About Us
Our Story
​
Therapy Alliance of Michigan was founded by Amanda Lilley, LMSW, and Ashley Ziolkowski, LMSW, two passionate and experienced therapists who wanted to create a practice where clients could find support in a compassionate and empowering environment. With a shared vision of providing personalized, client-centered care, Amanda and Ashley built Therapy Alliance of Michigan to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth. They founded the practice with a commitment to offering accessible, empathetic, and evidence-based therapeutic services, recognizing the importance of creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and supported.
​
Amanda and Ashley were inspired to start the practice after years of working in the fields of child welfare and clinical therapy. They saw the immense impact that a strong therapeutic alliance can have on healing and personal transformation. Both believe that therapy is not just about addressing symptoms but about empowering people to overcome obstacles, heal from trauma, and build fulfilling lives. Their dedication to helping clients make lasting, positive changes fueled their decision to open Therapy Alliance of Michigan, where they could bring their vision to life and serve their community in a meaningful way.
​
The practice offers a wide range of therapeutic services, including individual, couple, and family therapy. Our diverse clinical team uses evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques, ensuring that our treatment strategies are tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. We understand that no two journeys are the same, which is why we work collaboratively with our clients to create personalized treatment plans that foster growth, emotional healing, and resilience.
