Hello! My name is Nick, and I am a therapist specializing in anxiety, panic, depression, stress management, and confidence building. I help people explore, process, and heal from trauma. I am also trauma-informed, weight-lifting certified, supporting clients in connecting with their bodies while addressing mental health. My goal is to help you understand yourself, develop skills to handle life’s pressures, and become more independent. My approach is client-centered, authentic, and down-to-earth. Therapy with me feels like a conversation, not a checklist. Together, we’ll tackle unhelpful thought patterns, build resilience, increase body awareness, and develop strategies to manage life’s stressors. If you’re looking for a supportive space to gain control over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, improve your relationships, and feel more confident in yourself and your future, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create meaningful change.
Do you feel stuck in survival mode where anxiety, grief or trauma overwhelms your life? Together, we will build an affirming space where you can feel safe to process, explore and grow. Therapy with me is about collaboratively exploring your life and who you want to be. I believe that one of the most important things to healing is building a safe space where you can pause and catch your breath. This can begin in the counseling space where my goal is to first build safety and trust.

I'm Mindy and I am passionate about offering hope and unconditional positive regard to support those working through the time of life from pre-teen through young adulthood.

I aim to meet the individualized needs of each person, couple, and family I work with and take a collaborative approach in setting goals for therapy. I use a family systems approach to explore how multiple areas of a person's life impacts their experiences and current struggles. I work on achieving these goals through a variety of measures, including personal exploration, role play and exercises used in and outside of session, implementation of improved communication skills, and boundary setting. My work with individuals, as well as couples and families focuses on relationships of all kinds. I address parenting issues, social skills, family conflict, and transitions including entrance into college and the workforce. I have experience working with substance abuse and mental health symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds, with a focus on couples, families, adolescents, and young adults. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Michigan. I am able to hold in person and telehealth appointments. Feel free to call or email me with any questions or to set up an appointment!
You may feel like you should have everything figured out by now. The truth is, most people don’t. College can bring a lot of pressure, academically, socially, and personally. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, lonely, or navigating relationship challenges, or questioning your direction about what comes next. Many students I work with come to therapy because something in their life doesn’t feel quite right. Sometimes that means exploring the stress happening right now, and other times it means getting curious about past experiences or childhood dynamics that may still be shaping patterns in relationships, self-confidence, or how you handle difficult emotions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you better understand yourself while also building practical tools to manage stress and feel steadier. Therapy with me doesn’t have to feel stiff or overly clinical; humor, swearing, and showing up as your real self are all welcome here. My office is located by a GVSU Laker Line bus stop and is about a 10-minute walk. You don’t have to sort everything out on your own. Reach out if you're ready to start getting the support you need!
We are all on a constant journey of self-discovery and healing, but you don’t have to go on this journey alone. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, life changes, relationship difficulties, or even feeling unsure of exactly what is keeping you from your full potential, I am here to help guide you to feeling some relief. As your therapist I will work with you to develop coping skills, change negative self-talk, and find ways to achieve your goals. I utilize a holistic approach to counseling and view the entire person and their experiences as a whole. My approach to therapy is dependent on each client’s wants and needs. I recognize that each client is the expert of their own life and that my role is to be a safe, non-judgmental person who helps guide you to becoming closer to who you want to be. I use a strengths-based approach to empower clients to make positive and meaningful life changes. You've already taken the first step in the healing process by beginning your search. By taking the next step, you are investing in yourself, and making you a priority. I would be honored to support you and walk alongside you in your journey. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment.

Fellow believes that by mobilizing our shared human experiences we can undo feelings of aloneness that lay at the core of our distress. When we do this, we find greater connection with ourselves and others.
I work with teens and adults who feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, discouraged, or worn down by chronic pain. Together, we pursue healing that honors both your mental health and your faith. My approach is grounded in clinical psychology, with the option to thoughtfully integrate Christian spirituality and/or address religious trauma in a way that is respectful, collaborative, and aligned with your values. As therapy progresses, you’ll begin to notice meaningful shifts. Life, work, and relationships will feel lighter and steadier. Moments of genuine joy will return. When difficult thoughts or emotions arise, they won’t pull you under. Instead of spiraling into overthinking or self-criticism, you’ll respond with clarity, wisdom, and self-compassion. The harsh inner voice softens, replaced by one that is kinder and more truthful. The world may still feel uncertain at times, but it will no longer feel hopeless. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to learn more about my story and approach.
College can be really hard — it definitely was for me. I struggled with the transition, felt lost in who I was, and went through a lot: relationship issues, self-esteem stuff, grief, even addiction. That’s part of what brought me to therapy, and eventually to becoming a therapist myself. Now, I work with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of who they are. I know how lonely it can feel when things get heavy — and I also know that healing is possible. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I won’t give you generic advice or try to “fix” you — instead, we’ll explore what’s going on in a way that feels real, safe, and supportive. I specialize in trauma, identity, grief, anxiety, and neurodivergence. I’m also LGBTQ+ affirming and really care about creating space for all parts of who you are. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We can start wherever you are.
Equip is the leading evidence-based virtual eating disorder treatment program on a mission to ensure that everyone with an eating disorder has access to treatment that works.

I work with children, teens, and adults across the lifespan to build self-esteem and confidence, so that you can feel happier and less stressed. As a former student, we might struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, worry, family issues, or an inner critic that can make the school year feel impossible. We can work together to reduce the "what ifs" and self-critical thoughts that can come with anxiety, panic, and depression. Everyone is unique, which is why I use a variety of skills and approaches in sessions, pulling from both art and science. No matter your age, I love to bring play and creativity into sessions like art, movement, and writing to assist with self-expression, building confidence, and exploring your strengths. Therapy can be like a laboratory- we can try out different approaches to find what works for you, or we can use it as a testing ground to explore how you'd like others to see you. Prior to landing at Therapy Today, I worked at a community mental health agency that served youth and families, many of whom were first-generation or had recently moved to the U.S. I gained experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and helping families struggling with life transitions, loss, and family conflict. While earning my Master of Social Work at the University of Michigan, I also served as a school-based therapist and worked alongside parents, teachers, school psychologists, and other professionals to help children continue to learn and grow. When out of the office I enjoy crafting and painting. I also like to play soccer and go out on walks to connect with nature. When it's too cold to be outside, I spend my time indoors playing video games.
