Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work that is passionate about supporting women, teens, and those who are navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, low self-esteem, and life stressors. Perhaps you who have not felt like yourself or have not found your voice due to everyone else having a say about your life choices. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported. With nine years experience and through lived experience, my work focuses on helping you manage those concerns, as I have worked with multiple populations including children, teens, and adults.

Therapist

My work is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and relational. I begin with “What happened and how did your nervous system learn to survive it?” Emotional neglect is painful precisely because it is invisible. I create a space where your inner experience is met with steadiness, clarity, and care. Healing attachment wounds requires presence that stays.

E.T. Townsend

Therapist

Virtual • Kalamazoo, MI


I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.

Layna Johnson

Layna Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


Hello!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (state of MI) and Psychotherapist. I work as an in-person psychotherapist in California at the federal level. I currently am able to offer virtual mental health therapy sessions to Michigan residents through Headway as well. I refuse to give up my Michigan roots. I love my home state!

I am a graduate from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for my undergraduate (BA in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science) and graduate (Master of Social Work) education. Go blue! I accept Spartans as clients too, don't worry. (Go green! Go white! 😀)

I have over a decade of experience in trauma work, grief, depression, managing psychosocial stress, anxiety, building self-esteem, helping people set boundaries with themselves and others, learn how to own their own space in this ever-evolving world, and so much more!

I believe a diagnosis is only a part of a person NOT the person's entire identity. The truth is, we all have problems, some are just better at hiding them. So, no judgement here. You deserve to feel loved, respected, and appreciated by others, but above all else, by yourself.

Tell me how I can help and if you don't know, let's figure it out together.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lansing

Searching for therapists in Lansing starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life transitions. As you compare Lansing therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about what sessions are like. A bio can help you understand whether a therapist’s training and style match your needs before you book.

Lansing has a smaller local therapy market than larger Michigan cities, so your best fit may be in Lansing, East Lansing, or available through virtual appointments. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual care for more scheduling options. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also show how a therapist communicates, structures sessions, and works with concerns like counseling, couples support, or family stress.

Therapy in Lansing can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, with many accepting new patients and offering clear cost estimates before you book. You can search for therapy in Lansing, MI, review therapist bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
