Meet The Team

We all face complex life challenges and deserve a safe, collaborative space to process them. Whether you are managing mental health issues like anxiety or depression, navigating relationship/family dynamics, encountering work stressors, or facing other difficulties, I will meet you where you are, and am here to help.

I bring years of experience supporting LGBTQIA+ folks and provide a deeply validating environment. I work from a multicultural viewpoint and recognize that each individual has their own, unique perspective. I use an integrative framework that blends Mindfulness-based interventions with a range of approaches to help you find the solutions that work best for you.

In addition to working with people needing to find balance in their lives, I have experience working with a wide variety of people struggling with diverse issues. This experience includes survivors of intimate partner violence, survivors of human trafficking, neurodiverse individuals, adult children coping with parental rejection, clients questioning their gender identity and/or sexual orientations, those living with chronic and severe mental health issues (bipolar disorders I and II, schizophrenia).

It would be my honor to be your therapist and I look forward to meeting you soon!

As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe and accepting environment that will allow clients to reflect, heal and grow – wherever they are at in their journey. I actively acknowledge the impact of oppressive systems on mental health and overall wellbeing, especially for those with marginalized identities. I hold the collaborative therapeutic relationship I build with each client at the core of our work together and practice from a strengths-based, liberation centered, intersectional/multidimensional feminist perspective. In sessions, I typically use a combination of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and reflective listening. 

My experiences as a queer, neurodivergent transgender man have shaped the personal and professional values and philosophies that I hold and advocate for. With this, I understand firsthand the importance of holding room for each client’s unique experiences, feelings and

journey and creating a space in which they can not only be their most authentic selves, but also explore difficult, uncomfortable, or sensitive topics as well.

I have worked with clients from various backgrounds, experiences and diagnoses, and have a particular passion for working with individuals who are commonly underrepresented and underserved in mental health spaces. I am currently accepting new clients and am always happy to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call to see if we would be a good fit in working together!

Trevor Phelps is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Michigan.

Trevor is particularly passionate about serving the LGBTQIA+ community.  He is trained in both Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which he uses as an approach to meet the client where they are at, assess their motivation for change, address any barriers the client is facing, and work towards a mutually agreed upon end goal.

Howdy there! I’m proud of you for making the courageous choice to pursue therapy. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I have a profound understanding of the unique challenges and celebrations that come along when navigating this wonderfully diverse spectrum of identities. Although I have only walked parts of this path myself, I am intentional at creating a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can be your authentic self. Having worked extensively with populations struggling with loneliness and isolation, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of human connection. This experience has reinforced my belief that every individual deserves a haven where they can unapologetically be their authentic selves and embark on the empowering journey of exploring their unique stories.

I bring fresh learning experiences and the valuable guidance of dedicated supervisors. My therapeutic approach is firmly rooted in collaboration and a deep respect for your unique needs and desires. I use an integrative approach that draws from various theories, such as person-centered, empowerment, and mindfulness. Ensuring that your journey is guided by evidence-based practices and a genuine commitment to your well-being. My goal is to nurture a therapeutic alliance that empowers you to effectively navigate the obstacles life presents, foster your resilience, and uncover the innate strengths that reside within you.

Your well-being is at the forefront of our work together, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

My Name is Lucas(they/them), and I want to give a warm welcome to all. Let’s make space for who you truly are - free of judgment and full of compassion. These are simple yet key pieces to ensure a trusting therapeutic relationship and are foundational for a person centered and strengths based approach. If you're navigating anxiety, depression, or trying to reconnect with

your passions and sense of self, you're not alone– and you don't have to figure it all out on your own. I believe there is no better expert than you when it comes to your experiences, your goals and what living your best life looks like. In my years of practice I have had the privilege to work with women, queer folks, neurodivergent individuals(ADHD, Autism), moms, dads, creatives,

students and thoughtful “manly men” ready to step out of isolation and into something more fulfilling. My clients often feel deeply, think critically, and crave real connection– not just symptom relief, but a life that feels authentic, joyful, and aligns with who they are. If that sounds like you, you have come to the right spot!

I’m a therapist who shows up as a real person — grounded, curious, and here for your lived experience. It’s important to me to lead with an anti-racist framework that engages in constant cultural humility and that acknowledges the intergenerational and current trauma faced by marginalized populations. I also implement a mix of Humanistic, and mindfulness based approaches, including Compassion-Focused CBT, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-based work. I love metaphors, meaningful conversations, and helping clients tap into their inner child, creativity, and core values. I especially enjoy working with women and fems, queer clients, neurodivergent folks, college-age youth, middle aged men, and people in academic and creative fields. Clients who work with me often notice a boost in confidence, stronger relationships, increase in social connection, and a renewed sense of joy. They begin creating again, reinvesting in education, or simply feeling more themselves. Therapy with me isn't about “fixing” you – it's about helping you remember who you've always been.
