My name is Robert (Bob) Kaiser and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in Michigan. You can take a look at my profile to learn a little bit more about my background and approach. Please also feel free to ask questions. Online counseling is fairly new, and I've found it to be really effective for issues like the ones you mentioned in your message. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. Therapy offers a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings. Asking for help takes a lot of courage but can be extremely rewarding. I look forward to working with you.

When we begin our work together, the first thing you’ll notice is a "take your shoes off" atmosphere. I believe therapy works best when it feels less like a clinical exam and more like a candid, over-the-coffee-table conversation. This is a space for an honest, active partnership where we bypass clinical clichés to get to the root of what is actually happening in your life. We all carry an "internal blueprint"—a set of old scripts and historical templates that dictate how we react to the world. Often, we don’t realize these blueprints exist until we find ourselves hitting the same walls in our relationships, our careers, or our own self-perception. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to investigate these patterns and move toward real, observable change. The Approach My approach focuses on the connection between your history and your current actions, supported by the rigor of behavioral science. My background in pharmacology has taught me that while biology is vital, it isn’t the boss. The science shows us that our brains are profoundly social; therefore, the real work happens within the relationship we build together. We treat our sessions as a live map to identify and rewrite the ingrained habits that no longer serve you. The Impact The goal is to move you from a state of reaction to a state of grounded agency. We work to restore your capacity for intentional action and give you the clarity needed to be a deliberate, authentic presence in your own life.

Over 15 years ago, I began my work as a licensed professional counselor. Since then, I’ve worked with diverse individuals and consistently seen that when people are empowered with the right information, they can often find the best solutions to their challenges. Using a range of evidence-based therapies, I guide purposeful conversations and reflection to support that process. I believe in discussing difficult topics with compassion and without judgment. Because you are the expert on your own life, collaboration is central to our work. Together, we develop practical and creative solutions, remain flexible as needs evolve, and build a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship focused on your goals. My experience includes four years working primarily with children and teenagers facing anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, stress, and future planning. Prior to that, I worked in community mental health supporting clients ages 11 to 99 with a wide range of mental health concerns. I approach each client with respect for their resilience and capacity for growth. My role is to offer clarity, tools, and guidance as we work together to build confidence, develop strategies, and create meaningful progress toward your goals.

I’m Steven, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have 7+ years of experience working with all ages of clientele. I’ve always had a passion for helping others work toward their goals and I've found that people can get stuck into a rut of "just surviving life" and not living it for a variety of reasons. My goal in being a therapist (and in life) is to help restore the "Joy of Living" back to my clients helping them be able to manage emotions and thoughts more consistently, improving satisfaction within key relationships, and helping clients heal/process through past trauma or barriers they perceive to be in the way of being able to live life the way they want too. On a personal note, I'm 36 years old, got married in 2020, and have two very needy, but lovely cats within my household. I'm a pretty big geek (board games, video games, fantasy sports, etc....) and pretty competitive. I like to give my best in anything that I invest into and that philosophy goes for my Professional relationships as well.

My approach to therapy is person-centered and exploratory. I draw on techniques from several approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and many Mindfulness-based interventions. I've also spent several years working with folks who benefit from different kinds of medications, and I have worked to help many clients talk to psychiatrists and find the right medication - and right dose- to help them feel better. With that said, I don't believe that medication should be the first approach for most people. The environments we find ourselves in, how we spend our time, and our past and current relationships, all have at least as much impact on how we feel as default brain chemistry for most people. I look forward to getting to know you and seeing how I can help!

I am an Art Therapist and Counselor with a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression. Over the years, I’ve explored many forms of art, including drawing, painting, interior design, floral design, and card making. Creativity has always been a grounding and meaningful part of my life, and I bring that same spirit into my work with clients. I also feel deeply connected to nature and find that being outdoors—especially near water—is where I feel most like myself. This connection influences how I approach healing, often integrating creativity and the natural world into the therapeutic process. I came to this field through a desire to both help others and stay connected to my creative side. My experience includes working with young children, teens in foster care and the juvenile justice system, adults facing housing insecurity, and individuals living with traumatic brain injuries. As someone who identifies as more introverted, I value depth and authenticity. I’m drawn to meaningful conversations and strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring who they are on a deeper level.

