Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Providing personalized, compassionate, affirming, and empowering inclusive care, to historically marginalized people by creating a safe and supportive environment, I can meet with you in the office or telehealth. Let's work together. You are the expert of your life. My goal as a therapist is to help you around your goals, which include building upon the skills you already heave and teach new ones to help you along your journey.
I believe that every person has the capacity to grow, develop strengths and skills, heal wounds, and experience new levels of wholeness. Therapy can be a catalyst for these changes; a place to be fully seen, known, and equipped. I work with women to uncover and correct unhelpful coping patterns and belief systems, create sustainable habits for mind-body-spirit wellness, establish healthy attachments in relationships, and foster a strong sense of resilience in the midst of challenges and traumas. My experience includes helping women navigate transitions and stressors related to college and post-college life, career goals or disappointments, work-life balance, identity and purpose, marriage and singleness, perinatal mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. Healing and hope occur in relationship; not isolation. Counseling is a safe space where you can share your burden with an empathetic helper attuned to your needs. I would be honored to hear your story and partner with you in your journey.

Hello! I'm Ning, a Licensed Master Social Worker. I specialize in sexual health and Trauma. I am deeply committed to providing culturally competent and inclusive care. My clinical approach integrates evidence-based techniques like EMDR, DBT, and CBT, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I also specialize in serving the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals practicing ethical non-monogamy. Beyond clinical practice, I am actively involved in research aimed at enhancing our understanding of how sexual health and trauma impact diverse populations. I am particularly skilled in assisting adults with PTSD, depression, and other mental health challenges, and I support young adults in their identity exploration journeys. My practice is human-centered, focusing on fostering autonomy and collaboration to create a safe and non-judgmental space for growth and healing. If you're seeking a therapist who values your individuality and is dedicated to your well-being, I look forward to working with you to navigate your path to healing and personal growth.
I have been practicing in the social work field for over 15 years. I feel it is a privilege to be able to walk alongside those who are facing struggles of any type. The college years can be filled with new adventures, but they can also include many hardships as you grow into an independent adult. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey and help you to face whatever struggles you are facing during this time.
I work with folks that are in the middle of change—whether that’s navigating substance use, questioning long-held beliefs, or rebuilding after a major life shift. As a master’s level student therapist pursuing an LPC, I take a solution-focused, creative approach that blends evidence-based techniques like CBT and IFS with real-world problem-solving. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about movement, perspective shifts, and practical steps forward. Through curiosity, structure, and a focus on what works, we’ll navigate this together. If you’re ready to start—or even just thinking about it—let’s talk.
Have you experienced a loss or traumatic event that's left you feeling stuck or directionless? Does it feel like life will never be good again and you just want everything to go back to how it used to be? Let me introduce myself: My name is Wesley. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I've dedicated my career to helping people just like you navigate through life's challenges and overcome the obstacles they face along the way. While each person's experiences are unique and nobody can truly know how you feel, I specialize in grief and trauma so that I can help you work through your pain live life on your terms. I've helped hundreds of grieving clients on their journeys, and have applied my advanced EMDR training to help clients heal from stressful and traumatic experiences. When you are working with me – regardless of what you are up against – I am here with you on your journey, seeing you for who you are. While I am empathetic and peaceful, I’m also driven to get to work with you toward your goals. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, and the first session is heavily discounted, so it’s easy to get started. See you soon!
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 💚🤍
One of my passions about my role as a therapist is to normalize therapy, why else would I do this! I think that this is something that my clients can bring away from their sessions. (Que cliche sunshine and rainbows that can be very real when you choose therapy, a very big and hard step). Everyone needs a little support every now and then, but sometimes, events happen that make you feel like you need a little more support, or college feels a little more overwhelming that you expected. I get it, because I've been there. Trauma and negative thinking patterns are treatable and can be managed and I often find that with the use of EMDR and other techniques that I engage in, my clients often feel much better. I work with individuals to manage significant life stressors or traumatic events or histories that continue to impact or trigger you and decide to pop up and cause trouble in unexpected moments. I also work with pregnancy and postpartum concerns!
Gordon Greer is an outpatient therapist with extensive experience working with teens, adults and families in outpatient mental health and inpatient psychiatric settings. He currently works with teens, adults and their families concerning a wide range of issues, including (but not limited to) anger, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, insomnia, sexual and gender identity (Gordon is an LGBTQIA+ ally), interpersonal relationships, personality disorders, traumatic stress, suicidality, and chemical and process addiction. Because of his sensitivity to the possible apprehension involved with anything new or personal, Gordon places a particular emphasis on helping clients and families feel at ease from the very beginning. His relaxed approach is primarily informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing, both evidence-based treatments. Gordon also is a certified alcohol and drug counselor trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Outside of session, he enjoys sports, going outside, dry humor, and being with his wife, sons and dog.
