Located in the city of Walker, just off 3 Mile Road NW, the clinic serves individuals and families across northwest Grand Rapids. They provide both in-person and virtual care for children, adolescents, adults, and couples seeking support for concerns like anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, grief, relationship concern, and workplace stress. The clinic also supports individuals through pregnancy and postpartum with care focused on perinatal mood and anxiety concerns.
Clients meet with licensed clinicians for individual, family, or couples therapy, as well as psychiatric care. Therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s goals, including
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), motivational interviewing (MI), and psychodynamic therapy. The clinic offers dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT) as an intensive
outpatient program (
IOP) for those managing ongoing suicidal thoughts or patterns of self-harming behavior.
The clinic features a dedicated play therapy room where children can safely express emotions through art, puppets, costumes, and sand tray activities. These tools help children process feelings in a way that feels natural and engaging. Clients also have access to Pine Rest’s broader network for specialized psychiatric services. When needed, the clinic coordinates with schools, clergy, and medical providers to support care across settings.
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 Northwest Clinic provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
