ABOUT US

Medication Management Team

Lindsay-Rose Dykema, MD, MPH
(she/her/hers)

I work with adults with mood disorders, psychotic disorders, anxiety/trauma-related disorders, and substance use disorders. I am a police/prison abolitionist and am especially interested in working with Detroiters who have had ties to the criminal injustice system (including all forms of state violence — police brutality, incarceration, probation/parole). Telehealth and in-person sessions available.

I identify as queer, and my practice will always be a safe and affirming space for the LGBTQ community.

Psychotherapy Team

Joanna Karner, LMSW, CAADC
(she/her/hers)

I am a clinical social worker with a passion for collaborating with clients as they work towards their well-being goals while also addressing the systemic oppressions impacting their lives. I have an interest in working with the LGBTQ community, those who have been harmed by the criminal injustice system and those with a complex trauma history.

I have worked as a case manager, therapist and program coordinator in a variety of settings including small non-profit organizations and Community Mental Health.

My areas of specialization are working with adults who have mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, psychotic disorders and substance use disorders. I am DBT trained and I incorporate a great deal of mindfulness practice into my approach with clients. My clinical approach will always be trauma-informed with an emphasis on client empowerment and promoting resilience.

I love to practice yoga, foster dogs, read books and hang out with my loved ones.
