Lotus and Stone therapy is a teletherapy counseling provider located in West Michigan.
Lotus and Stone Therapy was born from the ashes of 2020. We recognized and increased need for mental health services, and wanted to offer a safe space for Michiganders to receive services from the comfort of home. By providing teletherapy as opposed to in-person appointments, we continue to reduce the spread of COVID (and other viruses like cold and flu) while offering convenient and accessible counseling to a wider range of people.
A cornerstone of our practice is the belief that our mental and physical health are deeply intertwined. Therefore, during therapy, we must address the whole person in order to achieve lasting wellness. At Lotus and Stone Therapy, we combine traditional talk therapy practices with somatic and whole-person coping strategies in order to achieve this goal.
Why Lotus and Stone?
The Lotus
In many cultures, the lotus is a symbol for resilience, healing, enlightenment, and new beginnings. The lotus must rise from the darkness, through mud and scum before reaching the surface and blooming, revealing its true beauty and offering its gifts to others.
This is our aim in the counseling process. We hope to help you rise through whatever adversity is bringing you to us and to empower you to “bloom” into the best version of yourself.

The Stone
Stones or rocks frequently represent strength, sturdiness, guidance, and balance. Stacked stones or cairns are used as guides along hiking trails to help people on their journey and avoid getting lost.
This is the role we take on as therapists. We are here to provide guidance on your life’s journey. We hope to provide a sturdy, grounded presence and to help you find balance through life’s many ups and downs.
