Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Life can be messy, it can catch us off guard. We can find ourselves treading water and the things that used to keep us afloat aren’t working quite so well. Old wounds can dull our spark. If we’re human, we’ve all been there. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety and depression, grief due to a death or those anticipating a loss, a life threatening medical diagnosis, anaphylactic food allergies and accompanying stressors, trauma, and parents with perinatal mood disorders. I also support families navigating LGBTQIA issues. I have specialized training in play therapy, trauma interventions, bereavement, and perinatal mood disorders. I have a commitment to an open and affirming practice for all. My approach is to partner with clients to form a safe and supportive relationship to explore more flexible ways of being in relationship with yourself and the world. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is one of the strongest predictors of the effectiveness of your therapy experience. I offer complimentary phone consultations to assist in determining if we are a good match.

Hello, I'm Jarid, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journeys toward healing and growth.​ My desire to be a counselor stemmed from a longing to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. After years in the corporate world, I craved a career with purpose, one that allowed me to foster deep connections and witness transformation. What I love most about counseling is the opportunity to form authentic relationships with my clients. I'm honored to share in their growth and witness their lives transform into something fulfilling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and its potential for healing. I also value challenging my clients in a way that pushes them forward. I am not the kind of therapist to let you come in weekly and just maintain the status quo of your life. Together we will constantly push toward the change that you are looking for and the change that you need. The most rewarding moments in my practice are when clients experience empathy for themselves and their stories. This self-acceptance allows them to envision a clear path forward and embrace personal growth. My clients often tell me that their therapy experiences with me are unlike any other. They appreciate my deep engagement, presence, and understanding. I prioritize a collaborative, equal, and beneficial relationship with each client. My own mental and emotional well-being is a priority. I have my own therapist and apply my knowledge and experience to my life. I find joy in mindfulness practices, humor, and spending time with loved ones. Outside of counseling, I enjoy reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, playing video games, golfing, going to the movies, music, and spending time on the water. I created my own practice to have the freedom to meet my clients where they are and provide them with the best care possible. I value the autonomy to tailor my approach without external constraints. Thank you for considering me as your guide on your path to well-being. I look forward to supporting you through your journey.

Welcome. I’m Chloe. I received my Master's in Social Work from Michigan State University and have been practicing for 14 years. I have spent my career walking alongside children, teens, and adults as they navigate issues of grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. In my practice, I focus on validating each client’s unique experience. I allow clients to share information and process emotions at their own pace. I use a collaborative, integrative approach when working with clients to develop a treatment plan that fits with their needs. Although, grief is often seen as inherently connected with love, grief can also arise from complicated situations. It is not uncommon for someone to experience feelings of grief despite not having “liked’ the person when they were alive. This can bring up a mix of emotions including sadness, anger, regret, guilt, relief, and many others. The situation can leave the client feeling conflicted about grieving someone who has hurt them or someone they know. I work to develop therapeutic relationships where clients feel safe to begin to unlayer these complicate emotions and find a way to release the emotional burden associated with them. In my practice, I respect that each client has their own unique journey and I seek to listen with compassion, patience, and genuineness. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming space where clients can take the time needed to work through their feelings to ultimately heal and grow.

I work best with students who appreciate authenticity and want a therapist who “gets it.” I bring a down-to-earth, compassionate approach that helps clients feel seen and supported without judgment. Having grown up in Detroit and worked closely with youth and families, I understand how stress, identity, and real-life challenges can impact mental health. I strive to create a space where you can unpack what’s on your mind, build coping tools that work for you, and feel grounded again, no matter what life throws your way.

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples who are experiencing anxiety, stress, negative self-talk, or overwhelming emotions. My clients often want practical strategies to manage difficult feelings, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and build healthier relationships. I also support couples in fostering connection and facilitate small anxiety support groups where people can feel understood and supported. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your journey toward healing and personal growth. When you’re ready, please call or email to schedule an appointment. If I’m unavailable and you reach voicemail, kindly leave a message, and I will return your call as soon as possible. Insurance & Payment Options: BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) & Private Pay

After starting a career in higher education, I realized that I wanted more opportunities to spend time with students 1:1 and support them through all of the life changes that occur throughout college: deciding on a major, finding new friends, separating from family, changing majors, figuring out how to adult, starting a career, excelling in classes that only become more rigorous, and maybe changing majors again. All of this in addition to finding time for yourself becomes quite difficult! As a psychotherapist, I work with students experiencing depression and anxiety as they navigate the challenges and stressors that come with being in college. Many have also had difficult or traumatic experiences while growing up, and are ready to figure out how to talk about them. Through weekly appointments, we'll build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, and quickly develop an understanding of your goals for therapy. For some, this will mean our work together is brief. For others, we'll settle into a long-term working relationship that will see you through the ups and downs over the next few years. I primarily use a psychodynamic approach in therapy, which means we'll explore your inner thoughts and feelings to understand how they affect your behaviors and relationships. I find that this approach helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, including how you might get in your own way from time to time and what you might want to do differently. Always, the goal is to support you as you (re)discover your strengths and learn to accept yourself as human, making both life and college a little easier to navigate moving forward. Please note: I'm licensed to see individuals in Florida, Illinois, and Michigan.