My personal passion is connecting with those who feel like no one really understands them. I can empathize, as several times in my life I have had those very same feelings. My goal is to help and inspire those who feel disconnected and struggling in life. I aspire to help my clients feel satisfaction, comfort, and joy. With years of experience providing therapy for members of the LGBTQ+ community, clients struggling with spirituality, sexuality, or addiction(s); these topics are my passion and where I have been able to help others navigate. I have real-life experiences such as serving in the military, some trauma, and chronic illness and pain. I have over 20 years’ experience with both civilian and government positions in the fields of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Child Advocacy, Chronic Illness and Counseling/Educational program delivery to the community. My focus is to help you through growth, change and resolution. Your journey is as distinctive as you are.
*I am available to all MSU students seeking support during this difficult time. I have extensive experience in crisis intervention and crisis response including trauma, grief/loss, anxiety/panic.* I know life is messy and complex. Our paths are filled with challenging experiences, unexpected thoughts, and raw emotions. You may find you have parts of yourself feeling disconnected, unrecognizable, or not meeting expectations you have held. You may be noticing shifts in your identity, your relationships, or the roles you play. I am here to walk alongside you as you begin this journey of discovery and healing. I am privileged to have turned my passion for women’s issues, reproductive health, and perinatal mental health into a career. I specialize in supporting women, new mothers, and young adults 18+ who need support through life transitions, college experiences, reproductive health choices, adjustment to parenthood, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I strive to create a safe environment for exploration, vulnerability, healing, humor, and growth. I draw from my own journey when working with clients and value authenticity, connection, and lived-experience in a therapeutic relationship. I look forward to meeting you soon.
I specialize in working with graduate students who are seeking a kind, sensitive, and curious clinician to guide them through the mental health rigors of academia. The journey of completing a graduate degree can be a stressor which exacerbates existing issues of perfectionism and anxiety; but it can also be a time of growth, insight, and self-discovery. My second area of speciality is grief and loss. Grief shows up in many ways, often during points of life transition. Break-ups, divorces, deaths of a loved ones, chronic health issues that can impact daily functioning - these losses are part of life but can be challenging to navigate. Sometimes those around us can be uncomfortable with the intensity or duration of grief, or want to "fix it". Therapy can be a space where you can bring these emotions and have space held for their intensity without judgement. Everyone deserves the chance to experience healing and live a full life. I approach my work with genuine interest to know people- where they have been, what has brought them to where they are now, and where they would like to go. I offer both virtual and in-person options for therapy.
Great to meet you! My name is Cynthia D. Perry, and I am the founder of Restoration Christian Counseling. I provide Christ-centered counseling for individuals who are seeking healing, restoration, and a deeper relationship with God. Over the years, I have worked with people facing trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My therapy approach is one that is holistic to address the Mind, body, and spirit. I believe true healing comes through God’s Word and His restorative power. My approach combines biblical principles with therapeutic practice. I take a person-centered approach, meaning our work together moves at your pace and is always grounded in compassion, respect, and the belief that God has a redemptive plan for your life. In our first session, my focus is on listening to your story and creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel understood and supported. My clients often repot that they leave the first session with hope, encouragement, newfound strength, and inspiration to continue, renew, or to begin their relationship with God. Together, we’ll begin building a trust-based relationship that allows you to grow spiritually and emotionally. My goal is that you not only feel heard, but I am committed to helping clients find purpose, strength. peace, and restoration. For me, this is a ministry and a reflection of God's heart.
Marlene Lathrop, LMSW, CSW, BCD is a Board Certified therapist specializing in working with “Women Who Love Too Much” and Couples counseling with an emphasis on the power of communication.
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.
As a dedicated grief therapist, my primary focus lies in offering support and guidance to individuals grappling with the profound impact of chronic illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, and loss. My practice is open to individuals across all age groups, acknowledging that grief and its accompanying challenges do not discriminate by age. My core objective is to assist my clients in navigating the significant changes and upheavals in their lives brought on by their unique circumstances. I firmly believe in the power of a strengths-based perspective to foster resilience and healing. Central to my practice is the development and reinforcement of healthy coping mechanisms, which are crucial for managing the intense emotions and challenges that accompany grief and loss. I am committed to helping clients identify and correct cognitive distortions that may hinder their healing process. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual, recognizing that the path to healing is as unique as the person walking it. I hold a deep-seated belief that no one should have to navigate the terrain of grief alone. In my role as a therapist, I am committed to being that supportive presence for my clients, offering a non- judgmental space to heal.
