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.
Hello, my name is Thamreen, and welcome to Tufts and Tulips Therapy! I’m so glad you’ve taken this important first step toward exploring therapy. I understand how overwhelming it can feel, but I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over ten years of experience as a clinical social worker, I’ve had the honor of supporting people who, like you, were unsure or nervous about starting therapy—and together, from tufts to tulips, we’ve created real and lasting change.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in hospitals, EAPs, crisis lines, and community mental health settings, offering care to veterans, people experiencing homelessness, refugees, company executives, youth, the elderly, and everyone in between. Whether you’re an individual, couple, or family, I welcome clients of all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, ages 17 and up. Kindness, empathy, and respect are the foundation of my work, and I strive to make sure you feel seen, heard, and valued from day one.
I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.
Hi! I am Chardae Korhonen (She/Her) a licensed clinical social worker and relational therapist.
If you are reading this, I can imagine something in your life isn’t feeling quite right. Maybe you feel stuck or feel disconnected from yourself and the life you want to be living. Maybe you’re navigating hormonal changes—whether that’s PMS/PMDD, perimenopause, or menopause—working through the impact of trauma, navigating relationship challenges or simply exhausted from feeling like you’re constantly surviving instead of actually living.
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to be here. I’ve been in practice for over 10 years, and throughout that time I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, and I approach each person with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for their lived experience.
You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, healing, and self-connection.
With seven years of experience, I offer a compassionate but direct approach to therapy. I’m here to challenge, empower, and support you—especially when you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll focus on real progress in your life and relationships, with clarity, courage, and intention.

Find the right counselor for your family
Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Detroit
Finding family therapists in Detroit starts with knowing what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, and major life changes. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention family systems, structural family therapy, parent-child work, or experience with families navigating concerns like stress, grief, or school-related challenges.
Detroit has a range of family therapists across the city and nearby areas, so the right fit often comes down to logistics as much as specialty. Some families prefer in-person sessions near home, school, or work, while others use virtual appointments to make scheduling easier across multiple calendars. Attendance can also vary by session, with the full family, smaller family groups, or individual members joining at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through structure upfront.
Family therapy in Detroit can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make care easier to access. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway. You can compare profiles, confirm coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
