Specialized therapy to help brain injury survivors, chronic pain patients, and veterans get back to themselves. In person in Rochester Hills, MI and virtually across Michigan. Auto insurance accepted.
Maybe you’re here because something happened and nothing has felt right since.
You might be wondering why you’re reacting differently, feeling more overwhelmed, or not recognizing yourself.
Whether you went through an accident, live with constant pain, or feel like your life is getting harder to manage, you deserve support that actually understands what this feels like.
Therapy at Lumen Psychological Services is a place where you don’t have to explain everything perfectly to be taken seriously.
You do not have to be in crisis to deserve real support. And you do not have to have it all figured out before you reach out. You’re dealing with something real and it makes sense that it feels this hard.
A free call to figure out whether Lumen is the right fit. No pressure or paperwork. Just an honest conversation.
We focus on real life impact, not labels. These are the experiences people come in with.
Most rehab psychologists take a clinical, behavioral approach. Evidence-based, yes. But often cold, rigid, and disconnected from the person sitting in the room. We work differently.
At Lumen, we show up at the care team meeting. We coordinate with your occupational therapist, your speech therapist, your case manager, and whoever else is in the room. We return the call. We stay involved in your recovery from every direction, not just the one hour a week you are sitting across from us. That model is nearly unheard of in private practice. It is the standard here.
Our team brings doctoral level training, VA residency experience, and deep specialization in brain injury, chronic pain, trauma, and veteran care. Our approaches are clinically proven and evidence-based. And they are delivered with the kind of warmth, presence, and genuine investment that most people in this specialty never experience from a provider.
Our mission is to give people who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told nothing is wrong a kind of care that actually meets them where they are. We treat brain injury, chronic pain, trauma, and the toll that comes with all three, using methods that are evidence based and delivered with real presence. We show up, we stay involved, and we treat you like a whole person, not a diagnosis.
We want rehab psychology to look different than it does now. Not cold. Not rushed. Not confined to one hour a week, disconnected from the rest of your care team. We are working toward a model where mental health care and physical recovery are treated as one process, not two separate systems that never talk to each other.
This work is personal. I chose it because I watched someone I love relearn what it means to be themselves.
We start by understanding what changed, what you are dealing with, and what matters most to you.
We work through patterns, reactions, and pain so you can regain control and clarity.
You build a life that feels stable, meaningful, and aligned with who you are now.
Can't find what you're looking for?
We would rather answer it now than have you sit with uncertainty. Reach out and a real person will get back to you within one to two business days.
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, and Michigan no fault auto insurance. If your mental health needs stem from an auto accident, Michigan no fault law may cover your care in full with no copay and no deductible. Private pay is also available. Not sure what applies to your situation? Ask us and we will walk you through it.
No. Brain injury, chronic pain, and trauma are our deepest specialties, but Lumen works with anyone navigating significant emotional, physical, or psychological challenges. Many of the people we work with do not have a formal diagnosis at all. If you are not sure whether we are the right fit, reach out. We will be direct with you.
Reach out by phone or through our referral contact form. We return calls promptly, accept auto-funded referrals, and participate in care team meetings throughout the treatment relationship. If you have a patient who needs a psychologist who will actually show up at the table, that is what we do. No phone tree. No delays. A real person will get back to you.
Michigan is a no fault auto state, which means people injured in auto accidents may be eligible for unlimited mental health treatment covered through their auto insurance at no out-of-pocket cost. Lumen accepts auto insurance and has experience working within that system. If a case manager is already involved in your care, we coordinate directly. You do not have to navigate the insurance piece alone.
We offer a free consultation call for exactly that reason. It is your chance to get a real sense of who we are and how we work before committing to anything. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you toward someone who is.
Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) is an evidence-based treatment developed for people experiencing persistent pain even when imaging and tests come back clear. The research shows that pain can live in learned neural pathways, not only in structural damage, and that those pathways can change. Lumen is one of very few private practices in Michigan explicitly offering EAET. If you have been told the tests are normal but you are still in pain, this may be exactly what you have been looking for.
Both. We offer in-person sessions at our Rochester Hills, Michigan office and virtual therapy across the state. Many clients use a combination of both depending on their schedule and mobility. We will figure out what works best for your situation.
Yes. Dr. Azzow completed her residency at the VA, one of the most rigorous training environments for trauma and military mental health in the country. She has significant experience with PTSD, the way service shapes how people carry pain, and the specific ways veterans seek and engage with help. Our approach is direct, results-focused, and free of judgment.
Whether you are reaching out for yourself, for a family member, or to refer a patient, we make it simple. Our team responds within one to two business days and your first consultation is free. There is no pressure to move forward until it feels right.
