welcome to our inventive
approach to mental health

We work across the state of Michigan 


Every week, we facilitate therapeutic sessions using interactive tools designed to enhance the mental health of our clients. By using a variety of tools, including projects, games & musical activities, in conjunction with our specific expertise as social workers, we are able to create unique therapeutic environments in each session. We aim to improve our client's mental health by:  



decreasing stress
coping with the progression of their illnesses
challenging negative emotions
improving cognitive skills
decreasing isolation
decreasing frustration
improving symptoms of their illness
providing mental health education


Client engagement leads to positive outcomes and success.

At times, we hear family members or clients themselves say, "I don't think I will like this, or be good at this, or even do anything." By meeting group members where they are and remaining focused on their individual strengths, we are able to reach the positive outcomes listed above. 

Community +
Interactive Tools = Results. 

Our Bay City and Livonia office locations do something a little different than the rest; they invite community members to our space for sessions! These special sessions involve engaging activities for the first 2/3 of the meeting, and a client favorite, BINGO for the last 1/3, where we focus on motivation, memory-recall & cognitive skills. The group members have been gaining new coping skills, expanding their mental health knowledge & gaining new friendships along the way.