As an individual who struggled with alcohol addiction, depression, and anxiety, my life experiences, as well as my education and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of my life, have provided me with the opportunity to serve those who are struggling with life. Everyone has life struggles. I am prepared to help individuals and couples learn how to live life amidst struggles, such as depression, addiction, worry, financial stress, or marriage difficulties. I am blessed and honored to be in a position to use the gifts God has entrusted me with to serve others. My specialty area is addictions. I struggled with alcohol addiction for about 23 years. Through God's redeeming grace and an excellent education, I am well equipped to help those struggling with addiction and the anxiety, depression, worry, and fear that may or may not be attached to the addiction. My life experience with addiction has equipped me with an understanding about addiction. Not just for the individual, but for the affected family/social network as well. My education at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary has also equipped me with God's ultimate resource for our afflictions - The Word of God.

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.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share my background, as I believe my experience may be of value to you. With 37 years of lived experience alongside family members facing severe mental challenges, I have gained a deep understanding of the unique struggles that individuals and families encounter in these situations. My professional journey in the mental health field spans over 12 years, during which I have worked closely with various communities, including those transitioning from in-patient mental health facilities. Having grown here and choosing to raise my family in this community, I have a strong connection to the values of country life. My experiences working on local farms have further enriched my perspective and resilience. The mental health field chose me, offering a sense of purpose in navigating my own life challenges. I am passionate about helping individuals find their path towards healing, and I bring experience in both addiction and recovery. Additionally, I am committed to creating an affirming environment for everyone, including those in the LGBTQ community.

"Reconnect with your inner Wisdom." - Frank Anderson We come into this world knowing ourselves, knowing what we are about, who we mean to be. From the beginning, we are pressured to become what the world dictates we should be. We are pushed from our truth and molded into the roles expected of us. Family, religion, the educational system, friends, society, media, politics-all force us to deny the self and accept the roles thrust upon us. We are forced to deny ourselves, to forget ourselves. We are forced off our path. Inside you may know what is wrong, you may know what you need, and you may be afraid to claim it. Or you may only feel that something is not right: something hurts. This is the unbearable pain of being separated from our own inner knowing. This separation can look like anxiety, depression, grief, shame, anger, pain, guilt and so forth. My work is to help you back to yourself. We do this together through talk, through the creative use of therapeutic modalities, through releasing pain and embracing truth, to being present to what we find and what you decide you need to do to step into your authentic being.

Hello, my name is Devin Jones and I’m a licensed clinical social worker specializing in individual psychotherapy. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or questions about identity, trauma, or direction in life. I work with teens and adults to better understand these experiences while also building practical skills to feel more grounded and in control. My approach blends structured, evidence-based work like CBT and ERP with a more relational, collaborative style. That means we’ll not only explore patterns and past experiences, but also actively practice new ways of responding in the present. In our sessions, you’ll find a space where you can show up as you are—without needing to filter or perform. My goal is to create an environment that feels supportive, affirming, and grounded, while helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change.

My clients are a diverse group of smart, caring, and kind people who feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, or other challenges. Despite their many strengths, they sometimes struggle to build and maintain close relationships, face obstacles in their careers, or find it hard to achieve their goals despite the best of intentions. This can wear away at their self-worth and confidence, making everything feel even harder. Though therapy can sometimes feel heavy, it doesn't have to be all the time. My goal is to make it uplifting, engaging, and even fun—something to look forward to. Clients often describe me as calm, encouraging, nonjudgmental, and funny. I'm a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience specializing in depression, anxiety, ADHD, and relationships.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Michigan rather than a city like Detroit?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Michigan. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Michigan from Grand Rapids to Warren! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Michigan.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Depression?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Michigan that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
