I’m a Clinical Therapist with 18 years of experience, helping people work through some of life’s hardest moments. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University, and throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.

I’ve worked with individuals struggling with substance use and recovery, depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and many other issues. Over the years, I’ve learned that therapy isn’t about having all the answers or being told what you should do. Life is complicated, and sometimes we simply get stuck. We can know what we want to change but still have a hard time figuring out where to start.

Every new beginning starts with one step and you don't have to take it alone. I’m Marsha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness and you don’t have to navigate difficult seasons of life alone. With more than 30 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of life transitions, including emotional well-being, relationship and family issues, trauma, medical concerns, caregiver support, and other stressful circumstances you may have encountered.

Serving Veterans, families, homelessness, and vulnerable adults to create a path toward greater balance and well-being. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you, listen, provide support, and help you discover the path that feels right for you.

Therapist

I have been counseling people of all ages for 43 years. I begin with listening to your story. I not only want to hear it; I want to understand it as well. Sometimes, this mutual understanding alone is all that a client needs. During the intake process, I will ask you detailed questions to further understanding of your situation and issues you are dealing with right now. Next, we will work together to form a plan of action which will guide our sessions together, which typically last 45 – 50 minutes. This plan of action will focus on helping you, the client, work towards solving problems and issues that you present. Did I mention that takes work? Achieving understanding of issues and taking appropriate actions towards wellness both take time, concentration and energy.

Dr. Bridgette Spann-Edwards

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

Gabriela Vega Bravo

Gabriela Vega Bravo

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


Hi there, and thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Gabi, and I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). During my graduate training, I focused on mastering Aaron Beck’s CBT approach, which continues to guide my work in helping clients develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and am credentialed to provide Substance Use Disorder (SUD) therapy. I completed advanced Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) training through the Dialectical Behavioral Institute in Michigan, and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I also hold specialized certifications in ADHD (CCSP), anger management (CSAM), anxiety treatment (CCATP), and mood disorders.

My clinical experience includes work as a residential therapist, in a faith-based private practice, facilitating counseling services in correctional facilities, and in hospital emergency psychiatric units supporting individuals in crisis. I also provide clinical supervision to other therapists.

I primarily work with adults 18 and older, offering a safe, supportive, and professional environment. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, integrating CBT and DBT techniques to promote balance, resilience, and personal growth.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Michigan


Hi, I’m Brian. I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and I’m passionate about helping people feel better, both physically and mentally.

I got into healthcare because I genuinely care about people and wanted to make a meaningful difference in their lives. Over time, I’ve developed a strong interest in the connection between physical health, mental health, and substance use, and I’ve dedicated my practice to treating the whole person, not just symptoms.

I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use. I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, so I focus on creating a space where you can feel comfortable, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative; I listen first, then work with you to build a plan that fits your life, your goals, and your pace.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, going through a tough time, or working toward recovery, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you feel more in control, more balanced, and more like yourself again.

I’m committed to staying up to date with the latest evidence-based practices, but just as importantly, I’m committed to showing up for my clients as a real person who cares. You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.
