Hi, I'm Marion Davis, LMSW, and I would love to be your therapist! Have you been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or simply not like yourself lately? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life's everyday challenges, you don't have to face it alone. I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space to be heard. My approach is compassionate, person-centered, and focused on meeting you where you are. I'm here to listen, encourage you, and walk alongside you at your own pace. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Wayne State University, have over nine years of experience in mental health, and hold a certificate in Mental Health and Wellness with an emphasis in Grief and Bereavement from Grand Canyon University.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and most importantly, like yourself again. I'd be honored to be part of your healing journey.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (state of MI) and Psychotherapist. I work as an in-person psychotherapist in California at the federal level. I currently am able to offer virtual mental health therapy sessions to Michigan residents through Headway as well. I refuse to give up my Michigan roots. I love my home state! I am a graduate from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for my undergraduate (BA in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science) and graduate (Master of Social Work) education. Go blue! I accept Spartans as clients too, don't worry. (Go green! Go white! 😀) I have over a decade of experience in trauma work, grief, depression, managing psychosocial stress, anxiety, building self-esteem, helping people set boundaries with themselves and others, learn how to own their own space in this ever-evolving world, and so much more! I believe a diagnosis is only a part of a person NOT the person's entire identity. The truth is, we all have problems, some are just better at hiding them. So, no judgement here. You deserve to feel loved, respected, and appreciated by others, but above all else, by yourself. Tell me how I can help and if you don't know, let's figure it out together.

I'm a licensed MSW (master social worker) in the Grand Rapids, Michigan. area I use solution focused counseling to help you figure out what positive changes you'd like to make and what small changes you can start with. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and concerns. Solution Focused Therapy is a very practical and effective form of counseling. Most of the clients who gravitate towards my services want to take action and start making changes right away. They don't want to just talk about their problems, they want to get ideas for specific things to do and move on with their lives. They don't want to be in counseling for years and want a counselor who appreciates that too.

Hi, I’m Shawnda, a licensed therapist and founder of Anchored Hope CC, LLC. I’m glad you’re here! I know reaching out for therapy isn’t always easy, especially when you’re used to handling everything on your own. But sometimes, having a safe space to talk, process your feelings, and focus on yourself can make a meaningful difference. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, you don’t have to figure everything out alone. With over 13 years of clinical experience, I’ve had the privilege and honor of helping adults navigate difficult seasons, understand their emotions, and discover healthier ways to cope. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I enjoy creating an environment where you can be yourself, talk openly, and feel comfortable exploring what’s really going on beneath the surface. I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. I’m here to walk alongside you, ask meaningful questions, offer honest feedback, and help you develop practical tools you can use beyond our sessions. Together, we'll explore what’s keeping you stuck, identify your strengths, build coping strategies, and work toward the changes that matter most to you. Therapy isn't about having everything figured out or getting everything right. It's about making progress, learning about yourself, and giving yourself permission to grow at your own pace. My goal is simple: to help you feel better, think clearer, and live stronger. If you’re ready to make yourself a priority, I'd love to connect with you. Let’s take that first step together.

🌿 My Approach to Counseling Forty-four years ago, I was trained as a Holistic Social Worker, and since then I’ve had the privilege of working across the Americas — with people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. Over the decades, I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone, and that true change happens when we feel safe, respected, and understood. My counseling approach is person-centered, meaning that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to support and strengthen your natural motivation to change. There are many healing traditions in the world, and I will always honor you and your choices as we find what works best for your journey. I combine cognitive (thought-based) and somatic (body-based) techniques to help you bridge the mind–body connection. My specialty is working with stress and trauma, helping you understand how your nervous system responds and what it needs to return to balance. It’s important to remember: trauma lives in the nervous system — not in the event itself. When your system becomes dysregulated, symptoms arise because the residual energy from those experiences hasn’t been released. If your system is stuck on “High”, you may feel rage, hyperactivity, anxiety, panic, or find yourself engaging in high-risk behaviors. If your system is stuck on “Low”, you may experience depression, exhaustion, numbness, disconnection, or hopelessness. Together, we’ll gently guide your nervous system toward discharge and regulation, helping your body and mind restore calm, clarity, and connection. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, answer your questions, and see if working together feels like the right fit.

My approach is practical and collaborative. I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), tailored to your goals.

I believe Irvin Yalom said it best when he said we need to form a unique therapy for every person. We are all unique, our relationships and experiences are unique, and in therapy we need to find your own path forward in life. We can find that as a conversation between two experts, you being the expert in your own life, and me being an expert in this field. Together, we can work to help you find what you are looking for in therapy. Whether it is a skill and action motivated plan, or a space to emotionally process things regularly, or anything in between.
