Kayleen DePue —Professional Counselor—Grand Rapids, MI

Professional Background

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a professional certification in Alcohol and Drug counseling. Over the past 25+ years, I have provided outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential & outpatient case management and counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and group facilitation. Based on individual needs and goals (s) in therapy a variety of counseling models, techniques and strategies may be utilized, including brief interventions, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, Gestalt interventions, strength-based interventions, and social learning theory. Whether the past is getting in the way of the present, or the future is foggy, the present has the stress and challenges of looking for a resolution to change perception at the moment. The idea of seeking a helping professional may be uncomfortable and scary; the healing process can often be emotionally painful. A healthy connection with a therapist, in a supportive environment, is important to realize your personal strengths and promote growth to resolve feelings and challenges that may keep you from being your best you.
