Life Steps Family Counseling

Mental & Spiritual Wellness

Josie DeJong, MA, LPC, SCL
Owner - Therapist

This practice was started in 2011.  Josie was a full time school counselor from 2006-2022.  During that time she also provided services through the state's department of human services.  She also worked with a community mental health agency and brought Functional Family Therapy to Berrien County.  She has worked with other local counseling offices and provides therapy via Employee Assistance Programs both virtually and in person.  Realizing the importance of spiritual development as a key component in happiness, the business transformed to incorporate Catholic Informed practices in 2024.  Your therapist will not force values on you, and will also not endorse actions contrary to Catholic beliefs.
