I believe it is important to help each client feel comfortable, valued, and respected during the therapeutic process. My approach focuses on partnering with you to find healing, hope and meaning in your life. Sometimes that means working to understand present difficulties in light of past experiences; sometimes it means focusing on learning new ways to effectively cope with unplanned life challenges. I have experience in working with individuals focusing on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, substance abuse, strengthening relationships, improving communication, pregnancy loss, post-abortive issues, and spiritual concerns. Perhaps you are feeling: -not good enough -disconnected and alone -uncontrollable worry -stressed, easily irritable, angry, and frustrated -unable to focus and distracted -challenged by making life and behavioral changes Our work together can help you feel more in control, identify effective coping skills, manage even your most difficult feelings, understand the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, feel connected both to self and those closest to you, and find healing and meaning in your life. Please contact me today to get started or with any question you may have. Background and Education I earned a bachelors degree from Grand Valley State University and a Masters degree in Counseling from Cornerstone University’s Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Michigan. Prior to starting Persenaire Counseling Services, LLC, I worked for a non-profit agency in Grand Rapids as part of a treatment team in an adolescent substance abuse program. I am continually working to further my education in providing optimal care. I am focused on the perspective of holistic care; the mind, body and spirit, when learning and investigating evidence based interventions of mental health disorders.
I believe that you are the master of your own life, and I believe that therapy is a joint process that we can navigate together. I am not here to judge you or tell you how you should be living. I am here to help you develop the tools and understanding needed to create the life you want and meet your long and short term goals. I have a focus centered around the LGBTQ+ community, but also specialize in working with women's issues, anxiety disorders, depression, and grief. I have worked in crisis intervention and have experience with treating substance use disorders. I utilize a mix of Cognative Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and person centered modalities to help adults who are looking for a change in their life, looking to better understand how to cope, or looking to go through their process of healing and/or recovery. I am not just a counselor, but also a peer. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community, and have struggled with an anxiety disorder and bouts of depressive symptoms throughout my life. I hope that my experiences can better help me to understand yours and allow me to be a positive asset to you in your journey to grow and heal.
Are you on the struggle bus and can’t find a way off? Adult-ing is hard, amiright?! Most of my clients are young adults navigating ALL.THE.THINGS while trying to make everyone else happy. Spoiler alert: THIS ISN’T SUSTAINABLE!! Our work together is to guide you in sorting through all the mental muck, tapping into the most authentic version of you. I am not your typical therapist. Well, I do like cardigans and wide rimmed glasses. I also like to laugh a lot and cuss a little, or cuss a lot and laugh a little—depends on the day! Either way, you will receive my most authentic self, honesty in your journey, and a depth of specialized trainings to guide your experience. So, if you feel ready to reach out and get on the path to being enough/good enough and living your best life for YOU, instead of everyone else—email me. Email is the easiest and fastest way to connect with me.
At The Well Being, we provide our clients with skilled therapists who are easy to relate to, and easy to connect with.

Hello, I'm Jarid, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journeys toward healing and growth. My desire to be a counselor stemmed from a longing to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. After years in the corporate world, I craved a career with purpose, one that allowed me to foster deep connections and witness transformation. What I love most about counseling is the opportunity to form authentic relationships with my clients. I'm honored to share in their growth and witness their lives transform into something fulfilling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and its potential for healing. I also value challenging my clients in a way that pushes them forward. I am not the kind of therapist to let you come in weekly and just maintain the status quo of your life. Together we will constantly push toward the change that you are looking for and the change that you need. The most rewarding moments in my practice are when clients experience empathy for themselves and their stories. This self-acceptance allows them to envision a clear path forward and embrace personal growth. My clients often tell me that their therapy experiences with me are unlike any other. They appreciate my deep engagement, presence, and understanding. I prioritize a collaborative, equal, and beneficial relationship with each client. My own mental and emotional well-being is a priority. I have my own therapist and apply my knowledge and experience to my life. I find joy in mindfulness practices, humor, and spending time with loved ones. Outside of counseling, I enjoy reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, playing video games, golfing, going to the movies, music, and spending time on the water. I created my own practice to have the freedom to meet my clients where they are and provide them with the best care possible. I value the autonomy to tailor my approach without external constraints. Thank you for considering me as your guide on your path to well-being. I look forward to supporting you through your journey.
I don’t look like what I have been through, and you don’t have to, either. There are times in our lives when we can’t see past our grief, trauma, passion, or desires. There is no shame in talking things out with a professional trained to help. We all walk a different path, but talking to someone can sometimes help us see the forest, not just the trees. My goal is to assist you in establishing healthy boundaries across various areas of your life, enhancing self-awareness, and embracing uncomfortable emotions like guilt and shame. I promote self-love and compassion, improve communication skills, and encourage you to face your fears and uncertainties.
College is a transformative journey that often comes with its unique set of challenges. Whether you're grappling with homesickness, academic pressures, or the complexities of personal relationships, therapy can provide invaluable support and guidance. I am passionate about helping young adults develop confidence, self-awareness, and the skills needed to succeed not only academically, but also emotionally and socially. Let me help you thrive throughout your college years and beyond! I can be reached at 810-444-2484 or contact@unwrittenendingsllc.com

People with self-critical thoughts, perfectionists, those who find it difficult to understand their own feelings, I am not here to change your thoughts, or to get rid of them; I don't believe that's possible, even if we can sometimes ignore them for a couple hours. But I do believe we can learn to respond to those thoughts differently, in ways that acknowledge and makes space for them, but doesn't leave you getting pushed around by them, doing things that don't feel like "you." I'm sure you have your reservations, that's normal and healthy. Therapy isn't easy! But if you're not happy with how things have been - how you've been treating yourself, others, the world around you - I would love to talk. I try my best to make therapy more than just "feeling your feelings." I want you to come away with a sense of peace and preparedness. Here's the part where I try to convince you I'm not a lizard in a therapist suit. My favorite Pokémon is Vulpix, I love Dungeons and Dragons, and cheesecake is objectively the best food. Thank you for reading, fellow humans. Talk to you soon, maybe!
