Individual Therapy · Grand Rapids, Michigan
Individual therapy,
through a relational
lens
Even when you come to therapy alone, you're not working in isolation. Your mental health is shaped by your relationship to other people, to yourself, and to the world you move through. Individual therapy here means learning to be in healthier relationship with all three, so the change you make can actually hold up out there.

What Brings People To Individual Therapy
You don't have to have
it figured out to begin
Anxiety & overwhelm
Your mind won't slow down. The worry follows you into your relationships, your work, and your rest.
Depression & low motivation
Getting through the day takes more than it used to. Even things you once enjoyed feel far away.
Recurring relationship patterns
The same dynamic keeps showing up with partners, family, or friends, and you're ready to understand why.
Life transitions
A breakup, a move, a new role, a loss. The ground has shifted, and you're finding your footing.
Self-worth & identity
You're not sure who you are outside of what you do for others, or who you've been told to be.
Feeling stuck or disconnected
You know something needs to change. You're just not sure where to start, or if you can do it alone.
Our Approach
Not just you.
Your web of relationship
Individual therapy here doesn't treat you as a self floating free of everything around you. You were formed in relationship, through caregivers, partners, culture, and community, and those relationships still shape how you think, feel, and cope today.
Our work is relationally informed and attachment-based, grounded in the belief that lasting change in how you feel starts with change in how you relate: to others, to yourself, and to the life you're building.
Relationally informed
We look at your struggles in the context of your relationships, past and present, rather than as symptoms floating in isolation.
Attachment-based
How you learned to give and receive love as a child still shapes how safe, seen, and secure you feel today. Understanding that pattern is often where change begins.
Self-in-relationship
Healthy individuation isn't the same as isolation. We help you build a stronger sense of self precisely so you can relate to others without losing yourself in them.
Connected care
If a partner or family member is also working with one of our therapists, your care doesn't happen in a silo. It's held within a practice that understands how those relationships connect.
A Practice Built for Relationships
More than a therapist.
A relational practice.
Most therapy practices treat relationships as a specialty reserved for couples or families. At The Family Therapy Place, relationships are the foundation of everything we do, including how we understand you as an individual. Every clinician here shares the same relational lens, whether you're working with us alone, alongside a partner, or as part of a family.
This means if you're seeing one of our therapists individually, and a partner or family member is working with another, your care isn't siloed. It's held within a practice that understands how all of those relationships connect.
Individual therapy
One-on-one work informed by a relational lens, because who you are, and who you're becoming, is shaped by relationship.
Couples therapy
Working with the relationship as its own living system, not just two individuals in the same room.
