My name is Dr. Llena Carter. I am originally from the southside of Chicago. I have lived in four different states and traveled to over 40; including teaching/traveling abroad for multiple summers. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have a breadth of experience. I see therapy as a sacred space where trust and nonjudgment are essential. I am specifically passionate about providing support for persons of color and oppressed populations where therapy may be otherwise stigmatized. I would be honored to walk, even a small part of your journey, with you.
In my 20-plus years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals, families as well as with couples and groups. My experience has stemmed from a variety of settings including domestic violence shelters, psychiatric units, juvenile detention centers, college campuses and private practice. Consulting work has included Suicide Prevention, DEI trainings, Intergroup Dialogue, and Groups geared toward de-stigmatizing mental wellness for communities of color. All are welcome here.
Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan, and I offer telehealth services for individuals seeking support from the comfort of their own space. I work with adults across the lifespan (from young adults to older adults) who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and cultural or related challenges.
I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I strive to create a space where you can fully express yourself in the language that feels most natural to you.
If you’re looking for a supportive space to grow, heal, and reconnect with yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Therapy that helps you feel more like yourself again. Many of my clients are the people others rely on. They are caregivers, professionals, business owners, parents, partners, and helpers who spend so much time taking care of everyone else that they lose connection with their own needs, emotions, and sense of self. On the outside, they may appear capable and high functioning. Internally, they often feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.
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!
Shana decided at a young age that it was her life's purpose to speak for those that did not have a voice. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Olivet College in 2014 and her Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2016. Her primary specialty includes working with those with any kind of addiction. She also assists clients in working through life's problems, such as relationship issues, history of trauma, and occupational problems.
You’re doing your best—but parenting can feel heavy. Maybe your child is having big emotions, struggling with anxiety, or acting out in ways that worry you. Maybe you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if you’re doing enough. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with moms and children (ages 3–17) who are navigating the hard stuff—anxiety, trauma, life changes, or just the emotional weight of everyday life. Whether your child needs support, or you do (or both), I provide a safe, compassionate space where healing begins and hope grows
Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!
I currently reside in Northeast Michigan along the beautiful Lake Huron and have a license to practice in Michigan. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward self-understanding and an overall well-being. As a clinician, I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and understood.

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — 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 postpartum therapist in Detroit starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression and anxiety are among the most common concerns, but perinatal mental health also includes mood changes during pregnancy, adjustment to parenthood, and relationship shifts after having a baby. A licensed therapist with experience in perinatal mental health care — such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist — can help you work through these concerns. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can also evaluate whether medication management may be appropriate alongside talk therapy.
Detroit has a wide range of mental health providers, but finding one who specializes in postpartum care and accepts your insurance can take time — especially when you're managing the demands of a new baby. Consider what matters most to you in a provider, whether that's their clinical approach, availability for virtual appointments, or experience with specific concerns like postpartum depression or birth-related stress. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Postpartum therapy in Detroit can be expensive without insurance, but in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
