Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Hi there! My name is Kimmie and I practice through Embrace Change Therapy. I believe you are the expert in your life, and I am to support you through whatever journey you may be on. There is so much that happens in life; it’s very easy to become overwhelmed. When we slow down and take it one step at a time, we are able to accomplish goals and establish new ways of thinking as well as develop a wide range of coping skills. I meet you where you are, and together we can move forward to achieve your goals! Therapy is not a one fits all, so I work from a combination of modalities, mostly CBT, strengths based, and motivational interviewing depending on clientele. I've worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds, and love to learn about each and every one as their own individual selves. My philosophy in life is that there is always room for learning and growth. I believe we both have things to offer in therapy, and can't wait to meet you! I accept most insurances, including Medicaids. Send me an email and we can verify this prior to working together. I graduated from GVSU with my Bachelor’s of Social Work and Master’s of Social work. I have two black labs, am married to my college sweetheart, and we have a toddler son who keeps us on our toes! In my free time, I love reading, taking our dogs for walks, and riding my horse, Atlas, in eventing and jumping. Feel free to shoot me an email to connect!

Coming into counseling is an indication that there are aspects in you life that you want to change. We all desire to live our best life and having someone who provides unconditional acceptance, honesty and support can help you in reaching those goal. An effective counseling relationship will allow you to increase your self knowledge, gain an awarness of the patterns in your lives, and learn strategies that move you towards your best life. Meaningful counseling addresses your emergent situation and long term issues. My substantial background as a professional in crisis intervention, emergency safety planning, and my deep knowledge of community resources helps me to respond to your immediate concern. My in depth long term counseling skills allow me assist you at any stage of your life. My internship at the MSU Psychiatric and Counseling Center has prepared me to handle a wide variety of student-centered concerns and meet the challenges of significant change and stress. To support you as a client, I adhere to a person-centered counseling philosophy. You are the expert on your life and goals, and I act as your guide. As my client you will determine the goals to be achieved. I will use only those techniques and strategies that are evidenced-proven to aid you in reaching those goals. Starting counseling can be a overwhelming and scary experience. I recognize that and strive to always provide you a safe and accepting place to grow.

I specialize in working with people who are feeling overwhelmed and stuck in anxious loops of procrastination and perfectionist behavior. I help clients acknowledge triggers and learn new skills to move towards a life free of self sabotage and guilt to allow space for confidence and hope. I ground in the present while looking at and understanding how your past environment has shaped you. I utilize and encourage your strengths so that you may confidently embrace your desired change and feel empowered to heal through mind-body skills. Together, we will explore how anxiousness, perfectionism, and trauma are present in your body. We will identify your ideal life, then create a plan of action to learn emotional and body regulating skills so you feel more in control to react to life's triggers.

I offer virtual therapy in PA, MI, and MN. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience across a variety of settings. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Mercyhurst University and master's degree in social work from Edinboro University. I have experience working with adults in community mental health and residential treatment for substance use disorders. I use evidence-based practices including: CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Behavioral Activation. I provide strength-based, personalized therapy that empowers clients to take control of their mental health and work towards their goals. My approach to counseling is collaborative and client centered. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide guidance, support, and a framework for your journey. Our first session is a chance to explore what's bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. Over time, we'll work together to identify repeated emotional patterns, develop coping strategies, and new ways of responding to life's challenges.

