finding the right therapist that works best for you can be challenging and sometimes may involve trial and error. So other than Googling phrasing like therapist near me, best therapist near me, or experienced marriage counselor how do people find high caliber marriage and couples therapist? Here are common ways people find therapists and resources to explore to help you find the best fit.
You want to make sure that you are working with a mental health professional that is licensed in Michigan and is in good standing with the state. LARA is a resource in Michigan where you can look up professional licenses and see if anyone has had complaints or their license is up to date.

Paul Hoskins provides online couples counseling in Kalamazoo, MI from his home office in Kalamazoo. The bulk of Paul’s caseload are from clients in the West Michigan Area places like: Kalamazoo, Portage, Vicksburg, Texas Township, Paw Paw, Battle Creek, St Joe’s, Plainwell, Allegan, Grand Rapids, East Grand Rapids, Holland.
One of things that I love about online therapy is that I have the possibility of helping people throughout the state of Michigan. Geography doesn’t have to be a barrier to finding the right therapist. So now if someone from Detroit wants couples counseling with me through the secure online platform I can work with people throughout the state. Now someone from a city like Lansing or Ann Arbor don’t have to limit their search for therapist from just their town they can draw from a much larger pool of therapist which I think gives them a better chance at finding the right fit. Another advantage to online therapy is that if you are in a town up north like Traverse City where you get a lot of snow in the winter time, we don’t have to cancel our appointment because the roads are icy or snow covered. Many places around large cities like Troy MI or Gross Pointe, MI can have lots of traffic making a 75 minute counseling session take up two hours of your day when you include transportation time. Online therapy eliminates that commute.
There are many therapists in places like Detroit and Grand Rapids but when you look at less populated cities like someone searching for couples therapy in Midland, MI your going to have less providers to choose from compared to larger cities. This is where online counseling is really valuable as it gives people in less populated areas more choice and options of providers to improve the chances that they will find a good fit for them. I love the opportunity to support anyone living in the state I love which includes people living in Michigan’s upper Peninsula in towns like Escanaba and Houghton. I think online counseling helps gives people from all over the state of Michigan greater access to qualified providers.
