Originally from New York City, Inez believes that self-awareness is the cornerstone of change. Her therapeutic approach emphasizes that “you can’t change what you don’t see,” and she is committed to helping her clients gain the insight necessary to make meaningful progress. Together, you will explore what is holding you back, and she will guide you through the process of addressing and changing the things you wish to improve. Inez utilizes a variety of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed Therapy, tailoring her approach to each client’s unique needs. Whether you are struggling with mental health challenges, substance use, or family dynamics, Inez is here to support you with empathy and clinical expertise.

She earned her Master’s in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University, where she cultivated a passion for helping others create lasting change in their lives.

Receptionist was helpful and friendly, greeting me upon arrival and taking time to answer any questions. The Counselor, Inez Porter, was friendly and welcoming as well. I felt at ease while we talked about my past history and present circumstances. I did not feel as I was being judged or treated wrongly, but respected. I found my Counselor!
