I believe therapy is a wonderful journey with a trusted Therapist. I have been through therapy myself so I understand it from the clinician’s point of you as well as from a client’s point of view.

Wendy Hooker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, C-ASWCM, CBIS, CAMF, SAP
As a counselor, therapist and medical case manager, I have grown in my understanding of the importance of the mind body connection (physical and mental health). Therefore, each person is encouraged (coached) from a person-centered strength perspective to make positive changes in their life based on their lifestyle goals.

Dr Janice Caudill - Intensive Recovery Healing
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT-S, CCPS-S, CPTT-S, IAT, SEP
I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.

Brighter Health Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, LPC, LLP, LLMSW, LLPC
How do you know when you are in need of a counselor? Perhaps you have already talked with family and friends about your struggles, but nothing seems to help, change doesn’t happen. You’ve experienced a loss, conflict in a relationship or work problems. If you’re a student maybe you are struggling to sort out current and future directions. Maybe you have a sense that something isn’t quite right, you have felt better. Talking to a counselor is the first step toward renewing and regaining fulfillment in your life.

Grand Rapids is the commercial capital of west Michigan and the cultural center of the Christian Reformed tradition in America — a denomination that has historically shaped the city's conservative, community-oriented character and created a therapy landscape where faith-integrated approaches are among the most sought after. The city has a large Latino community and growing populations from West Africa and Burma through refugee resettlement, creating multilingual and culturally diverse therapy demand alongside its predominantly White and faith-oriented mainstream. Corewell Health and Trinity Health Grand Rapids provide major institutional mental health resources, while Calvin University and Michigan State University's Grand Rapids medical campus contribute training programs. Grand Rapids's growing art and brewing culture reflects a diversifying city identity, and therapists working with creative professionals and young urban residents are increasingly well represented.
