Care Coordination for Physicians

Affirming therapy for your patients, with a secure handoff.

Forest Ferns Counseling is a Deaf-led, text-friendly group practice providing affirming therapy for adults, teens, children, and families across Michigan.

Our clinicians help with complex and relational trauma, medical trauma and chronic illness, neurodivergence, identity and relationship concerns, parenting, grief, and life transitions. Telehealth is available statewide, with in-person sessions in Ypsilanti with select clinicians.

How we can help

We work with patients navigating:

  • Complex, relational, developmental, and medical trauma
  • Chronic illness, disability, and caregiver strain
  • Neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism
  • LGBTQ+ identity, relationships, and family changes
  • Deaf and hard-of-hearing experiences, ASL-using clients, and Deaf-hearing families
  • Parenting stress, grief, and major life transitions

We match each patient with a therapist based on clinical fit, access needs, preferred format, and availability. Our clinicians’ specialties and communication options vary, and we can help find the best fit.

Refer a patient

Send patients to our Get Started page to view current openings or request help finding a therapist. They can connect online or by text, no phone call needed.

Coordinate care

We welcome collaboration with physicians, pediatricians, psychiatrists, school-based clinicians, and other care professionals. With the patient’s permission and written authorization, we can coordinate care with the referring provider.

For a secure handoff, contact us without patient-identifying or clinical details. We’ll establish an appropriate secure communication method before exchanging confidential information.

Coverage

We accept BCBS, BCN, Aetna, Priority Health, Curative Health Plan, and private pay.

Reach us

Text or send a request. Tell us what kind of support your patient is looking for and any access needs, and we’ll take it from there.
