Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Michigan

Hi! I am Valerie L. Rennon MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. I am a dual board certified nurse practitioner in both psychiatric mental health and women's health across the lifespan. I have been in practice for over a year now and my most recent experience has been in an underserved and underinsured area of downtown Detroit, MI.

I have also been an adjunct clinical instructor for RN students over the past 3 years. I am a graduate from Michigan State University, University of Colorado Anschutz, University of Texas Arlington and Colorado Mountain College. Having moved about the country for a bit, my husband of 18 years and I have established our home in MI with our two children, dog Curley and our bearded dragon Sami.

Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.

Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!

You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported.

Life can bring challenges that leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or substance use concerns, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences, gain clarity, and create meaningful change.

As a Licensed Social Worker, I bring a diverse background working with individuals and families facing a wide range of life challenges. My approach to therapy is person-centered, compassionate, and holistic, recognizing that your experiences, strengths, and goals are uniquely your own.

Therapy is about you, your journey, and the life you want to create. Our work together moves at your pace, with an emphasis on building trust, strengthening self-esteem, developing healthy coping skills, and finding greater balance in your life. You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and be yourself.

I believe meaningful growth begins with connection. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical. It can be a genuine, down-to-earth conversation that helps you see things differently, recognize your strengths, and discover new possibilities. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered with greater insight and practical tools to move forward.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome here. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional well-being, and a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and true to you.

Before earning my Masters in Counseling, I earned a PhD in social and personality psychology. This background deeply informs how I show up as a therapist. I help clients address unresolved trauma and grief, anxiety and OCD, address relationship issues, as well as "problems of everyday living." My style is active, engaged, and practical.

You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rediscover the person you were always meant to be. I believe true healing begins when we care for the whole person—not just the problem. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Clients may seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck and uncertain about their next steps. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen with intention, and support you as you work toward healing, growth, and wellness. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and positive change.

We all face challenging feelings, these feelings are normal; however, sometimes we need to develop the right tools to deal with them in a healthy way. I have a passion for mental health and supporting those on their journey to wellness. I integrate mental, physical, and spiritual health to help clients achieve overall wellness.
