Located on Leonard Street NE in northeast Grand Rapids, the center offers in-person and virtual behavioral health services for children, teens, adults, couples, and families across northern Kent County. As part of Pine Rest network, the center can connect clients to a wide range of care options, including access to specialists and higher levels of treatment like inpatient or
partial hospitalization if needed.
The center supports clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and relationship or spiritual challenges. Therapists provide counseling for individuals, couples, families, and groups, along with psychiatric medication management. Services also include Christian counseling, premarital support, and care for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. When appropriate, clinicians coordinate with schools, pastors, and medical providers to support care across settings.
Clients are matched with therapists who specialize in their needs and collaborate to choose an approach that fits their goals. Available evidence-based therapies include
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), motivational interviewing (MI), psychodynamic therapy, supportive psychotherapy,
family therapy, and couples therapy. These approaches help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Pine Rest Christian Counseling Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
