My name is Abby Berkey. I am a trauma therapist. I have been working for over 20 years in the field. I am also a certified personal trainer and a nutrition coach.
I am an empathetic, patient, and inclusive therapist with a passion for helping others that are going through difficult transitions in life and experiencing hardships. My foundation is based on establishing trust and providing a safe and accepting space for open communication to build a strong therapeutic alliance. I collaborate with clients to improve their emotional quality of life, develop their capacity to handle life’s stressors and mental health concerns. My counseling style is diversified, integrating person-centered, psychodynamic, emotionally focused, cognitive-behavioral, and existential therapy into counseling sessions.
I am passionate about helping adults of all ages struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive behaviors. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, including neurodivergent and those who identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

After years as a bereavement coordinator in hospice care, I have sat with some of life's hardest moments: grief, serious illness, caregiving, and loss. Those experiences showed
me that healing looks different for everyone. My goal is to offer a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and supported as you build the
confidence to move forward. Whether you are facing grief, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, or a major life transition, I would be honored to support you on this journey.

I work with mothers who are overwhelmed, burnt-out, or tired of juggling it all. For some, the intensity of motherhood brings up difficult emotions or unprocessed parts of their past. Others feel lost under the burden of care-taking and managing the mental load. With compassion and skill, we’ll tend to the parts of you that have been neglected. We’ll develop strategies for prioritizing your needs. We’ll make space for your brilliant light to shine once again!

For over 35 years, I have walked alongside individuals seeking a deeper meaning, healing, and wholeness. My work is rooted in a Bio-Psycho-Spiritual approach - honoring the inseparable connection between body, mind, and soul - drawing from Meditation, Mindful-Being, and interfaith traditions to meet each person exactly where they are. I have been told I have a particular gift in working with those in their wisdom years, guiding them through the profound process of life review - a reflective journey of integrating past experiences, finding meaning, and embracing a renewed sense of self. Whether you are navigating a spiritual awakening, a life transition, grief, or simply have a quiet longing for something more, I offer a space that is safe, unhurried, and deeply honoring of your unique path.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Detroit
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.
