Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

Bianca Mackiewicz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
I offer virtual therapy for adults across Michigan dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, identity stuff, and life transitions. I work well with people who are overwhelmed, stuck in their heads, or tired of trying to hold everything together on their own. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ adults, and BIPOC clients who want therapy that feels affirming, grounded, and real.

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 Mercy Health Saint Mary's 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.
