The Transformation Trail
Andrew Harwood, MS LLPC
Crowdfunded Affordable Therapy
At The Transformation Trail, I provide trauma-informed, identity-affirming therapy for adults navigating complex trauma, dissociation, religious trauma, identity development, and life transitions. I believe mental health care should be accessible, not reserved for those who can afford the highest rates. Through a community-supported sliding scale and Therapy Access Fund, clients and supporters who are able to contribute more help expand access to reduced-fee counseling for others, creating a more equitable path to care.

Cooper, Assistant Therapist
Cooper is 11 years old and a service animal for my seizures and trauma. However, when we went to grad school, she quickly caught on for others too! With her own chair attached to my desk, and equipped with a bow tie (her fashion choice), she is an integral part of my therapy practice. Unless she has business elsewhere, she will be at all therapy sessions.

Therapy Access Fund
Helping reduce financial barriers to mental health care through community-supported counseling.
The Therapy Access Fund helps expand access to counseling for adults who may be experiencing financial hardship.Contributions to this fund are used to support reduced-fee therapy sessions within my practice, allowing more people to access care regardless of their current financial circumstances.The fund is supported by a combination of community contributions and clients who voluntarily choose higher sliding-scale rates when they are able.Thank you for helping create a more equitable path to care.Contributing to the Therapy Access Fund does not establish a therapeutic relationship, guarantee services for any specific individual, or provide priority access to counseling. Its purpose is simply to help make therapy more accessible within our community.

Hi, I'm Andrew Harwood, LLPC.
I founded The Transformation Trail on a simple belief: healing is not about becoming someone else—it's about becoming more fully yourself.Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to survive. They may be navigating complex trauma, dissociation, religious trauma, chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence, identity exploration, or major life transitions. Often, they arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, uncertain of who they are, or carrying stories about who they were told they should be.My role is not to tell you who you are. My role is to walk alongside you as you discover that for yourself.
My Approach
My work is grounded in the understanding that symptoms often make sense when viewed in the context of a person's history, relationships, environment, and experiences. Rather than asking "What's wrong with you?" I believe a more helpful question is "What happened to you, and how did you learn to survive it?"Therapy with me may draw from:Narrative Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
Somatic and Polyvagal approaches
Hakomi-informed practices
Jungian and depth-oriented exploration
Who I Work With
I provide trauma-informed, identity-affirming therapy for adults (18+) through secure telehealth services across Michigan.I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating:Complex trauma and C-PTSD
Dissociation and identity-related concerns
Religious trauma and spiritual reconstruction
LGBTQIA+ identities and exploration
Neurodivergence
Chronic illness and disability
Life transitions and personal growthMy practice is especially committed to serving people whose experiences have often been misunderstood, minimized, or overlooked.
Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and meaningful change.
Why The Transformation Trail?
Transformation is rarely a straight line.It is a path marked by setbacks, discoveries, grief, resilience, growth, and unexpected turns. The goal is not perfection or becoming someone else—it is moving toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned with who you are.I chose the name The Transformation Trail because therapy is often a journey of rediscovering yourself after experiences that may have left you feeling disconnected, constrained, or uncertain. Whether you are healing from trauma, exploring identity, navigating life transitions, or learning new ways of relating to yourself and others, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention.That philosophy also shapes how I think about access to care. Healing should not be reserved for those with the greatest financial resources. I believe communities are stronger when care is accessible, and I strive to offer a practice that reflects values of dignity, mutual support, and inclusion.Whatever brings you here, you do not have to walk the trail alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you.
