Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I work with variety of clients, but most of my clients come to me for help with relationship issues -- significant other, friend, family and work relationships. College students often come to me with issues related to roommates, gaining independence from parents, anxiety related to overwhelming school work, career choices and figuring out who they are. College years can be an amazing time of growth and opportunity, but they can also be incredibly stressful. I love to help college students navigate and find their ways through the many twists and turns of college life. (In MI, a Limited License Psychologist can practice under the supervision of a Fully Licensed Psychologist. Supervisor: Joseph J. Horak, PhD, LP)

College and graduate school can be exciting, meaningful, and rewarding—but they can also feel incredibly overwhelming. Many students find themselves struggling to balance academic pressure, relationships, work, family expectations, finances, burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, or simply trying to keep up with the constant demands of daily life. You may look like you’re functioning on the outside while internally feeling exhausted, stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to slow your mind down. I work with college students, graduate students, and young adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, stress management, academic burnout, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I also support students who feel caught in cycles of overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or difficulty managing emotions and responsibilities. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and practical. Therapy is not just a place to vent—it’s a space to better understand yourself while also learning concrete tools to help life feel more manageable. Together, we may work on improving coping skills, emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, confidence, organization, or ways to manage stress without constantly feeling like you’re running on empty. I have a background in school-based mental health and understand how emotional wellness directly impacts focus, motivation, relationships, and academic performance. I strive to create a therapy space that feels genuine, nonjudgmental, and approachable, where you can show up exactly as you are without feeling pressure to have everything figured out. Whether you’re struggling quietly, feeling overwhelmed by expectations, or simply wanting more support and balance in your life, you do not have to navigate it alone. I’d be happy to connect and see if we might be a good fit. I offer flexible evenings and weekends via telehealth or in-person Wednesdays and Thursdays 15 minutes from MSU and LCC.

As a Counseling Psychologist and Certified Trauma Professional, my practice centers on facilitating the transformative journey of healing. I collaborate with you to co-create a therapeutic environment conducive to exploring and addressing your unique challenges. I provide a non-judgmental space where folks can navigate issues such as disordered eating, body image concerns, post-traumatic stress, grief, anxiety, and depression. I offer comprehensive support tailored to individual needs, fostering clarity, restoration, and authentic growth. I employ evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, and ACT. My focus is on guiding individuals towards healing their relationship to food and body, embracing intuitive eating and a Health at Every Size philosophy for holistic wellness. When we become empowered, we are able to be present and live a values-based life. If you are ready to reconnect with your body and rekindle your sense of self-worth, I’m looking forward to connecting with you!

I know making the first therapy appointment can be a huge step, and I want to commend you for taking it. Reaching out for support shows incredible strength and courage. I specialize in working with individuals ages 14 and older, particularly those who are dealing with anxiety, depression, and navigating major life changes. In my work, I focus on creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I approach therapy with a client-centered mindset, meaning I tailor our work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll work at your pace to understand what you're going through, build coping skills, and navigate whatever challenges you're facing. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, navigating a trauma, or simply trying to manage a period of change in your life, I’m here to help you find clarity and strength. My goal is to empower you with the tools to, not only cope with life’s challenges but to move through them with greater resilience and peace. Throughout our work together, you’ll be supported and encouraged, and I’m always amazed at the strength and progress my clients make. I truly believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and I’m excited to walk alongside you on that journey. Outside of my work, I enjoy reading mystery novels, binge-watching cringy reality TV, traveling, and spending time with my nieces, which helps me stay balanced and grounded as I continue my own personal growth and learning. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment.

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.

When we experience trauma or severe life stressors, it may feel like our lives are unraveling and out of control. My greatest passion is helping people re-establish their balance and sense of purpose. My clients include couples, individuals, and young adults. We work together to discover and create healthy perceptions of themselves, what meaning this will have in their lives. We also examine how they might improve their relationships so they can root themselves in a place of safety, peace, and wholeness. My background of Humanistic and Clinical Psychology emphasizes your uniqueness is key to achieving your highest potential. My philosophy aligns with this form of positive regard for people’s unique needs, strengths and desires for growth.

Hello! My name is Heather McCracken, LMSW. I'm a Christian therapist that has been working with folks with mental health issues for over 27 years. I have worked in jails, private practice settings, community based treatment as well as Community Mental Health. I consider it a privilege to walk along side another and they work through issues. I do telehealth only at this time.

Being at a big university can be intimidating. For many years, I have been helping people gain insight into themselves to better understand their feeling. Times of transition and uncertainty can be stressful, but today there are many variables in this world which may create these big feelings. I work with clients through an interactive approach, trying to help them explore and verbalize what they are experiencing, and create a road map to help them reach their goals. I feel that we all demonstrate behaviors which we may not understand. Through exploration, I help clients "connect the dots" to help them gain insight as to why they do what they do. Once they have this understanding, it becomes more of a conscious choice as to how they wish to move forward. The client and I become a "team", trying to explore these issues together. Even though I see clients virtually, I can be seen visiting the MSU campus with my therapy dog, an Alaskan Malamute named Ichabod. We often attend on-campus events and are present for the "Out of the Darkness Walk" for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention(AFSP). My areas of expertise are helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and struggles with transition.
