"Empowering Your Mental Health Journey With Integrated Care"

Joleen Beagle, LMSW | Therapist in Grand Bland & Clarkston, MI

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology/Sociology from Central Michigan University and obtained a Master of Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University. For over 29 years, I have worked in the Human Services field in various settings, with a majority in Child Welfare and Mental Health. 

My therapeutic approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and humanistic, utilizing a range of tools and skills drawn from Holistic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I specialize in trauma work, be it single-incident trauma, chronic ongoing traumatic events, or complex childhood trauma. 

I understand that processing trauma cannot be achieved through talking or thinking alone, but must include the body. Therefore, I emphasize self-awareness and mindfulness, and believe that an authentic and collaborative relationship with my clients is crucial to achieving their goals.

 "The Body Keeps the Score"

Client Reviews and Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I highly encourage anyone who has experienced any kind of traumatic event to see Jolene for Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). She quickly made me feel comfortable. She is trained in A.R.T., and I cannot thank her enough. It changed my life. (No exaggeration). I can’t even explain it. Our brains hold a lot that we just really don’t understand, but I am here to say that it works. You don’t need to hold on to it. Life is WAY too short, and it’s time we all live our best lives. If you are hesitating… MAKE THE CALL…. You won’t regret it."

"Phenomenal, next-level therapy! I experienced much Kindness and patience. If you are suffering from anger, confusion, or intense sadness, the A.R.T. therapy provides Immediate Relief. Thank you, Joleen Beagle!🌹"

"Our grandson has been visiting one of the wonderful counselors at GCS for the last three months, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s heartwarming to see his smile coming back, and he’s enjoying more happy days. Plus, he’s doing a great job managing his emotions. We’re so thankful our daughter discovered GCS for him!"
