My area of expertise is helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues. I have a special interest in trauma and how it affects your self-perception, your marriage and even the way you interact with co-workers, peers or your own children.

Our office has a warm and friendly atmosphere to help you feel relaxed and comfortable. The therapy rooms are designed to feel like your living room. My goal is that you will feel safe, valued, and heard in my presence while I cultivate a relaxing environment for that to happen.  (Lowell)

Counseling is a unique experience for each person. Finding someone who makes you feel comfortable and listened too is one of the most important pieces of your journey. My goal is to build a trusting relationship while helping you work through any barriers that you may be facing.

My desire is that you will feel safe and valued. Together we can navigate life’s stressors and help you reshape your future.

I have worked in the mental health field for the past 21 years with adults and children. For the past 5 years, I have been blessed to be able to walk alongside many people in a variety of settings.

I believe that each person, each couple, and each family has a unique and meaningful story to tell. I enjoy walking with my clients as we build a genuine relationship and I learn about your dreams, passions, desires, and challenges. I believe in building on strengths; acknowledging and doing more of what we do well builds confidence to navigate life’s challenges. I look forward to learning how I can be of service to you, whether it’s easing stress, improving communication, getting your marriage back on track, addressing trauma, or helping you develop healthy thinking patterns. I have a passion for helping people create the lives they long to live through improving relationships (including the one you have with yourself). I have lived with depression, experienced loss and domestic abuse, and therefore understand how trauma impacts our perspectives, our self-esteem, and our relationships. We can change the narrative of our story and build a support system and . I love working with couples and families and believe that we are shaped by our interactions, learning about ourselves through our relationships. I have worked with children, teens, and adults of all ages and celebrate diversity. Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your life and your relationships! I can’t wait to get to know you. (Grand Rapids, Lowell)

 

Travis Gordon, Ma, LLPC.

My hope is to empower and support individuals that want to reach their goals and shape their life in a way that gives them hope and growth. I've worked with anxiety, heartbreak, depression, relationships, career struggles, confidence, grief, shifting interpersonal dynamics, and other significant life transitions. It is my goal to be a listening ear that will both empathize with the unique struggles that someone is facing, as well as help them cultivate the bravery and tools to move forward. I seek to offer a welcoming and casual environment that generates peace even in the midst of the most stressful and challenging situations. I believe that real change and healing can only happen through an honest and transparent relationship. My goal will always be to meet people in some of the hardest places of their lives, walk through that tough space with them in a nonjudgmental and personalized manner, and cheer them on as they make practical and effective adjustments for the goals they set. (Grand Rapids, Grandville, Greenville, and Lowell).

The decision to work with a mental health professional can seem overwhelming. My purpose as a psychologist is to help you feel as comfortable and safe as possible so that you are empowered to initiate the changes you want for your life. In a collaborative environment, I strive to help you navigate hurts of the past, deal with stressors of the present, and outline your future goals. Whether you are dealing with addiction, trauma, feelings of hopelessness, racing thoughts, social fears, difficulty concentrating, relationship issues, or other concerns, I provide a trusting relationship in a judgment-free atmosphere that can help you achieve wellness. 

I have experience working with individuals of all ages, families, and couples in a therapeutic setting. Aside from therapy, I also specialize in providing psychological assessments to help provide you and/or your family with a more concise picture of what is contributing to various difficulties in your life. Psychological testing is valuable in lending meaningful insight into possible effective interventions. If you are concerned that you or your child may have a barrier that is contributing to academic, social, or occupational difficulties, I can help!

I enjoy learning each client’s story and meeting them where they are in life. We can find ourselves in dire straits and hardships either from poor choices, unhealthy relationships, or from other external circumstances. It is understandable that setbacks, grief, toxic people, and other various trials can easily trip up people be leading them into depression, anxiety, including a variety of other unhealthy mindsets and habits. I know that during these times, it is crucial to have someone to meet with that will not cast judgement, but will listen, accept, uplift, and encourage during this chapter in life. Personally, I have learned who have been helpful during these times, as well as those who are not helpful. As your therapist, I will come along side of you and will walk with you through your journey, as well as helping you with any goals you may have. (Grand Rapids, Grandville and Lowell)

Making the call to begin counseling is a huge first step and is a testament to a person's strength and resilience. My aim as a counselor is to highlight and then build upon an individual's strengths to help them meet their goals. It is my hope that, by working together as a team, each person will learn the skills to manage their current life stressors. These skills can then be utilized to manage future stressors, even long after our work together is finished. Throughout my time as a counselor, I have had the sincere pleasure of working with individuals from many walks of life looking to manage various challenges. Some of these challenges include depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and chronic illness. I look forward to making new connections and assisting individuals to manage the stressors of life.  (Grandville)

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and the thought of seeking counseling can be daunting.  Taking that first step can be hard but the results of taking that step could make life that much easier for you.  As your counselor I will take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are on your journey and walk alongside you.  Together we will figure out how you can become the best you. 

I specialize in trauma but I also have experience helping individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues.  My goal is to make you feel valued, safe and heard while cultivating a relationship of trust and mutual understanding that is free of judgment. 

I believe each person's life and circumstance is unique and should be treated as such.  With that in mind, I will focus on you, not try to fit you into someone else’s mold. We all have the ability to change and as your counselor, I will help you see that ability more clearly.  It would be an honor to guide you as you learn how to lead a happier and more fulfilling life.

I think one of the strongest things any person can do is admit that they need a little help. For me, I believe therapy can be a learning experience, a place of trust, and most importantly, somewhere we can seek healing.

My goal is to help each person to feel listened to, valued, encouraged, and motivated. Therapy to me is a vulnerable place where we can explore hurt, tough emotions, and difficult decisions- all while growing and learning. I firmly believe that each person has the power to change and grow; my job is to help teach some tools and help someone practice new behaviors that will help uncover that potential within them. Together, I want to help each person accomplish the goals they want to accomplish, as well as openly discuss whatever is most important to their life.

I specialize in clients seeking help for: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, faith, relationship trouble, and family issues. (Grand Rapids, Greenville)
