Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I believe mental health is just as essential as physical health. Just as we care for our bodies, we deserve the same attention and compassion for our emotional well-being. Therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level, finding clarity, and making space for your story to be seen and heard. Every person has a unique journey shaped by their experiences, relationships, and inner world. I see therapy as a space where you can explore that journey without judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to walk alongside you as you make sense of where you’ve been and where you want to go. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I work to create a supportive, open environment where you can feel safe to be yourself, reflect on your patterns, and begin to grow in ways that feel meaningful to you. Your story matters. I’m here to help you uncover the strength, insight, and resilience that’s already within you. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical practice, mental health advocacy, and trauma-informed care. My professional experience includes working in an inpatient behavioral health hospital, where I supported individuals experiencing acute mental health crises in a highly structured and intensive care setting. I also spent time in community mental health, providing services to individuals living with severe and persistent mental illnesses, helping them navigate complex challenges with compassion and consistency. In addition, I’ve provided individual counseling through a nonprofit agency, offering support to clients from diverse backgrounds as they worked through issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.

“Live simply so others may simply live.” – Mahatma Gandhi I believe therapy is a relationship experience between client and counselor. I, as a counselor, am an expert in my field and my client is an expert of themselves. My approach to therapy stems from the belief that client and counselor work best together as a team, to help uncover the core beliefs and traits taught to us as children and young adults. I incorporate empathy and unconditional positive regard into each of my sessions, to work towards connection and understanding of one another and one’s self. I have experience working in both partial hospitalization program and outpatient settings. My experience stems from working with children and teens with autism, to working with adults with severe anxiety and depression. I have experience working as a mentor of juveniles, as well as a professional in the foster care system. My experience allows for me to keep an open mind when going into the therapy setting, to better understand my clients and their individual backgrounds.

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” – George Eliot I approach therapy as a collaborative journey, one where I join you as a supportive partner in navigating life’s challenges.

My style is best described as an integrative blend, primarily drawing from humanistic and person-centered principles. This means our sessions are always focused squarely on you, guided by your goals and pace. I also weave in techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills and incorporate aspects of mindfulness to help you stay grounded and present. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Spring Arbor University, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical practice, mental health advocacy, and trauma-informed care. My professional experience includes working in community mental health, where I support individuals experiencing mental health crises in a highly structured and intensive care setting also providing case management, ensuring that the clients I provided service to have the best care possible. I also spent 12 years working in foster care, offering support to clients from diverse backgrounds as they worked through issues such as past trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am the mother of three children and the grandmother to two beautiful girls. I enjoy spending time with my family sharing food and laughter.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma can show up in ways that feel overwhelming or hard to untangle—especially during periods of major life change. I’m Vivian, and I focus on providing a steady, reliable space for you to slow down and reflect. My approach centers on creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable being completely open about your experiences, helping you make sense of what you’ve been carrying while moving toward something more manageable. I’ve always believed that even in the middle of a difficult season, there is a path toward clarity if we are willing to look for it together. As a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) with a background in both clinical training and behavioral health, I bring a practical and observant approach to the healing process. My experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has taught me the value of focusing on progress over perfection—celebrating small wins while making plenty of room for the real-life challenges that come with growth. I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples and groups, which has given me a broad understanding of how we relate to one another and ourselves. Whether we meet in person or virtually, my goal is to help you build the practical coping strategies and emotional insight you need to navigate life with more balance. I often think of my role as providing an objective mirror when things feel cloudy, helping you find your own internal compass. I am dedicated to being a consistent presence in your corner, offering the tools and encouragement needed to help you move from a place of surviving to a place of true confidence and calm.
Navigating the world can be stressful and our stress responses can impact us on multiple levels. As a therapist, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is trauma-informed AND resilience-informed, moving people from a place of despair to hope. I have experience working with those navigating anxiety/depression, stress and burnout, grief, and trauma. While trauma and stress may be ever-present, I invite you to consider what else is also true. Cultivating resilience helps build the capacity to hold the complexities of life, and integrating the mind and body allows one to respond intentionally and live more fully. Approaching the therapeutic journey with curiosity and intention, I utilize a creative and holistic approach to work collaboratively with people ready to experience a change. I offer empathetic and client-centered counseling that helps one find deepened awareness, compassion, connection, and movement toward resilient transformation. I honor the sacredness of this work and the client-therapist relationship. I seek to create an inclusive brave/safe space for you to explore your concerns with curiosity, acceptance, and compassion. Regardless of what you bring into the room, I am committed to taking the journey with you, and welcome the opportunity to join you in this work.
