Hour Detroit: Seeking Support (Top Docs Issue)

A Milwaukee native, Stefani Goerlich moved to Detroit 20 years ago and has since become a “die-hard Detroiter.” Before studying human service, social work, and sex therapy, Goerlich began her mental health care career as a victim advocate for sexual assault survivors, providing crisis intervention and advocacy for adults and kids. She primarily has worked with people impacted by trauma ranging from domestic violence and sexual assault to human trafficking. Her clients often come to her to work through self-image, gender dysphoria, LGBTQ+ needs, and polyamory and kink-affirming relationship counseling. “As a Jew, I am a big believer in the concept of Tikkun Olam, the repair of the world,” she says. “I have worked almost exclusively with folks impacted by trauma. Being present, bearing witness to suffering, and doing what I can to mitigate that pain is something I consider to be a life's calling.”
