Kalie Schmidt, LMSW- Reiki Practitioner
My goal as therapist is to provide an environment that is safe, comfortable, and relaxed where my clients know they can be open and honest about themselves and reasons for seeking counseling without judgement.
I typically work with older adolescents and adults. My experience in my career as a master’s level social worker has been in mental health inpatient, partial, and outpatient treatment. I have worked with a variety of individuals dealing with mild to severe mental health issues/concerns including depression, anxiety, self-harm/suicidal ideation, perinatal/postpartum depression and anxiety, bipolar and related mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, substance use issues/addiction, and trauma.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and treatment modalities specific to the client’s needs. Some of those include motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, solution focused therapy, family systems and strengths-based perspective.
My hope for my clients is that the therapeutic experience builds confidence in themselves and ability to make decisions; manage life and its stress; as well as find a sense of direction, peace and purpose as often clients come into therapy feeling lost or confused about themselves or situations around them.

Stacia Fridley, LMSW - Master Reiki Practitioner
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 29 years of experience. I've worked with various clients facing different mental health challenges and have learned from many skilled professionals about treatment methods and the biology of mental health. These experiences have provided me with deep insights into human behavior mentally, emotionally, and biologically. I recently completed my master reiki training and enjoy integrating it into my client care.
My goal is to create a calm and comforting space for clients. I help them understand their symptoms and find peace, acceptance, personal growth, confidence, and purpose. Learning to recognize and manage fears, as well as unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, can be transformative. I am relaxed, kind, honest, and open in sessions.
I work with older adolescents and adults facing various mental health issues, including depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, social anxiety with panic attacks, postpartum depression/anxiety, OCD, borderline personality disorder, and mood disorders. I assist individuals with mild to severe mental health concerns or those dealing with life stressors or transitions.

Whitney Miller, LMSW
We all face change. Life changes and personal growth are inevitable, and sometimes can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. A lack of change or growth can cause us to feel unhappy with ourselves. Whether you are struggling with adapting to changes in life or are feeling stuck and are looking for change, we can work collaboratively to address your struggles.
My approach is to meet you wherever you are (emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or physically) and help you set goals (at your pace) that you want to accomplish in therapy. My goal is to offer you a laid-back, safe place for you to process your challenges, to feel supported, and to build confidence in your ability to initiate that desired change; or face those scary, inevitable changes.
I received my Master of Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My experience has been focused on working with children, adolescents, and families in residential, school and home-based, and inpatient mental health treatment settings. I have a background in working with mild to severe mental health issues including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation/self-harm, perinatal/postpartum issues, bipolar and related mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, and co-occurring disorders.
Therapeutic approaches I commonly utilize are Motivational Interviewing, Brief-Solution Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills, and Mindfulness Practices.
