“Jeremy’s work is compassionate, caring and thoughtful. He has a great ability to make his clients feel comfortable and heard. I would highly reccomend him as a mental health provider and know that he genuinely cares about helping others and his community at large.”
Jeremy Houtsma, LMHC, Counselor
My goal is to help you feel empowered and equipped to manage and overcome the overwhelming emotions that you may be experiencing. In both my young adult and teen therapy sessions, my clients and I explore thoughts, feelings, and actions in a safe, non-judgmental, environment.
I have been working with both teens and adults in counseling for over 12 years, equipping them with the skills to manage difficult feelings. Many have told me that I was one of the only therapists that they have felt comfortable talking too. My dog also helps make each therapy session warm and comfortable as well!
