Specialties
Still Waters Counseling is a family-friendly practice specializing in the holistic treatment of mental and behavioral disorders. Founded in a home office as Hudson Family Therapy in 2000, Still Waters Counseling now has offices in two Michigan communities: Saline and Adrian. The practice changed its name to Still Waters Counseling LLC in 2004 to reflect our aim as therapists to be still and reflective, as well as the peace and calm that we hope our clients will attain through counseling.
History
Established in 2000.
Still Waters Counseling is co-owned and operated by a husband-wife team, Dr. Smita Nagpal, and Dr. Brian Pearson, both licensed psychologists with a strong background in family systems, marital and family therapy. Still Waters is a culturally and ethnically diverse practice and our clinicians represent a wide range of backgrounds and areas of expertise. However, the common link is utilizing the Family Systems framework in our work with clients.
