Therapists in Holland, MI

As you seek out a counselor, you can understandably feel vulnerable at times. I provide a supportive space for you come as you are. It's a privilege when you trust and allow me to walk alongside you through challenges but also to celebrate your successes. It is rewarding to work with you, to learn together and to help you reach a more full life. For over twenty years I have offered support in relational work with children, teens, adults and families helping them navigate life transitions and offered information on supportive services.

For over 20 years I have been involved in the mental health system and have had the privilege of helping individuals & families achieve their goals and overcome a variety of challenges (i.e. depression, anxiety, mood disorders, new transitions, relational, & substance abuse struggles). While speaking both English & Spanish languages, my hope is that each individual that I encounter will gain a better understanding of themselves, and also learn valuable skills to move forward towards a more fulfilling and flourishing life---to be able to find 'Peace of Mind'--within themselves and within their surroundings.

My style is warm, with a desire to continually learn and use new skills that best suit the "hopeful" and the "hopeless." My life has been spent working with individuals and families and their experiences with sexual, substance, or physical abuse and trauma.

Hello! As a therapist, I strive to support individuals in reaching their fullest potential in any areas of life that may be unsatisfactory.

My ideal client is someone who is looking to become a happier, healthier person. There are many challenges throughout our lives that come unexpectedly and without warning.

You are stronger than you realize and I look forward to helping you see that! Life can and will get better on the other side of this.

I work with people to find balance, reduce stress, feel stronger, more confident and centered. Together, we will work to identify patterns of thinking and behaving that are no longer useful, and may be getting in the way of the changes you want to make. With support, in a confidential setting, you can begin to improve your relationship with yourself, and with others. I work with couples in a similar way, identifying and changing patterns of thinking, communicating and relating so that you can improve communication, get more support, and feel more connected.

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.

To be able to enter into a season of recovery, one must take the step to enter into a season of vulnerability.

I will tailor treatment to fit your unique needs and situation, while we work together to process through your concerns and harness your strength and resiliency.

People enter into a counseling relationship when nothing else seems to be working. Although most people soon make comments such as, “(Counseling) was a lot better than I thought it would be”, few people seek counseling as a first option. More often we seek out techniques that either help us to temporarily avoid (e.g., media, social networking) our anxiety, or we seek temporary shots of pleasure (e.g., alcohol, food, pornography) that make us feel good for a short time. Soon enough we realize that all of these things leave us feeling more hollow and lonely, and that is when we start thinking about counseling.

Change is hard. That's the saying, right? What if I were to say change is good, but it's the transitions that are hard? Hi, I'm Brittany Stahl, limited licensed counselor. I work with teens and young adults, ages 12-30, specifically because this time of life brings many transitional stages. In middle school and high school we find ourself trying to "find ourself", which is then followed by college or career exploration. Serious dating, marriage, kids, and potentially divorce may follow. These transitions can cause upsetting symptoms of anger, depression, anxiety, identity issues, self-esteem issues, etc.

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.
