Meet Samuel!

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and helping them thrive personally, relationally, and vocationally. My counseling experience includes supporting clients through depression, anxiety, grief, personality disorders, relationship struggles, co-dependence, men’s issues, schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, stress management, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and tailored to each client. I draw from a variety of theories and techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Christian Counseling, Mindfulness, Existential Therapy, and Reality Therapy.

Beyond counseling, I am a proud husband and father. I enjoy teaching at KBOCC, building and construction projects, spending time outdoors, playing music, and supporting my wife in her work as a local artist.

A few fun facts about me:

Favorite books: Unbroken, The Lord of the Rings, The Gospels, and The Three-Body Problem

Favorite quote: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right” - Henry Ford

Career aspiration: To be a catalyst for positive change in people’s lives, and over time, to specialize in an area of practice that allows me to provide the very best mental health care to those I serve.

Meet Christal!

✨A Bit About Me✨
I love being a part of an individual's journey. My experience is 10+ years providing counseling services to the adult population (over 18 years of age), with 5 years exclusively providing telehealth services. I graduated from Oakland University in 2013 with a Masters in Counseling, obtaining my full license- LPC in 2016. I was born in the eastern area of the upper peninsula, moved all over lower Michigan and currently reside in the lower peninsula- southeastern area. Currently, I am accepting virtual clients anywhere in the State of Michigan.

I'm highly skilled and knowledgeable of working with individuals who are experiencing struggles with anxiety, panic, adjusting to life events- jobs, college, relationships; stress, cognitive distortions, codependency, processing unexpected DNA discoveries, and the impact perimenopause/menopause have on women. My approach is direct, utilizing solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness therapy techniques.

✨️A Bit About Me✨️

My name is Ryan, I’m a very proud husband, father of 3 beautiful girls (4 if you include our dog Zoey), entrepreneur, and intense thinker. I love taking on new challenges and helping people. My wife and I started our company with a common vision to help others restore the health of their whole person. This includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. I’m so very proud of what we have accomplished together as a team to bring healing and wholeness to the broken and hurting.

I spend most of my time making sure operations at the clinic run smoothly so everyone who walks through our door has a great experience. Outside of work, I’m privileged to spend a lot of time chauffeuring and feeding my crazy teenagers.

In my spare time, I enjoy campfires with friends, exercise, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and playing the guitar.

The Ragamuffin Gospel - Brennan Manning
Never Split the Difference - Chris Voss
10X - Grant Cardone
