Community Liaisons, Janae Lindeman and Lindsay Mohr, had a great time at the Advocates for Senior Issues meeting yesterday! As always, it's wonderful hearing about all of the great things fellow organizations are doing for seniors in West Michigan!

How cool is this?! Being a caregiver is often a very rewarding experience, however is often exhausting and can be filled with self-doubt. Sometimes we all need a little "pep talk." 🤗

We are blessed with a wonderful therapy team, and one of our most valuable members, is Brooke Andrusiak, LLMSW!

Brooke is a Clinical Social Worker in the Integrated Wellness Center, and when asked why she loves what she does, she said, "I truly love making connections with people and hearing their stories, I value being a safe space for my clients to share things that they may have never shared before. I enjoy walking clients through their therapy journeys and witnessing the growth within them."

Thanks for all that you do, Brooke!

We love this!

Meet Haley! Haley Waterman, is one of our therapists, and we are so grateful for all that she does! When asked what her treatment philosophy is, she said,
"I consider it an honor and privilege to serve the community as a Clinical Therapist at the Reliance Integrated Wellness Center. I am passionate about the collaborative relationship between client and therapist built on trust, empathy and non-judgmental support. I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy, considering the client’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. I recognize the prevalence and impact of trauma on individual’s lives and aim to create a safe and supportive environment to promote healing. I utilize an individualized and eclectic approach to therapy, drawing on evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy and mindfulness practices."
