Therapists for Adults in West Branch, MI
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families. My background includes work in child welfare, hospice, and individual therapy, giving me a deep understanding of how life’s challenges shape us across the lifespan.
Life often asks us to grow through experiences we didn’t choose. The past can quietly shape our thoughts, relationships, and emotions in ways we don’t always recognize. My role is to help you understand those connections with curiosity and compassion—so you can let go of what no longer serves you and make room for healing and change.

The Webster’s Dictionary defines “flourish” as the ability to grow or develop in a healthy, vigorous way — to bloom where we are planted. We understand that sometimes life places us in challenging environments, or that past experiences such as childhood trauma, domestic violence, family struggles, or other forms of abuse can make growth feel difficult. You may also be seeking support to strengthen relationships, reach personal goals, or simply move forward with hope and confidence.

What would it be like to feel like yourself again? So often in life, we push others away when we feel our worst. The things we enjoy quickly depart with them. We are left engulfed in feelings of hopelessness and despair, losing our sense of self and purpose. Although these issues are our responsibility, we don’t need to address them on our own. Therapy can help. I believe that we are not museums meant to preserve our negative experiences. Our past issues can be resolved. Through resolution of past experiences we are able to enter into a loving relationship with ourselves.

I have specialized training in EMDR, ADHD, trauma-informed care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and experience supporting children, teens, and adults through a wide range of concerns.
Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that once helped them cope but no longer fit. They are often thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware individuals who learned early how to adapt, take responsibility, or “hold it together,” and are now feeling the emotional weight of that role. Some are navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, grief, or major life transitions; others feel disconnected from themselves or unsure of who they are becoming. What they want most is not just symptom relief, but understanding, steadiness, and a way forward that feels authentic and sustainable.

Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
