Meet Nicholas
Hello! My name is Nicholas Saarela, MA (he/him/his). I am a Master’s level Social Work student completing my internship in private practice therapy, through Grand Valley State University (Allendale, MI).
I believe that the most compelling aspect of therapy is improving our emotional health and wellbeing. You deserve therapy that caters not to my ideas of what you “should” do, but rather to an individual, personal approach to your situation and needs. I work with individuals that struggle with a wide range of issues, including substance use and recovery, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, and anxiety. With couples, I can help with issues such as infidelity and intimacy, emotional distance, parenting conflicts and communication issues. I welcome LGBTQIA+ clients as well!
My methodology varies according to your particular needs, but is generally rooted in a Psychodynamic approach, informed by CBT and DBT methods. Therapy with me will center on putting the right cognitive “tools” in your “toolbox," with the goal of helping you relate to your own experiences and thought processes in new and novel ways, all with an eye on better self-awareness and decision-making.
Meet Erika
My name is Erika Fudold. I am completing my master’s degree in Social Work at Grand Valley State University and have recently received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Grand Valley State University. In my leisure time, I enjoy working out, shopping, and spending time with my family and friends. I also love to be outdoors and enjoy going on long walks with my dogs.
My preferred population of interest is helping and assisting adolescents in any way I can. I look forward to serving you according to your counseling needs.
