How can we support you?

How we're different
We are a cooperative.
That means shared ownership, shared responsibility, and shared care. Our therapists co-regulate with each other and make decisions collectively, ensuring our clients benefit from an ecosystem of support rather than only a single provider.
We validate your reality.
Our work is not just about helping you cope with your thoughts. It’s about naming the systems and addressing intergenerational history that impacts you and walking with you as you find your own point of empowerment.
We serve as we are.
We are resisters and show up as full humans, not as experts perched above our clients. This opens up a level of vulnerability and trust that many clients have never experienced in mental health care.
We provide barrier-free support.
Whether that means offering sliding scale options, telehealth sessions, peer referrals, or cultural congruence in care, we strive to make healing accessible, affirming, and non-pathologizing.
Where we started...
As the first cooperatively owned therapy practice in Michigan, Imani ya Kupinga (IYK) operates from a model that values liberation, justice, collective care, and non-hierarchical relationships. Our therapists are not only providers; many are also worker-owners who co-create the structure and vision of the practice enabling accountability to each other, our clients, and the communities we serve.
We know what it’s like to navigate systems that were never built with us in mind because we’ve lived it, too. Therefore, we intentionally disrupt the idea that therapists must be authoritarian, prescriptive or detached from society or our clients to be effective. Instead, we show up with authenticity, transparency, and care. Our clients see humans who are willing to be present and real with them.
How we've helped
My therapy experience with Kenny Rose has been one incomparable to any other health professional i’ve ever seen. he is carefully considerate, patient, understanding & willing to work with whatever your needs are. Kenny takes initiative to learning YOU. it was based on a personal recommendation that i started seeing Kenny & he definitely has mine.

I’ve been seeing Rachel for over six years, and she has made a huge difference in my life. When I first started working with her, I was struggling with intense anxiety and couldn’t sleep. I had tried other therapists before but never found anyone who truly clicked with me until Rachel.
What stands out about Rachel is her ability to adapt to what I need in the moment. Some weeks, I just need someone to listen—and she gives me that space without judgment. Other times, I need a real conversation or practical guidance, and she shifts effortlessly into that role. She’s used meditation and CBT techniques to help me build tools that I can actually use when my anxiety spikes.
Therapy with Rachel never feels like a chore—it feels like a meaningful conversation with someone who genuinely cares and has the expertise to help. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her all those years ago, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and effective.
