Murphy Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Trauma can affect far more than memories—it can shape how you experience your body, relationships, emotions, safety, and sense of self. Using evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, I help clients process traumatic experiences, understand survival responses, reduce avoidance and trauma-related symptoms, and move toward a life that is no longer organized around what happened to them.

Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviors, and feelings of safety long after an event has ended. Our practice provides compassionate, trauma-informed trauma counseling and PTSD therapy for individuals who have experienced abuse, violence, sexual trauma, relationship trauma, childhood trauma, traumatic loss, or other distressing life experiences.
Symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may include intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, irritability, difficulty trusting others, sleep problems, relationship difficulties, or feeling constantly on guard.
Our clinicians help clients understand trauma responses, identify triggers, develop healthier coping and emotional regulation skills, strengthen feelings of safety, and process difficult experiences at an appropriate pace. Our approach to trauma therapy and PTSD counseling recognizes that each client's experiences and recovery needs are unique.
Whether you are struggling with recent trauma or experiences that occurred many years ago, our goal is to provide a supportive therapeutic environment where you can work toward healing, greater emotional stability, healthier relationships, and an improved quality of life.

New Perspective Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LMSW, MA, LPC
Events that occurred years may affect us in the here and now, and sometimes we don’t even consciously recognize what caused these reactions in the first place. When you experience trauma, it’s as though that moment is frozen in time. In some ways it does, the trauma may get stuck in an unconcsious part of the brain but show itself in different ways, including various mental health issues. Our therapists provide trauma informed care, however, sometimes talking does not work with trauma or can even make it worse. That is why many of our therapists are trained in brain-based trauma intervention such EMDR, Brainspotting. These interventions allow for new neurological pathways to be formed and the trauma to be processed without the need to re-experience the events.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My background as a licensed psychologist and a trauma survivor uniquely positions me to offer compassionate and effective support to individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be abandonment or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. My personal journey through trauma has given me firsthand insight into the complex and often challenging process of healing. This, combined with my education and professional experience, enables me to approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection to my clients' experiences. I believe in the power of resilience and the potential for growth in the face of adversity, and I am dedicated to helping survivors on their path to recovery and empowerment.
With EMDR as my primary treatment modality, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in guiding individuals towards trauma healing. My approach focuses on collaboratively identifying trauma targets for processing while also prioritizing resourcing techniques to reestablish a sense of safety and inner peace. Through EMDR therapy, I help clients transform the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, ultimately freeing them from flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance patterns associated with trauma. My commitment is to support individuals on their journey to reclaim their lives and find lasting relief from the effects of trauma.

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.
