I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in Michigan. I provide in-person and telemental health services to individuals struggling with ongoing mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, grief, and more.
I work with adolescent and adult populations and utilize both humanistic and cognitive behavioral approaches to counseling which honor an individual's strengths, build upon existing capabilities, and encourage autonomy. The therapeutic models I use vary according to the unique needs of the individual.
Finally, I believe that you are the expert of your life experiences. My role is to listen, understand, and help you develop skills necessary to face your specific challenges. I look forward to walking alongside you and supporting you as you navigate your journey. Congratulations on taking the first step.
Hello, I am Kristy Nelson, a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 9 years of experience in guiding individuals through life's challenges and helping them discover their true potential. I specialize in providing support for those facing substance use disorders and trauma, but I also work with a diverse range of clients seeking assistance with various mental health concerns.
At the core of my counseling approach is a deep belief in the resilience and strength within each individual. I provide a warm and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. Whether you are dealing with substance use challenges, traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, or navigating life transitions, I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your unique needs.
I am committed to providing compassionate and effective counseling services to all my clients. Whether you are striving for recovery from addiction, healing from trauma, or seeking personal growth in various areas of life, my goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to achieve positive change and emotional well-being.
I am a Michigan Limited Licensed Counselor (LLC) providing in-person and virtual mental health services to individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, adjustment issues due to life transitions or self-esteem issues.
My practice serves individuals from adolescence through adulthood. Within my clinical practice, I apply techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and humanistic approaches which are tailored to individual needs.
Seeking counseling is a sign of strength and dedication to find a better quality of life. My goal is to provide a collaborative environment where client’s feel safe to discuss their hardships and be involved in clarifying their feelings, understanding their issues, establishing goals, and working toward those goals to achieve a better quality of life that makes sense to them.
Counseling is an opportunity to explore the beautiful, but often messy experience of being human. Suffering is an unavoidable part of life, made much harder by the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. We are bombarded on all sides with messages that we are somehow less than. It is my sincere desire to create a safe space where you are genuinely accepted. A space where you can explore what you would like to change and discover new possibilities.
While I draw from many psychological theories, I primarily take a humanistic approach to counseling which respects that you are your own expert. For 20+ years I have trained and practiced mindfulness and other meditative/insight techniques which I find to be simple and effective tools for building resiliency and compassion. In counseling we will connect as equals and through our shared humanity uncover a path that allows you to move forward with greater confidence and self-love.
I attained a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Central Michigan University and am a National Certified Counselor. I will use my knowledge and experience to help you select the tools and techniques that will foster the change you are seeking.
I like to describe myself as an artist and strategist; passionate about engaging with people in a way that effectively communicates information, stirs a response, and results in a thriving community. As a Michigan Limited Licensed Counselor (LLC), my goal is to challenge and encourage others, so they develop a sense of trust in themselves and figure out what it means for them to personally thrive.
I believe encouraging personal choices and positive actions that build on client strengths can work to create a sustainable sense of authenticity and wellness. My theoretical orientation is based on a Person-Centered approach, creating a foundation of safe and open client-counselor relationships that allow for well-timed educational moments and interventions specific to an individual's needs. My style is a purposeful and goal-oriented form of encouragement executed with warmth, honesty, and practicality.
Life can be messy and confusing; I like to think of these struggles as a part of being human. Counseling creates an outlet to explore these hurdles and gain a new perspective to these experiences. Often when these stressful and hindering experiences happen, we think less of ourselves and change our sense of self-worth. I believe that thoughts, emotions, experiences, and behaviors are all intertwined into our lives. I take pride in encouraging my clients to be uniquely and authentically themselves as they navigate the waves of life.
I currently am providing both in-person and tele-mental health counseling services to individuals struggling with ongoing mental issues. I work with a wide range of ages from college student to established adults.
I pull from various clinical techniques within my practice. I find myself encouraging clients to make their own decisions and take ownership of things they can control in their lives when things feel “un-controllable”. I believe that everyone can make positive and impactful changes in their lives. My role is to draw on your strengths, support healing and development and equip you with tools to handle life’s stressors.
I attained a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Central Michigan University and am working towards becoming a National Certified Counselor. With my knowledge, empathy, compassion, and experience, I will equip you with tools and techniques to navigate your unique personal challenges.
I look forward to providing you with support, a listening ear, and compassion as we walk through your counseling journey together.
Melissa Davis, MA, LPC
Hi there! My name is Melissa Davis. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Clinical Supervisor for new therapists at Inspire Counseling and Wellness.
Dedicated to health and wellness for over 20 years, I’ve witnessed first-hand
successful outcomes with traditionally difficult-to-treat clientele, proving that positive change is always possible. I bring an attitude of hope and resiliency to the counseling session so that you know that even through the toughest of times, you have an ally.
I provide in-person and virtual counseling services addressing concerns including: stress, overwhelm, anger management, interpersonal relationships, major life transitions, the inherent struggles of high intelligence and giftedness, sadness, existential worries, fears, OCD, relationship pain, trauma, generational patterns, personality disorders and more.
I have a successful background working with high-status individuals, including business owners, executives, teachers, leaders, clergy, and colleagues from the medical and wellness professions.
My approach utilizes strengths and tools of multiple modalities including CBT, DBT, core belief work, mindfulness, existentialism, and psychodynamic approaches. I enjoy helping my clients get to the core of the issue to heal it.
Are you ready to embark on a new pathway toward healthy life fulfillment and holistic wellness? Give us a call!
Working with children, I find myself telling my clients "Your voice matters too!". At that stage of life, it is common for children to feel lack of control in multiple areas of their life. I focus on working with my clients to feel empowered during our sessions, so that they feel like they do have control over their therapeutic journey. I believe that an important piece of counseling children and adolescents is helping parents and guardians understand the counseling process, while also providing my client with their own person to confide in. My goal is to provide a warm and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.
I provide in-person and virtual therapy services to those who are experiencing challenges with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, and self-esteem. I have worked with parents, children and adolescents (aged 4-18).
I value the trust parents put in me to work with your child, and I value the trust children put in me to help them gain the tools necessary to navigate life as they grow up. I look forward to helping you achieve your mental health goals.
My name is Taylor Gilson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with experience working in both group and individual settings. I practice integrative/person-centered approach, drawing from personal experience from working with a variety of populations.
Whether you are curious about receiving mental health services for the first time or already have had experience with counseling, I am here to support you through life's challenges with a tailored approach to meeting your therapeutic needs.
I am looking forward to meeting you!
I am currently accepting clients through telehealth.
Emmy Montgomery MA, LLC, NCC
Hi there, my name is Emmy and I am a Limited Licensed Counselor; I offer in person and telehealth mental health services in the state of Michigan. My professional history holds 11 years of full-time working with both individuals and group dynamics prior to becoming a counselor.
My philosophy is to support you in your journey of deeper understanding of how you move through your life and experiences. You are the expert on your lived experiences, and my highest value is to remain curious of those experiences as we navigate co-created goals and desires for your understanding, growth, or healing of them. Your unique context, identities, and worldviews are core to our co-created goals for your counseling. I enjoy working with folks of all genders, races, religions, sexual orientations, socioeconomic status, and communities through theories such as person-centered and internal family systems with an attachment/neurobiology based lens.
