Jeromy Krogman
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I provide therapy for social anxiety, helping individuals who feel overwhelmed by fear of judgment, embarrassment, or rejection in social situations. Social anxiety can make everyday interactions—conversations, meetings, dating, or public settings—feel exhausting and isolating.
In therapy, we work to understand the thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety in control, gradually reducing avoidance and building confidence. The approach is structured, supportive, and practical, helping you face social situations with greater ease and self-trust rather than fear.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
With social anxiety we will work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions as well as positive self talk, behavioral activation, probability estimation, pros and cons of being social, social skills & social cues, and behavioral activation (taking action). Often times we make something seem scarier in our own mind than it actually is. With anxiety one of the best ways to overcome it is simply to engage in the activity that scares you. I will help you to stop your negative thinking, to learn relaxation techniques and coping skills and then encourage you to face your fears and gain practice in social situations.

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.
