Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Big Rapids, MI

Welcome! I'm Elizabeth. I have 20+ yrs of experience in mental health. I am highly effective working with individuals and couples, whether you are a young adult struggling with anxiety or a retiree adjusting to the next phase of life. I help couples navigate communication issues, parenting, infidelity. During our sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you improve your quality of life, relationships and daily functioning. Most of my clients see a marked lifting of symptoms within the 1st month and progressive improvement thereafter.

Traditional Therapy not for you? Hoping for a place that offers real tangible things you can do to help? Wanting someone who actually hears your wants and needs? Are you experiencing lots of anxious thoughts, trying to find yourself and understand yourself better, trying to get control over who you are again? Do you need honest, direct, structured support with goals and things to accomplish? Then I am your therapist. A response to messages sent will occur in 72 hours. If you do not get a response please resend your email or call leaving a detailed message.

"Why is my life so out of control?" This is a very common question patients ask me when first entering treatment. The real question is what are the underlying root causes that is generating these challenging behaviors. Through a thorough assessment I will help you identify such areas as depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, life stressors, etc. that may actually be driving the dysfunctional behaviors of alcoholism and/or drug abuse, marital distress, poor anger management and overall stressful interpersonal conflicts. Let me help you develop a plan of action to get your life back today.

Relationships offer an opportunity to heal just as they offer an opportunity for hurt. Sometimes it's difficult to tell these two apart. In relationships, we are a balancing act of history, the present, & what is to come. And sometimes within all that movement, all that history, all that will be, we sometimes get stuck in the hurt, alone. I hope to offer a relationship that is not without its friction, though I keep healing as my guide. This does not have to be a solo journey. I believe our combined sense of healing, as well as our combined sense of hurt, can do much more together. I look forward to unimaginable change.

Let's work together to problem solve, learn skills and strategies to achieve your ultimate goals. Through therapy and increased awareness we can identify possible obstacles in having the life you want as we explore and discover ways to increase happiness and success in areas that are important to you.

Hello! I’m Kelly, the sole owner and operator of Beelman Therapy Services, PLLC. My career background is unique, as I have vast experience working as a prescribing Psychiatric Physician Assistant, as well as over three years working as a clinical therapist in the outpatient setting.

Listening Tree Therapy is accepting new patients in a virtual setting at this time. I take pride in scheduling new patient sessions quickly while taking into account your schedule.

Many patients like the safety of being in their own space when meeting online. Please don’t sit in silence when help is just a phone call or an email away. Please reach out today so we can get you started on a healthier, happier lifestyle!

Due to telehealth, I can take clients from anywhere in Michigan. I enjoy working with clients who are up for a little work and challenge. I have a strong belief in the idea that therapy isn't something that is done to us, but rather something we must take an active role in to see any true progress. I view therapy as another way to add more tools to our toolbox in an effort to better ourselves. My goal is that by working together, you will learn things in a manner that allows you to function at your best regardless of what life throws at you.

Chances are, you've been here before. The feeling that things can't change, at least not for the better. The anxiety that is interrupting your sleep or work stress that follows you home and has you sniping at your loved ones instead of enjoying your time with them. Whatever it is that you're experiencing that has you wondering, "can therapy actually help me?", you've probably been through something like it before. I have too. As a clinician with over 10 years of experience helping others, and over 20 years of experience on the client side of the table, I can answer that question with a definitive "Yes!".

If you are an adult feeling particularly burdened by anxiety, depression, past abuse and trauma, unwanted behaviors, condemning or distressing thoughts, issues of worth, relationship issues, etc., I, with the help of God’s Word, desire to help you find freedom. I strive to create an open and caring space, accepting a client’s current place in life while gently encouraging necessary change toward identified goals.

Opening up to another person can be tough and making the steps to start therapy can be difficult. Make the first step easier and schedule a free phone or in person fifteen-minute consultation.We all experience pain, and this can lead to suffering. We experience suffering when we react to pain, get stuck in unhelpful behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, and end up caught in a place we do not want to be. As a counselor I have had the honor of working with great individuals helping them help themselves work through pain and be able to discover and more deeply connect to what is important to them; living a life more fully.

I specialize in OCD, anxiety, and perfectionism. People who come to me often feel anxious, misunderstood, and invalidated. They may have tried other types of therapy with limited results.

For 20 years, I have been helping clients build upon strengths and face challenges to achieve their goals of therapy. As a licensed professional counselor I utilize the evidence based therapeutic approach of Cognitive Behavior Therapy as a basis for reducing suffering and achieving specific goals. Mindfulness and other coping techniques are incorporated to help address emotional suffering and to help tolerate environmental stressors to create a more balanced, tolerable life.

Do you often feel alone or misunderstood or like no one cares? Do you struggle to maintain the motions of day-to-day life? Are you “faking it” and acting out a role that people around you would expect to see but deep inside the real you deals with hurt, depression, rejection, inadequacies and/or other pain? Maybe you're just on life's journey and you're at a new crossroad (new baby, new career, empty nester, separation, divorce, relocating, blending families, grief, etc…) and would like someone to process thoughts and options with. Whatever you're dealing with we can help.
