We will be operating under Spring Forest Counseling’s name, but our offices will still carry the Red Cedar name to honor our legacy and the communities we serve. We will be at Lansing Pride under the Spring Forest Counseling banner (with a colorful twist). I hope to see many of you there!

If you want to know more about this decision and the changes coming, we should have a longer form of this announcement posted to our websites in the near future.

- Brother Ali "Uncle Sam Goddamn"

Why would a mental health practice post about this you may ask? Because while we as a culture are still locked in this cycle, it impacts the mental health of all communities.

Depending solely on how people perceive you can be harmful for our mental health. Remember there are people who will love you exactly the way you are, and the ones who won't are not the ones to surround yourself with🪷

Emotions are not necessarily facts, but they are experiences that exist in all of us. Your emotions are real, they are not bad or good; they just are, and deserve to be acknowledged and validated🌻
