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."

We’re excited to introduce Diana Simpson, MA, LPC, one of the compassionate therapists on our team! 🌿

When she’s not in parent-mode, you might find her running, playing music, or catching up with a friend over a warm cup of hot chocolate — especially on the days she isn’t completely worn out (relatable!).

We’re grateful to have Diana’s warmth, dedication, and heart for others as part of our team.

"Regardless of how or why you approached them, whether you called them “resolutions” or “goals” or they were just vague notions of something better, research shows that most of us give up on them in the first 2 weeks. (Side note, did you know the 2nd Friday in January is National Quitters Day for exactly this reason?!) Inertia takes over, habits remain, and it turns out, meaningful change is hard!"

"Self growth occurs on the other side of discomfort. When faced with a moment of discomfort, reflect on the idea that the very thing we are avoiding could be the door that leads to the growth you’re seeking. Notice the resistance, stay with it, breathe with intention, and seek discomfort..."

"Therapy isn’t only about functioning better or managing what’s hard—it’s also about reconnecting with what makes life enjoyable and meaningful. Sometimes the least productive, most playful moments are exactly what we’re trying to protect, and the most important way to spend our time..."
