Joshua Twiest

Joshua Twiest

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


I've been a listener my whole life — since I was a teenager, long before I had any clinical training, I learned that the most powerful thing one person can do for another is to genuinely pay attention. That hasn't changed. What has changed is that now I have the tools, training, and experience to help that attention lead somewhere. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I work with individuals, families, couples, and children — and I see clients across the state through telehealth. I'm trained in a range of approaches including CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bowen Family Systems, which means I can adapt to what actually fits you — not just apply a template. I'm also comfortable holding faith and spirituality as part of your story if that's relevant for you. I'm not a "Christian therapist" in a prescriptive sense, but I've spent years working as a chaplain and I understand how much a person's spiritual framework shapes how they see themselves and the world. That's a welcome part of the conversation here.

Therapist

Are you someone who has spent much of your life being strong for everyone else—caring for others, holding things together, and continuing to move forward even when you feel overwhelmed? Maybe somewhere along the way, you’ve lost touch with yourself or found yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or your own sense of self-worth.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who works with adults and adolescents to better understand the experiences, emotions, and patterns that may be affecting their lives and relationships. I believe meaningful healing begins with greater self-awareness and understanding. My approach is warm, compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative, while also providing the support and gentle challenge needed for growth. Together, we can work toward healthier boundaries, stronger relationships, greater self-worth, and lasting change that helps you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create.

Edward Collins

Edward Collins

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience and a background that

goes well beyond the therapy room. Before I became a therapist, I worked across a wide

range of fields — and I bring that broad human perspective into every session. I don't

approach your struggle with a clipboard. I approach it with genuine curiosity about who you

are.

I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT, which means I have real tools for real problems —

anxiety that won't quiet down, ADHD that's been dismissed for years, trauma that's never

been properly addressed, grief that doesn't follow a timeline, or a relationship that needs

rebuilding. I work with adults, older adults and seniors, and adolescents, and I offer both in-

person sessions in Fenton, Michigan and telehealth throughout the state.

I also accept Medicare, VA Community Care, TRICARE, and over 25 other insurance plans

— because access to quality care shouldn't be the barrier that stops someone from getting

better.

Ashlie Taylor

Therapist

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.
