She completed her PhD in Counseling Psychology at Wayne State University, as well as dual master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy. Liza works with individuals, families, and groups across a range of presenting issues. Outside of Trinity, Liza is an award-winning researcher at Wayne State University, focusing on remaining up to date on the most current findings concerning how to best help her clients in therapy.

Finding the right therapist for you or your child can be a real challenge. As a clinician with a doctorate in psychology and master’s degrees in two other psychological fields, Liza is confident that her practice goes above and beyond to offer the best possible services to her clients. Liza’s clinical work is further guided by her ongoing research career at Wayne State University, ensuring that her clients receive cutting-edge and up-to-date therapies. As a therapist, she combines over 10 years of research experience with a collaborative approach that centers you as the expert on your lived experience, and herself as a guide and facilitator for your self-exploration, recovery, and empowerment.

Liza particularly specializes in: 1) working with older teens/young adults to navigate this transitional life stage, and 2) the unique dynamics of women's and men's mental health. That said, she has extensive experience working with children and adults of all ages. She is experienced in treating a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, self-esteem concerns, and relationship concerns.

​Therapy is a unique and special partnership—and Dr. Hinchey is committed to offering nothing but the highest-quality services to her clients. If you’d like to learn more about her practice and/or talk about how therapy can work for you, please feel free to reach out to her anytime.

​Liza’s specific areas of experience and expertise are:

Young Adult Transitions

Having worked extensively in university counseling centers, Liza specializes in helping young adults navigate this transitional period of their lives. Whether that transition is into a college environment or otherwise, the early adult years present unique challenges, and she provides support for her clients throughout that process.

Women’s Mental Health

Both in her therapy practice and academically as a researcher at Wayne State University, Liza is passionate about guiding women towards a greater sense of personal empowerment. Through the therapeutic process, she focuses on helping women gain insight, create positive belief systems, and increase both their self-confidence and self-love.

Anxiety and Depression

Two of the most common, yet emotionally isolating struggles that affect people today, Liza is experienced in treating anxiety and depression in all age groups. She is trained in a wide range of skills and therapeutic techniques that help her clients heal and gain freedom from these concerns.

Children and Adolescents

Liza also specializes in counseling children and adolescents, and greatly enjoys providing them with creative, healthy ways to process their emotions.
