Meet margaret
Hello. My name is Margaret Cousins. I am a graduate student at Oral Roberts University studying to become a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked with children, families, and individuals as an associate pastor for over 30 years. I graduated from Oakland Community College with my Associate of Applied Science degree in Mental Health/Social Work in 2019. In 2022, I graduated from Oral Roberts University with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Care and Counseling. I believe that human beings are inherently relational, designed to thrive in connection with others. However, navigating these connections can sometimes require guidance and support to ensure they remain healthy and fulfilling. My main focus as a counselor is to walk alongside people and support them as they live fulfilling lives.
Meet Courtney
Hello, I am Courtney Minier. I am a graduate student at Grand Valley State University pursuing a Master of Social Work degree, with an expected graduation in 2026. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Grace Christian University in 2023, and I plan to continue my academic journey by pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan. My training includes Applied Behavioral Analysis and continuing education in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I’ve had the opportunity to serve as a case manager for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness in a correctional facility, support adolescents who are survivors of sex trafficking and other forms of sexual trauma, and work as a Behavior Technician with children diagnosed with Autism.
In my clinical approach, I draw from multiple theoretical perspectives, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Theory, and I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs of each client. I also believe strongly in the connection between physical and mental health and often integrate principles of health psychology to support overall well-being.

I hold a unique Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Psychology from the University of Mississippi, which equips me with a well-rounded perspective on human health and well-being.
I am committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered in their growth. I believe each person is the expert of their own life, and my role is to walk alongside them, offering guidance and encouragement on their journey. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Adlerian Theory, while I remain dedicated to expanding my skills to provide the highest level of care and build strong, collaborative therapeutic relationships.
