Our Story
The Healing Project began as a small group of survivors choosing community as part of their healing. It didn't have a name, the members simply knew it as group. The support and connections found there brought more healing and love than any of them could have imagined.
It was Heather (pictured with her guinea pig) that knew it could be something more. She gave the group its name and its heart. Her vision was clear: survivors shouldn't just heal in private. They should tell their stories, on their own terms, as part of their recovery and as a way to teach the community how to show up better for the people they love. Because of her, The Healing Project began bringing that message everywhere it was needed, presenting to educators, universities, police departments, detectives, and countless others across Lenawee County and the surrounding areas.
As the work grew, so did the groups. What started with teens and adults expanded to include children as young as four, meeting more of this community where they were. In 2026, The Healing Project took its biggest leap yet, opening as an independent licensed practice in a landmark Victorian building in the heart of Adrian.
Our next goal is establishing a nonprofit arm to expand access to mental health care for those who need it most. Because this community deserves more, and we're committed to building it.
