I received my Master's degree in Counseling from Barry University in Florida. Since I graduated, I have worked with a wide variety of populations, from severely emotionally disturbed children to adults experiencing addiction. I believe clients who are experiencing any disruption to their identity, whether that be the transition to adulthood, retirement, or even towards the end of life, are the clients I work best with. I am a firm advocate for creating safe spaces for any population that is critically underserved and have seen the positive outcomes that come from a client feeling seen and heard.

My name is Dr. Llena Carter. I am originally from the southside of Chicago. I have lived in four different states and traveled to over 40; including teaching/traveling abroad for multiple summers. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have a breadth of experience. I see therapy as a sacred space where trust and nonjudgment are essential. I am specifically passionate about providing support for persons of color and oppressed populations where therapy may be otherwise stigmatized. I would be honored to walk, even a small part of your journey, with you.

In my 20-plus years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals, families as well as with couples and groups. My experience has stemmed from a variety of settings including domestic violence shelters, psychiatric units, juvenile detention centers, college campuses and private practice. Consulting work has included Suicide Prevention, DEI trainings, Intergroup Dialogue, and Groups geared toward de-stigmatizing mental wellness for communities of color. All are welcome here.

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.
