Hello! I am Jill Vander Bent! ​​

I have been a counselor and family therapist since 2003. I have served and helped families and children at Bethany Christian Services since beginning my career. I worked as a home-based therapist at Bethany Christian Services in Grand Rapids for 2 years where I helped families who had been substantiated with abuse and neglect. My role was to assess and alleviate stressors that were causing families to harm their children and not care for them as they should.I later moved to the Holland Bethany location and worked as an outpatient child and family therapist. My heart wanted to treat children and families who were experiencing high stress and challenges. Children and families who have experienced trauma became my specialty. Helping families and children heal from loss, separation, grief, depression, stress, anxiety, abuse, neglect, and a variety of other issues that cause distress is my focus.I specialize in providing services to children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I provide a wide range of care to all experiencing distress. I specialize in working with many people of all ages who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, abuse, sexual abuse, relationship issues, behavioral issues, family and parenting challenges.​

I have over 20 years of experience in providing counsel and support, especially to individuals, families, and children who have experienced trauma, been adopted, are in the process of being adopted, and families with children who are or have been in foster care.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work degree, both from Grand Valley State University. I am trained and certified in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), AF-CBT (Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ADOPTS (Therapy that Addresses the Distress of Post Traumatic Stress), CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management), TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy)
