Lisa Kruman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience providing therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families in the Metro Detroit area.

A Career Built on Meaningful Work
Lisa’s clinical background spans a wide range of settings that have shaped her into a thoughtful, experienced, and versatile therapist.
Early in her career, she worked in the Burn Center and Spinal Cord Injury Unit at Detroit Receiving Hospital — an experience that gave her a profound understanding of trauma, resilience, and the emotional dimensions of serious physical illness. She went on to serve as a therapist at The Children’s Home of Detroit, a residential treatment facility for children and teens with significant emotional challenges, and later in outpatient settings at Eastwood Clinic and Davis Counseling Center in Farmington Hills.
During her time at Davis Counseling Center, Lisa also authored a monthly advice column for the Observer and Eccentric Newspaper, bringing mental health guidance to the broader Metro Detroit community.
For more than 25 years, she has maintained a private practice in West Bloomfield, Michigan, where she continues to work with individuals, couples, and families from across the Metro Detroit area.