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 💚🤍

Hello, I'm Jarid, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journeys toward healing and growth.​ My desire to be a counselor stemmed from a longing to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. After years in the corporate world, I craved a career with purpose, one that allowed me to foster deep connections and witness transformation. What I love most about counseling is the opportunity to form authentic relationships with my clients. I'm honored to share in their growth and witness their lives transform into something fulfilling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and its potential for healing. I also value challenging my clients in a way that pushes them forward. I am not the kind of therapist to let you come in weekly and just maintain the status quo of your life. Together we will constantly push toward the change that you are looking for and the change that you need. The most rewarding moments in my practice are when clients experience empathy for themselves and their stories. This self-acceptance allows them to envision a clear path forward and embrace personal growth. My clients often tell me that their therapy experiences with me are unlike any other. They appreciate my deep engagement, presence, and understanding. I prioritize a collaborative, equal, and beneficial relationship with each client. My own mental and emotional well-being is a priority. I have my own therapist and apply my knowledge and experience to my life. I find joy in mindfulness practices, humor, and spending time with loved ones. Outside of counseling, I enjoy reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, playing video games, golfing, going to the movies, music, and spending time on the water. I created my own practice to have the freedom to meet my clients where they are and provide them with the best care possible. I value the autonomy to tailor my approach without external constraints. Thank you for considering me as your guide on your path to well-being. I look forward to supporting you through your journey.

My eclectic and relational approach allows the flexibility needed to meet each person where they are and help them move forward in processing past challenges and growing more prepared to meet future challenges by providing not only strategies and tools to improve symptoms but also guiding you toward insight that may transform your perspective moving forward. Let's get started on your journey toward living life as your truest self. Learning to express your emotions, know yourself, and become able to protect your boundaries in relationships with others.

Many mental health issues are related to a trauma response in the brain and body. Trauma is often conceptualized as one single event or experience that causes intense fear or distress. However, not all people who experience these kinds of events develop trauma symptoms, and many people who do experience trauma symptoms cannot identify a single event such as this. Another way to understand trauma symptoms is that they occur when an individual’s context overwhelms their nervous system’s ability to cope. This forces the nervous system to utilize strategies to try to bring the body back into balance. These strategies are usually useful or adaptive in the moment, but unhealthy and disruptive in the long run. The coping patterns can be related to addiction, disordered eating, the way we emotionally engage in relationships, or the chronic up-regulation (anxiety) or down-regulation (depression) of our nervous system. All are attempts to process the energy stored in the nervous system in response to stressors. Together we will utilize elements of mindfulness, somatic expression, Family Systems Theory, and Narrative therapy to develop new strategies to express emotion, regulate the nervous system, and communicate effectively with ourselves and with the people in our lives.

My hearts desire is to walk along side people when life is hard (because it is hard for everyone, at some point) and help them find the peace and joy they desire. My foundation, my rock is Faith and that is at the core of who I am. But I know that is not everyone’s truth and I have worked with so many people who have different beliefs. When I worked in hospice,there was always a spiritual component, we always asked patients what their meaning of life is. Whatever that is for you, I want to walk along side of that. My experience as a coach, a youth leaders, an oldest of four daughters...I have seen so many young girls seeking for something that is missing. Seeking for a sense of belonging, seeking for Love and sense of worthiness. I want to help you discover that. I want to walk this hard journey with you. We are not meant to do this life alone.

Accepting new clients! Hi There! My name is Olivia and I want to let you know I understand that life can be challenging much more than we can handle. However, by doing some therapy, your perspective may shift to your benefit and you’d be closer to meeting your goals. If things are little more complicated, we may need a little more than just few sessions. Whatever your need I am sure we can sort it out and discuss in more detail. I would love to hear from you! I am currently accepting patients virtually. I mainly use a client centered approach, allowing you to unpack your worries in the order you desire to release and share. I ask questions, as needed to progress towards the goals you desire to meet. Modalities I use include: Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy. Aside from being a therapist, I'm also a mother to three wonderful children and have been married since 2010. I have had my own trials and tribulations and I understand what it's like to be on the other side of the therapeutic process. My own journey has allowed me to better connect and understand humans on a deeper level.

My name is Erick Pena. I struggled with depression and anxiety for about 20 years, and it wasn't until I read a book called "Getting Past Your Past" by Francine Shapiro that everything started to make sense. As a therapist, I offer traditional talk therapy, but I am incredibly passionate about EMDR therapy. I believe that in the same way talk and EMDR therapy have helped me deal with the negative symptoms that plagued my life for so long, they can also help you.
