Hi, I'm glad you are here! It is an honor to walk alongside you in the challenges of life. I connect well with teens, young adults, and women facing a wide variety of issues. I have over 10 years of experience working with teens in various settings and over seven years of experience in the mental health field. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan and am a Certified S.A.F.E. EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA.
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.
Hi there! I'm a Clinical Social Worker based in Michigan. I have my master's degree in social work from Eastern Michigan University and I've been a practicing clinician since 2017. Most of my experience includes working with folks struggling with anxiety, depression, more severe mood disorders, and histories of trauma.
