“Holding Space” is a term we often use in the helping profession. It can be hard to explain and to teach to others, but when it is done just right- the therapist and the client know it. It’s to be present without judgment, to not only walk with the client on their journey but to help hold their “stuff” along the way. It’s trust, understanding, mothering, and it’s a skill. This skill along with the therapeutic relationship, are the best tools we have to help clients get better faster. So, this is what we do. We help hold the “stuff”, walk the walk, and heal wholly.

Being a parent is hard – but we don’t have to tell you this. We understand the unique challenges that we face as we adapt to our new roles and face new obstacles we didn’t anticipate having to face. This is why we believe it is necessary to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. We are working on expanding our service offerings to include collective care such as: yoga (including pre and post-natal), nutrition/parenting/group support, as well as referrals to other providers that offer wellness services.

We specialize in perinatal PMAD (PMHD) and women’s issues, utilizing a holistic/integrative approach to counseling. We provide empathetic care for clients, based on their individual needs. You will feel safe in an environment that will foster exploration and growth. Helping others to live a happy and healthy life is our true passion. Although, we work with a wide variety of clients, working with moms, couples, and moms-to-be is our specialty, and offer perinatal counseling services at our Grand Rapids office, our Midland office, and virtually throughout Michigan.
