Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Life can be a complicated journey and I believe that therapy can help make that journey more manageable and even enjoyable. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years providing individual and group therapies to adults with mental illness and adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities, including those on the spectrum. I have experience in helping people manage depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, thought disorders and borderline personality disorder. I have a great deal of experience working with those who are navigating trauma, including those struggling with self-harm and thoughts of suicide. I also have experience working with those in the LGBTQIA+ community. In therapy, I believe that you are the expert and my role is to provide a safe and validating space for us to work together towards your goals. By listening to your thoughts, feelings and needs I am able to walk alongside you in your journey of finding hope, understanding, change and acceptance. To assist in your journey I use an eclectic approach of CBT, DBT, MBCT and motivational interviewing. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
Hello, my name is Adam Nash and I am a counselor who works in a private practice called Health for Life. I am a trauma informed counselor who works with men in their late teens and early 20's. I believe that college is one of the hardest times of anyone's life and I believe that having someone to support you through these difficult times is very important. I have a desire to work with college students as the move through this time of transition.
Are you going through a quarter-life crisis? Let's talk. You thought you’d have it all figured out by now, but instead, everything feels uncertain. I work with individuals navigating life's biggest challenges, such as moving, career stress, school stress, or break-ups, and help you through the feelings that come with them. Life gets TOUGH and can leave you feeling lost and confused. I provide a space to sort through your largest burdens. We will explore who you are without worry, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings while creating a plan to get unstuck and feel like yourself again.
Everyone goes through difficult seasons of life, and at some point everyone needs a little help. Whether you are seeking peace from inner turmoil, struggling to let go of a lost love one, battling to keep your marriage alive, or exploring new growth, it's important to have a trained professional to help you along the way. I use traditional time-tested counseling approaches combined with the newest developments in the field to provide a personalized counseling experience. Every person is different, and that is why a tailored approach to counseling is helpful in dealing with your unique struggles. It is my job to create a therapeutic experience that can help you develop a life-story (or personal narrative) that you are proud to call your own.
Hello! First and foremost, I am so proud of you for reaching out to find support and connect with someone. It’s not always easy to say “hey, I am struggling!” but we all do, and we all deserve a safe space to process life. I am a life long Michigander, avid concert goer, board game enthusiast, and mom of two. I love being a therapist because I love connecting with others and creating a space to allow individuals to be themselves and talk about the heaviness of the day to day without judgement. I am an ally, advocate, and celebrator of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and genders. I am not religious but welcome and respect any religions you want to incorporate into your therapy. I offer telehealth sessions for college students- current priority will go to MSU students. If you do not have insurance and finances are the barrier to treatment, please reach out 💚🤍
I am an EMDR therapist who helps clients with issues such as anxiety, depression, work and school transitions, binge eating, stress management, body image, boundaries, trauma and grief. My approach incorporates Intuitive Eating/Healthy at Every Size, Inner Relationship Focusing and Collaborative Problem Solving. I offer therapy via Telehealth so that we can work together with you in the comfort of your own space, reprocessing the issues that we determine are keeping you stuck, and then utilizing the EMDR modality to help you with future planning and reaching your goals.
I provide telehealth counseling services to clients in Michigan. Sometimes life throws challenges at us that we need to process with the help of someone who can listen and allow us to explore our experiences and emotions. Together we can identify goals, coping strategies, and techniques that can lead to feeling healthier and happier. My experience has been primarily with teenagers and young adults, but I am happy to work all adults. The next step starts with: 1) Looking at the whole person - habits, health - sleep, diet, movement. 2) Identifying your strengths and how they can be used to help you in challenging situations. 3) Identifying how you are you currently dealing with stress, pain, hurt, or trauma. We will talk about strategies to improve your well-being. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on your journey to discovering a stronger, happier, and healthier you. This is the first step on your journey.
At Heartfelt Healing, I tend to connect most with students who are thoughtful, caring, and often hard on themselves. You might be the one others rely on, the responsible friend, the high achiever, the one who “has it together,” while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure inside. Many of the students I work with are navigating big life shifts such as starting college, adjusting to independence, healing from a breakup, questioning relationships, or trying to find their footing in who they are becoming. Some are working through body image struggles, disordered eating patterns, family stress, or the pressure to meet expectations. Others simply feel stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from constantly overthinking. If you’re considering therapy but don’t have clear goals or the “right words” yet, that’s completely okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes the first step is simply knowing something doesn’t feel quite right and being open to exploring it in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. We can figure the rest out together.
