Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I’m so glad you’re exploring therapy as a resource for moving forward. I specialize in working with women of all ages through compassionate, evidence-based treatments that not only address symptoms but also explore deeper roots of anxiety, relationship struggles, perfectionism, life changes, low confidence, and grief. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy with a holistic lens that considers the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of who you are.

Ann Marie's passion is to help people that have been through traumatic experiences, whether that abuse was emotional, physical, or sexual. As each person is a unique individual, the modalities utilized in therapy are also varied and determined on an individual basis. Her treatment focus includes, but is not limited to: first responders, active/former military personnel, trauma, sex trafficking survivors, chronic/terminal illness, bariatric surgery patients, geriatrics, and life transitions. Ann Marie's goal is to provide compassion, empathy, and a safe place in which to work through one's struggles without judgement. Therapy is most successful when conducted through a strong sense of collaboration. She will be there to help you find your inner compass and identify strengths that will lead you to positive changes in your life.

Does the word “people-pleaser” apply to you? Do you find yourself often swept away in the whirlwind of other people’s troubles? Is it challenging to get what you need and want from others? Have you maybe become aware of some trauma and want to begin healing from it? Are you ready and motivated to grow more as a person and live a more authentic life? I can help! I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives. I’m here to help you access your own power to create the changes you want to see. Also, I incorporate a holistic and feminist approach, inviting clients to discuss and process systemic and cultural issues. My focus is to create a safe, validating, and nonjudgmental environment for you to explore any and all elements of yourself, your life, and your connections with others. I often work with people struggling with codependency, trauma, and relationship/family issues as well as anxiety and depression. My clients learn to better regulate their emotions, improve communication skills, increase self-confidence, overcome limiting beliefs, feel empowered, explore life goals and values, and identify what they want in their lives. I have training in treating trauma and skill-building. I work with individuals from various cultural backgrounds, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

I hope to walk alongside you on your journey to achieve it.

Hey there, I'm really glad you're here. Let me tell you a bit about why therapy is so meaningful to me. I began my own journey into therapy when I was younger, facing similar struggles to what you might be experiencing now. It wasn't easy, but therapy became my light during those tough times. It showed me that even in the midst of darkness, there's hope and room for joy. Now, I'm here to offer you that same support and guidance. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to walk alongside you, helping you find the tools you need to feel better. I work with people ages 18 and up who are dealing with challenges such as anxiety and depression.

I'm here to listen, to understand, and to help you reclaim your life, step by step. Here's what you can expect from our time together: a safe, judgment-free space where you can share your story and explore your emotions. It's about building trust and working together towards your goals. From learning relaxation techniques to finding ways to silence negative thoughts, we'll tackle things at your pace.

Welcome to my practice! My approach to therapy is relational, culturally aware, and grounded in deep respect for each client’s unique story. I want to hear YOUR story and help you find your "a-ha!" moment. My therapy style is to integrate psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and humanistic principles to support a deeper understanding of the self and the inner systems that influence thoughts and emotions. I believe that healing is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their healing journey, develop self-compassion, and create lasting change.

Do tests make you break into a sweat? Stuck in fear of what next steps to take? Unsure of how to make friends? Do you strive to be the person who can do it all, all of the time for everyone-but you're secretly running on fumes? Feeling exhausted or unmotivated? Let's chat. College and young adulthood are hard. Not everyone gets it-and you have some major decisions to make during this time. All while trying to navigate finding and maintaining relationships, working, and getting good grades. And it may feel like you're running out of time and mental energy to figure it all out. This is where counseling comes in. Together, we slow down the process. We create coping skills, find what works for you and give you space to share your thoughts and feelings. We work on building skills you can use now and in the future. This is time and space for you to explore, learn and grow-mostly about you! This is for you.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” Lao Tzu Welcome, thank you for looking at my profile. I am a bilingual Spanish/English therapist who believes in the power of self-discovery and insight to generate change. I believe in kindness and that each and everyone of us has something positive to bring and share with others. With over ten years of experience helping families through major life events, I have gained a strong grasp of resilience and determination. I am committed to upholding everyone’s inherent dignity, sense of belonging, and capacity for self-determination. My approach to counseling is rooted in cultural humility, a commitment to understanding your unique background without making assumptions. I recognize the profound impact that culture, identity, and background play in our lives. I approach every session with genuine curiosity and respect, valuing your experiences and perspectives as the expert on your own story. I provide an environment that is welcoming, empowering, and, above all, focused on your individual needs. Recognizing that you are the foremost authority on your own experience, my aim is to support you throughout this process and collaborate in a manner that aligns with your present goals. Whether you’re facing life changes, dealing with anxiety, depression, experienced trauma, family conflict, or exploring your identity, I offer tools and insights for healing and growth. If you want judgment-free support on this journey, I welcome the opportunity to help. Over the past decade, I have worked with marginalized communities, especially immigrants who have encountered various forms of trauma and who are adapting to the complex process of acculturation. I have experience working with families and children in various residential settings and within the foster care system. Furthermore, I have experience working with clients who have sustained traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and supporting their process of adjustment and recovery. My favorite activities include outdoor pursuits, enjoying nature, cooking, gardening, reading, crafting, and spending time with family, friends, and pets.

