LGBTQ+ Therapists in Detroit, MI

As a therapist with multiple intersecting identities, I understand our mental states are products of our social and environmental states. I aim to work collaboratively with the client to help access the strengths and resources they inherently possess. My areas of clinical interest include anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions, grief, stress, trauma and identity concerns. I have a particular interest in supporting those who are LGBTQIA + identified and other marginalized and oppressed populations.

Seeking therapy for yourself can be complex and multi-layered. Finding a therapist you connect with is essential. I work interactively and collaboratively to support you at your pace while helping you move toward the fullest expression of the life you wish to lead. I value and utilize a trauma-informed lens wherein I aim to co-create a safe holding environment where the changes you hope for can occur. The therapeutic relationship is the backdrop for investigation, integration, and healing with openness, curiosity, self-compassion, and tenderness. I aim to embody authenticity, humor, and generosity throughout my work with clients.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist currently working in general practice, and I am experienced in helping adolescents and adults with adjustment problems, grief work, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and other psychological problems in individual therapy. I feel creating a supportive, judgment-free environment is key in developing a positive therapeutic relationship and have experience with multiple therapeutic techniques, including the cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic perspectives. I believe therapy works best when we can work collaboratively to tailor the treatment to best fit your needs.

I love working with women/femmes that are ready to start doing the deeper work required to build a life that's fulfilling and in alignment with their authentic selves. If you're overwhelmed by life, stuck in people-pleasing mode, feeling depressed or anxious, struggling with parenting, and/or dissatisfied with your relationships, I can help. I work with my clients to safely yet critically explore their upbringing and past experiences so they can better understand the root of their challenges and better overcome them. We'll work together to identify and change thought & behavior patterns that are no longer serving you!

Whether you are exploring your sexual/gender identity, have a specific relationship concern, or are going through a rough patch and not sure where to start, I would love to extend an invite to have you in my "chair." Clients that typically seek me out may be LGBTQ + identifying, looking to improve their sexual health, want to develop healthier romantic and/or peer relationships, or are working through family conflict. Whether you come to the space as an individual or with a partner(s), you can expect me to approach our work through a social justice lens where we can continue to grow together.

Hi, I’m Katie (she/her). I believe you are the expert of your soul and your story, and I would be privileged to share in your journey and to empower you to realize your highest potential. My approach is positive and person-centered, and the therapeutic modalities we use will be flexible and driven by your needs and goals.

What dreams do you want to manifest? What does your inner child want you to know? What parts of yourself want to be awakened? The prolonged impacts of trauma can feel like looking into a distorted mirror and wondering, "Who am I?" Wherever you are in life, I meet you with guidance to empower you to reject a false self so that your true self is accepted. Accepting yourself may mean accepting your feelings, identity, perspective, values, and authentic inner nature! I believe you have the power within to manifest changes in your unique reality. I primarily work with LGBTQ + people, trauma survivors, children, youth, and young adults.
