Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Depression, anxiety, and trauma can show up in ways that feel overwhelming or hard to untangle—especially during periods of major life change. I’m Vivian, and I focus on providing a steady, reliable space for you to slow down and reflect. My approach centers on creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable being completely open about your experiences, helping you make sense of what you’ve been carrying while moving toward something more manageable. I’ve always believed that even in the middle of a difficult season, there is a path toward clarity if we are willing to look for it together. As a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) with a background in both clinical training and behavioral health, I bring a practical and observant approach to the healing process. My experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has taught me the value of focusing on progress over perfection—celebrating small wins while making plenty of room for the real-life challenges that come with growth. I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples and groups, which has given me a broad understanding of how we relate to one another and ourselves. Whether we meet in person or virtually, my goal is to help you build the practical coping strategies and emotional insight you need to navigate life with more balance. I often think of my role as providing an objective mirror when things feel cloudy, helping you find your own internal compass. I am dedicated to being a consistent presence in your corner, offering the tools and encouragement needed to help you move from a place of surviving to a place of true confidence and calm.

Hello, my name is Jessica. I am passionate about helping individuals and families find hope and healing amidst life's challenges. I provide client-centered counseling services, which allows us to focus on how your situation impacts you, as well as use and develop skills and resources to support you in achieving your goals. I graduated from Cornerstone University with my B.S. in Youth Ministry in 2015 and have over 10 years of working with teens and young adults in various capacities. From here, I returned to Cornerstone to finish my M.A. in Counseling. I have a specialization in working with teens, young adults, and their families, but also enjoy working with people of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. My story gives me a unique perspective in understanding the challenges of ministry leadership, women experiencing infertility, adoption, and unexpected death loss.

I work best with students who feel like they are carrying the weight of the world—whether that comes from a history of abuse, difficult experiences with religion, or just the overwhelming pressure to keep it all together. You might feel like you have to be "on" all the time for your classes or friends, but inside, you are struggling to find solid ground. I provide a "Safe Harbor" where you can drop the act and be real. As a former firefighter, I am not afraid of the heavy stuff; I offer a judgment-free space to process trauma, anxiety, or deep questions about your faith and identity. You don't have to navigate this alone. As a Counselor in Training, I offer flexible, affordable options because I believe a tight student budget shouldn't stop you from finding peace. Let's work together to help you stop just surviving school and start actually living your life.

I'm here to be a support and safe place as you face a time of many life transitions. I often mix a little bit of humor and gentle accountability into sessions. My clients are often seeking support to navigate relationships, identity, and future goals. My multi-state licensure allows for continuity of care even when students are moving between multiple states. Schedule a free consultation on my website today! http://www.calliazimmerman.com/contact

College can be really hard — it definitely was for me. I struggled with the transition, felt lost in who I was, and went through a lot: relationship issues, self-esteem stuff, grief, even addiction. That’s part of what brought me to therapy, and eventually to becoming a therapist myself. Now, I work with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of who they are. I know how lonely it can feel when things get heavy — and I also know that healing is possible. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I won’t give you generic advice or try to “fix” you — instead, we’ll explore what’s going on in a way that feels real, safe, and supportive. I specialize in trauma, identity, grief, anxiety, and neurodivergence. I’m also LGBTQ+ affirming and really care about creating space for all parts of who you are. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We can start wherever you are.

Hi there, I’m Maire Grupp, a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Indiana and Michigan. If you’re reading this, you may be looking for some backup in navigating challenges in your life. I am here to help. I work with individuals, families, and youth who are navigating grief, anxiety, life transitions, depression, and other challenges. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to move at your own pace in an inclusive environment suitable for all individuals, including neurodiverse individuals and those who identify across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. My goal is to provide care that is both compassionate and effective. My background includes hospice and grief counseling, crisis response, and community mental health case management.

I use a variety of evidenced based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), dialectal behavioral therapy (DBT), Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT), and creative expression, among others. My approach is eclectic and tailored to your unique needs and life experience. Outside of work, I enjoy baking, creative writing, spending time outdoors, and time with my wonderful cats.

Cultures are tricky even when we live in the same country. Do you feel it's difficult to be fully understood? Do you feel 'conflict with others' happen often? Sometimes, we feel lonely, lost, and discouraged when going through life transitions, good or bad. Transition could be a break-up, a loss of a loved one, a new cultural/sexual identity, starting in a new school or new semester. You don’t have to go through those transitions alone. Therapy is a safe space for you to explore the complex emotions that come with those changes. I take an integrative approach in helping you realize your own potential to achieve wellness. Knowing Cantonese and Mandarin allows me to understand my client's perspective from their own native language.

The challenges in life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, lonely, depressed, anxious, and many other emotions. Sharing your story takes courage. I strive to provide clients with a safe and nonjudgmental environment to process life’s stressors, enhance current strengths, and explore skills to improve communication, boundaries, healthy coping skills, and resilience. I take a relational approach to therapy, meaning I believe that feeling truly seen, heard, and understood is an important part of healing. I value creating a genuine, trusting relationship with my clients where you can feel safe being your authentic self. I have over a decade of experience in providing mental health care in inpatient, partial hospitalization, outpatient, and primary care settings. I have worked with individuals of all ages who have struggled with adjustment, ADHD, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, perinatal mood disorders, bipolar and psychotic disorders, personality disorders, self harm, and suicidal thoughts. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations. I look forward to working with you!

Accepting new clients! Hi There! My name is Olivia and I want to let you know I understand that life can be challenging much more than we can handle. However, by doing some therapy, your perspective may shift to your benefit and you’d be closer to meeting your goals. If things are little more complicated, we may need a little more than just few sessions. Whatever your need I am sure we can sort it out and discuss in more detail. I would love to hear from you! I am currently accepting patients virtually. I mainly use a client centered approach, allowing you to unpack your worries in the order you desire to release and share. I ask questions, as needed to progress towards the goals you desire to meet. Modalities I use include: Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy. Aside from being a therapist, I'm also a mother to three wonderful children and have been married since 2010. I have had my own trials and tribulations and I understand what it's like to be on the other side of the therapeutic process. My own journey has allowed me to better connect and understand humans on a deeper level.

I’m Brittany, a licensed therapist who works with college students and young adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’re constantly trying to “keep up” but can’t quite get there.

My approach is tailored to each person, integrating practical strategies with deeper work to support meaningful, lasting change. My style is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you feel more in control of your life - not just in sessions, but day-to-day.

Cassie offers telehealth sessions to individuals in Michigan and in-person sessions in Lansing (about 5 minutes from MSU's campus).

Calling all stressed-out, anxious Jewish college students! You’re figuring out who you are—while juggling exams, dating apps, and the gnawing feeling that the world is falling apart. Add in questions about your Jewish identity, complicated family dynamics, and maybe a roommate who thinks antisemitism ended in 1945—and it’s a lot. You don’t have to process it alone. Therapy can be a place to bring your spiraling thoughts, perfectionism, existential dread, and hope for the future. You deserve a life free from the constant grip of anxiety. My clients finish their sessions feeling more at peace, more centered, and less tense in their bodies. Through our work, they become less critical of themselves. They learn how to manage difficult emotions. They also feel a sense of belonging. You’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries and ask for what you need more easily. You can rediscover pleasure in intimacy with your partner and grow more confident in expressing your needs. Weekends will bring laughter again, and work will start to feel rewarding instead of draining. You’ll be able to focus on your goals and tackle that To-Do list without spiraling into panic or curling up on the couch. You can step into the present moment with calm, clarity, and confidence.
