Bri Harless

Bri Harless

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Detroit

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Detroit starts with identifying what you're looking for in a provider. You may want someone who specializes in a specific area — like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or experiences related to coming out or gender identity. You may also have preferences around a provider's background, therapy style, or whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they feel like a good match.

Detroit has a wide range of licensed mental health providers, including therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, many of whom have specific training in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Look for providers who clearly identify their experience with LGBTQIA+ concerns in their profiles — this can include work with identity exploration, minority stress, family dynamics, and intersecting identities. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge whether a provider is the right fit before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Detroit can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
