Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I believe in equity, equality, and justice for all humans. You well be welcomed here and safe to be yourself regardless of gender, sexuality, race, size, and relationship structure. I am an unwavering ally for the LGBTQ+ community. I approach life, and therapy, from a trauma-informed, social justice, and anti-racist lens. I believe all humans are experiencing some degree of grief and trauma, whether from the ongoing stress of the pandemic/politics, and/or from personal life stressors. Many people have been expending all of their emotional (and physical) energy on just "keeping it together" and surviving. My goal is to offer a safe space for you to slow down, breathe, and be heard. As a therapist, I have the privilege of witnessing the resiliency of the human spirit and the power of the human brain. I will walk alongside you through this journey. I will listen. I will also encourage growth, healing, and emotional development, at your pace. Many of my clients are working towards improvement in the areas of anxiety, grief, trauma, family issues, life transitions or changes, physical symptoms (often caused by emotional stress), and relationship struggles. I often work with people who describe themselves as highly sensitive, perfectionistic, people pleasers, or high achievers. I view counseling as a holistic process and take an integrative approach to working with clients.

College is the ultimate life experience, but it can also cause a lot of anxiety, doubt, confusion, and feelings of inadequacy. It also brings along questions of “am I good enough,” “did I choose the right path,” and “how am I going to get through this”? Guess what? These are all normal feelings and thoughts that every college student experiences to some degree or another, and I am here to help you navigate them! However, what happens if tragedy strikes, or you find yourself struggling with disabling anxiety, or chronic pain and/or illness? That was the predicament I found myself in during Graduate School. I received a Traumatic Brain Injury along with a Spinal Injury halfway through my MSW. I thought it was all over for me, I thought I was going to fail out of school, and was told I could never work in the field of social work. Well, I’m here to tell you they were WRONG! I made it through all the trials and tribulations, graduated with Honors, and I am here to help you navigate your struggles and help you continue to pursue your dreams! If you are struggling with daily college life, are experiencing debilitating mental health issues, or are trying to power through chronic pain and/or illness to acquire your college degree and make your dreams come true I am here to help you on your journey!

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, CAADC with over 15 years of experience. I have specialized knowledge in trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Internal family Systems, (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidenced based intervention for working with individuals who have experienced trauma or disturbing events in their lives that keep them stuck. EMDR quickly moves an individual through disturbing events and negative self-beliefs, to positive self-beliefs, eliminating emotional distress. I believe improved quality of life, emotional, physical, and social, can be achieved by building upon your strengths and providing you a safe, supportive, nonjudgement environment, while respecting your hopes, dreams, and desires. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families and the LGBTQ+ community obtain the quality of life they deserve through their healing process. If you do not have the quality of life you deserve, there is hope. It would an honor to assist you with achieving the happy, healthy, and purpose driven life, with quality relationships, that you so deserve.
Life has a way of challenging the coping strategies that once served us well. Whether you're navigating a new life stage, the complexities of parenting, a significant loss, or a health challenge, these transitions can leave you feeling unsettled. I specialize in supporting individuals as they adjust to these 'new normals.' Through the therapeutic relationship we build together, I provide a safe and compassionate space to help you navigate even the most difficult times. As your burdens begin to lighten, your resilience grows, making space for renewed joy, purpose, and fulfillment. I’m an Indiana and Michigan based Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping young adults, adults, and older adults (65+) manage life transitions, emotional stress, and everyday overwhelm.

Cassie operates out of a trauma informed lens. Additionally, she utilizes a person-centered, strengths-based, and cognitive behavioral theoretical orientation. Cassie is a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) clinician and practices DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) informed treatment. Cassie believes there is not one technique that works for all individuals; therefore, the core of her professional work begins with creating a healthy therapeutic alliance. She is part of a multi-cultural family and values working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. She believes when individuals can understand and respect each other, a foundation exists where sharing, processing, and healing can take place. Cassie offers telehealth sessions to individuals in Michigan and in-person sessions in Lansing (about 5 minutes from MSU's campus).

“I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable. I am an original.” As a mental health counselor, my goal is to help clients build upon their strengths, process life struggles, and overcome challenges. My experience and education has allowed me to work with clients from varying backgrounds and with various diagnoses. I work with individuals and couples. Please reach out should you have any questions or are interested in working together to achieve your goals! I have specialized in child and adolescent counseling throughout my Master’s education at Northwestern University. I hold additional certification through the Gottman Institute for relationship counseling as a Level 2 Clinician. My previous experience includes providing in-person and Telehealth counseling to adolescents, adults, and couples in a private practice setting similar to that of Therapy Today.
I work with college students who may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family challenges, or big life transitions. College can be exciting, but it can also bring a lot of pressure and uncertainty. My approach is warm, relaxed, and collaborative—I draw from person-centered, strength-based perspectives to help you better understand yourself and what you’re going through. I believe you already carry a lot of insight and strength within you. Together, we’ll sort through what feels heavy, break things down into manageable steps, and find practical ways forward. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, feel genuinely heard, and grow in confidence as you navigate this important stage of life.
Life presents challenges to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. You often have no control of the challenges that come your way. Your only control is your response, which creates your experience. As a solutions-focused therapist, I collaborate with you to understand the power of your thoughts, and remind you that you have it within yourself to take back control of your emotional health. You are your own expert, and you have an inner vision of what you want to see happen in your life. I will strive to help you develop coping skills, awaken your resiliency and help you to change the long-standing negative perceptions and behavior patterns that prevent you from achieving your inner vision and enjoying your life.
The inherent dignity and worth of every individual are guiding principles in the advocacy and counseling support I’ve helped develop with people for over 25 years. Challenges we all encounter can overwhelm our regular functioning and cause pain that distracts and obscures access to genuine joy and plans we all have for our best selves and relationships. Using evidence-based practices and focusing on self-determination, I listen and assist individuals with stabilizing their day-to-day functioning so they can plan and get closer to where they want to be in life and their relationships. I began here in East Lansing at the Listening Ear as a Crisis and Sexual Assault Counselor while in graduate school, and still sincerely value active listening and problem-solving. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, certified Michigan teacher and academic consultant. I’ve primarily worked with adults and youth in both clinical, high school and post-secondary settings.