Hello and welcome! I'm Carissa and I work for Elevate Counseling and Community Services. I am currently accepting new telehealth clients and will be accepting in person clients starting the first week of March. I am also doing short term crisis services for those impacted by the events that have taken place at MSU. I have experience working with people who have been diagnosed with mental health issues of all kinds, especially borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. I also am LGBTQ+ affirmative and part of the LGBTQ+ community myself. I believe in the inherent worth of all people and want to help you be your best self, whatever that looks like for you. If you feel we would be a good fit, please reach out!
Hi! I’m Aubrey, and I’m glad you’re here.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity development, family dynamics, or performance-related stress, you’re not alone! I take a collaborative and direct approach to therapy, drawing from evidence based modalities like ACT, CBT, interpersonal therapy, and family systems work. My goal is to create a supportive space where we can work together to help you connect with your strengths, build self understanding, and move toward the version of yourself you want to be. I believe in honoring your unique lived experiences and helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered every step of the way!
It can be hard to keep going when you feel stuck in your life, whether it is a relationship, a job, or simply just not knowing what to do with the thoughts that come into your head. Maybe you’ve turned to alcohol, food, gaming, sex, or some other way to feel and connect with something, or just check out. This is not the end for you, but a beginning to rewriting the story of your life. Let’s work together toward a plan and action steps that accomplish becoming the connected, clear, and courageous person that will be consistent with your newly-defined values. Men's Issues are the primary focus of my practice. An EMDR Certified therapist, I use a trauma-informed approach to address areas such as: Addictions (Behavioral and Substance), Anxiety, Depression, Health/Wellness, Spirituality (all practices and backgrounds), and PTSD. I also enjoy integrating EMDR with Internal Family Systems, another effective approach. Let's talk before you come in. Feel free to give me a call to discuss what has brought you to seeking help and what you'd like your life to look like after therapy.

Are you frequently worried and having difficulty doing what you love? Are you a college student who is often overwhelmed and feeling hopeless? Are you struggling with identifying whether your current situation is healthy or abusive? Have you found yourself in a faith environment that has harmed you in some way? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. And I know this is hard. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years. But I’m so glad you found me and have taken the courageous step of being here. I’m confident that together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome these challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, spiritual abuse, or women’s issues, it is important that you know you don’t have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
What if you could learn to view difficult emotions as an opportunity for growth instead of a weakness? It’s true that suffering is universal, but with the right perspective you can learn to see that as a gift; a source of energy you can use to propel you towards your life’s goals and eventual contentment. Many seek to find happiness by changing their circumstances, but I hope to show you that accepting your current circumstances is the key to permanent change. My calling is to help you find peace and contentment, specializing in depression and anxiety, addiction, grief, existential concerns and parenting skills. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my clinical practice, focusing primarily on being conscious of the thoughts that drive our behavior and accepting life’s circumstances. I will work at your pace, whether you are looking for shorter solution-focused therapy or serving as a longer-term support. I've had a tough time as a shy child in a military family, particularly because my circumstances were always changing around me. After years of managing social anxiety and depression, I learned to focus on my internal landscape instead of trying to control the world around me. I would love to share these skills with you to use on your own personal journey.
I am a licensed therapist in Grand Rapids (virtual or in-person) and I work with students of all kinds who are looking for a space to work through some of the challenges you are facing as you make your way through the school year. I work with issues like anxiety, depression, self-worth and identity, relationship concerns, career concerns, and navigating all that college can stir up as you begin to start this independent life of your own. All are welcome here.
Let’s be honest. Life gets real sometimes. Things happen and we can wind up feeling stuck, lost, or hopeless. To top it all off, we often feel pressured to put on a brave face and weather the storm. It’s for these reasons that I founded Sunshine Counseling. You deserve a space where you can be yourself, where you don’t have to hide, and where you can safely process life. Truth be told, I named my therapy practice after a mug my friend gave me which sarcastically declares, "I am a ray of freaking sunshine!" This cheeky little mug actually encapsulates my world view. It is not all sunshine and rainbows. And that's ok. I tailor my approach to individuals, their needs, and their state of change. I believe that therapy is all about relationships and I want to aid others in having a healthy relationship with themselves that can then translate to having one with the people they choose to hold in their lives. Reaching out for support is a big step. Snaps for making it to this point. When you are ready, let's connect to schedule a free consultation. If I’m not the right fit for you or do not have the particular training or expertise to assist you, I will provide you with alternative referrals.
