Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Hi, I am Marilyn: A dual board certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner that is passionate about holistic and integrative health practices as the foundations for sustainable health and wellness. I blend traditional medication management psychiatry with functional and integrative approaches that get to the root of your challenges—not just the symptoms. My care goes beyond medication. We’ll explore how nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and relationships impact your mental health, and together, we'll create a plan that fits your life and goals. I help adolescents, young adults, and mid-career professionals overwhelmed from cycles of anxiety, depression, and trauma —so they can feel calm, focused, and whole again. Through an integrative approach—blending medication management, therapy, supplements, and lifestyle coaching—I guide my clients in quieting negative self-talk and reclaiming their confidence, clarity, purpose, and joy. I also combine evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to learn how your thoughts, feelings and behavior impact each other. Together, we will use this knowledge to shift unhelpful thought patterns, build motivation, and take empowered steps forward—at your own pace. Clients describe me as compassionate, curious, holistic and grounded. I listen deeply, hold space without judgment, and work collaboratively so you feel seen, supported, and in control of your healing journey. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, holistic and integrative approach to mental wellness that honors both science and your story—you’re in the right place. Let’s work together to restore clarity, balance, and peace from the inside out.

I work with individuals seeking deeper self-awareness and clarity around the root causes of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship challenges. If you feel stuck in repetitive patterns or disconnected from your authentic self, I offer guidance to explore and heal past wounds, trauma, or relational dynamics. Grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion, my approach supports emotional growth by examining how past experiences shape present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I strive to create a safe, empathic space where you can explore your inner world, strengthen your connection to yourself, and navigate life’s challenges with greater understanding and care.
It is a passion of mine to help individuals find peace and healing in their lives. I believe that everyone has the power within them to feel whole and happy. Sometimes, we just need some guidance. That's where I step in. My professional experience has taught me that most people already have the answers they seek, but sometimes need a little help to find them. I have experience in working with Trauma in many different forms. I can help you understand how different situations in your life can trigger trauma responses. I can help you understand that trauma comes in many forms and your body can respond in a variety of ways. You are the expert on you. I am here to help you find peace, self-awareness, personal growth, healing, and wellness. Education is a large part of counseling. The majority of growth and change occurs outside the counseling session, utilizing skills learned during our meetings. I am honored and proud to walk with you through a healing experience.

Warm Welcome! I have nearly two decades of dedicated experience in providing therapy, and over 40 years of life experience, with the highs and lows of being human. Having been a high-achieving student of many years and often critical of myself, I am particularly attuned to the specific needs of students. I have also had my own journey with neurodiversity and ADD. My primary goal is to create a compassionate space for you to move forward in a journey of health, stability, and independence. I believe in a collaborative approach celebrating the strengths you already have and discovering the ones you have lost. I primarily utilize a psychodynamic structure, leaning heavily on CBT-based skills and self-reflection. I am particularly effective working with those that identify as female of all ages, in addressing stages of life transitions and self-esteem, as I have faced difficulties in those areas myself. I want to see you thrive, and I would be honored to work with you.

Over time, we'll work together to identify repeated emotional patterns, develop coping strategies, and new ways of responding to life's challenges.

Do you want to process that long-suppressed trauma, work through challenging relationship dynamics, and/or overcome substance abuse or mental health struggles? You have come to the right place! By working collaboratively, appropriate treatment plan goals will be created, a strong therapeutic alliance will be built, and a healthier version of you will be developed. Compassion, empathy, relatability, and humor are what I promise to bring to your journey of personal growth. Your own success can be achieved, if you are committed to the hard, but rewarding, work of therapy.
There isn’t a one size “fix” all package for mental health. What works for one; may not work for another. I will be the first one to tell you that I am not the expert in your pain, your life, or your journey. You are. I am simply here to walk alongside you and be a resource for your growth. I believe one of the hardest and bravest things you can do for yourself, is to not only understand your story, but to continue growing from it. As a therapist, it is my goal to help others help themselves and is a motto I have lived by for years now and hope to incorporate this daily with my clients. It is not my role nor my desire to tell you how to live your life; rather, how you can get through some of those hard times, a little less scathed. From my personal experience, working with a therapist that practices empathy, listening, and building trust has helped me through some very dark times. It is my hope to practice these with every person I come into contact with. However small a role I can play in your growth and journey would be an honor. - www.speakeasygr.com (Speak;Easy Mental Wellness)

We’ve all been the patient/client. Hoping to connect with someone who truly hears us and genuinely cares. Life often brings the unexpected challenges we never planned for or imagined. But with the right support, we find a way through. I’ve had these moments too, and I deeply believe in the power of the people who surround you aid in healing, growth and the path you were truly meant for. After 14 years as a Physician Assistant, working in diverse clinical environments, I’ve chosen to focus my career on what’s needed now more than ever: compassionate, comprehensive mental health care. I approach this professional role with openness, empathy, and a deep commitment to your well-being. My goal is to support you in finding mental wellness, while also assessing any physical or medical factors that may be impacting how you feel because true care sees the whole person. You can trust that with our team, your mental and physical health are in compassionate, capable hands.
Stress can be a mess. Juggling work, employment, taking care or self, family or friends can be overwhelming at times. With so much happening, we sometimes need some one that will listen and talk with. Let's meet to see how I can help you during this time.
At Heartfelt Healing, I tend to connect most with students who are thoughtful, caring, and often hard on themselves. You might be the one others rely on, the responsible friend, the high achiever, the one who “has it together,” while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure inside. Many of the students I work with are navigating big life shifts such as starting college, adjusting to independence, healing from a breakup, questioning relationships, or trying to find their footing in who they are becoming. Some are working through body image struggles, disordered eating patterns, family stress, or the pressure to meet expectations. Others simply feel stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from constantly overthinking. If you’re considering therapy but don’t have clear goals or the “right words” yet, that’s completely okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes the first step is simply knowing something doesn’t feel quite right and being open to exploring it in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. We can figure the rest out together.
