Couples Counseling Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for children and adults, in order for them to process individual difficulties, devise a plan of action, and facilitate emotional health and well-being. My client base includes those experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, sexual and physical abuse, parenting difficulties, relationship issues, and family discord. I view myself as a coach to help identify strengths, determine what might be hindering progress, and pave the way for moving forward.

In an ever-changing world, where we are torn between taking care of loved ones, meeting career expectations, and dealing with financial and personal health issues, it can be hard to find time to focus on ourselves, and what we as individuals really want and need. I strive to create a safe environment where clients can explore who they really are, and how they can live a life that leads to happiness and personal fulfillment.

Whether you have an ongoing concern or an acute, interpersonal crisis; counseling support can be helpful. No matter how you've gotten to this point in your life, our work will focus on what's going to help move you forward. I believe personal growth requires both insight and action.

As a therapist, I believe that building a relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. From that relationship , it becomes possible to examine difficult areas of your life in order to experience growth and security within yourself. The therapeutic setting provides a unique opportunity to pause the busyness of everyday life and sort through present or past concerns that may be affecting you and your family.

When your ready, I'm here!

I thoughtfully use cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and a blend of other therapeutic approaches and your spiritual beliefs (when desired) to help you improve your thoughts, behaviors, emotions, relationships, and quality of life. I particularly enjoy working with health-related issues, along with anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Open appointments in March.. Vulnerability: while rewarding, can be daunting. It isn’t easy to let someone into your internal landscape and I value the possibility of learning yours. My name is Sam and I work with clients to become intimately comfortable with the buried and beautifully impactful aspects of themselves. Often, the relationship to yourself contributes to how your days unfold in the world around you. When was the last time you heard or nurtured the parts of yourself that long for you? And, for those who have ever been labeled as too sensitive or too much, we can utilize and harness the power that your emotion may hold.

You and your partner both love one another and value this relationship , but lately you haven't been on the same page. You don't recognize the person next to you or it's harder to picture what the future holds for your relationship . Perhaps you've drifted apart and function more like roommates than lovers. Or maybe there's a sore wound that needs mending. If there's frequent bickering or arguments, you may be stuck on getting through to each other. When you put your all into repeated attempts at reconnection, it's excruciatingly painful if it doesn't work. You're ready to break the negative patterns and embrace a new future together.
