Hi there, my name is Tyler White, and I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 5 years. I'm a young clinician that enjoys connecting with individuals and going on their journey with them. Born and raised in the metropolitan Detroit area, I received my bachelor's of arts degree in psychology from Oakland University and earned my Master of Social Work at Wayne State University. I work mainly with adults but have an interest and a passion for working with individual in the 20's and 30's (and up). To help them explore their anxieties, relationship difficulties, depressive features and the many different transitions or changes within their lives. Which can cause many uncertainties, distress, and lack of connection.
I'm Brianna, but you can call me Bri. Since earning my Master's in Social Work from GVSU in 2021, I've been dedicated to supporting clients through challenging life events. My experience includes four years in private practice, along with working as a Direct Liaison of Behavioral Health at Pine Rest. My volunteer work with Ele's Place of West Michigan, helping grieving families, is incredibly important to me and has become a true specialization in my practice.
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.
As a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and
individuals, I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach.
Marriage and Family Therapist and AAMFT Approved Supervisor with over 15 years of combined experience in individual, couples, conjoint, family, and group psychotherapy across outpatient, inpatient, in-home, and community mental health settings. Proficient in DSM-based assessment, evidence-based treatment planning, crisis intervention, and suicidal/homicidal risk management. I bring with me a working knowledge of human development, family and system interaction. I am committed to culturally competent, trauma-informed care.

Welcome! I have been treating adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, self-defeating behaviors, relationship problems, and more for over 21 years; I am a certified substance abuse counselor as well (CAADC). I use a blend of approaches such as CBT, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), mindful self-compassion, and various trauma treatments.
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.
I'm Brienne Hackett. I have worked as a therapist since 2015. I have experience ranging from working with children, young adults experiencing their first episode of psychosis, life transitions, grief and loss and other things. My strengths include empathy, sense of humor and relatability. I allow clients to share their goals from their own point of view, I empower clients to challenge themselves to grow and maintain positive perspectives of self. I graduated from Marygrove College in 2013 with my BSW and graduated from Wayne State University with my MSW in 2015. I work well with young adults to individuals age 55. I hope to help you on your journey to becoming your best self or simply helping you get through the difficult times that arise.
