Andy Atwood’s Summary
While still a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an active clinical practice, the cutting edge of my work is with family owned business, and businesses that feel like family. The neighborhood in which I currently work is West Michigan.
I've been working with individuals, couples, and families since 1974 - as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Master Social Worker since 1980. Since 1995 I have also worked with Family Owned Businesses and Business Partnerships in West Michigan.
Atwood + is me plus you, your team of staff and advisors, and those among my acquaintance that can be called in to offer special expertise. I'm a firm believer that all of us can contribute way more than any one of us.
