Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Grand Rapids, MI

I’m an Indiana and Michigan Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping young adults, adults, and older adults (65+) manage life transitions, emotional stress, and everyday overwhelm. As a fully virtual provider, I offer flexible, confidential online therapy to clients across Michigan.

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.

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

I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling with an addendum of Crisis and Trauma Counseling.

Many of my clients come to me struggling with relationship challenges (like communication struggles, Parenting conflicts and infidelity), trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or depression—feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and equipped to create the changes you want in your life

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.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to be here. I’ve been in practice for over 10 years, and throughout that time I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, and I approach each person with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for their lived experience.

You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, healing, and self-connection.
