Thavone Huinil-Phommavongsa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Hypnotherapist
Do you feel stuck in repeating emotional or relationship patterns and insight alone hasn’t led to change, you’re not alone. Change happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported. My practice offers online therapy and hypnotherapy for individuals, couples, and families who want more than coping skills, who want deeper connection, emotional healing, and real change.
As a certified Imago Relationship Therapist, I guide you through difficult conversations in a safe, empathic, and structured way. Hypnotherapy is used when appropriate to help access deeper patterns and address root issues.

Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting. My hope is that from our very first conversation, you'll experience a space where you can exhale, feel genuinely heard, and know that you don't have to carry life's challenges alone.
I believe meaningful change happens within the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, combining evidence-based practices with deep respect for your unique story, strengths, and values. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have shaped your experiences and discover new ways of responding that promote lasting healing and growth.
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, betrayal and infidelity, trauma, infertility, postpartum challenges, perimenopause, grief, body image concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, therapy can provide a place to gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most.
Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is both compassionate and practical—someone who offers thoughtful guidance while creating space for reflection, insight, and meaningful change. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you discover your own path toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.
If you're considering therapy, I invite you to reach out. Finding the right therapist matters, and I would be honored to learn more about your story, answer your questions, and help you determine whether we're a good fit. Even if you're unsure where to begin, you don't have to have it all figured out before taking that first step.

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.
