Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Living a “life worth living” can seem like a path only others get to travel, while our journey feels unfair, exceedingly difficult, or at times impossible. At times we discover that our struggles are the result of the choices we made, or the choices others have made that affect us. At other times, we unknowingly hold onto faulty beliefs about ourselves or others, living as if they are true or accurate. To cope, we develop strategies to make the journey seem more doable. They can indeed be helpful and carry us toward our goals, or be the very obstacle that prevents us from achieving our potential. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Diplomate with the NASW in Clinical Social Work. I have worked with children, teens, young adults, and adults, as a practitioner of DBT,and CBT, supportive therapies, and multiple trauma modalities such as Prolonged Exposure, Traumatic Incident Reduction, TF-CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. If you find that this description of “living” resonates for you, therapy may provide the hurdle help you need to claim or reclaim your agency. Goodness of fit is a crucial variable in therapy. There are many therapists in our community who may be that link for you. If after reading my profile, we may seem like a good fit, give me a call.

I aim to meet the individualized needs of each person, couple, and family I work with and take a collaborative approach in setting goals for therapy. I use a family systems approach to explore how multiple areas of a person's life impacts their experiences and current struggles. I work on achieving these goals through a variety of measures, including personal exploration, role play and exercises used in and outside of session, implementation of improved communication skills, and boundary setting. My work with individuals, as well as couples and families focuses on relationships of all kinds. I address parenting issues, social skills, family conflict, and transitions including entrance into college and the workforce. I have experience working with substance abuse and mental health symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds, with a focus on couples, families, adolescents, and young adults. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Michigan. I am able to hold in person and telehealth appointments. Feel free to call or email me with any questions or to set up an appointment!

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here! Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re driven and expected to hold it all together. I work with holistic-minded adults, including entrepreneurs, professionals, athletes, neurodivergent individuals, transgendered individuals, and those with chronic illness or invisible disabilities, exploring identity, creativity, or burnout. I’m very laid back; come as you are. Curse, wear pajamas, lay in bed, be human. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, just show up. Only rule: please don’t drive during sessions or do anything that could harm yourself or others.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Bethany and I use the pronouns she/her. Counseling is a big step; I want to help you find a way to live more authentically the life you want and help you step into your power. We are all unique and have our own desires and goals. As your counselor, it is not my job to tell you what to do. I am here to help you through the process, provide tools, and build a relationship that supports you as an individual. I think it is most important to meet my clients where they're at and it is likely no one counseling style will fit perfectly. I have experience providing CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, and solution focused therapy. However, while some aspects of these therapy styles may be present, it is more important to provide a safe supportive environment to learn and grow. I firmly believe that counseling should be a judgement free zone and I offer unconditional positive regard as a cornerstone of my counseling style. My background is in working with youth who have experienced trauma. I offer queer and trans affirming therapy and advocacy.
