Depression Anxiety Trauma/PTSD Self Esteem Existentialism & Spirituality Self HarmAnna Vandergriff Anna Vandergriff She/Her LLMSW-C Psychotherapist Offers in person sessions in Plymouth, MI. Offering virtual sessions. Request an Appointment Populations Served Adults Young Adults Specialty Areas Depression Anxiety Trauma/PTSD Self Esteem Existentialism & Spirituality Self Harm Therapeutic Biography Have you ever felt stuck, as if emotions, habits, or relationships are repeating old patterns? As though something is holding you back from being present, from finding motivation, connection, or peace of mind? To understand what may have become stuck or lost along the way, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be a helpful approach to uncovering these answers. As clinician who believes in a holistic approach to therapy, I strive to strengthen the connection we each have to our mind (through our thoughts), our body (through our emotions), and our spirit (through our actions). In order to build a strong connection with those I work with, I begin treatment by exploring your story—the lens through which you see the world around you. This story shapes our beliefs about who we are, what we are capable of, and what we deserve. Through a multifaceted approach to therapy, I aim to help you reconnect with your strengths, goals, and ultimately rebuild the confidence to express the most authentic parts of yourself. Specializing in anxiety and depression, I also use EMDR, a gentle yet powerful therapy designed to help you process and release trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain at their core. My goal is to foster an empowering therapeutic relationship that encourages you to actively engage in your personal growth through mindfulness-based strategies and somatic-oriented coping skills. If you're in a season of transition, feeling uncertain, or experiencing self-doubt, I’d like to help you find the clarity you're seeking and inspire your personal growth and healing.

Psychological EvaluationKendra Mazur Kendra Mazur She/Her Psy. Sp., LLP Senior Psychologist Request an Appointment Populations Served Adults Teens Children Specialty Areas Psychological Evaluation Therapeutic Biography As a school psychologist with over 20 years experience, it has been my passion to help students get the most out of their educational experience. I consider myself an advocate to both students and parents within the educational system. I decided to take my experience from working in the schools to private practice to broaden my commitment to helping others better understand themselves. I believe psychological assessments can be a useful tool in doing so. My approach to conducting evaluations is to make you as comfortable as possible during the evaluation. After talking with you about your assessment needs, we will discuss the process and tools that will be used to better prepare you for the evaluation. I will discuss the results with you in a comfortable environment and ensure you have a clear understanding of what your strengths and weaknesses might be and how to utilize those strengths in your journey of understanding yourself. The purpose of a psychological assessment is to better understand a person's strengths and weaknesses, identify potential problems with cognitions, emotional reactivity, and to help make recommendations for treatment. An assessment can include a multitude of tools such as, cognitive, academic, adaptive behavior, behavior rating scales, and personality assessments. Cognitive assessments measure a person's cognitive abilities- problem solving, reasoning, vocabulary, comprehension, processing speed, and memory. They are more commonly known as intelligence or IQ tests, and are used to identify a person's strengths and potential, as well as to help identify weaknesses. Academic assessments are typically used for the school aged population to test how much an individual has progressed in learning a specific subject. Adaptive behavior measures the social, communication, and practical skills of a person, to determine their ability to function on a daily basis at home, school or work. Behavior rating scales measure a variety of emotional and behavioral problems both at home and school. Personality assessments focuses on the personality traits of an individual. It helps evaluate if a person is more introverted or extroverted, cautious or spontaneous, and how they may react or respond to various life situations.

Request an Appointment Populations Served Adults Couples Specialty Areas Slow, Mindful Yoga Reiki Meditation Health Coaching Therapeutic Biography I have been a registered nurse for over 20 years and have always been interested in the mind body connection. My love for yoga started as a way to find clarity and balance in my own life and quickly drew me into a more spiritual way of living. My yoga mat became the place where I found self-awareness, peace and contentment. I decided to take a yoga teacher training to deepen my own practice, but never with the intent to teach. As I completed the course, I gained a deeper sense of myself, an evolved practice and an excitement to share with others. I enjoy teaching slow, mindful yoga that builds self-awareness, regulates the nervous system and ultimately builds greater resilience. I believe that yoga should be taught so that it is accessible to everyone. My mission is to weave authentic yoga principles into today’s modern living to bring balance, peace and stability.

