Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
I work with adults who feel worn down by trauma, spiritual or religious harm, and identity-related stress. Many clients arrive feeling “functional” but internally stuck in fear, shutdown, shame, or exhaustion. My office is a place to bring the real story without needing to minimize it.
I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who blends psychotherapy with careful, collaborative medication support when useful. Sessions often include parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR principles, with practical skills from ACT to help you move toward values, not just symptom control. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and people recovering from SOGICE experiences with special care and respect. We move at your pace and build change meant to last.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.

Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Do you ever lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, or wishing you could take care of everyone without feeling so depleted? Maybe you move through your days on autopilot, doing everything you’re “supposed” to do, yet still feeling an ache inside. You want to slow down, feel more present and experience real moments of connection and joy. But no matter how hard you try, something still feels off. You just want to know that you’re going to be okay.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s keeping you up at night and what patterns aren’t serving you anymore. You’ll have a warm, grounded space to bring your worries, your exhaustion, your questions and the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden. I’ll meet you there. With care, honesty, and the kind of support that lets you show up exactly as you are.
In our work, you’ll begin to reconnect with your inner steadiness, soften the fear and self-doubt that keep you stuck, strengthen the relationships that matter and make room for more ease and clarity.
Sessions are available by video or phone, making it simple to get the support you need. If this resonates, I’d love to talk. You can reach out through my website or give me a call. I look forward to connecting.

Lyz Luidens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
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.
