Why is this page important?

We, at Koinonia Counseling Center, PLLC. believe that we should co-exist together in a community. We cannot and should not make it through life alone. It is our belief that we need to support our local services, so that we can better support our clients. Each program on this page will have an (*) near the community resources that we have visited first hand to gather information and garner trust with our community partners. Together, we can learn to extend grace and reduce the stigma of mental health.

What makes Koinonia Counseling Center different?

What makes Koinonia Counseling Center different is even though we are not social workers, we seek to join the community by helping to connect our clients with community resources. Through potential grants, we hope to work through Calvary Reformed Church in Wyoming, MI to connect our clients with community resources. If you do not see a resource listed below, we have a book full of community resources.