- Balance and the Wise Mind | Simply Mindful Counseling
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) founder Marsha Linehan describes Wise Mind as “that part of each person that can know and experience truth. It is where the person knows something to be true or valid. It is almost always quiet. It has a certain peace. It is where the person knows something in a centered way.” Balance and the Wise Mind Spring 2023 I’ve resisted a newsletter or blog, until now, because it’s felt antithetical to our goal of keeping things simple. I’ve not wanted to fill up your inbox with useless junk or be another email in your spam box. I’ve had to balance that with the desire to want to share relevant and even sometimes urgent information. So, today we introduce our first newsletter with the goal of balance. We hope to offer monthly or semi-monthly news, care, support, and perhaps, even a little wisdom, delivered right to your inbox. The goal is to keep our newsletter simple and mindful. This month, with the drastic swings in temperature, the word “Balance” frequents my mind. Our spring season has brought mid-summer heat, preceded by days of rain and ice then followed by days of snow. We’ve experienced all four seasons in a single week. But as the green buds begin to blossom and the crocuses break new ground, hope feels abundant. Spring strives for balance as it swings from morning frosts to sunny evenings. I find myself craving stability in the midst of such a chaotic spring. My body needs rest and my mind begs for stillness. We have no control over the weather. That may be why so many of us find stability and balance through cleaning in the springtime; sweeping out the old and freshening up with some new. It’s active and grounding. It makes space for embracing the hope embodied in those beautiful eager buds that spring brings forth. While a seasonal spring comes around only once a year, it predictably and steadily yields to the consistency of summer. But we can find ourselves in our own personal spring at anytime of the year, without guarantee of a surrender toward balance. Our minds are not as whimsical as the season. We have agency. That means that we can create our own peaceful summer when it’s needed. Even right now. There is no better time to find your balance. Internal balance comes with finding our Wise Mind, and it isn’t quite as elusive at the weather. I promise. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) founder Marsha Linehan describes Wise Mind as “that part of each person that can know and experience truth. It is where the person knows something to be true or valid. It is almost always quiet. It has a certain peace. It is where the person knows something in a centered way.” Our Wise Mind is that part within all of us that is in touch with what we really need. It’s that part of us that, down to our bones and cells; that wants to heal and continue to grow and connect. The Wise Mind is always there, but it is often drowned out by the distractions of the moment, the pain of the past, or the worry of the future. We’re frequently too busy and too stressed to easily access that part of ourselves. We end up vacillating between the rational mind and the emotional mind in the same way that spring swings from hot to snow and frost to sunny skies. In a similar fashion to spring cleaning, finding balance through the engagement of our Wise Mind is an active process: a bit of unpacking what trained us away from our Wise Mind here, a sprinkle of mindfulness there, add in a new skill or two around emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and there you go, you're well on your way to finding the balance you crave. The Wise Mind is accessed by calibrating the space between the emotional and the rational, fine-tuning our own behavior, challenging our thinking, leaning into our knowing, and trusting our truth. Find stillness. Rest. Give yourself the space to lean into your own Wise Mind. This Season we are launching some initiatives to support the journey of finding our Wise Minds. Hadley Huff, LLMSW , will be offering two separate DBT groups : a teen group and an adult group. Each will focus on supporting skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. We’re also growing the Integrative Healthcare Services offered at our practice. These services are adjunct to your psychotherapy and are there to help you find stillness and give you space to release what your body holds. Vikki Narayan, RN, BSN will continue to offer private one one-on-one yoga sessions, individual or couple’s meditation sessions and reiki. Click here to learn more or to schedule these services. As we grow and offer new services, Simply Mindful Counseling clinicians continue, as they always have, to hold space for you to navigate the journey of finding and acquainting yourself with your Wise Mind. We have a few clinicians with immediate availability Simply Mindful Counseling offers mental health services throughout the lifespan, serving children as young as 5 and adults well into their senior years with individual, family, couple, and group therapy.
- Carson Boron | Simply Mindful Counseling
Therapeutic MassageCarson Boron Carson Boron She/Her LMT Holistic Massage Therapist Offers in person sessions in Plymouth, MI. Request an Appointment Populations Served Adults Specialty Areas Therapeutic Massage Therapeutic Biography My journey to Massage Therapy is a testament to my unwavering curiosity and deep-rooted passion for bodywork. As a perpetual student and teacher of yoga for the past decade, the mind-body connection has been a constant source of fascination and inspiration for me. This continuous learning and growth have allowed me to witness and experience the profound power of bringing awareness into the body and the immense relief that can be found through physical release. I’ve always been interested in learning how we interact and connect with ourselves and the world. Studying communication in my undergraduate program had me contemplating our inner dialogue, the stories we write and create, and how our beliefs influence our actions. That, coupled with my studies and practice in yoga, has allowed me to dive even deeper into this curiosity, guiding me to learn as much as I could about the mind-body connection, specifically how we can heal and overcome trauma by sharpening our awareness of what’s happening within. This path eventually led me to massage therapy. When I started practicing as a licensed massage therapist, I had finally found a crucial missing puzzle piece. Massage therapy truly is a practice that helps bring awareness into the body. It can be as simple as becoming aware of a specific area of tension that you had otherwise been unaware of, or it can be as profound as experiencing a spontaneous emotional release to an experience the body had unknowingly held on to. Massage therapy is a tool that helps reveal what needs to be felt, allowing us to feel it so, ultimately, we can heal it. My training encompasses various massage therapy techniques, including Relaxation (Swedish) Massage, Thai Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, and Myofascial Release Therapy. This diverse skill set allows me to tailor each session to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and practical healing experience. Relaxation (Swedish) Massage is a full-body therapeutic treatment used to relax muscles, release tension, and improve blood flow. Swedish massage has been shown to improve mental and physical health and reduce pain. Thai Massage is a traditional massage technique that combines deep tissue pressure, muscle and joint stretching, and gentle manipulation of the body. Research has shown Thai massage to be beneficial for pain relief and supportive for easing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Trigger Point Massage is used to target and release knots in the muscles. This generally results in an overall sensation of release and relaxation. Myofascial Release Massage is a technique that uses time rather than force. Myofascial is a network of tissue that spreads throughout your entire body; it connects your muscles, joints, bones, and organs. This therapeutic approach uses gentle and sustained holds that work to access, open, and release tension and trauma held in the body. I firmly believe in the innate ability of every individual to heal, overcome, and rewrite their stories. It is a profound honor for me to hold space and support those on their healing journey. As a massage therapist, I prioritize creating a nonjudgmental, nurturing space filled with compassion. This is a space where you can show up just as you are and where true healing can occur. I look forward to supporting your personal journey.

