Family Therapy in Battle Creek, MI

I enjoy working with young children, teens, young adults & families. Many of my clients have struggled with issues like anxiety, depression, self injury, social skills, parenting, adoption, & adjusting to new situations. Parents/caregivers are welcome to join sessions if they desire (as clinically appropriate) as a way to learn skills along with their child/family. This helps support the skills learned within sessions & outside of sessions, when at home & in the community. This empowers the client & family & helps everyone feel like they are mastering the skills learned in sessions. I am supervised by a licensed PHD.

At Guided Growth Therapy I strive to create a safe space where we can work together and grow to get you, your relationship, and/or your family to a healthier spot in life through prevention, intervention, and education.

Samantha Corey: "Most of my clients tell me they feel very relaxed and calm during our sessions, my family and friends tell me the same thing, I've come to learn after 20 years of providing therapy that I'm of no help to anyone if I can't give them a sense of peace in their often chaotic world. Isn't that why we come to therapy, we can't find that peace and calm or the answers we seek on our own, lets figure things out together."

Sometimes we find ourselves in a whirlwind, looking for a place that is safe to express ourselves and our needs. Here is that place...a place where you can find peace to resolve the crushing feelings of hurt, pain, and being misunderstood. Imagine a day when you are able to navigate through life effectively, communicate your needs, and accomplish your goals with less anxiety, less depression, and less anger. Awesome right? It is our intent to help guide adolescents, families, and individuals in learning healthy communication and healthy coping skills to incorporate into their daily lives. Let's learn together.

You are unique in all the world! There is no one just like you with your story or life. Your family, pets, friends, community--where you came from--what you have overcome and endured-all these make you the unique person you are. At some time you may wish to turn the page on your story. My therapy involves walking with you while you decide where you want to go from here--who the person is that you want to be--how you want your life and story to change. I will listen and challenge, support and invite you to learn new skills and growth.

It is my personal and professional belief that everyone is capable of discovering their most authentic and successful self, but may occasionally need assistance in their journey to personal enrichment. I have been lucky enough to find those people in my own life, and I consider it an honor to serve that purpose for my clients in a warm, welcoming, yet professional fashion. I respect the individual needs of varying cultural backgrounds, and enjoy finding common ground with varying clientele.

I have worked as an LPC for 17 years, much of it based in a school. I work with teens, parents, adults, and families and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I am committed to helping those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-harm, lack of motivation, life transitions, and other related challenges. I love to help clients find the best way to meet their own personal goals in a way that works best for them as an individual.

Sometimes, a good cry is just what you need to release all the hurt you have built up inside! People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. They may want to change their personal or family situation, solve a particular problem, or simply bring a healthier balance to their lives. The counseling process can be fun and exciting. It can also, at times, be very challenging, difficult, and even painful. However, the goal will always be to bring about some positive change and meaningful outcomes!

Your counseling experience is just that- yours. My goal is to meet you where you are at in your own journey and gain understanding into your needs, strengths, supports and challenges. Together, we will build a therapeutic plan based on your desired outcomes. With over 10 years of experience working as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with children 10+, teens, adults and families. I offer support in the areas of depression, anxiety, self-esteem/self worth, family conflicts, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, relationship conflicts, motivation, parenting, career exploration and sports counseling.

You deserve better. It’s as simple as that. Yet believing it is one thing and achieving it is another. Life’s uncertainties keep coming and your responsibilities are still calling. It feels like you are being pulled and all directions to keep your family and house afloat. You may be trying to hold everything and everyone together, yet it all keeps falling apart. Just when it feels like everything is going well, you start to worry about when the other shoe will drop. Do these thoughts resonate? Possibly life is going okay for you, yet your child can’t cope with all of life’s changes.

Immediate Openings for Evenings and Weekends! Life is hard and we as human beings aren't built to endure it alone. Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions that consume your daily life? Are you finding it hard to concentrate at work or be present with your family? Is there something deeper going on? You are not alone. Let’s work together to create better outcomes for the future.

While everyone struggles sometimes not everyone struggles the same way. To help meet you were you are in your journey I use a variety of approaches. I believe in helping you find your inner strength through strength based approaches, increasing your awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions through Mindfulness based interventions and other cognitive behavioral approaches. I also believe that all individuals should be treated with autonomy, dignity and fairness. In working with individuals I bring compassion, understanding and empathy to each session. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
