About Julie Nyenbrink, LLMSW

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here! I have always had a desire to serve others and to walk alongside them in their highs and lows. I’m here to celebrate the good things, sit with you in the dark times, and meet you wherever you’re at that day. My therapeutic style is warm and sincere, but I will also encourage you to achieve your goals. I am passionate about serving others in a holistic and healing environment. Additionally, I enjoy using humor as I find laughter to be one of the best types of medicine! I specialize in working with children/teens both alone and/or alongside their parents, older adults navigating the issues that come with aging, caretakers, young parents, or anyone who just needs a safe space to talk. I am accepting clients of all ages at this time!

I am confident that I can help you, your child, or your loved one work towards their goals. My view is that mental health is just as important as physical health, so I will take your concerns seriously, and with empathy.

Julie's Background

I am from Hudsonville, Michigan and I attended Grand Valley State University for both my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work (Minoring in Psychology, with a Child Welfare Certificate) and Master’s Degree in Social Work. I have experience working in the child welfare system (both CPS & Foster Care), individual and group therapy, and clinical social work in a psychiatric hospital working with the older adult population. I have experience working with individuals of all ages dealing with a variety of needs (trauma, mental illness, major neurocognitive disorders, comorbidity, navigating child welfare, grief & loss, postpartum, chronic illness, substance use, spirituality, etc.). I utilize CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy), Strength-Based Practices, Mindfulness, and Play therapy techniques in my therapy sessions.

I currently live in Zeeland, Michigan with my husband Dylan, our 1 year old Magnolia, and our 3 dogs (Nala, Hattie, & Gus). I enjoy camping in Silver Lake every summer, exercising at OrangeTheory Fitness, and petting as many animals as possible! We attend church and are very active in serving there. 

I look forward to working with you as you navigate your journey towards healing!

My youngest son saw a therapist here and she was wonderful with him. My husband and I also have seen 2 therapist here and both helped us tremendously. We learned helpful tools to apply in real life situations in our marriage and individually. I would recommend this place to anyone 💚

I had been searching for a counselor when Hope & Wholeness had been mentioned as a possible fit. They were so right. Dr. Duckworth was amazing. He took the time to explore who i was, what was important to me, and what I needed. He helped me address many things from my past and take on things as they came. When our schedules conflicted I was able to meet with someone else and continue to get the help and support I needed. Cannot say enough good things about the staff.

Dr Duckworth is a compassionate and caring therapist. My work with him helped me through several major transitions in life, and I would recommend him and the Hope & Wholeness practice to anyone who asks, I have done so to many acquaintances.

I have had nothing but good experiences working with Hope & Wholeness! Easy on boarding and flexibility for in person or telehealth visits! Emily is phenomenal! And my kids see Kelley and Michelle and both love them! This facility has been influential in supporting our family's mental health.
