Our Story

Therapy that's personal,
not a platform.

Align Minds Counseling Group was founded in 2017 by Stephanie Smith with a clear purpose: to make high-quality mental health care accessible, personal, and truly effective for people across Michigan.

In a world of therapy apps and automated matching algorithms, Align Minds is something different. We're a real, independent practice — a team of licensed, experienced clinicians who genuinely care about the people they work with. You won't get a cookie-cutter experience here. You'll get a therapist who listens, who knows your name, and who tailors their approach to you.

From our first session to your last, we're committed to the kind of personalized service that's become rare in mental health care. We want every client to feel like the individual they are — not a slot in a schedule.

Founded in Michigan, 2017 — by Stephanie Smith, LPC
