Jazmin Guy is a compassionate and grounded therapist who believes that you are the expert on your life. Her role is to walk alongside you—offering insight, encouragement, and reflection to help you reconnect with your truth and move toward healing. With a blended approach rooted in holistic practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and spiritual exploration, Jazmin works with individuals navigating major life transitions, unresolved childhood trauma, postpartum shifts, grief, and the often-overwhelming process of self-discovery. She also supports parents in redefining their identity and finding balance in their evolving roles. Her direct yet nurturing style helps clients get to the heart of their pain, making space for clarity, transformation, and growth. Clients often describe Jazmin as warm, intuitive, and refreshingly honest. Her welcoming energy makes it easier to be vulnerable, and her dependability provides a safe container for meaningful change. “I’ve always been deeply curious about what shapes us—the experiences, beliefs, and stories we carry. Therapy is a place to unpack those pieces and build a new, empowered narrative.” Jazmin’s mission is simple: to hold space, reflect truth, and support you in creating realistic expectations—for yourself, your relationships, and your healing journey.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” -Lao Tzu My name is Taibriana Wilkins. I am an African-American BIPOC woman, using she/her/ella pronouns. My love of cultures, exploration and language encouraged me to travel and live abroad. Before studying to be a clinical social worker and therapist, I spent a few years in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Hyogo prefecture, Japan working as an English Foreign Language teacher. I was able to improve my language skills, eat delicious food, and explore. One of the major themes I gained from living abroad and living in Michigan is the ability to manage and adjust to transitions. Life is full of transitions, whether it be adjusting to an unfamiliar environment, readjusting to a familiar environment, a new position, changes in family dynamics and social life, it is important to practice skills related to connecting with yourself and others. I provide a non-judgmental space for YOU to play and explore life while in therapy. To reflect on the past and consider the future, it is valuable to be grounded in the present. When we play, we are in the present moment. I am warm, encouraging, direct and enjoy sharing a laugh. Attending and engaging in therapy can provoke a host of emotional responses. Developing a positive relationship between YOU the client and myself the therapist is important for exploration and when practicing vulnerability. In session, YOU may seek insight into everyday situations, examine patterns of behavior, and practice coping skills to navigate difficult moments. I specialize in serving teens/adolescents, college students, young adults, and clients of marginalized identities including Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), International students, immigrants, and LGBTQIAS2+ populations. I have practiced at a Lansing area community center and at Michigan State University. Topics of focus in session surround navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, time management skills, family dynamics, and identity formation.

I work with teens and adults who are thoughtful, sensitive, and often high-functioning, but are carrying more than others can see. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or feeling caught in patterns that are hard to change. My work is neurodivergent-affirming. This means I don’t see ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence as problems to fix, but as important parts of how you experience the world. Whether you have a diagnosis or are simply exploring, I offer a space to better understand your brain, reduce shame, and build a life that honors your needs and strengths. I also support clients navigating trauma, grief, religious or spiritual hurt, identity shifts, and major life transitions. I offer a grounded, respectful space for exploring emotion, meaning, and self-connection. My approach integrates somatic awareness, relational depth, and gentle structure to bring steadiness and coherence. I honor grief, sensitivity, and identity work as pathways toward clarity, healing, and renewal. I am also trained in Brainspotting, a somatic therapy and am working toward becoming ADHD-CCDP certified. Therapy can offer steadiness, a place to listen inward, integrate, and reconnect with yourself. It would be an honor to be a part of your support team.

Matthew serves as a companion to those who desire to experience healing, growth, and transformation in their pursuit of the full human experience. He works to offer a space of mutual, compassionate, and empathetic listening to the story your life is telling. Matthew believes that the opportunity to work with you is a sacred privilege, and is committed to discovering a shared process in therapy that honors who you are, your background, and your future path. Practicing therapy with Matthew may include focusing on developing tools and practices to help manage emotions and thoughts, support in healing from past experiences, assistance developing healthier behavioral patterns, and/or establishing new values. However, there is not one therapeutic approach that fits all, which is why he works closely with you to identify your own needs and goals. Matthew is experienced primarily in individual work with adolescents and adults from all backgrounds and genders, in areas related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, identity exploration, finding belonging, discovering purpose, grief/loss, and religious and spiritual questions [and related trauma]. He is a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist. Matthew graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2024. He is also a graduate of Kuyper College [BS], Cornerstone Theological Seminary [MA], and the Living School for Action and Contemplation. His experience living internationally and attending two universities in multi-cultural and inter-religious environments has deeply shaped how he engages individuals from a diversity of circumstances and backgrounds. Matthew’s professional and academic emphasis on restorative justice practices, as well as the unique cognitive, developmental, and mental health needs of people of all ages has deepened his ability to foster effective therapeutic environments and meaningful relationships with clients. Matthew believes that our growth as people cannot be manufactured or controlled, and is therefore something we can only cooperate with and bear witness to. For many, the journey and practice of our work together becomes an outcome in itself. While Matthew is a generalist when it comes to theoretical orientation, he naturally integrates person-centered, narrative, existential, humanist, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment approaches.

I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples and groups, which has given me a broad understanding of how we relate to one another and ourselves. Whether we meet in person or virtually, my goal is to help you build the practical coping strategies and emotional insight you need to navigate life with more balance. I often think of my role as providing an objective mirror when things feel cloudy, helping you find your own internal compass.

Emotional peace and freedom are possible, whatever storm you may find yourself in. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relational conflict, family stressors, and who want to know themselves more deeply. So often there are a multitude of factors at play- relationships, academics, work, culture, and more- and therapy can be a place to explore how these impact thoughts, feelings, experiences, and your sense of self. It is my hope and commitment to create a space where exploring your challenges and goals can allow for the kind of growth and peace you want in your life and relationships.
