You don’t know what to do.
You’re overwhelmed with life, family, work, and everything in between. You are feeling powerless, stuck, and unable to change. You want to feel better. Our team of highly trained therapists is here to help you!
Meeting our clinicians.
Our owners and collaborators make up a team of trained and licensed clinicians that will help you learn the skills to manage the distressing emotions in and out of the therapy session. We offer a variety of specialities based on what you, your child, or your family are seeking from therapy.
Outcomes-focused, evidence-based therapy.
Through the use of evidence-based therapy treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-informed therapy, our goal at the collaborative Counseling Center of Great Lakes is to teach you effective, empirically supported skills. We use assessments to track your treatment progress, ensuring we proactively address each client’s problems and ultimately work ourselves out of a job.
Take control of your life and shape your future.
Our collaborative approach will help you live in alignment with your values rather than feeling controlled by life’s distressing emotions and experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions for Therapy
-
The best therapist is one who creates a warm and welcoming environment where you feel truly comfortable, understood, and respected. Here are a few important aspects to consider when finding a therapist:
Seek out a therapist who truly understands your unique challenges— anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or family dynamics. Finding a therapist can make all the difference on your journey to healing and growth!
Dive into their website, explore their bio, and check out the reviews to uncover their unique approach and what sets them apart!
We invite you to book a consultation and discover whether their approach speaks to you. Remember, therapy is all about collaboration, and it’s perfectly normal to explore different therapists until you find the right one. Your comfort and trust are vital to making this journey successful, so take your time to find the right fit!

We recognize that financial considerations can be a concern when seeking therapy. That’s why we offer a sliding scale for private-paying clients and are proud to be in-network with many insurance providers in the Lansing and Mid-Michigan area. We are here to help you find the best path forward, both emotionally and financially.

Absolutely. Counseling is a safe and judgment-free space for you. You're welcome to share whatever is on your mind, and aside from crucial safety concerns—like being a danger to yourself or others, or issues of child or elder abuse—everything you discuss in our sessions is kept confidential. We are here to listen with open hearts, and we're committed to working alongside you to find the solutions you’re seeking. Your feelings and experiences matter, and we’re here to support you through it.
