TASHA TURNER-FREEMAN

MA, LPC, CCTP

Tasha is passionate about educating the community on the connection between mental and physical health. Professional passions often grow from personal experiences. Though she has had her share of adversity she considers her greatest gift to be sharing all that she’s learned about transforming hurt to growth; pain to healing; and victimization to advocacy. It is her goal to bring awareness and practical skills to non-clinical populations because it is her belief that while we cannot all be therapists; we can all be therapeutic.

Mary Jo Baweja

MA, LLP

Mary Jo graduated from Western Michigan University in 1987, after earning her Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. She began practicing as the staff Psychologist on the Behavioral Health Unit of a small hospital, while working in an outpatient clinical setting as well. She has over 15 years of experience working with individuals, adolescents, and families who suffer from a variety of mental illnesses. She uses a number of therapeutic modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems Theory. A holistic, strength based, person-centered approach guides her practice.

Mary Jo is passionate about helping others empower themselves to most effectively manage any life challenges they face.  Mary Jo works from the belief that clients are in charge of their counseling experience. They will learn the bounds of aspects of their life that they can control and what they cannot. Clients will understand that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which they will be expected to put in the effort for homework, be accountable, and present within the counseling alliance. Mary Jo’s goal as a counselor is to provide a safe environment where we can explore your primary interests, develop goals and determine strengths and assets as you move toward your aspirations.
