I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.

I work with mothers who are overwhelmed, burnt-out, or tired of juggling it all. For some, the intensity of motherhood brings up difficult emotions or unprocessed parts of their past. Others feel lost under the burden of care-taking and managing the mental load. With compassion and skill, we’ll tend to the parts of you that have been neglected. We’ll develop strategies for prioritizing your needs. We’ll make space for your brilliant light to shine once again!

I’m Chardae (She/Her), a licensed clinical social worker and relational therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and people in diverse relationship and family structures who are navigating relationship challenges, codependency, communication difficulties, boundaries, attachment patterns, trauma, life transitions, and/or feeling disconnected from themselves or the people they love (anxiety/depression and/or burnout).

I received my Bachelor’s (BA)in Criminal Justice (with a minor in Psychology) and Master’s degree in Counseling (MA) from Central Michigan University. After graduation, I started working with Community Mental Health, where I expanded my trainings and certifications. Since working with CMH I have been able to work with a large population of individuals with different challenges such as substance use, bereavement, trauma, domestic violence, family matters, and life goals. I am certified in DBT and DBT PE. I specialize in Behavioral Health, Personality Disorders, and Trauma Therapy. I have experience working with all ages from school age to geriatric clients.

Hi, I’m Brian. I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and I’m passionate about helping people feel better, both physically and mentally.

I got into healthcare because I genuinely care about people and wanted to make a meaningful difference in their lives. Over time, I’ve developed a strong interest in the connection between physical health, mental health, and substance use, and I’ve dedicated my practice to treating the whole person, not just symptoms.

I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use. I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, so I focus on creating a space where you can feel comfortable, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative; I listen first, then work with you to build a plan that fits your life, your goals, and your pace.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, going through a tough time, or working toward recovery, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you feel more in control, more balanced, and more like yourself again.

I’m committed to staying up to date with the latest evidence-based practices, but just as importantly, I’m committed to showing up for my clients as a real person who cares. You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Circle of Life Wellness Services, where I provide compassionate, whole-person care for adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My work focuses on supporting people through emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the many adjustments that come with different seasons of life.

I have a special interest in women’s mental health and maternal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustments, caregiving stress, burnout, and balancing personal needs with family, relationships and professional responsibilities. I also support clients coping with grief and loss, life changes, and feeling “stuck” or disconnected from themselves.

At Circle of Life, I believe healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and seen. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move toward balance, clarity, and emotional wellness—at your own pace.
