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.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or anxious? Do you find yourself overthinking or worrying about any and everything? Do you experience a rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, dry mouth and shaking? Feeling on edge, irritable or tense? All these things keep you from enjoying your life. They hold you back in your career or in relationships or other areas of life. You want to feel at ease and less stressed out. You want to go after what you want without second guessing yourself.


I help client's develop life-changing habits that allow them to cope with any of life’s various obstacles that provokes anxiety. During therapy sessions we will work together to identify goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. You'll receive tools that you can start using today and the validation and care that you deserve.


You will find a supportive, non judgmental, safe space to share. Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so I can answer any questions you have before we get started.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Detroit

Finding the right therapist for OCD in Detroit starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder. OCD involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions), and it responds best to targeted approaches. Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is one therapy approach that may be used for OCD, and a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what approach may be appropriate. Some people may also explore medication options with a psychiatrist, either on its own or alongside therapy, depending on guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

With providers practicing across Detroit and nearby areas like Dearborn, Royal Oak, Ferndale, and Grosse Pointe, narrowing your options can take time. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LMSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who lists OCD as a specialty and has experience with ERP or related evidence-based methods. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their clinical approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Therapy for OCD in Detroit can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
