Rebecca Turner
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MA Counseling, school counselor K-12th
Being part of this community myself I have a big heart and also quite a bit of training in this field. I am very open and supporting and compassionate with the struggles many LGBT people have gone through. We were to process any trauma and move on from that pain so that he or she or they can live their most fulfilling life.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dan Cooke
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, ADS
I have worked directly with LGBTQ+ people as a focus of my practice and as an ally, as having a gender affirming therapist is essential for a person's wellness. Teenagers and young adults often benefit from the support and open ended dialogue in therapy sessions. Aspects of gender and sexuality are diverse and are a significant part of the therapy process specifically for transgender people going through any transitions such as beginning hormone therapy. We coordinate care with your doctor and/or endocrenologist when needed.

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.