As a dedicated grief therapist, my primary focus lies in offering support and guidance to individuals grappling with the profound impact of chronic illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, and loss. My practice is open to individuals across all age groups, acknowledging that grief and its accompanying challenges do not discriminate by age. My core objective is to assist my clients in navigating the significant changes and upheavals in their lives brought on by their unique circumstances. I firmly believe in the power of a strengths-based perspective to foster resilience and healing. Central to my practice is the development and reinforcement of healthy coping mechanisms, which are crucial for managing the intense emotions and challenges that accompany grief and loss. I am committed to helping clients identify and correct cognitive distortions that may hinder their healing process. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual, recognizing that the path to healing is as unique as the person walking it. I hold a deep-seated belief that no one should have to navigate the terrain of grief alone. In my role as a therapist, I am committed to being that supportive presence for my clients, offering a non- judgmental space to heal.

You’re not alone if you’re realizing you might have OCD. Many people spend years stuck in their heads, battling intrusive thoughts, compulsions, hyper-specific fears, or chronic anxiety that pulls them away from the lives they want to live. I specialize in treating OCD and related disorders including perinatal and postpartum OCD, health anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, specific phobias, emetophobia, and coping with anxiety-induced hypertension. My practical, evidence-based approach provides tools to manage symptoms, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build lasting resilience so you can feel more in control in your daily life. OCD commits many crimes against its sufferers, but one of the cruelest is the hope it steals. You can feel better than you do now. This doesn’t have to be your life. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients face fears, reduce compulsions, and reclaim a meaningful life. All sessions are online. Visit my website to schedule a consult. We will work together to pinpoint actionable steps and build coping skills, so you can begin to see positive changes right away. My online therapy services through telehealth are ideal for busy individuals and those who prefer the comfort of home for their counseling sessions. Northend Counseling LLC offers free consultations to determine if Jody Begley is a match to support you on your journey to greater well-being: jodybegley@northendcounselingllc.com.

Prior to Covid-19 I began working with telehealth and moved towards seeing everyone from their own home to remove the barrier of the commute. Additionally I see people living in rural areas for specific needs such as gender dysphoria. My experience includes addressing trauma/PTSD, substance use/abuse and recovery, anxiety, depression, transgender and gender dysphoria, and LGBTQ+ issues for adolescents and adults as an ally. You can easily request and schedule our first appointment or phone consultation by reaching out today - preferably by email.

I provide guidance and support to teens and young adults who are struggling with various life transitions such as processing family conflict, transition from high school to college, perfectionism, anxiety, student athletes who are struggling with time management, young adults and adults struggling with depression or anxiety, and adjusting to life after college. An important part of the therapy process is learning how to find balance, organize your thoughts and learn about what has shaped the story you've been telling yourself. Being busy and physically active has always been a big part of my life and has driven me to my success as a therapist. However, it hasn't always been easy. I love working with college students, especially student athletes, who are struggling with the transition to college, high pressure with academics, sports, and adults in your life that just don't seem to understand what you're going through at the moment. It's not healthy to "tough it out." Let's figure out what's going on, identify some new strategies and bring the best version of yourself forward. Making the decision to honor yourself and reach out to a therapist is often the hardest part of this process. If any of this has resonated with you while viewing the results of your search, contact me via email or phone to schedule your first appointment. Thursday evening and some weekend appointments are available at this time.

Between balancing work, school pressures, relationships and the 24 hour news cycle, it is natural to feel anxious and overwhelmed. As your therapist, I strive to walk alongside you and build upon your pre-existing skills to empower you to feel confident enough to manage future life stressors on your own and learning to identify what things truly deserve your energy. My approach takes on a trauma-informed lens with compassion-focused interventions. I often like to consider how various systems in the US have impacted our ability to thrive and what we can do to cope with them. I enjoy working with teens and young-adults wanting to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, life transitions and impacts of trauma. I reference research-based psychotherapy while also weaving in humor and candidness into each session. I believe that acting with humility is an essential component of the therapeutic process. If we can't be our authentic selves, we are limiting our potential for success.
