Founder & licensed counselor
She/her
Bay City, Michigan
Amber offers trauma-informed therapy for teens and adults navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, women's issues, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm.
"Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what feels overwhelming or stuck."
Her work is grounded in mindfulness-based and Internal Family Systems-informed approaches, with attention to relationship, nervous system awareness, creativity, and the parts of us that carry pain, protection, and survival patterns.
Licensed counselor & CAADC
She/her
Bay City, Michigan
Megan brings warmth, honesty, and extensive experience to her work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, and the full complexity of co-occurring concerns.
"Healing is not about becoming someone else — it is about learning to understand yourself, recognize your worth, and find the courage to build a life that feels more authentic."
Her approach is client-centered and individualized, drawing from cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, emotional regulation skills, and strengths-based interventions — always adapted to the person in front of her.
Our collective is evolving with new clinicians, limited-license professionals, practicum students, interns, groups, workshops, and creative healing offerings. Each person who joins shares a commitment to trauma-informed, relational care.
The best therapeutic fit starts with a conversation. Reach out to learn more about current availability and find a supportive place to begin.
