Hello, my name is Calli Kreutzberger and I am part of a group practice in Okemos called Spring Forest Counseling and Wellness. I am a licensed professional counselor who enjoys working with teens, adults, couples, and families from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, as well as those within the LGBTQIA+ community. I enjoy working with a variety of issues including trauma, anxiety and panic, anger, intrusive thoughts, self-esteem, mood concerns, and relationships. I create a safe place for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors at their own pace. I strive for my clients to always feel like they can express themselves in a supportive environment that encourages growth in a non-judgemental way. I often integrate mindfulness and art-based activities to help clients learn to process in the present moment and gain coping skills to bring into all areas of life. My counseling perspective has roots based in psychodynamic and holistic, person-centered therapy with an emphasis on trauma-focused care. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, listening to live music at concerts, attending art festivals and spending time with family & friends.

I am on Headway for virtual sessions. I would love to meet you. I was a non-traditional student when I attended college. I know how hard it can be. I will walk along side of you while we tackle your problems together.

I have been a Counselor for three decades and have equipped myself with a wealth of education, experience and training that will be at your disposal in order for you to reach your goals and begin to thrive once again. We all hit bumps in the road where with some professional help we can manage and learn how to overcome, cope and even thrive. I am here for you. Give me a call or send me an email and let’s get started in your way to freedom, health and life.

With 29 years of experience, helping others is not just my job; it is my nature. Life can be stressful at times, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and lost in your own thoughts. In my practice, you will find a warm and empathetic environment so you may share your feelings and your story. I offer coping skills, ways to understand your emotions, and help you find real solutions to daily problems. These tools can help to restore a sense of calm in your life and guide you in finding your way back to yourself. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self worth and confidence, relationships and dating, family of origin challenges, and work stress. We all need a little support and guidance at times. I'm currently offering video sessions, and am happy to join you on a phone call to talk about how I can best help you. I look forward to hearing from you.

I approach counseling holistically with cognitive-behavioral, trauma focused, emotion focused, and mindfulness-based techniques. Grief and loss, premarital and marriage, anxiety, and depression are all in my areas of specialty and certification.

Do you feel something is missing from your life? Do you feel you have lost your way and are unsure where to go next? Do you find yourself asking: “where did I go wrong” or “what matters to me anymore?” Clients may find their usual coping skills are no longer sufficient, have unintentionally relinquished their autonomy, be stuck due to unaddressed trauma, or have never found the time to look within and get to know themselves. Sessions with me are oriented around thought-provoking questions and free association. The process is highly client-driven as anything on your mind could merit deeper exploration. My preference is always to seek out the root problems, or at least the symptoms and patterns that will grant us the most headway. This process can take time, but my goal is for you to leave therapy with enough self-assurance and resilience to be your own therapist!

You may have been holding things together okay, but lately it's been harder. It may be harder to sleep, do the things you want to do, or maybe you don't want to do anything at all. It's been too overwhelming and you don't know how to move forward. Emotions can take control sometimes. Other times we have difficulty engaging with them. I work with clients who want to learn how to navigate their emotions and process events that don't make sense. I help my clients engage with their emotions safely and confidently. I provide a Christian emphasis if desired. You don't have to keep doing this alone. I can help you process your emotions so you experience the freedom you're looking for. We will go at your pace.

In my therapeutic work, I take a warm, client-centered approach, creating a safe, relaxed space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

When working with adults and families, I encourage collaborative sessions that adapt to their unique needs and goals.

I believe therapy should feel comfortable and approachable, where progress happens through connection, processing, trust, and meaningful conversation. I look forward to working with you!

Our lives can take many different paths, and finding the path that meets our needs and values can be hard to navigate.

Hi! I am an EMDR-Certified and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with a specialization in working with college students (both "traditional" and "non-traditional"). I deeply enjoy getting to work with folks who are looking to address challenges they might be experiencing in their relationships: their relationships to partners, friends, family members, and importantly, to themselves. Many life experiences may lead us to feel in disconnection with ourselves: whether you have experienced relational or institutional trauma, are navigating multiple life transitions (e.g. beginning a new degree, receiving a new medical diagnosis), or are exploring social, sexual or gender identity, I am here to help you reconnect with yourself and take steps forward in your healing journey.

I graduated from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary in 2022 with a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and from Kuyper College in 2011 with a double major in Bible & Theology and Youth Ministry. My story is a tale of two worlds. I grew up in the country of Haiti, while my adult years have been spent in West Michigan. Both the contrasts and similarities between the two have influenced the way I view the world. And just as my experiences shaped who I am today, the same is true for you. We are all journeying through life, and it is a privilege for me to be welcomed into your story. Of all the people I have met in all the locations I have traveled to, I have found the following to be true: though each story is unique, everyone faces challenges, and everyone has the need to be heard, to be valued, and to be loved. Outside of working as a counselor, most of my time is spent with my family. My greatest joy is spending time with my wife and two kids. We enjoy playing games, reading books, building Legos, playing pretend with dolls and other toys, spending time outside, and being goofy together. My favorite personal pastime is reading, especially the fantasy genre. One reason why I enjoy counseling is because I am given the opportunity to enter the story of each person and journey through it together. My Approach I care deeply about all people and aim to demonstrate that by valuing who you are as an individual and listening attentively to your story. I view counseling as a collaborate process in which we work together to meet your unique needs. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to counseling, and so I prefer an eclectic approach. Some I have found effective are internal family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches—though I am always open to discovering others to meet your needs more effectively. I place immense value on the counseling relationship, approaching it from a person-centered perspective, and focus early sessions on building rapport. When engaging with children in I also incorporate developmentally appropriate play and art techniques. What you can expect Trusting people is difficult, especially when it comes to the vulnerable areas of our lives where pain and suffering exist. So, you can expect early sessions to focus on building a foundation of mutual trust. Together we will create an environment of safety where you are free to be and express who you are. I will give you my full, nonjudgmental attention as you share your story. Then we will collaboratively explore your needs, set goals, and problem-solve as we journey towards hope and healing.

Ready to overcome that thing you’re struggling with? Feel like anxiety is constantly taking over? Or that your past is holding you back? Do your emotions control your day?

I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety and the various effects of trauma. My hope is that my clients will find healing from their past so they have freedom to create their future. What’s different about me? I use EMDR therapy to help clients find lasting results. I do my very best to make therapy a valuable, enduring investment. I have an active, warm, collaborative style and my goal is for you to gain something every session and continually make progress. Email me to set up a free 15 minute phone consultation!

The transition to college is huge and especially challenging after years of having life structured for you. Let’s work together to help you feel better and get back on track to bring out the best version of you. We will work on ways to cope with anxiety, clean up self-talk, and work on boundaries if need be. We can work on creating some structure with some flexibility that works for you. I can help you with regaining focus and getting back on track. I look forward to hearing from you!

My goal is to create a place for you to be open and honest without judgment. This is critical as counseling is a personal journey. I understand fully the pressures/struggles that life places in our paths. I actively listen to what you want to achieve and work diligently alongside you toward making that a reality.
