Meet Kelli Postema LMSW-C Founder and CEO of Hope & Healing Counseling

Kelli Postema is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW-C) with a Master of Social Work degree from Western Michigan University.

Her career began in community mental health and public housing, but her passion for working with incarcerated individuals led her to roles in a county jail and with the Michigan Department of Corrections, where she worked in outpatient mental health and was part of the wellness team that provided mental health support to correctional employees and their families.

Currently, Kelli focuses on treating individuals with a history of trauma, anxiety, and depression. She creates a warm and supportive environment at Hope & Healing Counseling in Hudsonville, MI.

Outside of work, Kelli enjoys family time and cherishes her beloved Border Collie, Walter, who is in training to become an office therapy dog. Kelli believes in the power of community and is excited to walk alongside you on your path to wellness.

Trauma Recovery Starts Here

Trauma is a widespread and costly public health issue, resulting from physically or emotionally harmful experiences. It affects not only individuals and families but also entire communities. While some people manage to move forward without significant disruption, others are deeply impacted by their experiences.

Emerging research has shown the profound effects of trauma on our health. Exposure to traumatic events can impair neurodevelopment and immune system responses, leading to a range of healthcare concerns. At Hope & Healing Counseling, we recognize the pervasive impact of trauma and are dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to help you heal and rebuild your life. Our trauma recovery services are designed to support you on your journey to wellness, addressing both the emotional and physical effects of trauma.
