Still Water Professional Counseling | Midland, Michigan

Help Children Heal. Help Families Reconnect. Make a Lasting Difference.

At Still Water Professional Counseling, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to feel safe, understood, confident, and full of hope.

Join a mission-driven counseling practice helping children and families thrive in Midland, MI. We are seeking a compassionate, licensed therapist who is passionate about serving children and families and committed to clinical excellence.

Children often communicate their experiences differently than adults. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship and developmentally appropriate clinical approaches, we help children find the safety and support they need to heal and grow.

From advanced training in trauma and addiction recovery, to specialized training in couples counseling and children’s play therapy, we bring proven expertise to every session.

This level of training enables us to offer effective solutions to break free from destructive patterns and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Our services include counseling for depression and anxiety, couples therapy to repair and strengthen relationships, children’s play and sand tray therapy, trauma therapy, and sexual addiction therapy for individuals and their partners who are recovering from betrayal trauma.
