(he/him)
Hello, I am a Clinical Therapist and Epidemiologist. I started college at the age of 14. Since then, I have attended 3 prestigious universities. I have developed curriculum for several states in thousands of schools. I have been a children's, courts, school, outpatient, and substance abuse therapist. I love all populations, people, ages, and lifestyles. My purpose is to help and grow my clients. I will learn from you just like you will learn from me, this is a partnership. I have a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, Master of Social Work, and a Master of Medicine in Public Health from Wayne State University School of Medicine. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, and my specialty is Clinical (LMSW-C). I would love to help you process, restore, understand, replenish, and grow your world.
Our first session will consist of: reviewing completed paperwork, introducing ourselves to one another, a quick look into your social circles, reviewing your symptoms, you sharing any pertinent information, discussing previous mental health experiences, reviewing medications, completing mental health assessments, discussing hopes and outcomes for treatment, receiving some insight into your diagnosis, scheduling our next appointment, and reviewing your experience.
I have a huge personality and I have experienced a lot of life at a young age. This allows me to offer judgement free and insightful care while facilitating a safe and fun environment.

The session with Mr. Proge went really well. For the first time, I felt truly heard, seen, and understood. His sense of humor came through in a way that made the experience feel like a deep, genuine conversation rather than a typical session. He’s very direct and doesn’t sugarcoat things, but he remains open and collaborative, even when you’re not completely sure how to express your thoughts. I’m really looking forward to my next session with him.

Elijah feels like a perfect fit , I do better with therapist I can see as a peer, it makes it feel less “sterile” and helps me open up more
