JD's Midlife Tools For Living Practices, LLC
Challenges and opportunities await us around every corner as we journey past our youth and grow into what lies ahead. Often, we can’t see the road or know what next step to take and it can be difficult and hard to navigate our way along that road called life…especially with the chaos and uncertainty in today’s world!
JD’s Midlife Tools For Living Practices, LLC located in Holland, Michigan provides therapy/counseling services offering heartfelt care, compassion and coping tools. We greet you where you are at, walk alongside you as you journey through your life, and help you gain useful coping tools to navigate your way.
It is important for us to create space for you to feel comfortable and be open. We want you to reach your goals, feel our support and compassion, know you are safe and can feel at home.
Therapy/counseling is a challenging, yet warm process that entails self-reflection and honest conversation. It can be hard work and takes courage to begin. Therapy is an art as much as it is a science, one that is meant to honor your unique life journey and specific goals.
It takes patience and compassion with yourself to find a stillness inside to hear, honor and follow your hearts plan and to connect with your strengths and resilience. Remember you would not be who you are now without all of the forks and turns in your life’s journey right up to this very moment in time! The good, the bad and the ugly!
My approach to therapy is simple and relaxed. I listen well, am non-judgmental and accepting and have a sense of humor too. We will go at your pace. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood and respected, to feel cared about.
May you be balanced and at peace as you take the next steps on the road of your life’s journey! I’d be honored to work with you as your therapist. Let’s take those next steps together!
JD’s welcomes people from all walks of life and backgrounds, religious preferences, cultures, sexual preferences… we welcome and respect people for who they are!
Offering tele-therapy services and in-person therapy sessions. Accepting new clients!

I found this years ago and have proudly displayed it in my office!
It was written by a middle aged Scandinavian.
May the light
Always find you
On a dreary day.
When you need to be home,
May you find your way.
May you always have courage,
To take a chance,
And never find frogs
In your underpants.
