"Finding joy doesn’t mean looking for miracles or large scale things to be happy about. Joy is found in the small crevices of life. Maybe your coffee tastes perfect today, you made a phone call you’ve been putting off, or you hit 3 green lights in a row when you’re running a little late. Joy is not a feeling to be obtained, it’s an opportunity to take in the world around you in small and significant ways."

"...We preach consistency, routine, longevity, and willpower for our adult clients in reaching their goals and practicing new skills and coping strategies while in therapy, but what about for kids in therapy? How do we instill consistency, routine, longevity, and willpower for children and teens when these skills are ones they may not be aware of and have little control over in their daily life?"

"Changes That Heal by Dr. Henry Cloud presents a practical and biblically grounded framework for personal growth, emotional health, and spiritual maturity. Cloud argues that many recurring struggles—relational conflicts, emotional instability, addictive patterns, and spiritual stagnation—stem from gaps in four foundational areas of development. True healing, he explains, comes not merely from trying harder but from addressing these core growth tasks."

Another day, another Meet the Team spotlight! Let’s introduce another one of our fantastic therapists in our Grand Rapids office.

Kelly loves a good laugh—especially when it comes to slapstick humor. Outside of work, she enjoys spending her time golfing, baking sweet treats, and building Lego creations. When it comes to travel dreams, Hawaii is at the top of her list, where she hopes to one day soak up the sunshine and beautiful island views. 🌺

Drop a 👋 to say "Aloha!" to Kelly!

We are excited to welcome Jennifer French, MA, LLC to our Grand Rapids location! Jennifer was previously an intern with us, and we are so glad she is here and on our team of therapists!

When Jennifer isn’t in the therapy room, you can usually find her out on a bike—road or mountain—especially if the ride leads to a Saturday morning coffee stop or a trail that ends with lunch or dinner. She's also a big fan of audiobooks and podcasts, loves baking or making breakfast for the fam on weekends, and enjoys any excuse to get outdoors, whether it’s hiking or kayaking.

Please join us in giving Jennifer a wave to say hello! 👋 We’re so happy to have her here! 🛶🚴

"Over time, many of us learned that approval, safety, or belonging depended on performance. The inner critic stepped in as an internal manager, scanning for mistakes before others could. What sounds like harshness is often an attempt to prevent rejection, failure, or loss of connection."
