Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Are you feeling weary, inadequate or emotionally exhausted? Have you struggled to manage anxiety and you're ready for a change? I would love to partner with you. I grew up on my family's asparagus farm in West Michigan. I'm a proud MSU alum and began my career teaching high school before pursuing my masters and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I continued my training at the Chicago Area Christian Training Consortium to further integrate my faith and clinical work, and I continue to enjoy the integration of spirituality and psychology as clients desire in therapy. I've worked in the mental health field since 2006 and feel passionate about aligning with clients ready to seek change, heal wounds and foster ongoing curiosity and insight in their lives. Perhaps you feel a nudge to seek your full potential, experience lasting transformation and find fulfillment in your most cherished relationships. I love to use humor, my style is very relational and I value a high standard of professionalism, ethics and confidentiality in my work. I'd be happy to provide a 15 minute phone consultation to answer any questions and help determine our mutual fit.

I believe that every person has the capacity to grow, develop strengths and skills, heal wounds, and experience new levels of wholeness. Therapy can be a catalyst for these changes; a place to be fully seen, known, and equipped. I work with women to uncover and correct unhelpful coping patterns and belief systems, create sustainable habits for mind-body-spirit wellness, establish healthy attachments in relationships, and foster a strong sense of resilience in the midst of challenges and traumas. My experience includes helping women navigate transitions and stressors related to college and post-college life, career goals or disappointments, work-life balance, identity and purpose, marriage and singleness, perinatal mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. Healing and hope occur in relationship; not isolation. Counseling is a safe space where you can share your burden with an empathetic helper attuned to your needs. I would be honored to hear your story and partner with you in your journey.

Hello and welcome. Firstly, I can offer services for psychological evaluations and therapy. Evaluations can be helpful to address learning disabilities, ADHD, or psychological pieces that are impacting performance in your educational pursuits. Therapy approaches are integrative and dependent on your goals. I work from an integrative approach that looks at all aspects of you, to recognize and boost your strengths and to put in place tools and cushions for any weak areas that are present. I offer a safe space and take a nonjudgment approach in my work. After all, we have all been struck with the human condition. :)

I work with individuals experiencing conflicts in relationships, in identity and/or the experience of self, and uncertainty in overcoming life’s many challenges. In our work together all aspects of you are welcome, and it is my hope that we will create a relationship in which you find comfort and safety to be yourself without fear of judgment. I accept BCBS, BCN, Priority Health and Aetna.

Please contact me if you are looking for a therapeutic relationship that provides support and resources as we work to help you overcome anxiety, depression, and family conflict by creating an environment where you feel safe, your strengths are emphasized, your individual diversity is celebrated, and your treatment is paced appropriately for you. Often this therapeutic relationship can provide a space where you can unpack past experiences and gain perspective as to how past events may impact your life, relationships, and choices today. My eclectic and relational approach allows the flexibility needed to meet each person where they are and help them move forward in processing past challenges and growing more prepared to meet future challenges by providing not only strategies and tools to improve symptoms but also guiding you toward insight that may transform your perspective moving forward. Let's get started on your journey toward living life as your truest self. Learning to express your emotions, know yourself, and become able to protect your boundaries in relationships with others.

I work with young women and LGBTQ+ folks with anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing tendencies. You set goals for yourself that aren’t reachable, and you feel like you’re failing, though from the outside it may look like you have it together. You know that the patterns in your life aren’t working, yet it’s hard to identify what to change and make those changes on your own. It’s a big step to even recognize that you might benefit from therapy. Therapy can help you make those changes so that you can relate differently to yourself, your loved ones, and the stress & loss in your life. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Together, we can untangle old narratives, identify the things that aren’t working in your life, and develop new coping methods that work for you. Therapy depends on us developing a safe relationship from which we can explore your feelings and concerns. In our therapy sessions, you can expect compassion as well as a focus on practical skills on how to relate differently to the stress and loss in your life. I prioritize developing a safe relationship between the two of us in therapy, from which we discuss your relationships with yourself and with others. My practice is antiracist, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and HAES informed. I have immediate openings for teletherapy and in-person therapy. In addition to my regular hours (8am-5pm), I can offer evening appointments upon request. You can schedule a free 15-minute video consultation at my website, sierralarsontherapy.com.

Are you overwhelmed with life stressors due to family conflicts, prioritizing school, or systemic issues? Do you sometimes feel so anxious, depressed, misunderstood, or numb that you feel disconnected from everything or everyone? Are you constantly prioritizing everyone except yourself? Are you simply tired of feeling stuck or overthinking? Well I get it! Tribulations can arise despite our age, race, religion, sex, or background. Despite our intersectionality, we all deserve and need a safe space to explore our thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behaviors; understanding the impact allows us to recognize patterns and create better experiences.

