Annelise Nearson, MA, LPC
Counseling Philosophy: Going to counseling can be unfamiliar at first, but I strive to create a safe space that allows clients to progress at their own pace. In counseling, the goal is to help individuals process life events, develop coping skills, and enhance self-awareness. Self-awareness allows greater understanding and better coping with life’s journey. In counseling, I empathize with my clients’ needs, situations, and support their well-being. No one has to go through this journey alone. I am here to advocate and assist in empowering your voice.
Counseling Orientation: I use an integrated approach catered to the individualized needs of my clients. The main modalities of therapy I use are art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and person-centered theories to help support my clients' mental health while providing a safe space.
Art therapy is a unique approach that can assist all populations—no, you do not have to be an artist to do art therapy, it is all about the process! Art therapy assists in deepening self-awareness, improving self-esteem, empowerment, building resiliency, problem-solving and conflict resolution, emotional processing, and enhancing social skills. As a registered art therapist, I guide clients through their creative process using psychological theories to assist in helping solve thoughts and emotions. Art therapy combines cognitive and sensorimotor components to assist in improving overall well-being.
Area of Specialty: I have experience working with ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, depression, emotional regulation and Identification, family issues, grief and loss, LGBTQ+, parenting, and school issues.
Qualifications: I received my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Wayne State University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Art Therapist.

Jessica Briggs, MA, LLC
I believe counseling is a collaborative experience with the client and counselor. It could be a short-term service while needing temporary support through a life transition, or an ongoing journey to help aid and improve the client's overall mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. I adapt my counseling approach based upon the client's needs.
In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and judgement free environment. I provide active listening, support, and practical tools to help you navigate difficulties and achieve your treatment goals. Together we will work towards greater self-awareness, improve coping strategies, and build lasting positive change.
I completed my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Wayne State University in April 2024. Prior to pursuing counseling, I earned my bachelor’s degree in social work from Eastern Michigan University in 2013. For the last several years I worked in medical case management with individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain or spinal cord injury.
Office Location: Jessica holds in-person appointments out of our Commerce Township office as well as telehealth appointments.
