Hello! First and foremost, I am so proud of you for reaching out to find support and connect with someone. It’s not always easy to say “hey, I am struggling!” but we all do, and we all deserve a safe space to process life. I am a life long Michigander, avid concert goer, board game enthusiast, and mom of two. I love being a therapist because I love connecting with others and creating a space to allow individuals to be themselves and talk about the heaviness of the day to day without judgement. I am an ally, advocate, and celebrator of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and genders. I am not religious but welcome and respect any religions you want to incorporate into your therapy. I offer telehealth sessions for college students- current priority will go to MSU students. If you do not have insurance and finances are the barrier to treatment, please reach out 💚🤍
Hello! My name is Olivia Brower and I work with Second Story Counseling at their Holland location.
Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s still not enough? Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, anxiety, or low mood that keeps you from truly enjoying life. Old wounds or difficult past experiences may still affect your relationships, self-worth, or ways of coping, making it hard to find stability and peace. Despite all your efforts, that deep sense of confidence and inner calm remains hard to find. In our work together, we can explore these patterns and underlying challenges, using effective approaches like CBT, DBT and EMDR therapy to help address and heal past trauma and unhelpful belief systems. If these struggles resonate, I’m here to help. My practice focuses on supporting individuals facing challenges with self-worth, anxiety, depression, life transitions and the impact of past trauma. In our work together, we’ll dive into these patterns, uncover their roots, and develop practical strategies for healing and growth. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Together, we’ll work toward a stronger, more confident you—ready to meet life’s challenges with resilience and embrace your true worth.

Great to meet you! My name is Cynthia D. Perry, and I am the founder of Restoration Christian Counseling. I provide Christ-centered counseling for individuals who are seeking healing, restoration, and a deeper relationship with God. Over the years, I have worked with people facing trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My therapy approach is one that is holistic to address the Mind, body, and spirit. I believe true healing comes through God’s Word and His restorative power. My approach combines biblical principles with therapeutic practice. I take a person-centered approach, meaning our work together moves at your pace and is always grounded in compassion, respect, and the belief that God has a redemptive plan for your life. In our first session, my focus is on listening to your story and creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel understood and supported. My clients often repot that they leave the first session with hope, encouragement, newfound strength, and inspiration to continue, renew, or to begin their relationship with God. Together, we’ll begin building a trust-based relationship that allows you to grow spiritually and emotionally. My goal is that you not only feel heard, but I am committed to helping clients find purpose, strength. peace, and restoration. For me, this is a ministry and a reflection of God's heart.
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Many times, it’s because we feel like something is not working. Whether it's a relationship, stress at work, feeling sad, overwhelmed, worried or depressed, we recognize there is a difference between where we are and where we want to be. Therapy provides a safe space for you to ask questions, gain a greater understanding and work towards becoming a better version of yourself.
You may trust that I will be authentic and genuine with you from the beginning as this is an important aspect of therapy. Making that call and keeping that first appointment can be such a hard thing to do, you deserve that honesty and integrity from the start. Over the last 23 years I have gained experience as a social worker. First as a case manager with my Bachelors in Social Work degree from Western Michigan University in 2000. Next as a therapist after earning my Masters of Social Work degree from Grand Valley State University in May 2005. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to further my skills in Michigan, North Carolina and Maine. I have had the privilege of gaining extensive experience working with individuals and groups (teens and adults, active duty service men and women and their families, veterans and civilians). Some client concerns include those struggling with: crisis response, depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, stress management, grief, loss, gender identity, Gender Identity, LGBTQ+ concerns, sexuality, self-care concerns, and other life disruptions or stress.
My passion is helping my patients work through issues plaguing their mental health and balance. Through a collaborative approach, we will work together to explore old patterns and develop new coping skills to help you achieve your goals and realize your potential.
