Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I am a caregiver by nature and I support individuals to grow emotionally and spiritually, at their own pace. Our authentic self is within each of us, waiting to blossom. My role as a therapist is to promote self-determination by supporting you to look inward for ways to find solutions to perceived barriers to attaining life goals. I have been practicing in the mental health profession since I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from The University of Michigan, 1977. I am licensed as both a Clinical and Macro Social Worker and am experienced in both the administrative and clinical areas of mental health.
As a therapist, I pride myself in the confidentiality and the general skills I can offer you like any other therapist. However, what you can expect with my practice goes beyond the standard therapeutic experience. My practice is person-centered and non-judgmental across several subjects, domains, circumstances, and themes. I also pride myself in being multi-dimensional in identity politics; I am Trans-Affirmative, LGBTQ+ Affirmative, Sex-positive, Body positive, Kink-positive, and more. I approach the world and my work from a lens of inclusivity rather than exclusivity. We all deserve quality care regardless of how we identify. Reach out for your free consult. Please be aware that while this site asks me to include my initial and ongoing session fees, it does not allow me to clarify my sliding scale; please feel free to inquire about that if needed. I would be honored to take this journey with you!
Therapy isn’t just about getting through hard times, it’s an opportunity for you to reconnect with your own inner strength and move toward a life that feels more meaningful, grounded, and embodied. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in a major life change, overthinking, or just tired of pretending you're okay. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Much of my work with clients involve exploring your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences to deepen self awareness and support lasting change.
My name is Lydia Zuker and I am the owner of a small private practiced called Enlightened Therapy. Enlightened Therapy is all about creating an atmosphere of safety, support, and empowerment. If you are struggling and want to make improvements to your life and well-being, I would love to support and guide you along that journey. I operate utilizing evidence-based practices that are customized to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in therapy that addresses all areas of a person's life, including family, relationships, work, school, and physical health. I also believe in meeting my clients where they are at, as I desire for therapy to be a positive experience for personal growth, wellness, and enlightenment. About Lydia: I obtained my master’s degree in clinical social work from Michigan State University and my undergraduate degree in psychology from Grand Valley State University. I am a fully licensed master social worker who has experience in working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages, but specialize in working with adolescents and adults. I have clinical interest in anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, sexual concerns and identity, and relationships. I enjoy working with diverse populations and am LGBTQIA-affirming and informed.
I am looking forward to connecting with college-aged individuals who are beginning or continuing their therapy journey. I am pulled toward practicing therapy in this transitional phase of life because I know that young adulthood is filled with many questions about identity, friendship, self-esteem, relationships, classes, and careers. Awareness of individuality and childhood norms grows during his developmental phase, which can lead to experiencing many mental health symptoms. I believe in empowering each person to grow into the truest form of themselves and live life to the fullest. I utilize a trauma informed approach in my practice and tend to use modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, meditation, emotion-based therapy, EMDR, and IFS. I currently work at Allow Therapy Partners in the Rockford Office. I love to do in person appointments and I am also available for virtual sessions. Please reach out! I am happily accepting new clients at this time.
I deeply believe that each person possesses the inner resources to heal, grow, and navigate seemingly impossible circumstances. My role is to foster a trusting and safe environment where you are able to access your inner strength and create long lasting changes. By utilizing a variety of techniques we will work together to provide you with relief and to meet your long term goals. I'll strive to help you to first to manage the symptoms that are most disruptive in your day to day life. Secondly, we will dig deeper into your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and past to create long lasting changes in your self, relationships, and life. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are facing depression, anxiety, or who are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed. Whether you are adjusting to a big life change, navigating challenging relationships, grieving a loss, coping with past trauma, or trying to discover who you are, I would be honored to walk alongside of you. I am dedicated to approaching each client and session with attentiveness, empathy, and warmth. I would love to connect and begin to get to know you. Please reach out through email, my contact information is listed below.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 17 years of experience providing counseling and social work services to children, teens, adults, and families. My experience includes supporting clients dealing with adjusting to life changes and stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationships. Since completing a Sport Social Work Certification through the University of Michigan in 2022, I have added supporting athletes with their unique mental health and sports performance needs. Beginning therapy means different things to different people, but it is often an action of courage, hope, self-care, and self-determination. I value the importance of highlighting and exploring the unique strengths and resilience in each individual to help encourage hope, confidence, healing, and growth. My therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered therapy, emphasizing the exploration of what holds personal meaning for each individual with the emphasis on becoming self-aware and in tune with self. My goal is to provide genuine clinical support via teletherapy tailored to help clients achieve their personal goals in processing their focus of therapy while recognizing the importance of holistic wellness and addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being to foster a sense of overall wellness.
I specialize in working with graduate students who are seeking a kind, sensitive, and curious clinician to guide them through the mental health rigors of academia. The journey of completing a graduate degree can be a stressor which exacerbates existing issues of perfectionism and anxiety; but it can also be a time of growth, insight, and self-discovery. My second area of speciality is grief and loss. Grief shows up in many ways, often during points of life transition. Break-ups, divorces, deaths of a loved ones, chronic health issues that can impact daily functioning - these losses are part of life but can be challenging to navigate. Sometimes those around us can be uncomfortable with the intensity or duration of grief, or want to "fix it". Therapy can be a space where you can bring these emotions and have space held for their intensity without judgement. Everyone deserves the chance to experience healing and live a full life. I approach my work with genuine interest to know people- where they have been, what has brought them to where they are now, and where they would like to go. I offer both virtual and in-person options for therapy.

College can be a double edged sword. Independence but responsibility. Fun social events but intense studying and homework. New experiences outside your comfort zone. Common emotions during this phase of life include excitement, stress, confusion, feeling overwhelmed, scattered, and even beginning to question who you are and who you want to be. Therapy is a great way to start to explore all these experiences, emotions and life events that are part of your daily life. We can focus on helping you get organized and balanced, explore relationships, improve boundaries, and anything else that is important to you or may come up. Struggling with people pleasing? Perfectionism? Time management? Those are also all relevant topics. Feel free to reach out with any questions and we can go from there!
