Family Therapy in Norton Shores, MI

I have a strong interest in marriage and family counseling as I have experienced the personal benefits it can have on the family structure. In addition, my focus is on enabling adults and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, decision making and relationship issues to better work through these issues; teaching them to find their own path as well as healthy cognitions and coping strategies. I use an empathetic, goal oriented and person centered approach to identifying a person's strengths and exploring how their thoughts affect their behaviors.

Are you or is your child struggling with current or past trauma, feelings of anger, anxiety, or relationship issues? I have over 20 years' experience as a practicing social worker helping individuals and families overcome these difficult issues. My practice is based on meeting people where they are at in life and providing a safe, comfortable space to process and heal through those difficult times either individually or as a family.

My focus and passion is to offer assistance to clients who want to work on developing skills to enhance their coping skills. I believe that each of us has the capacity to change their thinking which can enhance mood, self esteem and strengthen relationships. I will work together with clients to develop a plan for growth which is based on their strengths with attention paid to healing from past traumas. I am also fluent in Spanish.

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.

All my sessions are virtual so I can work with individuals and couples anywhere in Michigan. With each and every person I work with, I strive to listen unconditionally, emphasizing the importance of listening as a component to strong relationships. It is a privilege to engage and guide clients to a deeper understanding of their life’s journey. It is a gift to share in the healing, growth, mindfulness and meaning achieved when one seeks change. I am honored to work with each of my clients, and am often impressed by their insightful wisdom.

Coming in for an initial appointment can be the scariest step of seeking one on one mental health care. You may not know where to sit, how to act, where to put your hands? I assure you we will walk through this journey together. I want my clients to look forward to coming into my office and having a safe space all to their own for whatever needs they may bring into the session. There is no need to come in with an exact idea of what you are looking for, that is why I am here to help.

I have a passion for working with children. I have been helping children in both school, private and non-profit settings for many years. In addition, I help individuals address various issues related to parenting struggles that go alongside raising children. I have worked with children in foster care and with adoptive families. I have provided counseling to individuals, couples and families for 20+ years.

I work primarily with women who struggle with anxiety/panic, trauma, burnout, grief/loss and relationship stressors. I specialize in working with college students and people in helping professions such as healthcare, social work/counseling, or teaching. Many of my clients would also describe themselves as stressed out, overextended, and have often been called "too sensitive" by people in their lives. In a time when 'busy-ness' and productivity have become the norm, I offer a safe space to slow down, breathe, and be heard. Please visit my website for more information: www.KatherineListerLMSW.com

Life can be difficult at times and often we struggle to navigate those challenging times. Marriage and trauma difficulties, in particular, can be very personal and often leave us feeling extremely confused and lonely. As a therapist I use the Gottman Method Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy to assist couples. I work with my clients to identify a specific cycle of conflict, identify and express personal longings, increase level of intimacy, and put trust/commitment back into relationships. I also use EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore, educate and empower those with trauma and each person I come in contact with.

Awaken was started with the mission of helping individuals to improve their overall well-being.

Aloha! Thinking about navigating a new course for tranquility or reaching your new peace-filled horizon. Me too! One day I'd like a practice in Hawaii, for now the beautiful lakeshore of West Michigan. Charting a new course of direction is the first step, to sustainable emotional health. I help many suffering with life challenges, "POI", Hawaiian for sticky situations. As a Master Level licensed professional, I work to remove the "POI" helping you reclaim your life from stress & dysfunction. If life's storms seem to capsize your every effort for peace, let's talk. Together we can navigate safe passage to a tranquil future.

I like to create for my clients an environment that is conducive to cultivating open communication and trust. I respect and value the thoughts and feelings of my clients and each individual is treated as their own person, tried by challenges specific to themselves. Through self-exploration, understanding and deepened insight, I believe that individuals can heal and foster change.

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.
