WillowsEdge Counseling and Healing Arts Center stands as a beacon of hope and healing for the residents of Imlay City, MI, and surrounding communities. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide comprehensive mental health counseling to individuals aged 3 and up, using both traditional and innovative creative arts therapeutic modalities. Our services are grounded in a belief that every individual deserves access to mental health resources, regardless of their background or circumstances. 

As a vital mental health facility, WillowsEdge is committed to addressing the needs of underserved areas in Michigan's Thumb region, where mental health services are sometimes limited. The residential facility at 270 N Almont in Imlay City is poised to become a place of transformation and support for countless individuals, including veterans, low-income families, and children in need of compassionate care.

To continue our commitment to the community, we are seeking rezoning this residential home to commercial zoning that will allow us to operate from a residential house about a block from downtown Imlay City. This zoning is not merely a piece of paperwork but a necessary step towards ensuring that the people of Imlay City have access to vital mental health services. We accept a wide range of insurances, including Medicaid and military insurance, and offer programs tailored for those with unique financial challenges, making our services accessible to a wide demographic.

You can see the house we recently put an offer on (contingent on receiving this special use permit) here:

Data from the National Institute of Mental Health confirms that areas with sparse mental health resources face increased difficulties in addressing issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. With the proper zoning, WillowsEdge can expand its operations and fill these gaps in mental health care for the Imlay City community.

We deeply value the potential partnerships and support from local residents to help make this possible. By signing this petition, you are directly contributing to a cause that uplifts and supports our community through quality mental health care.

Join us in this effort to obtain rezoning for WillowsEdge Counseling and Healing Arts Center. Let's work together to ensure that every member of the Imlay City community can access the mental health resources they deserve. Your signature will help transform lives.
