Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck under the weight of anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, stress, or a big life change—yet still harbors a spark of hope. They need a listening ear, a judgment-free zone, and practical tools to manage overwhelming emotions. Their goals are to find relief from pain, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and rediscover purpose and connection. They want clear insight and coping strategies so they can move forward with confidence—and they seek a compassionate partner to walk beside them every step of the way. With 10+ years of experience, I am able to support clients through life’s toughest moments using a blended approach of strength-based, CBT, cognitive reframing, and solution-focused therapies. I create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to grow. My goal is to help you find relief, build resilience, and move forward with confidence. Thank you for taking this brave step—simply being here matters. If life feels overwhelming or you’re carrying a heavy load, know you’re not alone. I offer a compassionate space where your story is honored, healing unfolds at your pace, and growth is within reach. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out so we can navigate this journey together.
Hello and welcome. Firstly, I can offer services for psychological evaluations and therapy. Evaluations can be helpful to address learning disabilities, ADHD, or psychological pieces that are impacting performance in your educational pursuits. Therapy approaches are integrative and dependent on your goals. I work from an integrative approach that looks at all aspects of you, to recognize and boost your strengths and to put in place tools and cushions for any weak areas that are present. I offer a safe space and take a nonjudgment approach in my work. After all, we have all been struck with the human condition. :)

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. I look forward to walking with you as you start the journey of Finding Balance in your own life.
It is never lost on me the courage it takes for someone to reach out and ask for help. As a licensed mental health therapist, my job is to come along side the client. As they allow me in, trust is built, together we find new ways for the client to find emotional balance.
I’ve always known I was meant to help others, and becoming a therapist has allowed me to do just that. I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and feel like the best versions of themselves. I work at Restore Therapy Collective in Grand Rapids offering both in person and telehealth sessions. I work with kids, teens, and adults on ADHD, anxiety, autism, life transitions, school issues, relationships, and trauma. I am also dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence. With a background as a school social worker and education in play therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT, and EMDR, I take a person-centered approach to help clients build resilience and find what works for them. Outside of here, I enjoy traveling, photography, trying new restaurants, reading, and spending time with my two cats, family, and friends. I’m grateful to support my Michigan community and would be honored to help you on your journey!
Thank you for considering the meaningful step of improving your life through therapy. I have over 10 years of experience in helping young adults with a wide range of concerns, from anxiety to depression to relationships to making career decisions and managing daily stresses. I practice evidence-based behavioral therapy while treating you with the warm, friendly concern I would want for a dear family member. My clients often feel better after the first session or two and tend to feel and function significantly better after 4 to 6 sessions. I value nothing more than helping people improve their lives, and I look forward to the privilege of helping you do the same. Warm Regards, Aaron George, LMSW, CAADC True Therapy

I offer a safe and supportive therapeutic environment that acknowledges and respects your emotional journey. My area of expertise is providing support to persons struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, life transitions, and family conflict.

If you are curious, hesitant, or intimidated about seeking therapy, I am here to help. I create a nonjudgemental, safe and confidential space where you can freely express yourself without fear, judgment or criticism. This space is dedicated solely to your well-being, where you can explore your emotions, build your self-esteem and cultivate self-compassion. If you value a creative and holistic approach to therapy, we may integrate art or other expressive techniques like mindfulness. I am passionate about trauma and women's issues. My training and experience allows me to navigate the complex needs of survivors of all ages, including young survivors. One area of particular interest to me is the mind-body-spirit approach. These therapies focus on the body's wisdom in healing trauma and provide a holistic approach to recovery. As part of Wellspring Therapeutic Partners, I regularly consult with our team of therapists, prescribers, and psychologists who specialize in a variety of areas. I can provide seamless referrals for medication management or testing, though we always welcome and encourage you to keep working with your outside provider if helpful.
I am offering reduced rates to MSU students, I offer short term, long term and crisis counseling to MSU students.

I practice with a wide range of psychotherapy modalities and adjust my style and techniques based on your individual need. It is my goal to help you overcome your struggles and flourish.

I help my patients become aware of past patterns of behavior, thought processes and emotions that will have a lasting impact on the changes they make in their lives. These changes can affect many area’s in life including increased confidence, self-esteem, positive interpersonal relationships, and lasting change.

Attending college can be an exciting time and also a challenging time. Adjusting to so many life transitions and managing the stress that comes with these transitions can become overwhelming. Counseling assists you with the adjustment process, helps with finding solutions, learning healthy coping skills and identifying and modifying faulty thinking patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety and depression. Counseling can also help you define life goals, career plans, resolve relationship issues. You don't have to manage these stressful situations alone. Together we can work through any issues holding you back from fully enjoying the college experience.
Prior to Covid-19 I began working with telehealth and moved towards seeing everyone from their own home to remove the barrier of the commute. Additionally I see people living in rural areas for specific needs such as gender dysphoria. My experience includes addressing trauma/PTSD, substance use/abuse and recovery, anxiety, depression, transgender and gender dysphoria, and LGBTQ+ issues for adolescents and adults as an ally. You can easily request and schedule our first appointment or phone consultation by reaching out today - preferably by email.
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.
I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to tell the truth, about our pain, our fears, and the parts of ourselves we learned to hide for surviving purposes. Therapy with me is about creating space to understand yourself with more compassion, clarity, and choice. With over 15 years of experience in the business world, I understand the burnout of high-functioning, over-responsible individuals, the life transitions coming from career change or relocation and the identity exploration and rebuilding after disruption. I am especially drawn to supporting people who have learned to be strong early in life, and are now learning how to be gentler with themselves.

Accepting NEW Clients. I’m a bisexual, cis Asian woman and first-gen college grad from a low-income family. As an immigrant, I know how heavy it can feel to carry so many layers of identity.
