Getting to know Jeanice

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Northern Michigan. For more than 15 years, I have had the privilege of working in private practice and supporting people from diverse backgrounds as they navigate life's challenges and move toward greater healing, wellness, and balance. I am also proud to be an alumna of the National Health Service Corps.

I believe healing begins with compassion, curiosity, and a safe, supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach is centered on you as a whole person, and I value working collaboratively to understand your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I believe meaningful connection is at the heart of therapy, and I strive to create an environment where you feel confident to explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and discover new possibilities for growth.

My work integrates evidence-based and trauma-sensitive approaches to help us better understand the underlying causes of your symptoms while developing practical tools for lasting change and resilience. Depending on your needs and goals, I draw from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Psychoeducation strategies to empower you and help improve emotional regulation while reducing symptoms of anxiety, mood, impulsivity, overwhelm, and panic.

I have extensive training in attachment-based and trauma-informed therapies, including Brainspotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I also have experience supporting individuals navigating dissociation, personality adaptations, developmental trauma, relational trauma, and complex trauma. I recognize that each person's story is unique, and I strive to meet you where you are with warmth, respect, and an appreciation for your individual journey.

I am passionate about continuing to learn, grow, and share knowledge with others in the healing professions. Alongside my clinical work, I find great meaning in teaching, mentoring, and collaborating with fellow professionals who share a commitment to helping others heal and thrive. As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and EMDR Certified Therapist, an Approved Brainspotting Consultant and Certified Brainspotting Therapist, and a Consultant in Attachment-Focused Trauma Therapy, I value the opportunity to support others in their professional journeys while continuing to grow in my own.

Finding the courage to seek support is a powerful beginning, and you don’t have to figure out the next steps on your own. I welcome the opportunity to connect with you, learn more about what brings you to therapy, and explore how we might work together to support your healing, growth, and renewed experience of well-being.

I am currently accepting new patients and accept most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Care Network, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, BCBS, FCPID, Priority Health, Medicare, and UnitedHealthcare, as well as private pay.
