LGBT therapists in Troy, MI

It has been a joy to serve clients for over 17 years. I have my doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am an associate professor helping to train the next generation of counselors, but still love to serve clients myself. I have worked at a community agency, elementary schools, and private practice. I have served children, adolescents, and adults. I have done individual, couple, and family counseling. I specialize in working with children and teens, though I find it rewarding to work with adults as well. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, neurodiversity, women's issues, and many more. I have extra training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

I’m a PhD licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being. In therapy, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel understood, heard, and empowered to move forward at your own pace. My goal is to help you not only manage symptoms, but also build together the foundation for lasting emotional well-being. I often integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, while maintaining a warm, nonjudgmental space for personal growth. My focus is on helping clients develop insight, strengthen coping strategies, and foster meaningful, lasting change.

Hi y'all, I'm Malanna, rhymes with Madonna! I’m quite the unorthodox therapist, so I’ve been told, because I approach mental health with the same sincerity that we take with our physical health. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the people who sit in front of me and trust me with their vulnerability. I'm big on cooperation; pairing your self-insights with my expertise. I'll do my best to help you highlight all of your hidden strengths, buried wins, and natural gifts that life can make us lose sight of! I currently offer telehealth services but I can guarantee it’ll be just as good as seeing me in person!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over ten years of experience helping people move through life's hardest moments. I work with teenagers, individuals, couples, and families facing depression, trauma, anxiety, role transitions, and caregiver stress. I also support couples navigating infidelity or relational distress, and I feel honored to be part of that journey. I earned my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova University in 2013, and that training still shapes how I show up for clients today.
