Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Taking the first step toward finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. As a therapist, my role is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered as you work toward your goals. Together, we’ll explore ways to navigate life’s challenges and find tools to help you cope and grow. I bring a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, combining humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapies to meet your unique needs. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, ranging in age from 13 to 65, and I specialize in supporting people dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, social anxiety, and other concerns. My practice focuses on creating a safe and welcoming space where you can share your thoughts and experiences comfortably. I believe in the importance of a person-centered approach, self-discovery, and honoring your strengths to foster growth. At the same time, I incorporate practical CBT coping tools to help you find relief and make meaningful changes. If you’re considering therapy, I would love to connect and answer any questions you may have. Taking this step is brave, and I’m here to make the process feel as comfortable as possible. Thank you for reading my profile—I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Coming to therapy for the first time can feel daunting. We all crave familiarity, so stepping into growth often brings discomfort—but that discomfort can serve as a catalyst for transformation. As a therapist, I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, offering support through the process of self-discovery. I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly and without judgment. I view my role as a collaborative partner in helping you untangle what feels overwhelming, while honoring that you are the expert in your own life. My approach to therapy is intuitive, curious, and deeply client-centered. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), tailoring techniques to best address each individual’s needs. I believe that strong therapeutic relationships are built on empathy, patience, and authenticity. As we work together, I’ll offer a balance of support and challenge, helping you move toward the changes you’re seeking at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach begins with the understanding that connecting with one’s self and others is a pathway toward finding meaning and fulfillment. This pathway of connecting can become blocked by old emotional wounds or current relationship struggles. The partnership formed in the therapy relationship becomes the platform where healing broken connections may occur. This approach can help bring about lasting change by getting at the ‘root’ of the problem and bring relief from symptoms. Central to Chris’ approach is a concern for the role that faith and belief play in the life of the patient. My practice is shaped by his time training at Northwestern University, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, and the Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago. My approach to working to help people change comes primarily from a model for psychotherapy where tending to feelings, symptoms, and patterns of relating become an important part of the healing process. In our first conversation, you can expect to briefly discuss your concerns as well as setting up an initial meeting. The first meeting is where your concerns and history are better understood in order to offer specific recommendations and feedback.

Many college students feel overwhelmed trying to balance school, relationships, family expectations, and their own wellbeing. You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, past trauma, ADHD challenges, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step. You don’t have to handle it alone. I’m Tammy Wilson, founder of Resilience Counseling & Play Therapy, a group practice with a team of therapists and counseling interns who work with children, teens, and adults. I primarily work with adults and children who want a supportive place to process life stress, difficult experiences, and major transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person. Some students prefer talking things through, while others benefit from experiential approaches such as EMDR, cognitive-behavioral strategies, or sandtray therapy to explore thoughts and emotions that are hard to put into words. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can build resilience, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Hi, I am a Licensed Social Worker. I offer years of experience working with people 16-90 years of age. I strive to learn and grow in order to be the most help for the people who come to me for services. My desire to gain knowledge has led me to studying narrative therapy, which pulls from people's desired way of being in the world in order to create movement. I have also studied problems around alcohol, drugs and sexuality. This interest has led me to be certified as a sex therapist as well as certified addiction specialist. I have offered sex therapy for the past seven years, and substance use therapy for over twenty years.

I work with individuals seeking deeper self-awareness and clarity around the root causes of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship challenges. If you feel stuck in repetitive patterns or disconnected from your authentic self, I offer guidance to explore and heal past wounds, trauma, or relational dynamics. Grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion, my approach supports emotional growth by examining how past experiences shape present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I strive to create a safe, empathic space where you can explore your inner world, strengthen your connection to yourself, and navigate life’s challenges with greater understanding and care.

I work with all individuals age 18 and older if any gender. My practice focuses mainly on anxiety and depression, but I have a lot of experience in addiction. I’ve also worked with chronic pain, some trauma and have access for referral to trauma specialists. I am wanting to help in crisis situations and I personally am available for short term pro bono.

The clients I've worked with that have reported the greatest success all have one thing in common: They tried their hardest in and out of session to challenge themselves. I firmly believe that every person has the answers they are searching for within themselves. I often work with clients to build up their faith & trust within themselves so that they no longer go through life second guessing everything they do. During the young adult stage of life people often believe that they are supposed to have everything in their life figured out. I believe that if you really work hard at getting to know yourself, you will have all the tools you'll need to figure out what is best for you going forward.

I enjoy being a comforting confidant to others who are struggling. My goal as a therapist is to invite you into a safe environment and to be a conduit of empowerment, education, and healing. The therapeutic process is an invitation to heal, grow, and confidently move forward in achieving your goals and dreams. I use a diverse approach in sessions composed of the following theories: Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and inner healing prayer. I obtained a BA in Psychology from the University of Nevada Reno and an MA in Counseling from Cornerstone University. My favorite internship experience was at the campus center working with college students just like you! I have 6.5 years of experience working in an inpatient setting as a group therapist, crisis counselor, and discharge planner in the California Bay Area. I worked with many people who had layers of trauma, severe mental illness, and homelessness. This experience taught me the true value of nonjudgmental listening and the significance of supportive advocacy. In addition, I have 6 years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) providing Applied Behavioral Analysis and support to children with Autism. I am excited to relocate to Michigan to be close to family once again and to have the opportunity to counsel at Hope and Wholeness Psychology Center. In my free time, I enjoy time with family and friends, hiking, crafting, cooking, and tea parties.

Therapy is the ultimate form of self care. It can lead to radical self-acceptance, allowing you to manifest the positive goals you have for your life. Seeking therapy traditionally has had barriers, and I know breaking those barriers will create a better, more accessible, revolutionary, and empathic society. My clinical interests include working with LGBTQIA+ issues, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, domestic violence, and times of adjustment and change. I come from person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-focused modalities. I utilize an eclectic approach in our sessions, as each client is different. I believe in a therapeutic relationship that is equal and balanced. Our goals will be mutual and dynamic. You are an expert in your life, and I look forward to working together to create the healthy and positive change you see for yourself.

The term Legacy by definition means "something of value transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." As I reflect upon my life I noticed people who laid up for me a legacy, a promise and hope. The most influential people who have impacted my life and who established a legacy for me were my grandparents. They established a legacy, it was the legacy of care, compassion, and goodwill to mankind. I saw kindness, love, patience, meekness, faithfulness, and gentleness and these are the qualities I bring into the therapeutic relationships. I am a believer that everyone's birth was triggered in the earth-realm for a purpose. There is a purpose attached to your life. I believe in helping people reach that purpose. Through the work that I do I seek to restore hope, and establish a legacy of abundant life. My goal as a fully licensed psychologist is to create an environment where you feel safe to be transparent to address whatever issues concern you. I look forward to entering into an alliance with you so you may begin the healing process, create a legacy and fulfill your life purpose.
