Psychologist

I’m a PhD licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being. In therapy, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel understood, heard, and empowered to move forward at your own pace. My goal is to help you not only manage symptoms, but also build together the foundation for lasting emotional well-being. I often integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, while maintaining a warm, nonjudgmental space for personal growth. My focus is on helping clients develop insight, strengthen coping strategies, and foster meaningful, lasting change.

Psychologist

As a Black man, I understand the specific pressures we carry, the ones that we handle alone and don't always show. As a therapist, I help Black men work through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, identity questions, and the expectation to act like everything is fine when it isn't. Black men are not a monolith, and my work reflects that. I've worked with active duty military, veterans, clergy and people of faith, college students, the LGBTQIA+ community, and men living with HIV/AIDS. I built Brother2Brother Therapy Services because I saw a need for mental health care built for Black men. A space where there's no performing and no code-switching. Just honest conversation, brother to brother.

Therapist

I received my Master's degree in Counseling from Barry University in Florida. Since I graduated, I have worked with a wide variety of populations, from severely emotionally disturbed children to adults experiencing addiction. I believe clients who are experiencing any disruption to their identity, whether that be the transition to adulthood, retirement, or even towards the end of life, are the clients I work best with. I am a firm advocate for creating safe spaces for any population that is critically underserved and have seen the positive outcomes that come from a client feeling seen and heard.

Marianne Lopez

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

Therapist

Hi y'all, I'm Malanna, rhymes with Madonna! I’m quite the unorthodox therapist, so I’ve been told, because I approach mental health with the same sincerity that we take with our physical health. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the people who sit in front of me and trust me with their vulnerability. I'm big on cooperation; pairing your self-insights with my expertise. I'll do my best to help you highlight all of your hidden strengths, buried wins, and natural gifts that life can make us lose sight of! I currently offer telehealth services but I can guarantee it’ll be just as good as seeing me in person!
