I have over 20 years of working with diverse populations. I enjoy building relationships with my clients that focuses on your strengths, identify barriers to your goals and help you navigate ways to get to where you want to be. I use an evidence based holistic approach that is client-centered. Whether you’re wanting to focus on your sexual health, addictions, sexual assault, domestic violence, grief, loss, raising children, you name it! I have successfully supported hundreds of folks who want to live their best life on their terms! Give me a call today and you’ll see why clients say, “I'm the BEST at helping you get there!”
I offer a judgment-free space where we can work together toward your mental health goals. In our work, we will not just talk through the problems, concerns, or challenges bringing you to therapy. We will also focus on practical tools that can help change how you experience those situations and support you in moving toward a healthier version of yourself. I use a blend of evidence-based treatment approaches that I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I earned my LMSW from Grand Valley State University and have 17 years of experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including outpatient care, the emergency department, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization, along with many other levels of care in between. My additional training includes trauma-informed care, suicide risk assessment and safety planning, and DBT. Clients can expect me to meet them where they are while being empowering, transparent, direct, and focused on helping them reach their treatment goals.
Hi. I'm glad you're here. The decision to ask for help is a brave and difficult choice, and I'm proud of you for making it. I might be a good fit for you if you're looking for someone who has been where you're at. In addition to my own experiences with mental health and life challenges, I have worked in substance use disorder treatment, inpatient psychiatric treatment, and community risk assessment/management.
In my approach to counseling, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as the main approaches to counseling. It is important that each client's needs are met through their counseling experience, therefore, counseling is not limited to the above approaches. Biblical principles are also used as an approach to counseling. Counseling will be provided to a diverse population of individuals. Optimum health and healing is possible if you are willing to do the work! Be Willing!
I am a mental health professional who integrates evidence based practices with a Christ Like worldview to support healing, growth, restoration and transformation. True wellness and stability includes all aspects of the person that includes the mind, body, and spirit, and I strive to create a safe, grace-filled space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I value providing services to help individuals navigate the the challenging journey of life and offer a non judgemental space where clients can be open, vulnerable and honest about any challenges that they may be facing.
I have been a practicing therapist and school social worker for the past 33 years. I have extensive experience with helping children, adults and families find solution-oriented strategies to help ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. My goal is to help others improve their quality of life at every stage from childhood into adulthood.
I have discovered that every client I see has the same goals. You want to feel better! In a collaborative, supportive, and professional environment, this is possible. I see clients who feel shame, guilt, confusion, grief, anger, hopelessness, and those with high levels of stress and anxiety. I graduated with my Master's in Counseling from Spring Arbor University in 2019. I bring a wealth of life experience to help those who are struggling. I welcome the opportunity to build trust in a professional relationship to help you feel better.

Hi there! My name is Todd and I am a licensed psychotherapist and IFS-informed therapist.
I effectively treat anxiety, depressive symptoms, compulsive behaviors, and most challenges with Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS, or "parts work" is a revolutionary approach that's not the same as typical talk therapy.
I offer an understanding, compassionate ear in a welcoming virtual setting.
I look forward to meeting you!
Hello! It's great to meet you. My name is Heather Reid and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW). I have been a practicing social worker since December 2019 and have experience working in both medical social work as well as psychotherapy.
Throughout my career, I have worked with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness, relationship stress, women's issues, life transitions, and trauma. I also have specialized experience supporting frontline workers and individuals impacted by medical trauma.
Hi, I’m Brian. I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and I’m passionate about helping people feel better, both physically and mentally.
I got into healthcare because I genuinely care about people and wanted to make a meaningful difference in their lives. Over time, I’ve developed a strong interest in the connection between physical health, mental health, and substance use, and I’ve dedicated my practice to treating the whole person, not just symptoms.
I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use. I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, so I focus on creating a space where you can feel comfortable, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative; I listen first, then work with you to build a plan that fits your life, your goals, and your pace.
Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, going through a tough time, or working toward recovery, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you feel more in control, more balanced, and more like yourself again.
I’m committed to staying up to date with the latest evidence-based practices, but just as importantly, I’m committed to showing up for my clients as a real person who cares. You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

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 Mental Health 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.
