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.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.

Monica Pitek-Fugedi
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, CCATP
Therapy is a unique experience. As such, I work with you to develop treatment goals and strategies that will best work for you. I take the time to get to know you and learn about your history so that we can establish a rapport. I believe that no significant change happens without a significant relationship. Therefore, my goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment for you to feel open to sharing your story.
I work from perspective of understanding and change. As such, I will support you in helping you to understand your self-defeating beliefs, relationship patterns, and the stories that you tell yourself that create your rules for living. I will help you to challenge and reframe thoughts so that you can live your most empowered life.
I work with cognitive-behavioral, acceptance, and commitment, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) practices to help you manage anxiety and life obstacles. I am also trained in EMDR, which has been proven to be effective in helping those who have experienced trauma.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we find ourselves far from where we want to be or struggling to feel the happiness we deserve. Therapy provides a valuable opportunity to reflect, gain clarity, and work toward the life you envision. It’s truly a privilege to help my clients navigate their struggles and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. If you're ready to take that step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
