Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and your future self will thank you for showing yourself kindness today. My name is Renee. I graduated from University of Southern California School of Social Work in 2014. I specialize in working with individuals carrying the weight of significant trauma, addictions, unresolved grief, and painful life experiences that can feel isolating or overwhelming. I support those who struggle with trust after unhealthy relationships, major life transitions, or who have turned to alcohol or other substances to cope with emotional pain.

I also work with individuals healing from addiction, substance use, and mental health challenges, and I have experience supporting military families as they navigate the unique barriers of having a loved one in the military, as well as serving Veterans. My goal is to offer a supportive space for healing, connection, and meaningful change.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Grand Rapids, MI

Searching for therapists in Grand Rapids starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Grand Rapids therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand whether someone uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Grand Rapids has a strong local mental health care community, with therapists across neighborhoods like Eastown, Heritage Hill, Midtown, and nearby areas. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Grand Rapids can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Grand Rapids.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
