Mike Veldhuis is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works primarily with adults and values supporting clients from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. His ideal client is someone who senses that change is needed in their life but may feel uncertain about what that change looks like or how to begin. He finds meaning in helping individuals explore their lives with curiosity and clarity, develop insight into their challenges, and determine intentional next steps toward growth.
Mike has experience working with individuals facing a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, complex trauma, psychosis, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). He believes that meaningful and lasting change occurs through a combination of insight and action. Therapy begins with developing a deeper understanding of the desired change and identifying the internal and external barriers that make change difficult. From there, Mike collaborates with clients to build practical foundations, structures, and steps that support sustainable progress.
At the core of Mike’s work is a commitment to helping clients discover and live as their authentic selves. He strive to meet each person where they are, remaining flexible and responsive to individual needs while maintaining a strong therapeutic foundation rooted in trust and honesty. Clients can expect thoughtful, direct feedback, a strengths-based perspective, and compassionate support in identifying both personal resources and obstacles that may be standing in the way of their goals.
