Serving Grand Rapids, MI

Grand Rapids Therapy & Counseling

Therapy and counseling for Grand Rapids adults, couples, and families — a short drive south of downtown at our Wyoming, MI office.

Location & access

Getting here from Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids clients often tell us they wanted care that wasn't attached to a hospital system or a large group practice with a rotating intake queue. Parkview is six clinicians in one suite; the person you talk to about scheduling is the person who knows your file, and you see the same therapist every week.

The work we're asked for from the city itself spans widely: professionals carrying chronic work stress, couples doing communication and trust repair, adults getting an ADHD picture for the first time in their thirties or forties, and trauma work with EMDR. We also see healthcare workers, ministry leaders, and first responders — people whose jobs make the standard 9-to-5 therapy hour hard to hold.

Being just outside the city has a practical upside worth naming: no downtown parking structure, no meter, no circling. You park in the lot and walk in.

From downtown or the southwest side, US-131 south to the 44th Street exit puts you a couple of minutes from our door — the same route most of our Grand Rapids clients use.

Drive time: About 15 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids straight down US-131, and less from the southwest neighborhoods.

Parking: a large lot serves the building at 1428 44th Street SW, and our suite entrance is on the top floor.

Grand Rapids questions

Therapy in Grand Rapids — common questions

Why come out to Wyoming instead of seeing someone downtown?
Mostly parking and continuity. There's a large free lot at our building, so no structure, meter, or circling before a session you're already nervous about. And because we're a six-clinician practice rather than a system, you're not routed through an intake department and reassigned — you meet a therapist and stay with them.
Do you offer telehealth for Grand Rapids clients?
Yes, secure video sessions are available and many city clients mix them with in-person visits. If your week falls apart, telehealth keeps the appointment rather than pushing it to next month.
Do you have therapists who work with professionals and shift workers?
Yes. Rich Maier has considerable experience with first responders, veterans, healthcare providers, ministry leaders, and business professionals, and a few of our clinicians hold evening hours. Tell us your schedule constraint first and we'll match on that as well as on clinical fit.
Is there a low-cost option?
Cristina Dunahoo, who sees clients in our office, founded The CENTER for Wellbeing, a trauma-informed non-profit committed to making care accessible — including free or reduced-cost options. Ask us and we'll point you to the right door.
Before you call

What new clients usually ask first

Do you take my insurance?
We have therapists in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, BCN (Blue Care Network), Priority Health, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage is per clinician rather than practice-wide, so the honest answer is that it depends on who you see — message us with your plan and we'll tell you exactly which of our therapists can bill it. Self-pay rates are available if your plan isn't a fit or you'd rather not involve insurance at all.
Should I come in person or meet online?
Both work, and most clients end up doing some of each. In-person tends to be better for first sessions, couples work, and anything trauma-focused, where being in the room matters. Telehealth keeps the work going through a sick kid, a snow day, or a week where the drive isn't going to happen. You do not have to choose once and stick with it.
What actually happens in a first session?
Mostly talking and some paperwork. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, what you've already tried, what's going on at home and at work, and what you want to be different. You will not be asked to relive your worst memory on day one. By the end you should have a rough sense of the plan and whether this person feels like the right fit — and if they aren't, saying so is welcome, not awkward.
Can therapy here include my Christian faith?
Yes, and it's your call. Several of our clinicians integrate faith directly into the work — Rich Maier brings seminary education and US Army Chaplain Corps training, and Sara Hill is a former hospice chaplain. Others offer it on request. Clients who don't want faith in the room simply don't get it; nobody here will bring it up uninvited.
How long does therapy usually take?
There's no fixed number. Focused work on one concern often runs somewhere in the range of a few months of weekly sessions; longer-standing trauma or relationship patterns take longer. We'd rather talk openly about progress as we go than sell you an open-ended process.
What if I'm in crisis right now?
Parkview is not a crisis service and we can't respond to emergencies between sessions. Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 if someone is in immediate danger. Once things are stable, we're glad to be the ongoing support.
