Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I have a professional interest and passion to counsel adolescents, adults, families, and couples using evidence-based approaches and interpersonal practices. With supporting individuals overcoming trauma, mental illness, and/or substance abuse, I've learned how to aid in promoting an individual's personal sense of resilience through mindfulness techniques, along with other interventions, eliminating barriers to treatment. My clinical orientation includes, but is not limited to, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, existentialism, and person-centered approaches. By observing how individuals’ home and school environments influenced their behaviors, I found a unique fascination and understanding in how systems influence an individual and family.

Life can be messy, it can catch us off guard. We can find ourselves treading water and the things that used to keep us afloat aren’t working quite so well. Old wounds can dull our spark. If we’re human, we’ve all been there. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety and depression, grief due to a death or those anticipating a loss, a life threatening medical diagnosis, anaphylactic food allergies and accompanying stressors, trauma, and parents with perinatal mood disorders. I also support families navigating LGBTQIA issues. I have specialized training in play therapy, trauma interventions, bereavement, and perinatal mood disorders. I have a commitment to an open and affirming practice for all. My approach is to partner with clients to form a safe and supportive relationship to explore more flexible ways of being in relationship with yourself and the world. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is one of the strongest predictors of the effectiveness of your therapy experience. I offer complimentary phone consultations to assist in determining if we are a good match.

Welcome! Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming and sometimes intimidating. Not sure what to expect, what will really help, or maybe you think people don't really understand what you've been through or what you're experiencing. Taking a step towards taking care of your mental health is huge! Every person's needs are different which is why I take a client-centered approach to therapy. Your needs determine what we work on. If you have any questions, reach out and we can do a consultation!
Asking for help can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be! You don’t have to suffer in silence or figure it out alone. Are you ready to name what you need? Are you ready to be authentically you? Are you ready to confront the things you’ve been avoiding, set goals, and crush them? These are just a few questions some of my clients might ask themselves as they prepare to engage in therapy. If you are ready to take steps on your journey, I am dedicated to providing the supportive, compassionate and authentic environment for you to succeed, so send the message, let’s connect! I recieved my Bachelors in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2013, and obtained my Masters in Social Work and Evidence Based Trauma Treatment Certificate in 2018.
As a licensed clinical psychologist I will work collaboratively with you to identify and better understand the challenges you are facing, as well as the strengths and supports you possess to address these challenges. I have seen firsthand how this exploration can lead to desired changes in people's lives. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, recovery from trauma, substance abuse, body image and eating problems, grief and loss, relationship concerns, life adjustments, family issues, identity and sexual orientation issues, self-esteem development, immigration, and acculturation issues. I specialize in existential/humanistic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, integrating elements of mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I have extensive experience with college students, artists, healthcare workers, lawyers, and tech workers. I have international experience and would be ideal for clients who travel, but want a consistent therapist. I am currently accepting new clients via video chat and would be happy to have a brief phone conversation if you want to ask questions about my practice. Feel free to reach out via e-mail or text if you would like to schedule or just have logistical questions about fees, scheduling, etc. I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.
As you embark on this therapeutic journey it is my goal to make you feel empowered, heard, understood, and to provide a safe and positive environment. We will learn and grow together as we discuss your difficulties and highlight your strengths. I believe developing a strong and positive therapeutic relationship is a huge part of making your therapeutic journey successful. I’m focused on meeting you where you are at and help you realize the strength within yourself because I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own life.
College can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you're navigating academic stress, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life away from home for the first time, it’s normal to feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of yourself at times. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. As a licensed psychologist, I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore your feelings, gain clarity, and develop the skills you need to thrive in college and beyond. My goal is to help you manage stress, build resilience, and discover a greater sense of balance during this important stage of life.

Welcome! I’m a licensed professional counselor passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover deeper emotional wellness. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with compassion and curiosity. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, or past trauma, I aim to walk alongside you with empathy and evidence-based care. I integrate approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness to support your unique path toward healing and growth. Empathy is at the core of healing. As a licensed professional counselor, I believe true transformation begins when you feel deeply heard, understood, and accepted. My approach to therapy is rooted in genuine empathy, creating a safe space where you don’t have to carry your burdens alone.
I believe in empowering individuals to take control of their health. I have a deep belief in the ability for you to overcome difficulties. As a therapist, I believe, you are the expert in your experience and it is my role to provide a safe, understanding, and non-judgemental space for you to heal, grow, and move into a new way of being and feeling. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out on your own–we will work together. I am here to support you in your healing journey. Collaboratively, we will set goals on both what you want to achieve and things that you want to rid from your life. Burying or ignoring our pain may feel like the only way we can move past them. In reality, painful things that happen to us can continue to impact our ability to maintain and develop healthy relationships, as well as our overall physical and mental health. Difficult circumstances may even alter the way we view ourselves and the world around us; making us seem like we aren’t “worthy” or a “good person.” I am here to help you regain the sense of who you want to be in the world and to free yourself of negative views of yourself. You are meant to thrive and I am here to support you until you get to where you want to be. Maybe you don’t know what you want to do with your life at this point. Perhaps a relationship has gone sour, you found out that the degree you received or the job you have is not what you want. Therapy can help you figure out your next steps and change the path you have been on. I have experience working with both men and women of diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma. I have a great deal of passion for working with people who want to boost their self-esteem. I have a great deal of knowledge on how to help resolve intimacy issues in relationships and also with one’s self. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression. I have a strong conviction to help serve the LGBTQ+ community as well as experience and resources.
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.
People with self-critical thoughts, perfectionists, those who find it difficult to understand their own feelings, I am not here to change your thoughts, or to get rid of them; I don't believe that's possible, even if we can sometimes ignore them for a couple hours. But I do believe we can learn to respond to those thoughts differently, in ways that acknowledge and makes space for them, but doesn't leave you getting pushed around by them, doing things that don't feel like "you." I'm sure you have your reservations, that's normal and healthy. Therapy isn't easy! But if you're not happy with how things have been - how you've been treating yourself, others, the world around you - I would love to talk. I try my best to make therapy more than just "feeling your feelings." I want you to come away with a sense of peace and preparedness. Here's the part where I try to convince you I'm not a lizard in a therapist suit. My favorite Pokémon is Vulpix, I love Dungeons and Dragons, and cheesecake is objectively the best food. Thank you for reading, fellow humans. Talk to you soon, maybe!
We help anxious teens and adults find peace by healing and accepting themselves. We provide a non-judgmental space for people to reach their goals.
My heart for hurting people was birthed out of my own journey of experiencing healing from trauma, abuse and loss. I am convinced that all of us are created with a potential for incredible resilience and with the right kind of compassionate support, we can bounce back from the worst of circumstances. I grew up in India and after moving to the US in 2001, received a M.A. in Professional Counseling from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. Over the last 2 decades, I have enjoyed working with children and adults in various settings such as schools, women's shelters, colleges, churches and private practice. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, hiking, biking, kayaking, camping, cooking and enjoying conversations over a good meal with friends and family.
