Good for you! You’re here because you’re having difficulty in a relationship; or struggling with depression or anxiety and have decided you’re tired of feeling stressed and want to be better able to cope. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and not allow new - or longstanding issues to keep you from reaching your full potential. I focus on building a trusting relationship which will allow you to explore the changes you want to make to improve the quality of your life. I have successfully helped many clients reach their full potential by engaging in therapy treating YOU as a person, and not a disorder.

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


Are you someone who has spent much of your life being strong for everyone else—caring for others, holding things together, and continuing to move forward even when you feel overwhelmed? Maybe somewhere along the way, you’ve lost touch with yourself or found yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or your own sense of self-worth.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who works with adults and adolescents to better understand the experiences, emotions, and patterns that may be affecting their lives and relationships. I believe meaningful healing begins with greater self-awareness and understanding. My approach is warm, compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative, while also providing the support and gentle challenge needed for growth. Together, we can work toward healthier boundaries, stronger relationships, greater self-worth, and lasting change that helps you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create.

Edward Collins

Edward Collins

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience and a background that

goes well beyond the therapy room. Before I became a therapist, I worked across a wide

range of fields — and I bring that broad human perspective into every session. I don't

approach your struggle with a clipboard. I approach it with genuine curiosity about who you

are.

I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT, which means I have real tools for real problems —

anxiety that won't quiet down, ADHD that's been dismissed for years, trauma that's never

been properly addressed, grief that doesn't follow a timeline, or a relationship that needs

rebuilding. I work with adults, older adults and seniors, and adolescents, and I offer both in-

person sessions in Fenton, Michigan and telehealth throughout the state.

I also accept Medicare, VA Community Care, TRICARE, and over 25 other insurance plans

— because access to quality care shouldn't be the barrier that stops someone from getting

better.
