Dr. Bridgette Spann-Edwards

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.

Ryann Halsey

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


Hello, I’m Ryann. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience in the field, including work in community mental health, developmental disability services, and more than a decade in hospice and palliative care. Those experiences shape the steadiness and non-judgmental presence I bring to therapy today.

I work primarily with women, LGBTQIA+ adults, neurodivergent adults, and older adults navigating relational harm, grief, loss, and major life transitions. Relational harm may include painful childhood experiences, controlling or abusive relationships, or environments and systems marked by discrimination, racism, ableism, anti-LGBTQIA+ bias, or chronic invalidation.

Therapist

Something often gets lost between what you're carrying and how you talk about it. For clients who find it easier in Spanish, or who want a therapist who works with mind and body together, that gap can feel especially wide. I'm Roxanna, a bilingual (Spanish/English) social worker in Michigan with an integrative, eclectic approach. I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationship strain, cultural and identity pressures, and more. Whether you speak English, Spanish, or move between both, all of you is welcome here. I would love to be that space.
