Serving Kentwood, MI

Kentwood Therapy & Counseling

Therapy for Kentwood residents — anxiety, trauma, and family counseling at our Wyoming, MI office.

Location & access

Getting here from Kentwood

Kentwood is one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse communities in Kent County, and that shapes the care we're asked for. We offer therapy in Spanish, and we work with clients navigating immigration stress, cultural adjustment, and family expectations across generations.

We also see first responders and shift workers from this part of the metro, where scheduling around a rotating shift is often the real barrier to starting therapy.

Kentwood sits east of our office along the 44th Street corridor, which keeps the trip short enough that a weekly appointment doesn't have to be planned around.

Drive time: Around 10 minutes west along 44th Street from most of Kentwood.

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

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.
