Bridget Nash, MA LPC

My name is Bridget Nash, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated in 2019 with a Masters of Arts in Counseling and have had the privilege of starting my own private practice in West Michigan. I primarily work with teens and adults, many of whom are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, and trauma. I feel strongly that this age group is facing a unique set of challenges unlike those we’ve seen in previous generations. In the age of the internet, there is so much pressure to always be “on” and perform in a way that wins the approval of others. We often find ourselves trying to fit a mold that was never designed for us, with no idea of who we really are.

I also enjoy with couples headed toward the alter, or who have encountered some roadblocks after their “I do’s.” I’m passionate about helping people really understand themselves, their partner, and how they can build a close bond that stands the test of time.

I’m a counselor, but I’m also a real person, just like you! I have training in theories and techniques including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, as well as real-world experience in being human. I struggled alone with my own mental health until I was ready to share my story with someone else. Putting words to the pain can be terrifying, but also incredibly freeing!

My goal is to be the kind of counselor I wish I had in my teens and young adulthood. I want to encourage those who are struggling that it’s normal—you are not broken and definitely not alone. I want to educate people on how they can overcome their emotional obstacles with trauma-informed techniques, practical tools, and self-discovery. I’ll be your cheerleader, accountability partner, and coach—gently pushing you towards the progress you want to make.