Do you feel stuck in survival mode where anxiety, grief or trauma overwhelms your life? Together, we will build an affirming space where you can feel safe to process, explore and grow. Therapy with me is about collaboratively exploring your life and who you want to be. I believe that one of the most important things to healing is building a safe space where you can pause and catch your breath. This can begin in the counseling space where my goal is to first build safety and trust.

I have spent most of my life surrounded by people who are uncomfortable with or unwilling to discuss their bodies and sexual desires. This has always felt like an injustice as having a someone that you feel comfortable discussing sex with can be a very healing and enlightening experience. Our bodies and sex are inherent parts of self and I believe that your relationship to and understanding of your body is one of your core forms of knowing yourself. To understand your desires, or lack thereof, is to better understand yourself as a whole. I enjoy working with people who wish to understand themselves better on a sexual level. If you are someone who is working to unpack purity culture, working to reclaim your body after a sexual assault, working through discrepancies in sex drives with your partner, working to have an organism, or you are exploring kink I would love to be the person who provides you with a comfortable and safe space to do so. Another one of my passions is exploring the relationship between ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergence with your ability to experience both sexual desire and sexual gratification as it is largely under-discussed and deeply important. I would love to work with you as you figure out what that relationship looks like for you, and how desire and sex function with your specific wants and needs. The more you learn about and understand your relationship with desire, the more comfortable and confident you can feel in and out of the bedroom. Gaining the confidence to own what you want, or even understand why you want it, will help you gain a sense of freedom. You deserve to feel confident in your relationship with your bodily autonomy. I cannot wait to work with you as you empower yourself in your body, in your sex life, and your life as a whole.

Hello! I am a LCSW in Indiana and New Jersey and a LMSW-C in Michigan. I offer virtual individual therapy sessions to adults in these three states. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty regulating emotions, dealing with stress, and unique struggles of individuals within marginalized communities, such as LGBTQIA+ folx. I specialize in trauma and personality disorders. I accept many major insurance plans.

Getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible so we can go at your pace. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and addiction. Many of my clients have tried to cope with difficult life changes by pushing their feelings away or finding short-term coping mechanisms that serve as a distraction. My role is to help people listen to and manage their emotions without feeling overwhelmed or ruled by them. Being personally in recovery from alcohol helps me understand and empathize with what you’re going through because I’ve probably been there too. I like to break down clinical approaches to collaboratively determine the best fit for each person’s unique goals. I incorporate elements of neurobiology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and schema work to help people better understand themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives. If you're not sure what you're looking for yet, that's okay! Feel free to reach out to set up an introductory phone call to see if we're a good fit.

I work primarily with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression and diminished self-esteem. These issues manifest in many different ways and may include an inability to make decisions, difficulty maintaining relationships, low confidence, discomfort in social settings, exhaustion, fears that may seem irrational and poor view of self. I enjoy digging into these issues because they can be debilitating and it is amazing to witness the life change that can occur through therapeutic self discovery. Through the use of Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, my focus involves supporting clients in self-esteem development, anxiety reduction, mood improvement and personal growth. It is important to me that my clients truly feel heard and I strive to instill strength in every session. If you are ready to take control of your life, move past fear and doubt and really SOAR, schedule an appointment today. I am excited to join you in this journey of healing and self discovery!

Living in your body may feel exhausting, unfamiliar, or even unsafe. Trauma, relationship harm, health changes or chronic illness, and struggles with body image and eating can leave us feeling disconnected and stuck between overwhelm and shutdown. I offer a warm, grounded presence where you can feel seen and begin cultivating a deeper sense of self-trust and wholeness - a space to explore lived experiences and learn supportive wellness practices. I work with busy students who are carrying the weight of stress, trauma, and grief while navigating immense transitions and responsibilities. Many of my clients are healing from sexual violence, emotional relationship harm, chronic/invisible illness and health-related changes (migraines, endometriosis, PCOS, POTS, cancer), and concerns around relationship with body and food, including disordered eating. I've supported students and young adults for over a decade, with many years of experience working in a college specialty counseling clinic. I use a mind-body approach that blends somatic (body-based), cognitive, and mindfulness practices including Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping). This helps us understand ourselves with compassion, cope with emotional overwhelm and physical body discomfort, heal from trauma, and reconnect to relationships and activities that nourish us. I find great joy in serving multicultural and multi-faith communities while providing a weight-inclusive, culturally-affirming, and trauma-informed space where all parts of you are welcome.

I use a warm and empathetic approach to therapy, which can be incredibly beneficial to my clients. My focus on creating a comfortable and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings allows me to tailor my methods to each client’s specific needs. I have 14 years of experience which brings a wealth of knowledge and skills to the therapeutic relationship, especially with my use of various therapeutic techniques in conjunction with my eclectic theoretical orientation. Clients seeking therapy with me can expect a supportive environment where they can work through challenges and gain new perspectives. Creating a space that feels comfortable and friendly really helps clients open up and explore their thoughts and feelings more freely. Coupled with my various therapeutic techniques displays my well-rounded approach. That helps you reach your therapy goals, quickly.
