Meet our newest clinician Krista Cain!

Krista’s primary focus is on grief and trauma with additional special interests in working with children (ages 4+) and adults on the Autism and ADHD spectrums.

In her work, Krista partners with clients to co-create sessions that blend talk and movement modalities, soulfulness with play. Along the way, Krista helps clients (re)discover how to tap into their inner wells of courage, curiosity, confidence, and joy.

Clients who find Krista to be a great fit enjoy having psychoeducation incorporated into their sessions. They appreciate being met with deep listening followed by skillful reflection. And they appreciate the kind of support that helps them identify and capitalize on their strengths, develop new skills, and track their progress. These clients also love knowing that even if they come in with “no idea where to begin”, Krista will help them find their way.

To schedule a session with Krista, call 231-714-0282 or email [email protected]

UPDATE AND ACTION STEPS: BCBSM POLICY CHANGE
You told us you want to push back. Here is your chance.

Recap of the Issue:
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) recently announced that beginning March 1, 2027, services provided by behavioral health students and certain licensed behavioral health professionals completing required post-graduate supervision hours will no longer be eligible for reimbursement through incident-to billing in professional office settings.

Behavioral health providers, educators, students, and consumers have raised concerns that this policy may reduce access to care, disrupt established treatment relationships, and weaken Michigan's behavioral health workforce pipeline at a time when provider shortages remain a significant challenge.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

What vulnerability is not, is weakness. It is courageous.

It can be very hard to be vulnerable. Being vulnerable means allowing yourself to be seen as you are, without pretending or protecting yourself from being emotionally exposed. Examples of this might be: speaking your truth, telling someone how you feel, admitting that you are wrong or uncertain, ask...
