Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Hello my name is Maureen, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of psychotherapy experience, and everyone is welcome in my practice. I live in Lapeer County, Michigan and have strong ties to Detroit and surrounding area. My therapy practice is via telehealth. I’ve worked with people who have had a wide range of challenges and who needed the help of a compassionate and skilled therapist. Because of my many years of working with a very diverse population of people, I’ve been able to create a very eclectic style that I believe takes the best of each therapy model and am able to create a very tailored treatment for each person who allows me to help them on their journey. I help people to recognize and utilize their strengths and believe that people have the best answers for themselves and need to learn how to find them and use them for their continued growth. I love using interventions that combine supportive and goal directed strategies as well as focusing on the mind-body connection. My favorite form of therapy is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I’m also trained in Attachment Therapy, EMDR, CBT and many others. I’ve always invested a lot of time and energy into improving my skills for the benefit of my clients, so I frequently attend continuing education seminars and conferences. I’m an Open Path provider (for people who need to pay based on their ability to afford it). I'm also a Give an Hour provider and donate pro-bono services for our military, veterans and their families. I value the opportunity to help everyone get the therapy that they need.

Hello! I am a LCSW in Indiana and New Jersey and a LMSW-C in Michigan. I offer virtual individual therapy sessions to adults in these three states.

I am a cognitive-behaviorally trained clinical and neuropsychologist. I obtained my PhD from the University of Connecticut and did clinical psychology re-tooling at Western Michigan University. I work with diverse populations and tend to take a biological/behavioral approach to wellness and mental health. I have a history of working in the college setting as a therapist for a period of approximately seven years and thus I am familiar with the needs and special circumstances of the college-aged population.

Beginning your therapy journey is a powerful act of self-love and courage. It is an impactful moment to acknowledge that you’re ready to live in alignment with your most authentic self. I’m here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow—where your voice is heard, your story matters, and your truth is honored. My therapeutic style is person-centered and collaborative, creating an environment where curiosity, self-compassion, humor, and reflection are welcome. College can bring pressure, stress, and big transitions, but it can also be a time of discovery. Together, we’ll focus on curiosity over judgment and self-compassion over shame. You are the author of your story, and you already hold the knowledge that will guide you toward the life you want. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate this chapter, embrace vulnerability, and step into your growth.

I am a sport and performance psychologist specializing in helping high achievers overcome performance anxiety and injury. Do you play better in practice than in games?

I can also provide mental training to help you be your best when it matters most to reach your potential. I work with athletes and other high achievers in academics, music and the performing arts. *My website says I am not accepting new patients due to my in-season schedule with Charlotte FC and the 23XI Racing Team - but please call the office and check availability particularly during the summer months as my third location (Queens University) schedule opens up.

Does the word “people-pleaser” apply to you? Do you find yourself often swept away in the whirlwind of other people’s troubles? Is it challenging to get what you need and want from others? Have you maybe become aware of some trauma and want to begin healing from it? Are you ready and motivated to grow more as a person and live a more authentic life? I can help! I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives. I’m here to help you access your own power to create the changes you want to see. Also, I incorporate a holistic and feminist approach, inviting clients to discuss and process systemic and cultural issues. My focus is to create a safe, validating, and nonjudgmental environment for you to explore any and all elements of yourself, your life, and your connections with others. I often work with people struggling with codependency, trauma, and relationship/family issues as well as anxiety and depression. My clients learn to better regulate their emotions, improve communication skills, increase self-confidence, overcome limiting beliefs, feel empowered, explore life goals and values, and identify what they want in their lives. I have training in treating trauma and skill-building. I work with individuals from various cultural backgrounds, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. My hours vary for easy accessibility. I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have. You are so brave in taking this first, and often hardest, step towards your goal. I hope to walk alongside you on your journey to achieve it.

Reaching out for help can be overwhelming and scary. How do you know which counselor to talk to? How do you know if it’s a good fit? What do all the letters mean after everyone’s names? What are my friends and family going to think if they hear I’m in counseling? There is so much confusion and stigma around mental health, and I would love to help you make sense of the process. I have extensive experience working with individuals in crisis, helping them find reasons to stay alive and ways to cope with what can feel like all-consuming depression and sorrow. I also have experience working with individuals who are experiencing difficulties with overuse of alcohol and drugs and can help plot a course toward harm-reduction and a more rewarding life. I love working with teenagers and college age students. It’s during this time that people often are struggling to find their identity, who they love, and what they want out of their lives. It’s also during this time that difficult symptoms tend to start making an appearance. Learning how to cope now can lessen the effects later in life and lead to much healthier and holistic outcomes. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations to see if I am the best fit for your needs. Let’s get connected today and start working towards a future you are excited about.

Hi, I'm Tarah Hipple-Thomas. I offer individual therapy for adults navigating the long-term effects of trauma. I know how deeply trauma can shape the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self, and I also know that healing is possible, even after years of surviving in silence. My clients are often thoughtful, resilient people who have tried for years to “just move on” or “push through” their pain. Many are high functioning on the outside, but inside feel stuck, exhausted, overwhelmed with emotions or thoughts, or disconnected. Some experience flashbacks or nightmares, while others carry a vague sense that something isn’t right. It’s common for my clients to describe feeling overwhelmed with sudden emotion, or feeling "flat", like they're not feeling at all. Many of my clients live with complex PTSD, dissociative symptoms, or formal dissociative disorders, including DID. I welcome all parts to therapy (yes, even the ones that are unsure, skeptical, or afraid). My goal is to create a space where every part of your system can feel seen and supported. Therapy with me is relational and collaborative. I’ll be by your side as you build trust in yourself, learn new ways to cope, and begin to reconnect with parts that you may have lost touch with along the way. Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting or pretending the past didn’t happen. It means reclaiming your life in the present, moment by moment, with compassion, clarity, and courage. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk with you on your healing journey. Visit my website to read more about my approach and to contact me for a free 15 minute consult to see if I'm the right fit for your next steps on your journey.
