Therapist in Troy, MI

Picture a weeknight in Troy. One of you is still answering email after a long day in an office off Big Beaver Road, the other is juggling homework, dinner and a video call with family overseas. Nobody is fighting, exactly. You are just running on parallel tracks, and it has been a while since either of you felt really heard.

If that sounds familiar, you are in the right place. Iryna Morhunova-Sutton, LLMFT, is based in Troy, Michigan, and sees individuals, couples and families online only, from Troy and anywhere else in the state. This page is also a practical local guide for anyone looking for a therapist in Troy, MI, whoever you end up working with.

Born abroad, working from home: what Troy’s numbers show

Troy is Oakland County’s most populous city, with about 87,900 residents in the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. Four figures set it apart from the rest of Michigan. Nearly one resident in three (30.9 percent) was born outside the United States, more than four times the statewide share of 7.2 percent and more than double Oakland County’s 13.3 percent. About 64.8 percent of adults 25 and older hold at least a bachelor’s degree, twice the Michigan rate. The median household income, $120,045, runs about 23 percent above the county’s $97,760. And 22.5 percent of workers do their jobs from home, compared with 13.5 percent statewide.

Family life is central as well: 57.8 percent of residents 15 and older are married, against 50.5 percent across the county, and only 6.4 percent are divorced. About 34.4 percent of residents age 5 and over speak a language other than English at home. Asian Indian, Chinese and Korean residents are among the largest groups the Census counts here, alongside residents of Iraqi and Assyrian/Chaldean/Syriac heritage.

None of this says anything about how a particular household is doing. It describes the setting a therapist here has to understand: long-married couples, globally connected families, and home offices where work and family share the same walls.

Two careers, three generations, one calendar

In daily life, those numbers show up as schedules. A couple might both work for companies along the Big Beaver corridor, or one might log on from a spare bedroom while the other commutes; the average commute is about 24 minutes. Grandparents may live in the house, a few streets away or twelve time zones away. Parenting habits carried from two countries meet at the same dinner table, and so do two families’ ideas about what a good marriage looks like.

Those are not problems in themselves. They are the ordinary material of family life in Troy, and they are worth naming when you choose help. A therapist who is curious about culture, faith and extended family will usually be easier to talk to than one who treats them as background noise, so it is fair to ask about that directly in a first call.

Troy’s therapist count, per resident

In the federal NPI Registry, 30 records with the marriage and family therapist taxonomy list a Troy practice location (25 of them individual clinicians), as of October 7, 2026. That works out to about 3.4 records per 10,000 residents, double Oakland County’s overall rate of about 1.7 and more than three times Michigan’s rate of about 1.0. An NPI record does not prove a current license, and counselors, social workers and psychologists see couples and families too, so read the count as a sign of real choice rather than a precise census. Many of those local practices see clients in person; Iryna does not.

To sort the options, our plain-language guide to therapist credentials explains how the different licenses are trained, and this walkthrough of Michigan’s free license lookup takes about five minutes. If the concern is your relationship, the Troy couples therapy guide goes deeper on options for partners.

Oakland County help lines Troy residents can call

Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) is the county’s public behavioral health system. Its Access line, 248-464-6363, helps residents find services, and its crisis line, 888-238-0611, answers around the clock by call, chat or text. OCHN now runs crisis services itself, so older directories that list a different county crisis number are out of date.

A few other local doors are worth knowing. Jewish Family Service of Metro Detroit (248-592-2313) offers mental health services and support groups. Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan (855-882-2736) provides counseling for marital, family and blended-family concerns. HAVEN (248-334-1274) is Oakland County’s domestic violence and sexual assault organization. NAMI Metro runs education and support groups for families, and Michigan 211 (dial 211 or text your ZIP code to 898211) connects residents with help for housing, food and bills.

A Troy-based therapist who meets only by video

Iryna is based in Troy, but she has no office and offers no in-person sessions. Troy clients meet her the same way clients in Marquette or Monroe do: by secure video, from a private room at home, which may be the same spare bedroom that serves as an office from nine to five. That can help when two careers and a school calendar leave no spare hour for driving. You need to be physically in Michigan for each session; our page on online therapy in Michigan explains how it works.

Her approach is collaborative and compassionate. As she puts it, therapy “is not about fixing you.”
