Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Ann Arbor, MI

I am a Licensed Therapist with over two decades of experience, holding a Master’s degree in Social Work since 2003. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families from a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and gender identities. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to supporting each client’s unique journey toward healing and personal growth.

I've been a listener my whole life — since I was a teenager, long before I had any clinical training, I learned that the most powerful thing one person can do for another is to genuinely pay attention. That hasn't changed. What has changed is that now I have the tools, training, and experience to help that attention lead somewhere. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I work with individuals, families, couples, and children — and I see clients across the state through telehealth. I'm trained in a range of approaches including CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bowen Family Systems, which means I can adapt to what actually fits you — not just apply a template. I'm also comfortable holding faith and spirituality as part of your story if that's relevant for you. I'm not a "Christian therapist" in a prescriptive sense, but I've spent years working as a chaplain and I understand how much a person's spiritual framework shapes how they see themselves and the world. That's a welcome part of the conversation here.

As a therapist, I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, emotions, and goals. I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, co-occurring disorders, and emotional dysregulation. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which helps clients build skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

I understand that healing is not linear—and that every person’s story is unique. Whether you're facing overwhelming emotions, struggling with addiction and mental health challenges, or trying to make sense of past trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and clinical expertise.

Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist licensed in TN and MI and I offer a wide range of services including therapy and treatment for Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety disorders, PTSD and ADHD. I graduated from University of Pennsylvania and am a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and have 26 years of experience. I have worked in Inpatient and outpatient services having served patients in CMHC, and I am currently in Outpatient Private Practice.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and your future self will thank you for showing yourself kindness today. My name is Renee. I graduated from University of Southern California School of Social Work in 2014. I specialize in working with individuals carrying the weight of significant trauma, addictions, unresolved grief, and painful life experiences that can feel isolating or overwhelming. I support those who struggle with trust after unhealthy relationships, major life transitions, or who have turned to alcohol or other substances to cope with emotional pain.

I also work with individuals healing from addiction, substance use, and mental health challenges, and I have experience supporting military families as they navigate the unique barriers of having a loved one in the military, as well as serving Veterans. My goal is to offer a supportive space for healing, connection, and meaningful change.

I have been doing this work for over 20 years now, and I look forward to working with you!

I've always worked with folks who might feel like quality therapy is out of reach, and that's still who I see. That's where my heart is, helping people who thought they couldn't get help heal, process, and grow into the best version of themselves and live their best life.
