My name is Steven Ward and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been a therapist for over 10 years and an intermittent therapy participant for 30 years. I believe in therapy and its ability to help others become their best selves. I have known since the first time therapy made a significant difference in my life, that I wanted to devote my life, time, and energy to serving and helping others by becoming a therapist. I received an undergraduate degree from Spring Arbor in Management and Organizational Development and utilized this to work my way through my Masters in Counseling, also from Spring Arbor University. I have worked with adults at all stages of life, and with more than a decade of experience I have learned strong, evidence-based treatments that offer concrete help. I engage with the real struggles individuals face, including trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, parenting difficulties, family conflicts and struggles, marital issues, and issues centered around substance use and addiction. My therapeutic approach is multidisciplinary and includes not only technique work, but cognitive, narrative, and game-based therapy interventions. My style works to create relationships that center on the importance of trust, kindness, and mutual learning. I believe that as a therapist, I have just as much to learn from you the client, as you would from me. I use this approach to create an environment where compassion, mutual learning, and a strong focus on what each client desires for themselves and their life is key. We can then create change without the work feeling burdensome or boring, but instead graceful and collaborative. As stated above, I have faith in the therapeutic process and will bring my considerable knowledge, talents, and compassion in helping you become the best self that you desire to be.

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.

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.

Hi, I'm Sara. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, perinatal mood disorders, and survivors of psychological, emotional, verbal, or physical abuse and/or domestic violence. I work with individuals who feel stuck, lonely, or overwhelmed, even when they are doing their best to cope. Many are exhausted from carrying the emotional weight of their relationships while struggling with self-doubt, heavy expectations, or the effects of emotional, psychological, or physical abuse. I also support women and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I offer a warm, trauma-informed, culturally affirming space to slow down and feel understood. My work supports immigrants, second-generation individuals, BIPOC, and others navigating emotional pain, faith, family expectations, or relationship strain.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker who believes therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and genuinely human. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I work intentionally to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and never judged. I often work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, attachment wounds, and the lingering impact of difficult experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning and capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. Together, we slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build practical tools that actually fit your real life. My approach integrates emotion-focused work, strengths-based perspective, psychoeducation, and motivational interviewing. That means we’ll explore both the “why” behind your experiences and the “how” of moving forward. I value clarity and transparency in therapy — I’ll help you understand what we’re doing and why, while keeping the process grounded and collaborative. Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and direct in a supportive way. I’m not here to tell you what to do — I’m here to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your confidence, and move toward the life and relationships you want. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hello, I’m A.J., a Licensed Master Level Social Worker from the U.P. of Michigan. Faith, Family, and Fellowship are things that I strive to live for daily. My faith is very important to me. I am involved in Men’s Ministry inside and outside of my church. Haggai 2:9 is a verse that is close to my family's heart: “The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house, says the Lord Almighty, in this place I will grant peace, declares the Lord Almighty.” My goal and prayer is that I can help individuals move into a better place than they were when therapy first began. My wife and I have three boys and one grandson. Our family enjoys spending time outside on our 20-acre property “Creation Acres” or getting away camping. My boys and I enjoy spending time in the woods or on the lake. I graduated from Ferris State University in 2018 with my Master’s Degree in Social Work after attending Lake Superior State University completing Criminal Justice / Public Safety Emphasis Bachelor’s Degree and a Paramedic Technology Associate’s Degree in 2008. I have experience working directly with law enforcement as a dispatcher and working in the public safety field as a fire fighter and as an EMT. I currently work for the Michigan Department of Corrections as a mental health specialist. Prior to this career, I worked for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services as a foster care case manager and a juvenile justice / juvenile delinquency case manager. I look forward to working with you during your journey. NOTICE – Due to my current position with the Michigan Department of Corrections, I am unable to accept referrals or work with anyone on parole or probation.

I am a Hispanic woman, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience, and an EMDR‑certified therapist dedicated to helping individuals heal from the wounds of their past. I work with clients ages 12 to 75 and offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where people can feel seen, supported, and safe. For those who desire it, I integrate biblical truth and faith‑based guidance into the therapeutic process, honoring both emotional healing and spiritual growth. Helping people has always been my passion, and I feel called to walk alongside individuals as they process trauma, rebuild their sense of self‑worth, and step into the life of peace, purpose, and wholeness that God has for them. My approach is gentle, empowering, and rooted in the belief that healing is possible—and that you don’t have to walk through it alone.

Hello! I am a licensed Masters of Social Work Clinical Counselor based in Michigan. I received my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My hope has always been to utilize my education to offer service and support to those who need a helping hand. I have worked in impatient, hospice, home care, residential, and hospital settings which has offered a wide range of knowledge in how poor mental health can negatively impact someone's life. Since 2020 I have focused my efforts on telehealth counseling which has helped me reach a population of individuals who may have not pursued therapy in the past. My goal is to be able to continue working with people who simply need a friendly and compassionate helping hand.

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 Trauma and PTSD?

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, Trauma and PTSD, 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.
