Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental illnesses.

Research shows family conversations, modeling, and relationships with food can influence the risk.

At Lake Michigan Counseling Services, our clinicians support individuals struggling with eating disorders and the families walking alongside them with compassionate, evidence-based care.

Losing a parent early in life is deeply unfair. It’s a grief that arrives before you were meant to carry it. Therapy can help create space to process the loss, reduce the isolation, and support you in learning how to carry something so heavy.

Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening mental health conditions. They affect people of all ages, genders, and body sizes, and they have one of the highest mortality rates of any mental illness. Often times, you may not even recognise that your relationship with food is harmful. That’s where we can step in.

Here in West Michigan, there is a significant lack of providers who treat eating disorders—especially for children and adolescents. That gap matters, and it impacts families every day.

At Lake Michigan Counseling Services, we’re proud to have clinicians with experience treating clients with eating disorders. We are committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based care so individuals and families in our community don’t have to navigate this alone.

If you or someone you love is struggling: it is not too late for recovery. Help can make a difference at any stage.

You deserve support.
You deserve care.
You deserve recovery.

2026 isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s all about showing up more honestly, more consistently, and with compassion.

If this resonates, therapy can help you practice these shifts in real life.

Resentment is a 50lb backpack you don’t need to wear.

So many default parents carry an invisible load—planning, anticipating, remembering, soothing, managing. And when it feels like our partner isn’t carrying the same weight, resentment can build fast.

The feeling is real and completely valid, but holding onto it only adds pressure to YOU.

CBT teaches us to notice the thoughts that make the backpack heavier:

“I’m alone in this.”

“It shouldn’t be this unequal.”

“If I don’t do it, no one will.”

Instead of carrying that weight all day, try setting it down: name the thought, gently challenge it, and ask clearly for what you need.

You deserve to move through motherhood without 50 extra pounds on your back. 💛
