ABOUT PEACE OF MIND THERAPY SERVICES, PLLC

Hello!  My name is Autumn Ward, founder of Peace of Mind Therapy Services, PLLC.   I am a licensed clinical social worker trained to provide guidance, support, and a vast array of therapeutic strategies to help people live their best lives. I provide online therapy as well as traditional in-person therapy at my office in Grand Blanc, Michigan.  My mission is to help provide your mind with balance, wisdom, and above all, PEACE.  

FROM THE BEGINNING

I graduated with my Master's degree in clinical social work in May 2011 and I have been providing therapy  ever since- it is my true calling in life.  From a young age, I found myself counseling my friends and family during hard times.  Not because I was some prodigy guru with all the answers, but because I was an amazing listener- I would truly listen without judgment or my own two cents.  I learned long ago that people really just need to be heard, validated, and understood.  I was able to provide them a safe space to let go of their burdens.  That is what I do to this day.  As a therapist, I strive to help people make new discoveries about themselves and identify what helps them overcome the obstacles they face.  You are the master of you and no one knows you better. My patients trust me to guide them on their journey to achieve the goals they set for themselves. As someone who understands the transformative power of therapy, I’m passionate about learning, listening, and bringing balance and wellness to the lives of my patients. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and all ages.  I especially enjoy working with empaths and/or highly sensitive individuals because I can truly relate!  If you or someone you love is going through a difficult time of depression, anxiety, or another mental health issue, please contact me to setup a consultation.
