Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

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.

My name is Erick Pena. I struggled with depression and anxiety for about 20 years, and it wasn't until I read a book called "Getting Past Your Past" by Francine Shapiro that everything started to make sense. As a therapist, I offer traditional talk therapy, but I am incredibly passionate about EMDR therapy. I believe that in the same way talk and EMDR therapy have helped me deal with the negative symptoms that plagued my life for so long, they can also help you.

Finding a new therapist can be overwhelming. I'm so glad you're here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for college students struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration (including LGBTQ+ affirming care), and life transitions. Many of my clients are often struggling with confidence, setting boundaries, and being in touch with their feelings and needs. I love supporting young adults who are navigating changing relationships, whether it is navigating new and old friendships, reconfiguring relationships with parents and/or figuring out how you want to show up in romantic relationships. As a multiracial woman, I can empathize with students of color and members of other groups facing obstacles related to systemic oppression, and I strive to create a space where every part of your identity is honored and supported. I form genuine connections with each of my clients and develop a true partnership to address challenges while celebrating growth and progress along the way. I provide a balance of space to process thoughts and feelings while also offering practical tools to support change. You can show up how you need to in a safe, warm and non-judgemental space. I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan but spent the last few years in Denver and have recently moved back to Grand Rapids. When I'm not working I love yoga, running, baking and spending time outside. I'm accepting new clients and happy to text/talk to see if I can be a good fit for what what you need. I accept BCBC, BCN, BCN Advantage, cash-pay and have some sliding scale appointments. Feel free to reach out and I hope I can be a support!

People often struggle with feelings of sadness, anxiety, and emotional responses they do not understand. Counseling can be very helpful in identifying the source of these symptoms and undoing negative effects of previous life events. . I find great fulfillment in helping individuals to gain a better understanding of who they are at their core as well as how past events and circumstances have affected them in order to move towards genuine healing. One of the most important aspects of therapy that I am committed to is creating a safe space for all individuals. Therefore, I operate from a very open-minded standpoint and I am accustomed to addressing issues relevant among diverse populations. I have had the privilege of working with individuals of various ethnic backgrounds, faiths and spiritual orientations, gender identities, and sexual orientations. All are appreciated for their unique backgrounds and personal qualities and all are welcome!

I utilize an eclectic treatment approach that is supportive and goal-directed. I have been a practicing clinical psychologist for the past 25 years, working in the areas of psychotherapy, assessment, rehabilitation, and crisis counseling. I completed a doctoral degree program in Clinical Psychology at Michigan State University, and also engaged in numerous practica and internship experiences focusing on time-limited, and longer-term psychotherapies, inpatient treatment, group psychotherapy, substance abuse, psychological and neuropsychological assessment, as well as recovery from acquired brain injuries.

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.

The term Legacy by definition means "something of value transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." As I reflect upon my life I noticed people who laid up for me a legacy, a promise and hope. The most influential people who have impacted my life and who established a legacy for me were my grandparents. They established a legacy, it was the legacy of care, compassion, and goodwill to mankind. I saw kindness, love, patience, meekness, faithfulness, and gentleness and these are the qualities I bring into the therapeutic relationships. I am a believer that everyone's birth was triggered in the earth-realm for a purpose. There is a purpose attached to your life. I believe in helping people reach that purpose. Through the work that I do I seek to restore hope, and establish a legacy of abundant life. My goal as a fully licensed psychologist is to create an environment where you feel safe to be transparent to address whatever issues concern you. I look forward to entering into an alliance with you so you may begin the healing process, create a legacy and fulfill your life purpose.

Hi there, I’m Maire Grupp, a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Indiana and Michigan. If you’re reading this, you may be looking for some backup in navigating challenges in your life. I am here to help. I work with individuals, families, and youth who are navigating grief, anxiety, life transitions, depression, and other challenges. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to move at your own pace in an inclusive environment suitable for all individuals, including neurodiverse individuals and those who identify across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. My goal is to provide care that is both compassionate and effective. My background includes hospice and grief counseling, crisis response, and community mental health case management. My passion for quality care started in my work as a Direct Support Professional in the group home setting, and has grown through my completion of my Master’s Degree in Social Work at IUSB. I use a variety of evidenced based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), dialectal behavioral therapy (DBT), Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT), and creative expression, among others. My approach is eclectic and tailored to your unique needs and life experience. Outside of work, I enjoy baking, creative writing, spending time outdoors, and time with my wonderful cats. I offer evening and weekend availability, so sessions can more easily fit into your schedule and lifestyle. Whenever you’re ready, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions at maire@gabrielcounselingservices.com, or call (317) 210-3075. Take care!

I don’t look like what I have been through, and you don’t have to, either. There are times in our lives when we can’t see past our grief, trauma, passion, or desires. There is no shame in talking things out with a professional trained to help. We all walk a different path, but talking to someone can sometimes help us see the forest, not just the trees. My goal is to assist you in establishing healthy boundaries across various areas of your life, enhancing self-awareness, and embracing uncomfortable emotions like guilt and shame. I promote self-love and compassion, improve communication skills, and encourage you to face your fears and uncertainties.

As a therapist, my primary focus is on creating a safe and collaborative environment where your voice is central to the process. I understand that each client comes with unique challenges, and I am here to walk alongside you as we explore and work through them together.

Hello! My name is Olivia Brower and I work with Second Story Counseling at their Holland location.

We believe that you are the master of your own life, and we believe that therapy is a joint process that we can navigate together. We cannot "fix" you or tell you what you "should" do. The journey is yours. We can be a support, and provide a safe space. We can guide you in learning and using tools which will allow you to better manage your symptoms and create and maintain healthy boundaries with yourself and others. The tools you learn and develop while you are going through your therapeutic journey are meant to also allow you to improve your ability to self-soothe, create and maintain healthier boundaries in your relationships, make decisions more effectively, and to better support, assert, and advocate for yourself once therapy ends. You are capable. Our mission is to provide more accessible services to underserved clients, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community, folx with neurodivergence, racial and ethnic minorities, and for other underserved populations who lack access to in-person services, or lack access to counselors competent in these areas due to living in areas that are smaller, more rural, or more conservative.

Hi there! My name is Kimmie and I practice through Embrace Change Therapy. I believe you are the expert in your life, and I am to support you through whatever journey you may be on. There is so much that happens in life; it’s very easy to become overwhelmed. When we slow down and take it one step at a time, we are able to accomplish goals and establish new ways of thinking as well as develop a wide range of coping skills. I meet you where you are, and together we can move forward to achieve your goals! Therapy is not a one fits all, so I work from a combination of modalities, mostly CBT, strengths based, and motivational interviewing depending on clientele. I've worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds, and love to learn about each and every one as their own individual selves. My philosophy in life is that there is always room for learning and growth. I believe we both have things to offer in therapy, and can't wait to meet you! I accept most insurances, including Medicaids. Send me an email and we can verify this prior to working together. I graduated from GVSU with my Bachelor’s of Social Work and Master’s of Social work. I have two black labs, am married to my college sweetheart, and we have a toddler son who keeps us on our toes! In my free time, I love reading, taking our dogs for walks, and riding my horse, Atlas, in eventing and jumping. Feel free to shoot me an email to connect!