The choice to seek therapy demonstrates an openness to growth and commitment to well-being. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which I understand that each of us has a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape who we are and how we experience relationships. In my collaborative work with individuals, couples, young children, and families, we focus on developing insight and establishing new strategies to overcome difficult patterns or concerns.

I am currently providing teletherapy for clients anywhere in Michigan. As a clinician, I focus on each individual and enjoy pulling out their strengths. I have experience working with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, poverty, housing crisis, parenting struggles, and trauma. I am easygoing and enjoy listening to others, solving problems, and pushing forward by taking things one step at a time. I strive to be welcoming, patient, and I listen to understand. I am passionate about building relationships and to be a support person in your corner. It is a courageous step when a person chooses to open up and an honor to join their life journey. I am here to walk alongside children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression and anxiety. My therapy style is all about meeting you where you are. We will start by getting to know each other and building a therapeutic relationship. I will bring a calm presence along with a positive energy. I enjoy working with kids through play therapy. With adolescents and adults I am all about being solution focused and finding new ways to build on coping skills that can be used long term. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am a good fit for you.

I don’t believe that any one modality of therapy works best for everybody. I believe in getting to know my client, understanding what works and does not work for them, and keeping an open line of communication with what is and isn’t helping. That is how I believe the best treatment and treatment planning occurs: when both parties are able to honestly express their thoughts on the treatment process and are willing to explore different avenues in order to bring about the most healing. I believe in person-centered care. I believe in helping a client feel comfortable, welcome, and safe when they are in therapy, and I strive to be a positive support for them. Without my personal life’s experiences with pain, anxiety, depression, and a multitude of other struggles, I know I would not be the therapist that I am today. I believe that I have a large amount of empathy for individuals who go through these types of struggles, and I feel that I can help them not only from a professional level, but also from a human-being to another human-being level. The human experience is not always an easy one to go through. It is my pleasure and privilege to help individuals walk through their struggles and to let them know that they are not alone. By providing them with support, empathy, techniques for success and a safe place to come each week, I believe that I can be a part of the healing in a clients life and that is one of the greatest blessings that I could ever think of participating in.

Hi, I'm Ash. I’m a queer / trans / non-binary therapist for individuals exploring identity, experiencing grief, or healing from trauma. My clients appreciate my non-judgmental, non-pathological, progressive, and curious presence. I work from psychodynamic, relational, and radical frameworks, centering the unique lived experiences of my clients. I might be a good fit for you if you appreciate a combination of humor, accountability, and support. I work best with clients who are motivated to dig deeper and go beyond simply finding relief from distressing symptoms. I specialize in gender identity, sexuality, trauma, religious deconstruction, and grief. I also write referral letters for Gender-Affirming Care. Reach out today to get started— I look forward to hearing from you!

We are living in tender times. Many of us are undergoing internal shifts and personal transformations while the world at large is also shifting beneath our feet. Working together, we can find ways to cope creatively with life's many challenges. My work is inspired by each individual client’s unique potential for wholeness. I enjoy working with individuals on issues of gender, sexuality, relationships, intimacy, spirituality, wellness and authenticity. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly & aware. My other areas of competence include anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment to life transitions. My counseling practice is informed by Hakomi and its principles of mindfulness, unity, body-mind connection, non-violence and organicity. Learning to accept what is and be in the present moment is more important than ever. My counseling approach includes person-centered, humanistic, strengths-based, trauma informed, depth psychology and cognitive behavioral. One of life’s great challenges is that we all encounter suffering and struggles along the way. And yet, I strongly believe that it is not only possible, but that it is every person’s birthright, to live a life full of meaning, joy and fulfillment. I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your personal journey of unfolding and healing.

The shift from being a teenager to an adult can feel pretty overwhelming. It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t have everything figured out, especially when it seems like everyone else has it all together. You’re probably dealing with a lot—leaving home, becoming more independent, and figuring out how your relationships with family are changing. Feeling stuck or uncertain is normal, but it can also bring on feelings of anxiety, low self-worth, and even depression. And leaving home often opens up the space to finally face things in your family life that might have been too hard to address before. I’m here to support you through these transitions, helping you build confidence and see things in a more hopeful light. We’ll work together to set realistic goals that feel good for you, giving yourself the grace you need while creating a clear plan for what’s next. I’ll guide you to tap into your inner strength, uncover what truly matters to you, and help you access the resources you need. Through various therapeutic techniques, we’ll work on healing, managing emotions, and learning how to communicate your needs in a healthy way.
