Bisexual Therapists in Holland, MI

Life brings many changing seasons that present new challenges and struggles. Throughout the seasons of life, you can find meaning and hope. People who decide to reach out and seek to find meaning and hope are courageous. It can be difficult to be honest and look at your life's path; however, I am continually amazed at each client's strength and desire for freedom in their life. I thoroughly enjoy providing additional support that can meet each client's needs. I primarily work with female-identifying adults who are wanting to rediscover their identity and increase their own sense of empowerment.

I work with people who have been made to feel guilty and ashamed by the world around us. We might say they are depressed or anxious or we could say they’re experiencing the negative effects of patriarchy, racism, ableism, transphobia, toxic work cultures, invalidating family environments, etc. These experiences can be incredibly isolating and reaching out is hard when we have been told that our emotions are a weakness to be feared. I provide a non-judgmental space to name and process the grief inherent in these experiences. I do this work because I like helping people relearn how to trust their emotions and love themselves.

As a transgender person I understand the value of advocacy, affirmation, and support. I believe in being a strong advocate for not only change but justice and equity. I strive to create a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space to exist as you navigate your mental health journey. I will walk alongside you helping your strengths shine through and continue to grow.

We all have meaningful stories to tell, and I look forward to learning how I can be of service to you, whether it’s easing stress, improving communication, getting your relationship (with others and yourself) back on track or helping you develop healthy thinking patterns. I can help give you “tools for your toolbox” to help overcome life’s obstacles. My goal is for you to feel valued, safe, and heard while building a relationship of trust and understanding. I will walk alongside you and provide collaborative, action oriented and honest feedback to shape your journey towards a greater sense of freedom, meaning & purpose.

I hope you will find working with me to be rewarding, educational and helpful. I am comfortable working with adolescents, men, women and senior citizens. You will receive counseling in a non-judgmental, relaxing and peaceful environment. Life can be a journey that is sometimes filled with struggles. I am here to help navigate that journey and learn some new techniques to get back on the path to a joyful life.

Are you new to college or high school and feeling overwhelmed? Maybe the thought of interacting with your peers or speaking in front of others feels scary. Perhaps you're struggling with motivation and finding it difficult to complete your work, causing you to fall behind. Maybe you're a perfectionist, and the idea of not getting this school-thing just right is terrifying for you. Do you ever look around and feel like everyone else knows what they're doing and who they are, but you're just... lost? Maybe even getting up in the morning feels impossible right now. I want you to know that you're not alone, and you can feel better.

I enjoy clients with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and problems. My personal style is warm and supportive, and my approach with clients is holistic in focus. My goal is for each client to achieve more personal awareness, emotional stability, and effective behavior as a result of our work together. Presenting issues might be: Depression; Bipolar disorder; Anxiety Disorders; Trauma/PTSD; Couple conflicts; Stress related medical problems; or Life transitions. I provide individual and couple therapy for teens thorugh adults.

Not currently taking new Clients. People are my Passion. If you need a listening ear to process feelings, a helping hand to navigate life transitions or interpersonal relationships, or support for managing mental health conditions, I'm here to help. With over 20 years of experience and being CBT Certified, I use DBT-informed CBT techniques, combined with the healing effects of a positive, supportive relationship, to teach you coping strategies to manage stress and improve your emotional well-being. I especially enjoy working with families of children and adolescents struggling with emotional or behavioral issues.

Do you worry about your child's behavior or emotional health? About your own emotional health? Maybe you are grieving the loss of a child? Take hope, because you have come to the right place. I have been walking beside women and couples struggling with these issues for 10 years. I have seen many people in your place recover and begin to live more fulfilling and purposeful lives.

Hi. I'm Michelle Sheridan. I have over 25 yrs. of experience helping couples and individuals through difficult times, transitions & situations in life. I'd like to help you, if you feel it's "Time For A Change"! I help people to deal with anger, resentment, frustration, depression and overall unhappiness. There's no time like the present to look at what choices you've made in the past & how your past may be affecting today & your future. Learning to communicate in a productive way, finding your voice. I can help you succeed in identifying problem areas, understanding them, understanding yourself and others.

We love working with clients with a variety of issues. We find it engaging and rewarding to help people find happiness and contentment. Our ideal client is one who is motivated for personal change and healthier relationships with others. We believe happiness is based in developing a kind characters and connecting with others.
