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.
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.

With a comprehensive background spanning child and adult inpatient and outpatient settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise into practice. Committed to providing holistic and compassionate care. I combine psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy to address the unique needs of each patient.
I was born and raised in Michigan. I love the four seasons and all of the college and professional sport teams. I have over 20 years of behavioral health experience and both mental health and substance abuse. I also hold a certificate from Western Michigan University for treating drug and alcohol addictions.
I work with people navigating life's challenges using an approach that draws from real-life experience and evidence-based methods. I'm trained in DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT, and I tailor my work to fit your unique needs and goals.
I'm genuine and create a safe, non-judgmental place to process life's difficult moments. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I'm here to support and empower you on that journey.
I'm Jennifer, and I know that deciding to reach out takes real courage. I've spent 23 years working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, autism spectrum concerns, tic disorders, and OCD. My BTTI certification in Tourette's and OCD treatment means you can bring even the most complex or misunderstood challenges here. My approach is practical, compassionate, and built around what you specifically need. I'd love to be part of your story.
My name is Dr. Terrance Jackson, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am so glad you're considering working with me to explore your mental health and well-being
I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, CBT therapy, and trauma-informed care. I’m committed to creating a non-judgmental, supportive, and safe space to work together to help you overcome challenges and achieve your personal goals.
**Accepting teen/adult female clients only at this time.**
I’m a licensed therapist and founder of a private practice built around helping people create meaningful, lasting change, not just short-term relief. My background includes working with teen and adult women navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and deeply ingrained behavioral and emotional patterns.
My work is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with a strong emphasis on understanding the biology and evolution of the human brain. I help clients make sense of how their nervous system, thoughts, and emotional responses were shaped—and how those patterns show up in daily life as habits that may no longer serve them.
I also integrate radical responsibility and mindful self-compassion into my work. That means we don’t stay stuck in blame or avoidance, but we also don’t approach change through shame. Instead, we build awareness, ownership, and the capacity to respond to yourself and your life differently.
While I’m direct and engaged in the work, I’m also laid back and less formal in my style. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and productive and have moments of lightness, humor, and real human connection along the way.
I work best with clients who are ready to look inward, challenge themselves, and actively participate in the process of change.
Some of my background...
After raising a blended family, I decided to go back to school and change careers. Therapy lets me combine two of my lifelong passions: helping others succeed and horses. I now divide my time fairly evenly between working with horses and providing therapy.
I graduated from Oakland University in 2021 with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I worked with a non-profit group for a year before starting my practice in 2022.
Yehuda, a graduate of Wurzweiler School of Social Work, works as a clinical therapist and a school-based social worker. He is passionate about helping adults of all ages reach their full potential. To that end, he employs psychoanalytical and psychodynamic perspectives to help clients learn more about themselves. His patient-centered and humanistic approach focuses on the evolving relationship between the therapist and client providing the client the time and space to grow at their own pace. Yehuda works hard to provide a safe space for clients to share or to simply be themselves. Yehuda works with clients from a variety of backgrounds who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, or those who simply want to learn more about themselves. Outside of work hours, Yehuda can be found spending time with his family, cooking, or enjoying the great outdoors.

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.
