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.

Gayle Clark
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW (OK), LMSW (MI)
Do you feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, struggling to communicate your needs, or questioning your own experiences? Maybe you’ve felt dismissed, manipulated, or controlled - told you’re overreacting or too sensitive. Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of a toxic relationship, emotional wounds from the past, or uncertainty about how to move forward, you don’t have to go through it alone.
Healing is possible, and together, we can help you regain your sense of self, build healthier relationships, and create a life that aligns with your values. If you’re feeling trapped in emotional pain or recurring patterns, I also offer EMDR therapy, which can be a powerful tool to help you process and move forward.
I work with clients who are ready to take an honest look at what’s holding them back - even if past therapy hasn’t brought the results they were hoping for. If you're ready for meaningful change, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to get started. I offer online therapy throughout Oklahoma with flexible scheduling and immediate availability.

Sterling Heights is Macomb County's largest city and home to one of the largest Chaldean (Iraqi Christian) communities in the United States, as well as significant Arab-American, South Asian, and Eastern European populations, making it one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Michigan with correspondingly diverse therapy needs. Culturally competent and Arabic-speaking therapists are in significant demand, particularly for clients navigating immigration trauma, intergenerational family conflict between Chaldean community norms and American culture, and the mental health challenges of communities that have experienced significant displacement and loss. Henry Ford Health System and Ascension hospitals in the area provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves those who can access it. Common therapy concerns include immigration and displacement trauma, intergenerational family dynamics, acculturation stress, anxiety, depression, and the complex identity challenges of communities maintaining strong cultural and religious traditions in a new country.
