Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

An essential part of our lives is creating and maintaining connections: to ourselves, other people, and the world around us. Sometimes, those connections require extra attention, in order to get the most out of life. I would be honored to walk with you through the process of learning about and cultivating that inner and outer connectedness. I work from a person-centered, holistic, and mindfulness-based approach. This means that I try to help my clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while practicing to re-regulate their body sensations in the moment. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s connect! It's easiest for me to communicate by email, so if you reach out with a brief description of what you'd like help with we can get the process started.

I work with teens and adults who are thoughtful, sensitive, and often high-functioning, but are carrying more than others can see. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or feeling caught in patterns that are hard to change. My work is neurodivergent-affirming. This means I don’t see ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence as problems to fix, but as important parts of how you experience the world. Whether you have a diagnosis or are simply exploring, I offer a space to better understand your brain, reduce shame, and build a life that honors your needs and strengths. I also support clients navigating trauma, grief, religious or spiritual hurt, identity shifts, and major life transitions. I offer a grounded, respectful space for exploring emotion, meaning, and self-connection. My approach integrates somatic awareness, relational depth, and gentle structure to bring steadiness and coherence. I honor grief, sensitivity, and identity work as pathways toward clarity, healing, and renewal. I am also trained in Brainspotting, a somatic therapy and am working toward becoming ADHD-CCDP certified. Therapy can offer steadiness, a place to listen inward, integrate, and reconnect with yourself. It would be an honor to be a part of your support team.

My name is Renee Rose. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Art Therapist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider. I have extensive trauma training and experience working with individuals and families. I specialize in working with women during and after pregnancy. I also enjoy supporting people with anxiety and depression symptoms as well as people that are having difficulty in relationships (making and keeping friendships or intimate relationships, communication issues and/or difficulty setting boundaries with self or others). Additionally, I enjoy helping people discover themselves as they become young adults and how that impacts their relationships.

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. My hours vary for easy accessibility. I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have. You are so brave in taking this first, and often hardest, step towards your goal.

Emotional peace and freedom are possible, whatever storm you may find yourself in. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relational conflict, family stressors, and who want to know themselves more deeply. So often there are a multitude of factors at play- relationships, academics, work, culture, and more- and therapy can be a place to explore how these impact thoughts, feelings, experiences, and your sense of self. It is my hope and commitment to create a space where exploring your challenges and goals can allow for the kind of growth and peace you want in your life and relationships.

Hi, my name is Monday Ogbeibor and I am a board -certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have over 5 years of experience working in mental health, and my strengths include finding the right diagnoses, managing and changing medications, and providing psychotherapy to those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, sleep disturbance, anger management, psychosis, substance abuse, and eating disorder. Current clients describe me as a great listener, and I love to give ample time to truly hear what you've been feeling so we can come up with the right plan of action. I like to create an environment where you feel understood and comfortable. Opening up to someone new can be hard, but we'll really get to know each other and by the end of our first appointment, we will no longer be strangers, but rather partners on your journey to healing. If right now you are feeling pain, sadness, constant stress, or panic... if you're not sleeping or feeling like your life is chaotic... if you're struggling to navigate relationships (with family, or food, or drugs) none of that has to be your norm. You don't have to suffer through it. My goal at the end of the day is to give you options and strategies that you maybe didn't know were available to you so you can live your best life. I am currently accepting new patients, and I've been known to be speedy and on time when my clients need me. I look forward to supporting you and am excited to meet you.

Phil is a therapist with 30+ years of experience who uses a model of counseling that integrates mental health, physical health, nutritional and spiritual elements. For years, his focus has been on improving his clients well-being. Phil’s definition of “well-being” entails living one’s values, talents and strengths. Having the health and energy to live well, and having fulfilling relationships. Ultimately, it’s about aligning each client’s purpose, goal commitments, meaning and values as they live their life. Career well-being. Phil works with persons who want to experience satisfaction, purpose and meaning in their work. High school students who are confused about their future. College students who are unsure and confused about the academic and vocational path they’re on. Adults who feel stuck in a job that's boring and lacks challenge. Phil is an avid runner and has been for the past 25 years. This, coupled with his focus on diet and nutrition, has enabled him to successfully manage his own health conditions. The changes he has made to his lifestyle over the past 25 years have been integral to his own sense of well-being.

I work with children, teens, and adults across the lifespan to build self-esteem and confidence, so that you can feel happier and less stressed. As a former student, we might struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, worry, family issues, or an inner critic that can make the school year feel impossible. We can work together to reduce the "what ifs" and self-critical thoughts that can come with anxiety, panic, and depression. Everyone is unique, which is why I use a variety of skills and approaches in sessions, pulling from both art and science. No matter your age, I love to bring play and creativity into sessions like art, movement, and writing to assist with self-expression, building confidence, and exploring your strengths. Therapy can be like a laboratory- we can try out different approaches to find what works for you, or we can use it as a testing ground to explore how you'd like others to see you. Prior to landing at Therapy Today, I worked at a community mental health agency that served youth and families, many of whom were first-generation or had recently moved to the U.S. I gained experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and helping families struggling with life transitions, loss, and family conflict. While earning my Master of Social Work at the University of Michigan, I also served as a school-based therapist and worked alongside parents, teachers, school psychologists, and other professionals to help children continue to learn and grow. When out of the office I enjoy crafting and painting. I also like to play soccer and go out on walks to connect with nature. When it's too cold to be outside, I spend my time indoors playing video games.

I specialize in working with youth and adults, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, who are navigating complex emotions and challenges with grief, anxiety, depression, identity, and chronic illness and pain. As a Registered Art Therapist and Counselor, I offer a unique, holistic approach that blends Art Therapy and counseling for healing and growth through creative expression. Together, we'll create a safe and affirming space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. In our sessions, you’ll find a nurturing space that supports you in processing emotions and thoughts around difficult experiences. We’ll work together to help you discover new ways to express yourself and gain valuable insights. I'll support you in building skills to handle uncertainty and grow compassion towards yourself and your experiences. Art Therapy is a practice I utilize with clients to help process difficult experiences and emotions. Art therapy involves the creative process of art-making to help clients better understand their cognitive thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I consider the use of art therapy with counseling to enhance self-exploration, reflection, and personal insight. All my clients have the option to include Art Therapy in our work if they would like, no prior experience with art-making is necessary. If you're curious about how I can help support you with your specific therapeutic needs, feel free to reach out for a free 20-minute phone consultation. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about getting started! No matter where you are in your journey, I'm here to support you in blooming fully into the person you aspire to become.

Therapy is all about walking alongside someone in their journey through life. Reaching out for counseling takes courage, humility and strength. I'm not here to give you advice. You already have the answers! I'm here to help you incorporate them into your daily life. My goal is to meet you where you are today, and to create a warm and safe environment throughout therapy. I truly believe that you are the expert on yourself and therefore take a collaborative approach to therapy where we will work together on setting goals and creating effective change. Our life's journey presents a variety of challenges and I am here to help you identify your strengths and skills, process your thoughts and help you determine the best ways to respond to these struggles. I would feel honored to walk alongside you as you experience peace, freedom, personal growth and a more vibrant life through better mental health and wellness.

I’m excited to work with college students during this unique part of their journey in life. I specialize in trauma, drug abuse, and of course mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. So feel free to call/text/e-mail me today to answer any questions you may have about therapy.
