Ciara Shellman
Therapist
I am a passionate and dedicated clinical therapist and PhD-level social worker, deeply committed to empowering individuals on their journey toward mental health and well-being. My career has been driven by a profound belief in the resilience of the human spirit and the power of therapy to transform lives. With extensive experience in both social work and clinical settings, I have developed a therapeutic approach that is compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic, addressing not only psychological needs but also the social and environmental factors influencing my clients' lives.
My practice is rooted in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions, tailored to meet the unique circumstances of each individual I work with. I am particularly attuned to the complexities of navigating life's challenges in the face of systemic barriers, drawing on my research and professional experiences to offer nuanced support.
I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that is safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental, where clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their personal growth. My mission is to provide accessible, high-quality mental health services that encourage healing, resilience, and a deeper understanding of self, leveraging the power of online therapy to reach those in need, wherever they may be.

Lyz Luidens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LLMSW
Therapy is a brave step in the process of navigating life’s current challenges and healing past wounds in a safe environment. I offer a unique and compassionate perspective to therapy, employing IFS/parts work, Somatic strategies, and Psychodynamic methods, while drawing on the transformative power of curiosity and creativity as impactful tools for healing and growth. As a genderqueer person and 10 year resident of the city of Detroit, I recognize that oppressive systems contribute to mental health disparities among marginalized groups.
Combining my extensive experience teaching art across all age groups, my Master’s in Social Work, and my experience as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I work from a feminist, anti-racist, perspective.
Working with children (ages 6 and up), teens, and adults, my commitment to inclusivity includes LGBTQIA+ issues, disability, trauma, ADHD, autism, depression, and anxiety. I am here to provide a compassionate therapeutic experience for you to explore your narrative, embrace your strengths, and foster resilience, hope, and joy.
Informed by an intersectional lens, my approach is grounded in equality and empowerment, addressing the impact of all parts of your identity on how you navigate the world and approach growth and healing. I will support you in navigating these complex experiences and identities through empowerment, using Psychodynamic, Somatic, and Internal Family Systems methods. I am affirming of all queer, chronically ill/disabled, and neurodivergent identities, and always continuing my education on the liberation of all people, whether I have shared experience with them or not.
I have particular experience and understanding of the difficulty that neurodivergent, queer, and chronically ill people face in navigating our healthcare system, job market, and social world. I am also well versed in religious trauma, particularly experienced by queer people. Though these are my areas of focus, I am here to affirm and empower anyone looking for support navigating mental health issues, life changes, issues with self worth, trauma, and anything anything that you are struggling to process on your own. I am honored to walk beside on your journey towards healing, growth, and joy.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in EMDR therapy to help individuals heal from trauma and narcissistic abuse, and to return to a place of self-love and emotional balance. Experiences of childhood physical, emotional or sexual abuse can remain stuck in the body, as can instances of narcissistic abuse. These have the potential to contribute to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hypervigilance as well as problems successfully navigating relationships and managing daily living. I utilize EMDR therapy to change the way these negative memories are stored in the brain, and help you achieve a place of resolution and peace. As a neuropsychologist, I can help you condition your thoughts and rewire your brain for happiness and success.

Antonio Cordero
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, Ed.M.
Have you focused so hard on achieving success, that you neglect to examine your own needs? Do you recognize that trauma from your childhood still impacts how you engage with the world today? Are you seeking a therapeutic space that acknowledges you as a whole, complex person while you work towards your goals? As your therapist, I feel passionate about empowering you with tools to live a full, cognizant, and rewarding life.
As a Boston University Counseling graduate with a specialization in Sport Psychology, I work with clients committed to both well-being and performance optimization. My extensive training in Brainspotting for trauma, CBT, DBT, and Polyvagal Theory gives me integrated, evidence-based tools to address performance, trauma, addiction, mood, and anxiety concerns.
In our therapeutic work, we will develop an authentic relationship that balances challenges and support as we establish a collaborative partnership tailored to your goals and needs. I will work hard at building flexible, comfortable, and intentional plans of action to guide and encourage you as you pursue your unique therapeutic goals.
