Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I am currently providing teletherapy for clients anywhere in Michigan. As a clinician, I focus on each individual and enjoy pulling out their strengths. I have experience working with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, poverty, housing crisis, parenting struggles, and trauma. I am easygoing and enjoy listening to others, solving problems, and pushing forward by taking things one step at a time. I strive to be welcoming, patient, and I listen to understand. I am passionate about building relationships and to be a support person in your corner. It is a courageous step when a person chooses to open up and an honor to join their life journey. I am here to walk alongside children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression and anxiety. My therapy style is all about meeting you where you are. We will start by getting to know each other and building a therapeutic relationship. I will bring a calm presence along with a positive energy. I enjoy working with kids through play therapy. With adolescents and adults I am all about being solution focused and finding new ways to build on coping skills that can be used long term. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am a good fit for you.

Hi there! I am so excited to sit with you and be present as you engage in the therapeutic process. Taking the walk to receive the care you deserve is often the hardest step, so I am excited to be here with you to cheer you through it! In this life, we face a whirlwind of different scenarios that may create ups and downs in our timeline. And even more often, our internal voice may guide us in a way that sets us back. Together, as we establish our therapeutic relationship, I will work with you to empower you and help you explore how to reach your full potential! As a growing counselor, I have been able to gain a breadth of different experiences throughout my education. Hailing from Western Michigan University, I have had experiences working with individuals with developmental disabilities (behavioral) and was fascinated by people’s different stories and how all of our domains in life affect us in so many different ways! As I embarked on the clinical route, I have had experience working in individual and group counseling settings. As a neurodivergent individual myself, I understand what it’s like to feel those struggles inside and outside of ourselves. I aim to create a space for you to have that voice, the tools, and structural pieces to bring to the outside world. In our work, I often explore from a CBT, DBT, ACT, person-centered, and/or humanistic perspective. I also integrate faith-based counseling, spirituality counseling, as well as mindfulness based practices to help navigate the intersection between physical and mental growth. I work with anyone in our space from ages 13-100+, offering both individual and, now, group services (please reach out for more info on group, if interested)! In this space, my biggest goal is to recognize, ensure, and promote your safety and comfort, and collaboratively create a plan tailored to your success and well-being with the right tools for you. I will act as the facilitator to your growth, where you will always be the expert. My clinical interests involve working with neurodivergent individuals (autism, ADHD), life transitions, self-identity, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger management, boundary-setting/communication, relationship issues, as well as trauma-focused work. I’m excited to meet with you and look forward to what’s to come!

Many of the students I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or unsure how to manage everything on their plate. You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, trouble focusing, or feeling mentally exhausted from trying to keep up with school, work, and life. I work especially well with students who are navigating ADHD, autism/neuro-spicy, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, depression, or big life transitions. Some of my clients struggle with procrastination, staying organized, or following through on tasks, even when they really want to do well. Others feel constantly stressed, overthink everything, or have a hard time turning their mind off. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or just not like yourself lately, that’s enough. My approach is practical and supportive. We focus on real-life strategies that help you manage stress, improve focus, and feel more in control of your day-to-day life. At the same time, we’ll explore what’s underneath the stress so you can start to feel more grounded and confident. If you’re looking for a therapist who is easy to talk to and focused on helping you actually feel better, not just talk about problems, you’re in the right place.

Let’s be honest. Life gets real sometimes. Things happen and we can wind up feeling stuck, lost, or hopeless. To top it all off, we often feel pressured to put on a brave face and weather the storm. It’s for these reasons that I founded Sunshine Counseling. You deserve a space where you can be yourself, where you don’t have to hide, and where you can safely process life. Truth be told, I named my therapy practice after a mug my friend gave me which sarcastically declares, "I am a ray of freaking sunshine!" This cheeky little mug actually encapsulates my world view. It is not all sunshine and rainbows. And that's ok. I tailor my approach to individuals, their needs, and their state of change. I believe that therapy is all about relationships and I want to aid others in having a healthy relationship with themselves that can then translate to having one with the people they choose to hold in their lives. Reaching out for support is a big step. Snaps for making it to this point. When you are ready, let's connect to schedule a free consultation. If I’m not the right fit for you or do not have the particular training or expertise to assist you, I will provide you with alternative referrals.

Hello! I am a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor. I have specialized training in trauma, EMDR trained, and trained in trauma informed weightlifting.

I offer in person sessions in Marysville and telehealth sessions in Michigan. Issues addressed are ADHD, history of trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, abuse/neglect, and family matters.

My approach to therapy focuses on creating a warm, open, and supportive environment where clients feel at ease. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for fostering trust and promoting meaningful growth. I graduated from University of Delaware in 2011 with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Disabilities Studies. In 2016 I graduated from Michigan State University with a Masters in Clinical Social Work. I obtained my clinical license in the state of Delaware in 2018. I have maintained an independent practice since 2018 in addition to my full time career as a medical social worker.

I love working with college students to figure out what is going on beyond the words because sometimes it is not so clear. I work with clients on varying concerns. I know from personal experience how helpful and impactful therapy can be which is what ultimately led me to becoming a therapist. I utilize a person-centered approach with my clients. Therapy with me is tailor-made to fit you. I provide a non-judgmental, comfortable environment where clients feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. There is nothing you can say that will surprise me, and I am here to work with you.

I believe that health and wellness are best achieved by addressing the whole person, not simply the condition, adverse event or illness/disease. This holistic approach to care respects the individuality of persons, their environments and their physical and emotional needs. The therapeutic relationship is important and necessary in order to move forward in your areas of stagnation. This collaborative effort will allow for exploration when determining which therapeutic approach best matches your identified goals based on symptoms, personality and experiences. My approach is collaborative, warm, engaging and directive. I utilize evidenced based practices and interventions to assist you in meeting your treatment goals and needs. We will develop realistic and obtainable goals along with skill building. Therapy is hard work! Building your best self takes time. I look forward in walking alongside you on this journey.

Are you overwhelmed with life stressors due to family conflicts, prioritizing school, or systemic issues? Do you sometimes feel so anxious, depressed, misunderstood, or numb that you feel disconnected from everything or everyone? Are you constantly prioritizing everyone except yourself? Are you simply tired of feeling stuck or overthinking? Well I get it! Tribulations can arise despite our age, race, religion, sex, or background. Despite our intersectionality, we all deserve and need a safe space to explore our thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behaviors; understanding the impact allows us to recognize patterns and create better experiences.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 17 years of experience providing counseling and social work services to children, teens, adults, and families. My experience includes supporting clients dealing with adjusting to life changes and stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationships. Since completing a Sport Social Work Certification through the University of Michigan in 2022, I have added supporting athletes with their unique mental health and sports performance needs. Beginning therapy means different things to different people, but it is often an action of courage, hope, self-care, and self-determination. I value the importance of highlighting and exploring the unique strengths and resilience in each individual to help encourage hope, confidence, healing, and growth. My therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered therapy, emphasizing the exploration of what holds personal meaning for each individual with the emphasis on becoming self-aware and in tune with self. My goal is to provide genuine clinical support via teletherapy tailored to help clients achieve their personal goals in processing their focus of therapy while recognizing the importance of holistic wellness and addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being to foster a sense of overall wellness.
