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.
The inherent dignity and worth of every individual are guiding principles in the advocacy and counseling support I’ve helped develop with people for over 25 years. Challenges we all encounter can overwhelm our regular functioning and cause pain that distracts and obscures access to genuine joy and plans we all have for our best selves and relationships. Using evidence-based practices and focusing on self-determination, I listen and assist individuals with stabilizing their day-to-day functioning so they can plan and get closer to where they want to be in life and their relationships. I began here in East Lansing at the Listening Ear as a Crisis and Sexual Assault Counselor while in graduate school, and still sincerely value active listening and problem-solving. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, certified Michigan teacher and academic consultant. I’ve primarily worked with adults and youth in both clinical, high school and post-secondary settings.
Akeem Green, LLMSW graduated with his master’s from Indiana University and received his bachelor’s in social work from Indiana Wesleyan University. Since graduating in 2019 he has gained work experience as a school social worker, graduate social worker, professor and therapist. Akeem believes that his background as an adopted black male from Illinois is a part of his story that has helped him relate to and encourage those around him who share similar or different experiences. Within his practice he believes equality and opportunity are possible for everyone who walks through his doors. He ensures this in his demeanor, offering acceptance that you truly can come as you are and leave feeling understood. Akeem’s approach to therapy is Person-Centered, Strength-Based, and includes a combination of Motivational Interviewing, CBT and other models to accommodate how each person is different. Akeem‘s areas of focus are Christian counseling, and working with children, families, adults, and couples therapy. In his free time, Akeem enjoys taking his time and not rushing. Akeem enjoys all things Chicago, cooking, music and running Ultra Marathons

Welcome! Starting counseling is not easy and by coming here you have taken an important first step. This is meant to be a safe and non-judgmental space. I am a licensed master social worker with a wide variety of life experiences which have given me the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I am continually working to expand my therapeutic knowledge and skills in order to offer clients the right treatment for individual needs. That said I do embrace aspects of “positive psychology”. I like to accentuate what is right with you and not focus only on what is “wrong” with you. I have specialized training in Infant Mental Health, several behavioral therapies (DBT, CBT, ACT, MBCT), Child Parent Psychotherapy, and trauma informed therapies. I lean towards the so called “third wave” cognitive behavioral therapies which include concepts such as acceptance and mindfulness. I have experience treating people with a range of challenges including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, PTSD and trauma. I believe that everyone has the capacity to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. Sometimes we face challenges and barriers which may seem overwhelming. Therapy can help identify the source of these challenges and how to overcome them. Currently I work with adults and couples, and accept most major insurances.

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.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, and at times, we all need a bit of support to get there. I am here to provide that support, tailored to meet your individual needs. Therapy can be a transformative process, offering a wide range of possibilities for growth and healing. I believe that every person is unique, and as such, therapy should never be a "one size fits all" approach. Whether you are new to therapy and seeking to manage daily stresses, looking to foster personal growth, or in need of healing, we will work collaboratively to ensure that therapy is right for you. I take great pride in offering a safe space and a compassionate ear to those open to enlightenment and change. I believe that everyone possesses the inner strength to grow, though sometimes these strengths may be hidden. Through a person-centered and compassionate lens, we will work together to uncover your strengths and cultivate self-compassion to help you achieve your goals. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer Art Therapy as an alternative form of expression, providing comfort and a unique way to explore your inner self. If you are ready to embark on a journey of personal growth or are simply curious about where to begin, I would be honored to accompany you. Change is not always easy, but when you are ready, you will find a safe space here and a committed partner ready to support you on your path toward healing and growth.
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.
We support young adults through life transitions, stress management, and learning new skills to cope with anxiety and depression. We also offer trauma focused therapy and crisis support.
