Life is a story, and sometimes, we find ourselves caught up in chapters that feel challenging, overwhelming, or just downright confusing. But what if I told you that you have the power to rewrite your narrative? As a firm believer in the transformative power of therapy, I've discovered a gem that has become a compass for many of my therapy journeys—Narrative Therapy. Let me spill the beans on why it's not just about talking through problems but reshaping the entire story. 1. Separating Person from Problem: Imagine detangling yourself from the web of problems that seem to define you. Narrative Therapy invites you to step back, helping you realize that you are not the problem; the problem is just a chapter in your vast and intricate story. 2. Re-authoring Your Narrative: Ever wished you could be the author of your own story? With Narrative Therapy, you can be! Together, we roll up our sleeves and rewrite the script. We discard the old, tired narratives and create new, empowering tales that resonate with the person you're becoming. 3. Making Meaning, Shifting Perspectives: The beauty of Narrative Therapy lies in its ability to help you make meaning of your experiences. By changing the language around the presenting problem, we open doors to new perspectives. Suddenly, the story isn't about defeat but about resilience, growth, and newfound strength. Your Story, Your Power In the world of Narrative Therapy, your story isn't a burden; it's your greatest asset. We strip away the labels and limitations, giving you the pen to script a narrative that aligns with your authentic self. Ready to Redefine Your Narrative? If you're craving a change in your life's storyline, let's embark on this transformative journey together. Narrative Therapy isn't just about finding solutions; it's about discovering the incredible resilience and wisdom within you. Here's to re-authoring, reclaiming, and celebrating your unique story!

College can be a lot. The pressure to keep up academically, friendships that shift without warning, questions about who you are and where you’re headed, anxiety that won’t shut off, or just that heavy feeling that you’re supposed to have it all figured out by now. A lot of students feel this way, even if it doesn’t always look like it from the outside. I’m Kate, a Licensed Master Social Worker with over ten years of experience. At Blue Horizons Counseling I work with college students and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and the many transitions that come with this stage of life. I keep things practical. We’ll use tools from CBT and solution-focused approaches so you actually walk away with things you can try between sessions. My style is straightforward and collaborative—I want you to feel heard without any pressure to perform or have the perfect answers. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions across Michigan, and I try to keep scheduling flexible around classes and work. Affordability matters to me too. Quality care shouldn’t feel out of reach. If you’re looking for a steady, no-pressure place to sort through what’s going on, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to talk whenever you’re ready.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Michigan. My education consists of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Writing from Grand Valley State University and a Master of Arts in Counselor Education, Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University. My professional experience to date encompasses work with children, adolescents, young adults, women, men, families, couples, and groups. My clinical practice has spanned diverse settings, such as private practice, community mental health agencies, and university counseling centers. Individuals commonly seek therapeutic services to address a wide range of personal, emotional, professional, and relational challenges, among other issues impacting their well-being and development. My approach to therapy is rooted in an integrative framework with the client at the center and consists of assisting individuals in becoming more effective and self-reliant when resolving problems. I utilize a combination of different theoretical methods including Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My attention to detail has been crucial when assessing clients’ needs, understanding their unique situations, and tailoring interventions to help them succeed and excel in different facets of their lives. I pride myself on supporting the needs of those I work with with respect, empathy, and gentleness. Some of my clinical areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-compassion, identity development, relationship concerns, family matters, adjusting to change, and advocating for underserved/underrepresented populations. As a Black woman, I take pride in providing culturally sensitive services and support amongst all populations I work with. Compassion, active listening and responsiveness have helped me in building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. My intention in therapy is to develop a secure and reassuring space to uplift clients while promoting advocacy and empowerment as they work towards their personal goals along their mental health and wellness journey. I do so by fostering resilience, coping skills, and self-awareness through open dialogue, effective treatment planning, and skill introduction and implementation in sessions. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aspire to support individuals in creating positive, lasting changes in their lives. In an effort to maintain my own mental health and overall wellbeing I like to engage in self-care by spending time with my loved ones, listening to music and podcasts, attending concerts and live shows, exercising (I love Step Aerobics and trying random classes), journaling, going on solo dates, traveling, exploring new spaces and activities, creative projects, sleeping in on off days, and spending time in solitude (I'm an introvert and sometimes have to recharge my social battery). Just as I encourage clients to nurture their inner world, I remain committed to my own growth and balance—believing that a grounded therapist creates the safest space for transformation to unfold. I believe that healing is not a one-size-fits all process, and I am honored to walk alongside each client as they reclaim their voice, deepen their self understanding, and move toward a life that feels more whole, empowered, and true to them.

Matthew serves as a companion to those who desire to experience healing, growth, and transformation in their pursuit of the full human experience. He works to offer a space of mutual, compassionate, and empathetic listening to the story your life is telling. Matthew believes that the opportunity to work with you is a sacred privilege, and is committed to discovering a shared process in therapy that honors who you are, your background, and your future path. Practicing therapy with Matthew may include focusing on developing tools and practices to help manage emotions and thoughts, support in healing from past experiences, assistance developing healthier behavioral patterns, and/or establishing new values. However, there is not one therapeutic approach that fits all, which is why he works closely with you to identify your own needs and goals. Matthew is experienced primarily in individual work with adolescents and adults from all backgrounds and genders, in areas related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, identity exploration, finding belonging, discovering purpose, grief/loss, and religious and spiritual questions [and related trauma]. He is a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist. Matthew graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2024. He is also a graduate of Kuyper College [BS], Cornerstone Theological Seminary [MA], and the Living School for Action and Contemplation. His experience living internationally and attending two universities in multi-cultural and inter-religious environments has deeply shaped how he engages individuals from a diversity of circumstances and backgrounds. Matthew’s professional and academic emphasis on restorative justice practices, as well as the unique cognitive, developmental, and mental health needs of people of all ages has deepened his ability to foster effective therapeutic environments and meaningful relationships with clients. Matthew believes that our growth as people cannot be manufactured or controlled, and is therefore something we can only cooperate with and bear witness to. For many, the journey and practice of our work together becomes an outcome in itself. While Matthew is a generalist when it comes to theoretical orientation, he naturally integrates person-centered, narrative, existential, humanist, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment approaches.

Many of the people I see feel overwhelmed by ADHD and want support from someone who truly understands how it affects daily life. Some also carry trauma or PTSD and are looking for a safe place to work through what they have been holding. They want practical tools, honest feedback, and a therapist who understands how their brain works.
