Who we are

Founded in 2021 by Larena Cherry and Stephanie Vannatter, Ease of Mind Counseling opened its first office in downtown Marine City Michigan. Both Stephanie and Larena grew up in Marine City and attended school here. After graduating with their Masters degrees they officially launched Ease of Mind Counseling!

Our first office was a humble space consisting of nothing more than a single office, a short hallway, and a restroom. Sharing the office and alternating appointments Larena and Stephanie made it work and eventually expanded adding a second office off the hallway!

Fast forward a couple years and a new therapist joins the team, Tanya Bishop signed on as our third counselor working as Wave Counseling LLC. Once again with only the two offices everyone had to share space, it was finally time to move into a full size multi-office building to accommodate our rapid expansion!

Late 2024 Ease of Mind Counseling leased a brand new much larger office on the corner of Parker and Chartier in Marine City. After a couple months of lightning renovations the doors finally opened December 1st 2024.

Our new office is quite large, consisting of 5 private rooms, a large waiting room, front desk, and a conference room! Now with enough room to continue expanding we look to bring in more therapists and prescribers to better serve our community.

If you are a therapist and looking for an office to rent please reach out to us, we would love to hear from you and see if you would be a good fit for us.
