Precious Green
Precious Green, she/her, is a mental health professional who provides clinical support and facilitates evidence-based therapeutic group counseling for at-risk youth through her work with the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services. In her current role as a Youth Group Leader and Entry-Level Clinician, she develops individualized treatment plans, conducts clinical assessments, leads trauma-informed group interventions, and collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to support youth rehabilitation, stabilization, and reintegration into the community.
She holds a Master of Science in Psychology from Regent University and is currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Counseling Psychology at Western Michigan University as she advances toward licensure as a Temporary Limited License Psychologist (TLLP). Her clinical background includes experience in pediatric behavioral health, addiction services, community mental health, and structured inpatient and residential care settings. She has also completed supervised clinical internship training with Journey to Healing Inc., where she strengthened her expertise in trauma-informed care, intake assessment, psychoeducation, and treatment planning.
Alongside her clinical work, Precious has been building wellness-centered communities for women since 2018, beginning during her college years through dance-based programming designed to help women reconnect with their bodies and cultivate sisterhood. What started as creative movement and dance collectives has since evolved into a broader wellness and entrepreneurship-focused initiative that continues through 2025. Over the years, she has hosted wellness retreats in Detroit centered on rest, restoration, and “soft girl” healing spaces for women to pour back into themselves, as well as social healing events for entrepreneurs and creators. These gatherings have incorporated collaborations with local wellness businesses, including massage therapy, sound baths, and skincare, reflecting her ongoing commitment to holistic healing, community building, and culturally responsive wellness spaces that have expanded and evolved across multiple chapters since 2018.

What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've ever received actually came from my younger brother. He told me: don't be afraid to take the risk. Getting comfortable is kind of limiting you to grow, or to even know the possibilities of success. That's the main one for me.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
The advice I'll give to young women that are just looking to be entrepreneurs in general, and who have that growth mindset, would simply just be to get a journal and write everything - all the ideas, all the passions, all the purpose projects - and just continue to be consistent. When I look back, I wanted to host my first wellness retreat back in 2024, and I wrote it down, and here come 2025, and the summer is here, and people actually expressed interest in it, and it's a huge high demand for it, especially within urban communities. I would say just stay consistent, journal, and also, don't be afraid to ask for help. Because in order to grow in the industry, you need a team.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Right now, I would say the biggest obstacles are definitely just being able to find that bridge of community in Detroit, particularly, since that's where I was born and raised. There's plenty of talented people, and sometimes that support can be a little bit challenging, especially as an introvert. Reaching out to people isn't my natural ability. It takes a lot of jumping out there and stepping out on risk, and that's something that I've been doing, but definitely, just finding that safe space to continue to build with one another.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I would say my top 3 values are, first and foremost, respect. We don't have to be on the same page, but I feel like respect goes a long way. Additionally, just integrity - being able to just have transparent and honest connections with one another. There's nothing wrong with everybody shining, so that would be my second one. And then lastly, I'll just say having creativity is a huge value because just the uniqueness of people's passions, and what drives it, and what ends up coming out of it at the end, is very eye-opening.
