About me

I am Kamara Lynn Marsh MA LPC, ADS, a Licensed Professional Counselor and past Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor as well as received my certification in Auricular Acupuncture. I received my Master’s degree in counseling with an emphasis in treatment of addictions from Spring Arbor University in Spring Arbor, Michigan. I completed my counseling internship at Hope Network Rehabilitation Services in East Lansing Michigan where I worked with individuals with traumatic brain injuries and received training in dealing with post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, depression, anxiety/panic, addictions, and re-entry/life change difficulties. I spent a decade facilitating substance abuse re-entry groups at three county jails and six years working for a district health department where I received training and experience in a variety of holistic approaches in the treatment of both mental health and substance abuse disorders. Over the past two decades, I have utilized a variety of clinical interventions including but not limited to: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Interventions, Art Therapy, Mindfulness, Auricular Acupuncture and Emotional Freedom Techniques. In 2007, I published a book I wrote and illustrated on overcoming loss in life. I ran my own private practice in East Lansing, Michigan for almost four years before relocating to Northern Michigan to direct a residential substance abuse facility.

I love helping those who may be feeling "stuck" in life move past their challenges and reach their life goals.

Kamara has been my therapist for a bit over a year and the positive impact it had on me and my outlook on life is incredible. It was my first time going into therapy and I wasn't sure what to expect, but Kamara made it very easy to start and open up. She is very kind and patient and provides a comfortable, safe environment to speak. I never felt judged by her or like I needed to be ashamed of the issues I needed to address. I am very thankful for the time I spent with her as my therapist and it really helped me find hope in life again.

I've been with Kamara on here for quite a long time now. She's wonderful and her sessions have helped me a great deal through some very rough times and through persistent everyday troubles. I've always had something to take away from her sessions and she always manages to make sure you get the best out of your time with her.

It has been a pleasure working with Kamara. She has been very supportive throughout the sessions.

Kamara has worked so hard with me getting me to understand myself and others for the better. Her understanding and respect have been a godsend as other counsellors reflect your feelings back onto you without helping you see what’s really happening. Coming to terms with myself, and my circumstances, was impossible without her.
