Care from a provider who gets you.
Identity affirming, culturally responsive care.
Finding a qualified mental health provider can seem overwhelming, especially if you are part of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community and want to work with a therapist you can identify with.
Working with us you’ll be…
COMFORTABLE. You’ll feel more at ease working with a provider who understands where you’re coming from.
CONFIDENT. All our providers are licensed by the State of Michigan and use evidenced-based treatments proven to improve recovery outcomes.
CONNECTED. Our providers have access to a large network of colleagues and all levels of treatment due to Pine Rest’s position as the largest mental health organization in Michigan.
To schedule a new outpatient appointment, call 866.852.4001.
