**Whom the Son Sets Free- John 8:36
My name is Danni, and I’m a Christian - Licensed Therapist with degrees in Clinical Social Work and Marriage and Family Counseling. I’ve worked in mental health across a range of settings, but it was my nearly eight years of experience working with aggressive, nonverbal children and clients on the autism spectrum that shaped my passion for understanding behavior as unspoken, unconscious communication.
This experience taught me to read beneath the surface and recognize that our behaviors often reflect deeper emotional needs and unresolved wounds. While my roots are in behavioral work, my focus is on helping adults and adolescents explore their inner worlds—especially through inner child work. I believe the inner child is present in all of us, and that healing comes from understanding and nurturing these parts of ourselves.
My approach is direct, thorough, and compassionate. I am committed to helping clients get to the root of their distress and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
My Approach and Beliefs
I offer progressive therapy grounded in psychodynamic trauma processing and inner child work. Together, we’ll go beyond surface symptoms to trace pain to its origins, uncover where coping mechanisms and triggers first formed, and support you in healing and integrating your whole self.
This process can be intense and challenging, but I am here to walk with you every step of the way. My goal is to help you move from surviving to truly living.
I have been professionally helping people for over 33 years. During that time I have gained a lot of experience, training and education that I put to work for you to help you get to where you want to be. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate and easy to relate to. I absolutely love what I do and my life has meaning because I see people I council get in with their life and living in healthy and meaningful ways. I am truly here for you. I could have retired a long time ago but I cannot believe that there is anything more satisfying or fulfilling than helping people when they reach out and ask for it.
Welcome—I’m Tancier, a licensed therapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strength. My name, rooted in French origins, reflects purpose and intuition—qualities I bring into every session. I work with clients ages 8 through adulthood, offering a compassionate, down-to-earth space where healing can begin.
My approach combines evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a creative, client-centered lens. I believe therapy should feel safe, empowering, and tailored to your unique journey. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you with curiosity, care, and a grounded commitment to building lasting resilience from the inside out.
Hi, my name is Teilor, and I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life’s deeper questions. I take an integrative approach that includes practical tools to help manage overwhelming emotions, while also drawing from existential therapy to explore the "why" beneath the surface. If you’ve been feeling anxious or down, it’s totally understandable to want some relief—but my approach is to take a deeper look at what those feelings might be trying to tell you.
I know how isolating it can feel when emotions are overwhelming, relationships are challenging, or family conflict leaves you feeling stuck. I’m passionate about creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can truly be yourself—whether you’re working on building confidence and self-esteem, learning to be more assertive, navigating attachment or relationship issues, or feeling misunderstood. I welcome and support people from all backgrounds, including those who are neurodivergent or part of the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone who’s struggled to find a therapist who truly relates to them. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, and together we’ll work on building stronger connections, finding relief from painful cycles, and developing practical tools so you can create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
I obtained a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years, and I spent the last six years working as a professional counselor with children, adolescents, young adults, middle aged adults, older adults, couples and families on a variety of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, social anxiety, eating disorders, career counseling, parenting, relationship issues/poor communication, etc.
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.

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.
