ABOUT US

At Journies Inc., our mission is to empower individuals on their path to recovery through compassionate counseling, education, and consistent support. We create a safe, welcoming environment where real change can take root and where each person is treated with dignity, respect, and care.

Founded in 2001 in Grand Rapids and expanded to Allegan County in 2005, Journies Inc. has grown into a trusted provider of recovery-focused counseling and court-approved programs across Michigan. As our community’s needs have evolved, we’ve expanded our services to offer more individualized, culturally responsive, and accessible support.

Led by a team with lived experience and professional training, we understand the courage it takes to seek help. Our counselors and recovery specialists are committed to providing accurate reporting, reliable communication with referral sources, and personalized guidance for every client who walks through our doors.

We believe every recovery journey is unique. Through structured programs, one-on-one counseling, and genuine connection, we help individuals build stability, resilience, and long-term change—one person, one journey at a time.
