Ashlie Taylor

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


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.

Welcome! I'm Grace.

Life can bring challenges that leave us feeling stuck, discouraged, or uncertain. Whether you're struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, or past experiences, you don't have to navigate those challenges alone.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in unhelpful patterns of thinking? You don’t have to figure it out on your own. I work with adults who want to feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives, but aren’t sure where to start. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are getting in your way and gently build new ways of coping so you can move toward the life you want with more ease and self-compassion.

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.

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