Lansing Psychological Associates PC

For people committed to long-term recovery who do not need round-the-clock residential care, an outpatient program can be one of the most effective structures available. Lansing Psychological Associates offers exactly that — a consistent, professionally supported outpatient setting where clients in East Lansing and across Mid-Michigan can engage in meaningful addiction treatment while remaining connected to their families, jobs, and communities.

LPA's outpatient program is well-suited to individuals moving through different phases of the recovery continuum: those stepping down from residential treatment, those building on earlier progress, and those beginning structured care for the first time. The clinic's extended hours — open as late as 8:00 PM on weekdays — remove one of the most common barriers to sustained outpatient participation.

Substance use rarely exists in isolation. Lansing Psychological Associates builds its outpatient program around that reality, with a clinical focus on co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis — the intersection of addiction and mental health conditions like trauma and PTSD. This approach ensures that clients are not treated for substance use alone, but are supported across the full picture of what they are navigating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary therapeutic method at LPA, giving clients a concrete framework for understanding how thought patterns influence behavior and recovery. For people in long-term recovery who have experienced trauma or carry a dual diagnosis, this structured, skills-based approach can be a cornerstone of durable change.

Lansing Psychological Associates serves a wide cross-section of adults seeking recovery and mental health support in Mid-Michigan. Veterans are specifically identified as a served population, and LPA's acceptance of TRICARE makes it one of the more accessible outpatient options for military-connected individuals in the Lansing area. Seniors and older adults — a population whose recovery needs are often underserved — are also explicitly part of LPA's community.

The clinic additionally works with court-ordered clients and individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, reflecting a commitment to meeting people at the access points where they need care most. Men and women are served across all programs. This breadth means that a single clinic can support multiple members of a family or community network — an important consideration for those thinking about long-term recovery as a shared process rather than an individual one.

Cost and coverage are among the most common obstacles to starting and maintaining outpatient treatment. LPA works with an extensive list of insurance carriers, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Aetna, Anthem, Optum/United Behavioral Health, Priority Health, McLaren, HAP, and several others. This breadth of coverage means that a large portion of Mid-Michigan residents will find their insurance accepted here.

For those whose insurance is not on the list — or who are currently uninsured — LPA offers self-pay and private pay options, including acceptance of all major credit cards. As the clinic notes directly: 'If your insurance is not listed or you are uninsured, please ask about our private pay options. We're happy to help you find a payment solution that works for you.' Reaching the team at (517) 337-6545 is the best first step for anyone with billing questions.
