Navigate postpartum changes with evidence-based care in Detroit. Headway's network of warm, affirming providers offers flexible talk therapy and medication management tailored to postpartum mental health concerns, helping you find the right fit for your needs and budget.
Hi, my name is Melissa and I am a Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience providing therapy to adolescents and adults ages 12 and older. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and utilizes evidence-based approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients process experiences, reduce distress, and move toward meaningful change. I am also inquisitive and a conversationalist.
Many people reach out for counseling when life feels heavier than usual—when relationships are strained, emotions feel harder to manage, or when they feel overwhelmed with grief. for more than a decade, I have been helping families and individuals of all ages to cope, process and navigate around these issues. My goal is to offer a space where you do not have to hold all of that alone.
Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and your future self will thank you for showing yourself kindness today. My name is Renee. I graduated from University of Southern California School of Social Work in 2014. I specialize in working with individuals carrying the weight of significant trauma, addictions, unresolved grief, and painful life experiences that can feel isolating or overwhelming. I support those who struggle with trust after unhealthy relationships, major life transitions, or who have turned to alcohol or other substances to cope with emotional pain.
I also work with individuals healing from addiction, substance use, and mental health challenges, and I have experience supporting military families as they navigate the unique barriers of having a loved one in the military, as well as serving Veterans. My goal is to offer a supportive space for healing, connection, and meaningful change.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Circle of Life Wellness Services, where I provide compassionate, whole-person care for adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My work focuses on supporting people through emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the many adjustments that come with different seasons of life.
I have a special interest in women’s mental health and maternal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustments, caregiving stress, burnout, and balancing personal needs with family, relationships and professional responsibilities. I also support clients coping with grief and loss, life changes, and feeling “stuck” or disconnected from themselves.
At Circle of Life, I believe healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and seen. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move toward balance, clarity, and emotional wellness—at your own pace.
I am a mental health professional who integrates evidence based practices with a Christ Like worldview to support healing, growth, restoration and transformation. True wellness and stability includes all aspects of the person that includes the mind, body, and spirit, and I strive to create a safe, grace-filled space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I value providing services to help individuals navigate the the challenging journey of life and offer a non judgemental space where clients can be open, vulnerable and honest about any challenges that they may be facing.
I graduated in 2013 from Oakland University with a Master's in Counseling. My undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in English.
I have worked in substance abuse rehab facilities and prison, providing substance abuse counseling in group and individual sessions. I have also worked for community health agencies for different counties in Michigan, doing individual counseling, assisting clients with applying for benefits and providing various resources.
I work with individuals, adults aged 18 plus via telehealth. I work with all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, relationship structures, and religious/non-religious beliefs.

Hello! My name is Andrea. First let me say congratulations in taking a first step and looking into therapy. Mental healthcare IS healthcare, and taking care of yourself is so important. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a Master's degree in Counselor Education with over 5 years of experience. I enjoy working with individuals in every stage of life, and have the most experience working with teens, young adults and older adults. I take great honor in helping clients find empowerment, healing, and clarity.
I offer a judgment-free space where we can work together toward your mental health goals. In our work, we will not just talk through the problems, concerns, or challenges bringing you to therapy. We will also focus on practical tools that can help change how you experience those situations and support you in moving toward a healthier version of yourself. I use a blend of evidence-based treatment approaches that I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I earned my LMSW from Grand Valley State University and have 17 years of experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including outpatient care, the emergency department, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization, along with many other levels of care in between. My additional training includes trauma-informed care, suicide risk assessment and safety planning, and DBT. Clients can expect me to meet them where they are while being empowering, transparent, direct, and focused on helping them reach their treatment goals.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I am originally from Chicago, and I bring both my lived experience and professional training into the work I do. I attended the University of Michigan Ann Arbor for undergraduate and graduate schools. I have a strong clinical background in mental health, working with individuals across a range of experiences and challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I look forward to working with you on your journey.
I listen, provide empathy in a way to make you feel empowered without judgement or negativity.
I work with mothers who are overwhelmed, burnt-out, or tired of juggling it all. For some, the intensity of motherhood brings up difficult emotions or unprocessed parts of their past. Others feel lost under the burden of care-taking and managing the mental load. With compassion and skill, we’ll tend to the parts of you that have been neglected. We’ll develop strategies for prioritizing your needs. We’ll make space for your brilliant light to shine once again!

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right postpartum therapist in Detroit starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression and anxiety are among the most common concerns, but perinatal mental health also includes mood changes during pregnancy, adjustment to parenthood, and relationship shifts after having a baby. A licensed therapist with experience in perinatal mental health care — such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist — can help you work through these concerns. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can also evaluate whether medication management may be appropriate alongside talk therapy.
Detroit has a wide range of mental health providers, but finding one who specializes in postpartum care and accepts your insurance can take time — especially when you're managing the demands of a new baby. Consider what matters most to you in a provider, whether that's their clinical approach, availability for virtual appointments, or experience with specific concerns like postpartum depression or birth-related stress. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Postpartum therapy in Detroit can be expensive without insurance, but in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session 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 a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
