Some of my background...

After raising a blended family, I decided to go back to school and change careers. Therapy lets me combine two of my lifelong passions: helping others succeed and horses. I now divide my time fairly evenly between working with horses and providing therapy.

I graduated from Oakland University in 2021 with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I worked with a non-profit group for a year before starting my practice in 2022.

I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

As a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and

individuals, I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating cancer and chronic illness, those grieving as well as their caregivers and professional helpers who struggle with the emotional and physical toll of ongoing medical challenges.

Connecting with clients is a privilege and a joy that never gets old. My sessions are tailored to help you, the client, reach your goals. I am person centered and utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic techniques including EMDR, IFS, ACT, and CBT. I have been practicing therapy for over 10 years and I have worked with a variety of ages and life stages.

Real change requires more than just talking, it requires intention, insight, and the right support. With over 40 years of experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and clinical leader, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, families, and adolescents navigate life’s most complex challenges, including trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and family conflict. My approach is compassionate, structured, and results-driven, grounded in evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Clients often experience me as warm, grounded, and direct, someone who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space while also helping them identify patterns, build insight, and take meaningful steps forward. I don’t believe in surface-level conversations; I believe therapy should lead to real, lasting progress. I am fully invested in your growth, meeting you where you are while also gently challenging you toward greater clarity, confidence, and empowerment. If you are ready to do the work, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I'm Joellen Rhyndress, LCSW, and I specialize in working with veterans, first responders, and executives — and I genuinely love this work. I'm trained in EMDR and have spent years as a trauma expert, particularly around critical incidents and life-disrupting events. I've worked with over 250 clients and I understand your world, your culture, and what it takes to finally ask for help.

Hi, I'm Kelley Kramer, a licensed professional counselor serving adults in Texas, Ohio, and Michigan. I help people work through anxiety, life transitions, relationship struggles, chronic stress, and mind-body symptoms using Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, CBT, and somatic approaches. My style is warm, collaborative, and curious, helping clients better understand the patterns that keep them stuck and reconnect with their strengths. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that thoughtfully integrates faith into the therapeutic process.

With a comprehensive background spanning child and adult inpatient and outpatient settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise into practice. Committed to providing holistic and compassionate care. I combine psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy to address the unique needs of each patient.
