stress, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Life is really hard at times and it can help to have some extra support, especially, if you are feeling alone, isolated or finding that others don't really understand. NOTE: I am now offering tele-therapy over video as an option for therapy.

I am a Licensed Psychologist and the Clinical Director of Sollars and Associates Integrative Counseling and Psychological Services. I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy for over 30 years in the Metro Detroit area and our group practice spans across the state of Michigan. Our group is trained in dealing with a variety of issues including: Attention Deficit Disorder, School Difficulties, Interpersonal Issues such as bullying, adult ADD and related issues, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Mood Disorders, Grief and Loss, Parenting, Educational Concerns, Relationship Concerns, Career and Work Issues, and Sexual Issues.

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.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or relationship problems? I have been providing psychological services since 1998, and have been in private practice since 2002. I deliver compassionate and professional psychological evaluation and psychotherapy to the people of Holland, Zeeland, and surrounding areas.

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.

By the time I was 24, I had been diagnosed with OCD, PTSD, depression, anxiety disorder & panic disorder. I intimately know the affliction of mental health struggles. After years of lived personal experience with trauma & a myriad of diagnoses; a two decades long healing journey involving seeing over 50 different practitioners and tens of thousands of dollars; countless hours of training; and 2 master's degrees, I have honed an approach to therapy that weaves ancient wisdom, contemporary neuroscience, and compassionate inquiry into a tapestry of healing. And unlike most therapists, I only treat what I have personally experienced.

I am honored to have worked as a therapist for the past several years in a variety of settings and currently work with children, teens, and adults who experience depression, anxiety, stress, anger, adjustment to change, and more! I'm passionate about working alongside individuals to create a life that is meaningful to them and honors their diverse lived experiences.

Do you worry about your child's behavior or emotional health? About your own emotional health? Maybe you are grieving the loss of a child? Take hope, because you have come to the right place. I have been walking beside women and couples struggling with these issues. I have seen many people in your place recover and begin to live more fulfilling and purposeful lives.

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking within themselves for the answers to the questions. The key to inner healing is partially about asking the right questions. I am best suited to working with individuals who struggle with anxiety; depression; childhood trauma and issues related to being raised in a home with alcoholic parents or family members. I have experience working with parents who have children with disabilities. It can be difficult to be parenting a child with a mental illness or autism. I am person-centered in my approach. I work collaboratively with individuals to help each reach his/her potential.

I've been in practice 25 yrs - with individuals/couples & families -- kids 6+, many teens, college students & adults. I'm shamelessly informal -- no ties or pressed shirts here!. The office is quite unique - - very large, ultra comfy, w/MANY natural oddities... slightly chaotic -- like life! Good strong coffee/tea/soda & munchies always available. Pets welcome. I'm adopted myself, a licensed foster parent, & work with trauma and attachment. I have a multi-cultural family & lived abroad (Africa). I do co-parenting therapy & am also very familiar w/court systems, working with Dr.'s, lawyers, schools and custody issues.

I believe progression towards healing is always possible. The ability to heal is not the problem. It is getting the right help and doing “the work” that creates healing. A big part of the healing is feeling valued, understood, accepted, and heard in the therapeutic relationship.

Dr. Keith Louwerse is a West Michigan native, licensed psychologist and founder of Headwaters Counseling. A Hope College alumnus, he earned his doctorate from George Fox School of Clinical Psychology. He worked closely with Dr. Mark McMinn, Ph.D., ABBP, a pioneer of Integrative Psychotherapy. Dr. Louwerse is expertly trained to work with a broad range of clients from an integrative paradigm and has a keen interest for the encounter between spirituality, faith and wellness. He carefully balances the advantages of scientific methodologies, psychological theory and theological factors in therapy; embracing not only matters of cognition, affect and behavior, but also care for the soul.

I have a heart for helping people and walking alongside them in their journey of healing. Life can bring unexpected pain and suffering. Often times you can feel lost and confused with no one to turn to. Counseling is a beautiful way to seek help from someone who will guide you through the littlest to most difficult times in your life. Everyone can benefit from talking to someone who is not a family member or friend. Someone who will truly hear your needs and unconditionally support you. I am here for you! Please Call Today!

Hi. I'm Michelle Sheridan. I have over 25 yrs. of experience helping couples and individuals through difficult times, transitions & situations in life. I'd like to help you, if you feel it's "Time For A Change"! I help people to deal with anger, resentment, frustration, depression and overall unhappiness. There's no time like the present to look at what choices you've made in the past & how your past may be affecting today & your future. Learning to communicate in a productive way, finding your voice. I can help you succeed in identifying problem areas, understanding them, understanding yourself and others.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.

We love working with clients with a variety of issues. We find it engaging and rewarding to help people find happiness and contentment. Our ideal client is one who is motivated for personal change and healthier relationships with others. We believe happiness is based in developing a kind characters and connecting with others. In order to develop kinder characters and healthier attachments, one must be willing to question their own actions, thoughts and beliefs. This process can be intimidating; yet is made easier with the kind support of a caring therapist.

Have you or your child experienced trauma? Do you or your child suffer from self-harm issues or suicidal ideation? Or maybe you or your child suffer from a variety of life adjustment issues such as divorce, identity issues, racing thoughts or sadness? Then more than likely you or your child have experienced some kind of trauma. I am here to help. I have been worked with children, teens and families in crisis for 17 years in the scope of social work and this gives me a unique style paired with a wealth of knowledge. I look forward to helping you and your family make a connection that could change your life.

I work with clients who are wanting to understand themselves more fully, figure out what may be holding them back from the life they've imagined for themselves, uncover what is beneath troubling behaviors, and/or find ways of being and relating that feel healthier and more fulfilling. Some clients come in speaking of feeling discouraged, restless, worried, unfulfilled, or unhappy within themselves and/or their relationships; others come in with just a vague sense that life could feel much better.
