I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a University of Michigan graduate, and my
area of expertise is co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Over the course of
my career, I have worked with individuals navigating addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and
the complex challenges that arise when these conditions intersect. I believe that healing
happens in a space where you feel genuinely safe and understood, and I am committed to
providing exactly that. I would love to work alongside you as you move toward the life you
deserve.
I am a Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience treating adolescents, adults of all ages, families, and couples. I primarily use EMDR and Internal Family Systems treatment methods in my practice. I also incorporate techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT and other evidence based practices.
As a Master of Social Work–trained therapist, my experience in hospice and mental health has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges that come with grief, anxiety, and major life transitions. I work with adults ages 18+ and provide a warm, practical, and unhurried space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way of the life you want and identify meaningful steps toward change. My goal is to help you build resilience, find clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Hi, I’m Dr. Tonya Griffith, a trauma-informed therapist who works with teens, adults, and couples navigating the effects of trauma. I help you make sense of how past experiences may be shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today—without judgment.
Together, we focus on building practical coping skills, stability, and a stronger sense of control in your life. My approach is compassionate, straightforward, and centered on your growth. If you’re ready to start, feel free to call or email me.
Before earning my Masters in Counseling, I earned a PhD in social and personality psychology. This background deeply informs how I show up as a therapist. I help clients address unresolved trauma and grief, anxiety and OCD, address relationship issues, as well as "problems of everyday living." My style is active, engaged, and practical.
After years as a bereavement coordinator in hospice care, I have sat with some of life's hardest moments: grief, serious illness, caregiving, and loss. Those experiences showed
me that healing looks different for everyone. My goal is to offer a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and supported as you build the
confidence to move forward. Whether you are facing grief, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, or a major life transition, I would be honored to support you on this journey.
Hi, my name is Melissa and I am a Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience providing therapy to adolescents and adults ages 12 and older. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and utilizes evidence-based approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients process experiences, reduce distress, and move toward meaningful change. I am also inquisitive and a conversationalist.
Hello: I am Dr. Ken McKellar and I have over 30 years in the Air Force. My background in the Mental Health space goes back to 1991, when I earned a Masters Degree from Boston University's Education Counseling program. I earned a PhD from St Mary's University in San Antonio. I am a licensed LPC in both Michigan and Texas and an LMHC in Florida. In my off time I enjoy golf and attending live music events. I am married and raised three children and have 5 grandchildren.
I have a Master’s in Counselor Education from the University of North Texas and over 20 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, educational concerns, depression, anxiety, relationship/family conflicts, grief and loss, parenting issues, life transitions, abuse, trauma, and crisis counseling. I believe in tapping into a client’s strengths to help build lasting coping skills and strategies.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Michigan
Searching for therapists in Michigan starts with finding someone whose training, specialties, and approach match what you want help with. Across a state as large and varied as Michigan, available therapists and care options can differ between urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may want support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Michigan therapists, look for bios that name relevant specialties, therapy styles, or experience with the concerns you want to address.
Practical fit matters, too. A therapist in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or Lansing may offer in-person appointments, while virtual sessions can give you more options across Michigan. Consider appointment times, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach before you book.
The cost of Michigan therapy and counseling can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find a therapist with your insurance, view estimated session costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
