Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Hey there! My name is Allison (she/her), I am a traveling virtual therapist with availability September 2025! I am thrilled that I can combine my passion for helping others improve their mental health while living my dream of traveling the USA in my camper van. This journey of life can become turbulent without notice, and having someone to provide support can make all the difference. Together we will work to develop strategies that support personal authenticity that is both meaningful and manageable. I would be honored to join and support you in your mental health journey and aid in navigating the many twists that life has in store! I strongly believe in experiencing life to the fullest of our capabilities. My specialties are in trauma and adjustment issues, anxiety and depression, and interpersonal issues. Using the client centered model we will explore your perspective and goals. I work with adults, am LGBTQIA+ allied, and have a strong emphasis of intersectionality in my work. I am enthusiastic and passionate about empowering my clients to take hold of their mental health journey, recognize their strengths, express their emotions and maintain positive habits in their own safe space.
Beginning therapy is an act of care for yourself and we could all do a little more in that regard. Maybe you have been carrying stress that feels impossible to shake, dealing with intrusive thoughts, or trying to find your footing with identity, relationships, or purpose. My role is to help you explore what’s beneath the surface and create meaningful and lasting change. In our sessions you'll find a space where your voice is heard and where you do not have to filter yourself. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I use evidence based methods like CBT, narrative therapy, and metacognitive therapy, but more importantly I focus on listening closely & adapting to what you need. If you are in Michigan and looking for in person or online therapy I usually have evening or some limited weekend openings, so feel free to inquire. If you’re ready to begin this journey, feel free to send me a message or give me a call. I believe in meeting my clients with understanding and care, no matter their starting point. Together, we can navigate the path toward the life you're envisioning. If you're ready to reach out, I'll be happy to get us started.

With the many transitions that life brings can come many challenges. It can be difficult to navigate these challenges alone and reaching out for support is a significant step in working towards healing. My goal is to help you navigate your healing journey using compassion, empathy, creativity, and humor. I have worked in a variety of settings including the department of corrections, psychiatric inpatient hospitals, and in an after school setting. Throughout experience I have worked with many different clients including individuals experiencing challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, work stress, career transitions, spirituality, and family life. I approach my work with the mindset that the client is the expert in their treatment. In my work I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness Based Interventions. I aim to provide a welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and judgement free space for you to process any struggles and work towards your goals. I recognize that each person’s path to healing is unique and during our time together we will discover which approach is ideal for you. Life can bring on so much heartache and struggles that can make us feel lost. Through self-exploration we can work towards transforming into a more healed self. Clients interested in working together can reach out to me at rickele@humboldtparkcounseling.com or at 312-880-7671 for more information. All inquires are welcome.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for over 23 years and have both the educational and work experience to treat children, adolescents, adults, and families. I often build trust and rapport quickly, while instilling hope and optimism. Therapy is performed both in person and tele therapeutically, helping to ameliorate symptoms and improve overall functioning in those that I serve. Clients will tell you that I am nonjudgmental, open minded, approachable, live by Christian values and I am respectful of all people. I continue to work hard to be an ally, learning from others as they learn from me. Leaning on my extensive experience helping parents and being a parent myself, I apply structural family therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy as we work on their parental effectiveness, active listening, behavioral management, co-parenting, and affective expression. I really enjoy and have found success in performing couples counseling and often have evening hours that make it easier for both partners to get into therapy consistently. For years, clients have felt relaxed and heard in the sessions, making continuing therapy seamless for many. Regarding diagnoses, I have helped ameliorate symptoms for clients with ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, GAD, PTSD, OCD, ODD, and adjustment disorders, etc.. I have some experience with substance abuse diagnoses, but only secondary as this is not my expertise. Currently, I am accepting the following insurances: Aetna, BCBS, Blue Cross Complete, BCN, McLaren, Mclaren Medicaid, Medicare, Michigan Medicaid, Molina, Multiplan, Optum, and PHP (Out-Of-Network coverage). Finally, being located near East Lansing, I am in a prime location for college students and have helped many with a broad range of issues and have had many clients state that they have had therapists in the past, but have felt more connected to, listened to, and made more progress herein.
Hello! I serve adolescent and adult clients from a variety of backgrounds who all are seeking freedom from stress and overwhelm. Some are burnt-out and exhausted because they have high-expectations for themselves and struggle with self-care. Some have experienced childhood trauma or challenges in relationships. Some are so overwhelmed they default to avoidance-numbing with doom scrolling, binge-watching, or staying too busy. Some numb themselves with drugs and alcohol to cope. They all want to heal and be free from the patterns they experience. I would love to help you in your journey too!
Make friends with your anxiety. Wait—what?! Okay, let’s tame it first. Then we’ll work on the friendship. Too often, anxiety management becomes about fighting it, silencing it, or pretending it’s gone for good. But anxiety is just your survival instinct—stuck in turbo mode. Trying to erase an instinct isn’t a great use of energy. And let’s be honest—your anxiety is a pro at fighting back. So let’s stop fighting. Let’s cool things down. Let’s get curious. Maybe even… make friends with it. Sound impossible? I’ll show you how.
I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, understood, and accepted—exactly as you are. You might find yourself feeling constantly anxious or on edge, caught up in worries that never seem to quiet down. Maybe you’re often hard on yourself, struggling with self-doubt or guilt, or noticing that it’s hard to feel joy or motivation the way you used to. When life starts to feel like this, it can be difficult to see a way forward or imagine things feeling different. My approach is person-centered, meaning our work is guided by your needs, your pace, and what feels most meaningful to you. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the lasting impact of complex trauma. In our work together, I may draw from compassion-focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you understand yourself better, and adjust the beliefs you hold about yourself, others, and the world. Through this process, we’ll work toward cultivating more enjoyment, confidence, and self-compassion in your everyday life.
My approach to therapy focuses on creating a warm, open, and supportive environment where clients feel at ease. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for fostering trust and promoting meaningful growth. I graduated from University of Delaware in 2011 with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Disabilities Studies. In 2016 I graduated from Michigan State University with a Masters in Clinical Social Work. I obtained my clinical license in the state of Delaware in 2018. I have maintained an independent practice since 2018 in addition to my full time career as a medical social worker. I have extensive experience with children with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, grief, and bereavement as well as various orthopedic conditions. I have had training with DIR Floortime Approach, Sand Tray Therapy, and Play Therapy.
My career passions are teaching and healing. I have taught college for 15 years, helping students along their academic journey as well as being a listener, a supporter, and a motivator. As a therapist, I tend to have the same approach. My goal, as a therapist and a teacher, is to help you learn how to deal with life through knowledge, empathy, and empowerment.
I've spent many years working in different college counseling centers and have a true love for the college population - so much is happening in emerging adulthood, especially figuring out who you are and what you want life to look like. Because of increased stress and responsibilities, it is also a time where mental health concerns can either emerge for the first time or increase in their severity. I find great joy in getting to be a supportive space and teammate for folks navigating this incredibly rich period of life.

Have you been grinding through your life, one day bleeding into the next, until one day your brain and your body tell you that you can’t live like this anymore? Maybe you've finally had a chance to slow down, take a deep breath, and notice that unpredictability and chaos seem to be the norm? You're sick and tired of feeling this way and ready to make a change, but where do you even begin when it feels like the weight of the world is upon your shoulders? As someone who still remembers feeling the above emotions, I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help. You may still be wondering if this therapy thing is right for you. I have experience working with those who are entering into counseling for the first time or who have tried many times before and think "this will never work for me." Interesting in learning more about my approach? Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
