Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and your future self will thank you for showing yourself kindness today. My name is Renee. I graduated from University of Southern California School of Social Work in 2014. I specialize in working with individuals carrying the weight of significant trauma, addictions, unresolved grief, and painful life experiences that can feel isolating or overwhelming. I support those who struggle with trust after unhealthy relationships, major life transitions, or who have turned to alcohol or other substances to cope with emotional pain.
I also work with individuals healing from addiction, substance use, and mental health challenges, and I have experience supporting military families as they navigate the unique barriers of having a loved one in the military, as well as serving Veterans. My goal is to offer a supportive space for healing, connection, and meaningful change.
I am a Licensed Therapist with over two decades of experience, holding a Master’s degree in Social Work since 2003. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families from a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and gender identities. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to supporting each client’s unique journey toward healing and personal growth.
Good for you! You’re here because you’re having difficulty in a relationship; or struggling with depression or anxiety and have decided you’re tired of feeling stressed and want to be better able to cope. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and not allow new - or longstanding issues to keep you from reaching your full potential. I focus on building a trusting relationship which will allow you to explore the changes you want to make to improve the quality of your life. I have successfully helped many clients reach their full potential by engaging in therapy treating YOU as a person, and not a disorder.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Jessica Banford, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker / Clinical Social Worker with experience providing support in both emergency and outpatient mental health settings. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and my professional background includes working in hospital emergency departments, where I have completed behavioral health assessments, crisis intervention, and care coordination for individuals experiencing acute mental health concerns. This experience has strengthened my ability to remain calm, supportive, and solution-focused during difficult moments. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, and life stressors such as relationship difficulties, financial stress, and transitions. I also worked a outpatient community health center providing therapy to all populations including all ages. I also have experience supporting adolescents and young adults, as well as collaborating with families and support systems. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based. I often incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing overall resilience. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported. I look forward to working together to help you reach your goals and improve your overall well-being.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work that is passionate about supporting women and teens who have not felt like themselves or have not found their voice within due to trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and life stressors. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported. With nine years experience, my work focuses on helping you manage those concerns, as I have worked with multiple populations including those in child welfare, immigration, children, teens, and adults.
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.
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.
You may be functioning well on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unable to slow down.
You may be the person others depend on while quietly feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. At Milton’s Place Counseling, therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, process what you are carrying, and identify practical next steps. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life transitions. You do not have to wait until you are in crisis to seek support.
If anxiety, depression, grief, or ongoing stress are making daily life feel harder, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adolescents, adults, and families who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Many parents seek support when they notice changes in their teen’s mood, behavior, school functioning, or communication, while adults often come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or weighed down by life transitions and relationship stress.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Detroit, MI
Searching for therapists in Detroit starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Detroit therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Some profiles may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy, which can help you understand how a therapist works before you book.
In Detroit, the right fit may depend on both clinical focus and practical details. You might prefer an office near your neighborhood, workplace, or school, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions. As you narrow your search, check appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading therapist bios can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Detroit can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more manageable. Headway helps you search for Detroit therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
