Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Starting college — or just trying to get through it — can bring up a lot: Am I doing this right? Do I even belong here? Who am I becoming? I’d love to help you figure it out. Together we can work through the stress of adjusting to a new place, academic and social anxiety, career uncertainty, drinking or eating patterns that feel hard to shake, or trauma that’s still asking to be understood. I especially enjoy working with students nearing graduation who are wrestling with what comes next — career direction, next steps, and the identity shift that comes with leaving college behind. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a professor, and my research focused on identity and belonging — so I have a real passion for working with students exploring who they are, especially those navigating race, class, gender, or sexuality, or who just feel like they’re on the outside looking in. I bring both that academic background and genuine warmth to our work together.

Hi! I am an EMDR-Certified and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with a specialization in working with college students (both "traditional" and "non-traditional"). I deeply enjoy getting to work with folks who are looking to address challenges they might be experiencing in their relationships: their relationships to partners, friends, family members, and importantly, to themselves. Many life experiences may lead us to feel in disconnection with ourselves: whether you have experienced relational or institutional trauma, are navigating multiple life transitions (e.g. beginning a new degree, receiving a new medical diagnosis), or are exploring social, sexual or gender identity, I am here to help you reconnect with yourself and take steps forward in your healing journey.

My orientation is strength-based; I seek to create a working alliance of safety and trust. I am trained in a number of clinical methods, notably trauma-based treatment. I am non-judgmental, goal-oriented, child-centered, and I believe in the importance of making everyone I work with feel relaxed and comfortable. I work toward understanding the holistic nature of my clients, and help them understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As a clinical Social Worker, I have worked with children, teens, and young adults with behavior problems since 1978. For the last 20 years, I have worked in Community Mental Health settings with children, teens, families, adults. I have experience working with dual diagnosis, trauma, and a variety of other mental health presentations.

My counselors and I work with individuals, couples, families! Hello, I am Dr. Antoinette Mallett. Fountain of Wisdom and Hope counselors are certified to work with Diverse populations. I and my staff care about the growth of each client that walks into our office and am dedicated to helping them achieve the best possible outcome for their lives. Many people worry that counseling is only for people that are "not normal", however counseling is just a support person that is able to help through those difficult times! We all get stuck sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with someone helping us get unstuck.

I blend therapy skills with intuition using oracle cards, Tarot, Reiki, spiritual practices and Hypnotherapy.

College can be really hard — it definitely was for me. I struggled with the transition, felt lost in who I was, and went through a lot: relationship issues, self-esteem stuff, grief, even addiction. That’s part of what brought me to therapy, and eventually to becoming a therapist myself. Now, I work with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of who they are. I know how lonely it can feel when things get heavy — and I also know that healing is possible. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I won’t give you generic advice or try to “fix” you — instead, we’ll explore what’s going on in a way that feels real, safe, and supportive. I specialize in trauma, identity, grief, anxiety, and neurodivergence. I’m also LGBTQ+ affirming and really care about creating space for all parts of who you are. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We can start wherever you are.

I offer my clients a calm and safe place to work through issues that are holding them back from living their best lives. The issues I most often help clients with are anxiety, trauma, adjustment issues, ADHD, and depression. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Neurofeedback Therapy. I have found EMDR to be an amazing tool that has been so helpful in allowing my clients to work through traumatic events which then leads to less anxiety, less depression, higher productivity, and better sleep. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit. I look forward to talking with you.
