Therapist in Lansing, Michigan Mary Wicker, Therapist

Mary Wicker, LPC, helps adults and seniors across Michigan find healing, purpose, and resilience through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. She works with individuals and couples to navigate a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. Mary brings a grounded, supportive presence to her sessions, walking alongside clients as they explore life’s transitions, reconnect with their strengths, and build healthier patterns. She sees therapy as a space where growth can unfold safely and meaningfully—especially for those who have carried unseen burdens for too long. Mary provides therapy to adults ages 18 and up, including older adults navigating later-life transitions. She offers both individual and couples therapy and has deep experience helping clients manage bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction recovery, and the emotional impact of medical conditions. Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, all tailored to the individual. Whether working through grief, navigating postpartum depression or anxiety, or addressing insomnia, Mary creates a warm and structured environment for healing. She also integrates faith-based and Christian counseling when requested, honoring each client’s values and belief systems. Mary is especially passionate about supporting individuals and couples dealing with trauma, addictions, and grief. These issues often leave people feeling disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, and their sense of hope. Mary works with clients to process painful experiences, reduce shame, and build emotional resilience. She also has specialized experience working with women’s issues, including those related to trauma recovery, parenting, and midlife changes. Her work with couples focuses on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering deeper emotional connection. Mary also serves individuals with developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and head injuries, offering thoughtful and inclusive care. Her interventions are grounded in clinical skill and real-world understanding, making her a trusted partner in each client’s therapeutic journey. She offers additional support in areas such as parenting skills, exposure therapy, and family systems work to meet a wide range of needs. Outside of her work at LifeStance Health, Mary finds joy in scrapbooking, sewing, and spending time in nature. She enjoys cooking, baking, and caring for her pets, and has a deep interest in natural health and social justice. She also finds inspiration in music, podcasts, and community connection. Her warmth and creativity extend beyond the therapy room into every aspect of her life.