- Pregnancy and Postpartum Support | Simply Mindful Counseling
Integrative and holistic mental health care for new mothers in Michigan. Treatment for postpartum depression (PDD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA) in Plymouth, MI and Bloomfield Hills, MI. Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental Health The Baby Blues The majority of parents experience some form of the “baby blues.” This is a normal period of feeling sad, weepy, or moody triggered by hormonal changes when bringing a baby into the family. The “baby blues” typically subside within a few weeks. Postpartum Depression For some parents, these mood swings are more intense, persistent, and lasting longer. We call this postpartum depression (PPD) . PPD generally occurs within the first year of bringing a new child into the home but can occur anywhere from one to five years after the birth of a child. Symptoms of PPD can interfere with a parent’s ability to care for their child. Early therapeutic intervention can help decrease the impact of PPD on families. Symptoms of PPD include: feelings of guilt shame or hopelessness lack of interest in baby feelings of anger/irritability loss of interest in things you used to enjoy crying and sadness appetite and sleep disturbances possible thoughts of harming the baby or yourself 10% of new fathers develop PPD within the first year after the birth of their child. Postpartum Anxiety Postpartum Anxiety (PPA) is often under-reported and underdiagnosed, as even health practitioners can fail to recognize when normal "new mom worry" has become ongoing anxiety. PPA can look like: being very rigid about feeding/sleep schedules constantly feeling overwhelmed/like you can't cope feeling preoccupied & over-researching trouble sleeping scary and intrusive thoughts uncharacteristic rage a constant feeling of worry feeling like everything needs to be done "right" Postpartum depression and anxiety are treatable. If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms or something just doesn't feel right, request an appointment with one of our highly qualified providers.

Request an Appointment Populations Served Adults Couples Teens Specialty Areas Trauma Relationship Issues Neurodiverse Individuals Hoarding Anxiety Therapeutic Biography Therapy is more than conversation. It reveals patterns, themes, habits, emotions, and beliefs we carry from our experiences or trauma. Knowing and accepting ourselves is the first step to reduce internal and external conflicts. To reach the fullest potential of therapy–emotionally, physiologically, we need a therapist we connect to, can let our guard down with, and who helps us change our perceptions or responses. My clinical experience involves working with adults and adolescents with trauma, anxiety, and depression. A former book publisher/editor, I have written online courses on trauma. In addition, I have lived (family) experience with neurodivergence, complex trauma, PTSD, and chronic illness, which has given me a deep perspective. My approach is integrative, psychodynamic, and attachment-based. I am also influenced by ACT therapy and DBT, which helps us build a life worth living. Some areas I can assist with include trauma, anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, neurodivergence, and perfectionism. Whatever underlying issues you may face, we will explore your thoughts and feelings in a way that makes you feel heard, seen, valued, and understood.
