Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I have personally experienced medical issues with my own children, childhood trauma, and sports related injuries. I have also personally dealt with anxiety and depression. I've had my own therapy journey, so understand how you feel throughout the process. We will explore past and current experiences you've had, as well as options that will be beneficial for you. I have years of experience with clients with disabilities, autism, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I was one of the lead therapists assisting survivors of the Parkland School shooting. I strive for a comfortable, open environment where you can discuss any issue freely. We work together as a team on this journey!

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.

Do you know there are 104 words you can find in the 9 letters that make up the word POTENTIAL? There are. I've found every one of them (the first time without an app to help me!). I'm committed to helping my clients find all the things inside to help them live out their potential: heal from trauma, work through anxiety and depression, whatever it may be. I use the good, bad, and otherwise to help them become better.

Our practice is welcoming and inclusive. We are located in Allendale off of Lake Michigan Drive about half a mile from the Grand Valley State University main campus. The building is private with plenty of parking. The office is about 20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Holland, and Muskegon.

Hi there! My name is Jessica, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I believe the real job of therapy is to provide a safe place where you get to know yourself better and make changes in your life. My goal is to help you express emotions that are interfering with your life, and guide you through them at your own pace. It is a collaborative process where we work together to explore what you are going through and identify what you are looking to accomplish. It is important to me throughout this process you are feeling heard, understood, and respected. My idea of successful therapy includes you walking out with new ideas and new ways of doing things that fit your personal values and bring you happiness. It is my passion and privilege to join in this journey with you. I provide therapy services for adults, adolescents, and children. I have participated in several trainings over the years centered on play and art therapy techniques.

I love working with college aged clients who are struggling with difficulties adjusting to new circumstances, anxiety, stress management, and relational concerns. I work from a very relational and warm approach, utilizing a variety of methods to help my clients meet the goals they set. I meet with clients weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly (if appropriate). If in the Bloomington area, I offer walk talk in addition to in office and telehealth.

Our group of clinicians embrace an eclectic approach individual to each client's needs to create a safe space for therapeutic processing and healing. We have in person, virtual options with female and male therapists and pre-licensed therapist interns.

Life is a journey with many twists and turns. Along the way we experience some good things and some not so good things, but all life experiences make up who we are in this very moment. Everyone deserves to be able to tell their story and to be heard. I’m here to help support my clients so they have a voice and can determine their own life direction and meaning. I primarily use tools from cognitive behavioral therapies and mindfulness in working with substance abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety, anger management, ADHD/impulse control, and life transitions. I help individuals gain a deeper understanding of how motivation, executive functioning, and overall functionality affect their daily lives. ​I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Michigan State University in 2011, and received my Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology and Graduate Certificate in Substance Abuse and Addiction from Western Michigan University in 2015.

I am an optimistic and passionate therapist who is eager to walk beside you as you transform and work toward the life goals you are striving for. I chose this path because I am truly interested in the story each person has to tell. I find myself truly in awe of what a person in a mindset of change is capable of. As your fellow human I know personally the impact of therapy and how intentional focus can truly shape your future. My treatment approach begins with your strengths and how we can build on what is already working well. I focus on solutions derived from small points of change that create a big impact. I routinely facilitate reviews of goal progress to ensure your time and energy is well spent. Outside of goals, I encourage therapy to be a neutral zone, a safe place to release the clutter and sound of your everyday life. I believe that the answers to all you are looking for are within you, I am here to ask the right questions and provide the opportunity to listen to yourself. Speciality areas: Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Grief, Overcoming Trauma, Parenting and Relationships.

To me, therapy is the act of helping people learn to experience their emotions safely in the moment, to be truly present and their genuine selves as they go about their day. I work with people to bring awareness to the impact of the past, to make conscious the connections and patterns that inform our everyday experience so that they can decide whether they want to continue with them or if they want to try something new. Therapy is the practice of getting to know yourself and working out what’s best for you. It is the practice of loosening these binds and learning to live free and fully present in our lives. Employing an integrative approach utilizing both psychodynamic and cognitive-based interventions, I have experience providing both long and short term treatment for individuals, groups and couples focusing on issues such as trauma, sexuality and relationships, developmental issues, self-harm, grief and loss, and depression and anxiety. Whatever you have been through, whatever you are going through, you have the power to take control of your mental and emotional health; therapy simply means you don’t have to do it alone.

I have worked with clients from many different backgrounds across the lifespan who are suffering, lost, or just looking for a place to talk. Most commonly, I have worked with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, family struggles, relationship stress, and life transitions. As a therapist, I take an approach that is individualized and client-centered. I develop a treatment plan collaboratively with my clients based on their expertise of their own lives. I draw my interventions from behavioral approaches and frequently incorporate self-compassion work with clients. Through my undergraduate and graduate studies, I learned a lot about human behavior. Through my clinical experience and in my own journey, I learned a lot about healing. I am so grateful to serve others through this work every day.
