If you are carrying more than you can handle on your own: anxiety, stress, a difficult relationship, or a life change that caught you off guard, reaching out takes real courage, and I
want you to feel welcomed here. I am Victor, an LMSW, and I believe every person already has unique strengths worth building on. Together, we will work at your pace to develop
coping strategies that hold up in real life. My space is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and built around your goals. I would love to connect.
For me, I aim to help others transform their lives through compassionate, personalized care (with plenty of humor along the way). I specialize in working with people of color, student-athletes, and those who are neurodivergent. If you’re neurodivergent and reading this, you’ve finally found someone who specializes in and deeply understands your unique perspective. Whether seeking clarity on behaviors, understanding how you interpret the world, or navigating challenges, I am here to help.
I partner with people experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction related coping and life transitions to identify and reach their goals. I am dedicated to serving the needs of the LGBTQ+ and broader community and am committed to creating a safe, accepting and supportive environment for those I partner with.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Jessica Banford, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker / Clinical Social Worker with experience providing support in both emergency and outpatient mental health settings. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and my professional background includes working in hospital emergency departments, where I have completed behavioral health assessments, crisis intervention, and care coordination for individuals experiencing acute mental health concerns. This experience has strengthened my ability to remain calm, supportive, and solution-focused during difficult moments. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, and life stressors such as relationship difficulties, financial stress, and transitions. I also worked a outpatient community health center providing therapy to all populations including all ages. I also have experience supporting adolescents and young adults, as well as collaborating with families and support systems. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based. I often incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing overall resilience. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported. I look forward to working together to help you reach your goals and improve your overall well-being.
I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.
Hello!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (state of MI) and Psychotherapist. I work as an in-person psychotherapist in California at the federal level. I currently am able to offer virtual mental health therapy sessions to Michigan residents through Headway as well. I refuse to give up my Michigan roots. I love my home state!
I am a graduate from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for my undergraduate (BA in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science) and graduate (Master of Social Work) education. Go blue! I accept Spartans as clients too, don't worry. (Go green! Go white! 😀)
I have over a decade of experience in trauma work, grief, depression, managing psychosocial stress, anxiety, building self-esteem, helping people set boundaries with themselves and others, learn how to own their own space in this ever-evolving world, and so much more!
I believe a diagnosis is only a part of a person NOT the person's entire identity. The truth is, we all have problems, some are just better at hiding them. So, no judgement here. You deserve to feel loved, respected, and appreciated by others, but above all else, by yourself.
Tell me how I can help and if you don't know, let's figure it out together.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right fit matters. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful, therapy can be a place to slow down and better understand what’s going on.
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. Clients often describe me as compassionate, down to earth, and easy to talk to. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and aligned with your goals.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Michigan
Searching for therapists in Michigan starts with finding someone whose training, specialties, and approach match what you want help with. Across a state as large and varied as Michigan, available therapists and care options can differ between urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may want support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Michigan therapists, look for bios that name relevant specialties, therapy styles, or experience with the concerns you want to address.
Practical fit matters, too. A therapist in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or Lansing may offer in-person appointments, while virtual sessions can give you more options across Michigan. Consider appointment times, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach before you book.
The cost of Michigan therapy and counseling can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find a therapist with your insurance, view estimated session costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
