I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.
I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.
While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.
Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.
Hi! I am Valerie L. Rennon MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. I am a dual board certified nurse practitioner in both psychiatric mental health and women's health across the lifespan. I have been in practice for over a year now and my most recent experience has been in an underserved and underinsured area of downtown Detroit, MI.
I have also been an adjunct clinical instructor for RN students over the past 3 years. I am a graduate from Michigan State University, University of Colorado Anschutz, University of Texas Arlington and Colorado Mountain College. Having moved about the country for a bit, my husband of 18 years and I have established our home in MI with our two children, dog Curley and our bearded dragon Sami.
Hello!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (state of MI) and Psychotherapist. I work as an in-person psychotherapist in California at the federal level. I currently am able to offer virtual mental health therapy sessions to Michigan residents through Headway as well. I refuse to give up my Michigan roots. I love my home state!
I am a graduate from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for my undergraduate (BA in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science) and graduate (Master of Social Work) education. Go blue! I accept Spartans as clients too, don't worry. (Go green! Go white! 😀)
I have over a decade of experience in trauma work, grief, depression, managing psychosocial stress, anxiety, building self-esteem, helping people set boundaries with themselves and others, learn how to own their own space in this ever-evolving world, and so much more!
I believe a diagnosis is only a part of a person NOT the person's entire identity. The truth is, we all have problems, some are just better at hiding them. So, no judgement here. You deserve to feel loved, respected, and appreciated by others, but above all else, by yourself.
Tell me how I can help and if you don't know, let's figure it out together.

I've spent 30 years working in some of the harder corners of mental health — public mental health systems, behavioral health leadership, substance use treatment — and what I've carried forward from all of it is this: people heal when they feel genuinely seen. Not processed. Not managed. Seen.I work with adults, adolescents, and seniors who are navigating grief, addiction, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and sometimes the particular weight that comes with illness, loss, and end-of-life experiences — their own or someone they love. I'm a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with dual master's degrees and advanced training in CBT, trauma-focused therapy, ACT, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing.My approach is practical in the truest sense of that word: I'm here to help you develop skills you can actually use, not just insight that stays in the room. And I take whatever time we need to make sure the work actually fits your life, not just a textbook version of your situation.
I genuinely care about their journey and understand that healing isn’t always linear. I combine compassion with clinical expertise to help individuals feel understood, supported, and confident in reaching their goals. Whether we’re managing anxiety, mood changes, or life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you at your own pace
Hi, I'm Heather Johnson, a faith centered Christian therapist passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where healing, growth, and restoration can take place. I have over 5 years of experience and my approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, grace and meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey. I work with individuals and families to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting emotional wellness. Guided by the belief that healing and restoration are possible through faith, hope and connection, I strive to reflect God's love by offering a space of understanding, encouragement, and support. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, clarity, and peace.
I have worked as Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for over 8 years in a variety of settings ranging from trauma, impact of addictions on mental and emotional wellbeing, to relationship issues and more. I tend to be laid back and easily approached with no judgement, no criticism and no assumptions.
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)

Frequently asked questions


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 Therapist in Grand Rapids
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.
