Counseling
For my Michigan community we have a new board member. Mrs Jordie Smith is a licensed Therapist who has come on board to help with our journey. She is willing to help women, men and families with counseling on parenting, struggles with family building and conceiving, premarital and marriage counseling, and postpartum support, She also helps with family issues after having a child like filial therapy, child development, and parenting classes. We will have space available in Canton, MI for support groups, and brother & sister circle. If this is something you could be interested in please send a message in the contact section or give us a call.
