The inherent dignity and worth of every individual are guiding principles in the advocacy and counseling support I’ve helped develop with people for over 25 years. Challenges we all encounter can overwhelm our regular functioning and cause pain that distracts and obscures access to genuine joy and plans we all have for our best selves and relationships. Using evidence-based practices and focusing on self-determination, I listen and assist individuals with stabilizing their day-to-day functioning so they can plan and get closer to where they want to be in life and their relationships. I began here in East Lansing at the Listening Ear as a Crisis and Sexual Assault Counselor while in graduate school, and still sincerely value active listening and problem-solving. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, certified Michigan teacher and academic consultant. I’ve primarily worked with adults and youth in both clinical, high school and post-secondary settings.
In a world that constantly pulls your attention in a thousand directions, it’s easy to feel like you’re drifting through college rather than actually living it. At Greater Presence Counseling, we believe true healing begins when you stop rushing past the present moment. Whether you’re navigating personal hurdles, managing academic burnout, or searching for a more meaningful way forward, our goal is to help you show up fully. We integrate clinical expertise with a focus on holistic health to help you shift from feeling overwhelmed to living with intention and clarity. As a former Director of Academic Advising, I bring a deep, practical understanding of the unique pressures you face into therapy. I know how interconnected academic and career goals, and personal well-being really are. Together, we’ll work on what it looks like to cultivate greater presence in every part of your life so you can achieve your goals without losing yourself in the process.
Hello, my name is Dr. Shanel Bishop and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Michigan. As you are the expert in your own life, my aim is to ride alongside you in this journey as we work together. I will assist you in overcoming the barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailored towards each person that I work with. I look forward to discovering--with you-- ways to enhance your life.
When it comes to therapy, I engage each person, focusing on their uniqueness and the reason they are seeking therapy. I applaud everyone that has made the decision to be proactive regarding their mental health and to put forth the effort to address circumstances, either past or present, that have caused disruptions and undesired outcomes in their lives. I would like to support you in any way I can to produce positive outcomes in the most ethical, professional, and compassion filled way possible. I have 13 years of social service experience, working with the homeless population, for Child Protective Services, with employment services for homeless veterans, managing transitional housing facilities, and working inpatient psychiatric patient care in the state of Michigan in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county. My career experience also includes military, as I have served active duty in the United States Marines and volunteered to deploy to Iraq (bordering Syria) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Depression, anxiety, and trauma can show up in ways that feel overwhelming or hard to untangle—especially during periods of major life change. I’m Vivian, and I focus on providing a steady, reliable space for you to slow down and reflect. My approach centers on creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable being completely open about your experiences, helping you make sense of what you’ve been carrying while moving toward something more manageable. I’ve always believed that even in the middle of a difficult season, there is a path toward clarity if we are willing to look for it together. As a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) with a background in both clinical training and behavioral health, I bring a practical and observant approach to the healing process. My experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has taught me the value of focusing on progress over perfection—celebrating small wins while making plenty of room for the real-life challenges that come with growth. I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples and groups, which has given me a broad understanding of how we relate to one another and ourselves. Whether we meet in person or virtually, my goal is to help you build the practical coping strategies and emotional insight you need to navigate life with more balance. I often think of my role as providing an objective mirror when things feel cloudy, helping you find your own internal compass. I am dedicated to being a consistent presence in your corner, offering the tools and encouragement needed to help you move from a place of surviving to a place of true confidence and calm.
I specialize in working with students in college, educators, people in helping professionals, and young parents. My clients desire someone who can support them in their goals, who listens well, and sees them through a holistic perspective. My clients understand that healing is a process and desire to live a wholehearted life but often feel stuck or find them repeating patterns they can't break. Often people that contact me are in need of support, skills, and a space to navigate the stress and unexpected things that inevitably come in life and partnership. I have been a school social worker for many years, so I bring my experience to help you navigate your life and professional transitions. I approach clients with a person-centered, strength-based, holistic approach. I can help facilitate communication with your partner and help you increase your insight and understanding of yourself. I offer a non-judgmental space with the goal of empowering my clients to guide themselves to health and wholeness. When you are ready and willing, I would be honored to walk this part of your life with you. You can contact me through my website (theflourshingco.org/contact-us) or give my office a call. I look forward to our work together.
My goal is to create a place for you to be open and honest without judgment. This is critical as counseling is a personal journey. I understand fully the pressures/struggles that life places in our paths. I actively listen to what you want to achieve and work diligently alongside you toward making that a reality.
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to balance school, work, relationships, family expectations, or figuring out what is next. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what's on your mind. Together, we'll work on understanding what you are going through, managing stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions, and building practical skills to help you feel more confident and grounded. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, identity, and major life changes like college, starting a career, or simply learning how to navigate adulthood. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or coming back after a break, my goal is to make the experience feel welcoming, collaborative, and helpful. I currently offer virtual therapy sessions for Michigan residents.

My goal for counseling is to provide an open and accepting environment for everyone. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and it's important to feel connected to whoever you work with. I hope that my practice provides that for you.
I specialize in working with women struggling with anxiety, depression, struggles with self-esteem and setting boundaries. I have also done extensive work around surviving narcissistically abusive relationships and antagonistic relational stress; I am certified in this area as a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC). I have been told I have an authentic, genuine style. I also enjoy using humor. Also love Brainspotting for trauma. I have years of experience providing therapeutic services in a variety of modalities (community based, outpatient, intensive outpatient, group, biofeedback and neurofeedback). I am non-judgmental and open-minded, and provide a safe space for my clients to do hard work. I'd love to help. I'd love to work with you and walk with you through the good times and the bad. You deserve to create a life that you enjoy and to feel proud of the goals that you have achieved!
Life presents challenges to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. You often have no control of the challenges that come your way. Your only control is your response, which creates your experience. As a solutions-focused therapist, I collaborate with you to understand the power of your thoughts, and remind you that you have it within yourself to take back control of your emotional health. You are your own expert, and you have an inner vision of what you want to see happen in your life. I will strive to help you develop coping skills, awaken your resiliency and help you to change the long-standing negative perceptions and behavior patterns that prevent you from achieving your inner vision and enjoying your life.
As a therapist, my primary focus is on creating a safe and collaborative environment where your voice is central to the process. I understand that each client comes with unique challenges, and I am here to walk alongside you as we explore and work through them together.

Hi, my name is Karla Gossens. I’m a therapist who understands that starting therapy can hard. I've worked with individuals for many years to explore the possibilities of change in a safe and open environment. From anxiety and depression to complex trauma, I'm happy to work with you to better understand what is going on and how to get back to your most natural self. Through the years, I've had experience working with many young adults and college students. I specialize in complex trauma and adult attachment, but also offer therapy for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, general stress, life transitions, and religious wounds. I understand that starting counseling can be an awkward and anxious thing, which is why I focus on a low pressure introduction and virtual therapy that allows you to stay in the environment that is most comfortable to you. Please feel free to reach out to me, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Note: My income based sliding scale fee ranges from $60-$150 for on going sessions. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
School can be exciting, overwhelming, and full of change. For many students, being in a campus environment can also bring increased body image pressures, stress, and challenges with eating, making this a time when eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and other mental health concerns often show up or become more intense. I've spent years specializing in eating disorders and OCD across higher levels of care and outpatient private practice, giving me the experience to support you wherever you are in your recovery. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you can build practical tools, feel more like yourself, and spend less time stuck in symptoms and more time living the life you want.
