Therapists in Lansing, MI

Talking with a therapist in a safe, open, and respectful environment can help you to obtain a better understanding about the issues in your life that may be causing you to feel anxious, depressed, or hopeless. Sometimes these feelings are caused by a recent event such as getting fired, loss of a significant relationship, or death of a loved one, and other times the feelings are on-going and have been around for a while. Regardless if your issues are acute or chronic, everyone can benefit from being heard and treated with compassion.
