🎄 Sometimes life feels a little like a Charlie Brown Christmas—quiet, vulnerable, and hoping for something brighter. 🌟

Reaching out for therapy is a brave, hopeful step. When you call 616-202-5014, you open the door to a safe, compassionate space to sort through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or simply understanding yourself better.

Just like that little Christmas tree stood taller with care…
you deserve support that helps you grow, too. 💛🎄

✨ At Great Lakes Wellness Counseling, we understand that some in our community want their faith beliefs to be included in their healing from depression and anxiety. In our latest blog, “Faith as a Bridge: Finding Hope in Depression & Anxiety,” we explore how Christian counseling offers both professional tools and spiritual encouragement to help you find peace.

If you’re looking for counseling that respects and incorporates your faith, we’re here to walk with you. Whether you’re in Grand Rapids, Jenison, Hudsonville, Zeeland, nearby in West Michigan, or online anywhere in Michigan our counselors can provide faith-centered care designed to bring hope and healing. 🙏💙

✨ Prefer counseling without faith integration? We also provide the same expert care for those who do not want their faith included — and that’s OK too.

Food for thought: some people are unhappy because they keep trying to rebuild a life that was gone instead of trying to build a new and more realistic life for themselves.
