Couples therapists in Grand Rapids, MI

With over 20 years of experience, I've had the privilege of sitting with people through some of life's hardest chapters — and watching them find their way through. I'm Olja Haglund, a Licensed Master Social Worker based in Michigan. I work with adults only, and I bring a warm, direct presence to every session. I speak both English and Albanian fluently and welcome clients from Albanian-speaking communities across Michigan and beyond. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions — so wherever you are in Michigan, we can make this work. My specialties include trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, codependency, and women's issues. I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I'm here to help you find your version of it.

I was born and raised in Michigan. I love the four seasons and all of the college and professional sport teams. I have over 20 years of behavioral health experience and both mental health and substance abuse. I also hold a certificate from Western Michigan University for treating drug and alcohol addictions.

If you are carrying more than you can handle on your own: anxiety, stress, a difficult relationship, or a life change that caught you off guard, reaching out takes real courage, and I

want you to feel welcomed here. I am Victor, an LMSW, and I believe every person already has unique strengths worth building on. Together, we will work at your pace to develop

coping strategies that hold up in real life. My space is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and built around your goals. I would love to connect.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right fit matters. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful, therapy can be a place to slow down and better understand what’s going on.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. Clients often describe me as compassionate, down to earth, and easy to talk to. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and aligned with your goals.

As a licensed master social worker and board-certified chaplain, I believe prioritizing mental health and spiritual care is key to whole health and total well-being and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever make, so congratulations on taking that first step! My current focus is working with clients dealing with substance abuse, mental health, and marriage and family issues.

I have a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University with Specialisation in Marriage and Family Therapy, a Bachelors in Psychology, Honours Bachelors Degree in Education (post grad) in School Guidance and counseling, Mediator and Divorce Mediator Certificate,SAT Teacher Certification and EMDR Certificate (Emdria)

I am an empathetic, patient, and inclusive therapist with a passion for helping others that are going through difficult transitions in life and experiencing hardships. My foundation is based on establishing trust and providing a safe and accepting space for open communication to build a strong therapeutic alliance. I collaborate with clients to improve their emotional quality of life, develop their capacity to handle life’s stressors and mental health concerns. My counseling style is diversified, integrating person-centered, psychodynamic, emotionally focused, cognitive-behavioral, and existential therapy into counseling sessions.

I am passionate about helping adults of all ages struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive behaviors. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, including neurodivergent and those who identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I'll try to summarize quickly so you don't have to scan far.

Not every therapist is for everyone. Fit matters more than anything, and you deserve a connection that feels safe and open. With my clients I try to be real and honest, while maintaining empathy, presence and humor. We can go slow, laugh, cry, and move at your pace.

We might fit well if: You're anxious or struggling to cope with the state of the world. You've experienced loss/grief. You're working on relationships and boundaries. You're trying to "be you" in a world that doesn't support. You're feeling challenged parenting, partnering, and "doing it all". Newness is hard.

Navigating relationship friction, intense anxiety, or major life changes can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor holding a Master’s degree from Liberty University, with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families regain clarity and emotional balance through church and license.

My practice specializes in relationship and marital counseling, family dynamics, cultural identity, and stress/anxiety management. Whether you are working through communication breakdowns with a partner, untangling family conflict, or feeling overwhelmed by pressure at work and home, I provide an intentional space where you are genuinely heard, respected, and equipped to move forward.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 35 years and have worked with all age clients from age 6 to older adults. I work with issues of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships problems, ADH-D, Autism and learning disabilities.
