Ashley Bruce, LMSW, has been a licensed therapist at Lapeer Christian Counseling for the past six years. She is especially passionate about working with children and adolescents, helping them navigate the many challenges they can face such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. She also works with adults, supporting her clients through every stage of life with empathy and evidence-based care.

Get to Know Ashley

I love connecting with kids and teens because they are in such important, formative stages of growth. My goal is to create a space where clients and families feel understood and supported as they work through struggles and discover their resilience, courage, and strengths. Whether I’m helping a teenager manage anxiety, an adult process childhood trauma, or a young child adjusting to big life changes like divorce or the loss of a loved one, I focus on compassion, collaboration, and practical strategies that bring real relief and growth.

On a Personal Note

Outside of work, I believe in practiced self-care and stay active by running and exercising, which helps me recharge and clear my mind. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, diving into a good book, and traveling to new places whenever I get the chance.

Therapy can be scary for kids (adults too!) and I am here to help make this process one that pairs growth with patience, understanding, and compassion. If you or your child is struggling, I am here to help guide you into a place of healing. My goal is to give kids, teens, and families practical tools that make daily life feel calmer, more connected, and less overwhelming.
