About Provider

About Kerri

I’m Kerri Kenel, a Licensed Master Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, chronic pain, and life transitions. With a compassionate and down-to-earth approach, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered to heal.


I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family and couples therapy, and parenting support, all tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.


I know seeking therapy takes courage, and I honor that step with warmth, humor, and empathy. My goal is to help clients feel safe, respected, and truly heard. If you’re considering therapy for support, healing, or growth, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Get to know Kerri

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?


When I was in high school I experienced a pretty significant depressive episode, I saw a therapist, a Social Worker, who gave me a safe place to explore my thoughts and feelings. I decided then that I wanted to do that for others when I grew up.

What types of clients do you work with best?

Clients who are wanting support and a safe place to explore their thoughts and feelings. Clients who want to grow and learn make changes or progress further in their life journey.

What type of clients are you most excited to work with?

I feel passionate about advocacy. Working with women, with LGBTQ+ and POC.
