Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Highly sensitive people often experience the world more intensely: emotionally, physically and relationally. I help HSPs understand their wiring, reduce overwhelm, navigate stress and embrace their sensitivity as a strength rather than a burden. Together we work on emotional regulation, boundary-setting and creating a life that honors your sensory and emotional needs. My approach is gentle, validating and tailored to the unique experiences of highly sensitive adults.

Smee Wellness LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, LCMHC
If you've been told you're "too much" or "too sensitive," your sensitivity is actually a strength that the world hasn't always known how to hold. We work on honoring your depth of feeling while building boundaries and coping tools that help you thrive instead of burn out.

I support highly sensitive persons through the use of reframing, and by encouraging the strengthening of boundaries as well as development of distress tolerance.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

Detroit's decades of economic decline and deindustrialization have left deep marks on community mental health, with therapists frequently specializing in grief, economic trauma, and rebuilding resilience in the face of systemic change. The city has a proud and tight-knit African American community, and culturally affirming therapists who address racial trauma, intergenerational stress, and community healing are in strong demand. Detroit's revitalizing neighborhoods are also attracting a new generation of young professionals and creatives, creating parallel demand for therapists specializing in identity, career transitions, and relationships. Henry Ford Health and the Detroit Medical Center provide major institutional mental health services.
