Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Hi, my name is Dan. I use he/him pronouns. I am a licensed psychologist in general practice at Sojourn Psychotherapeutics, LLC in the East End of Pittsburgh. I work with individuals, couples, and families. In addition to general practice, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health, neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, OCD), and climate-aware psychotherapy. Here are some examples of therapeutic goals my clients commonly bring to therapy: identifying and managing mental health symptoms, finding greater motivation and focus in daily life, building and managing relationships, identity exploration, deprogramming internalized stigma, and healing from trauma. I draw on a range of approaches, including CBT, DBT, ACT, and psychodynamic and attachment-based methods, but I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is what does most of the work. I love my job and consider it a privilege to serve my community. If you feel like any part of this page speaks to you, I welcome you to get in touch and request a free consultation. Once I have received a message, I typically respond within 2 business days. Warmly, Dan

I have worked with clients in the Human Service field for the past thirty five years treating substance use disorders, mental health, trauma and HIV/AIDS. I am a caring, dedicated and empathic therapist, meeting the person served where they are at. It is my belief that when you know better you attempt to do better. My job involves providing psycho-education based upon best field practices. My experience includes working with youth, adults and families. I have facilitated sessions related to substance use disorders, and mental health for adults and children. I am a State certified trauma therapist trained to treat individuals whose lives have been impacted by trauma. My practice is devoted to assisting you on your road to recovery based on best field practices, working with individuals and family in three key areas mental health, substance use disorders and trauma.
I’m so glad you’re exploring therapy as a resource for moving forward. I specialize in working with women of all ages through compassionate, evidence-based treatments that not only address symptoms but also explore deeper roots of anxiety, relationship struggles, perfectionism, life changes, low confidence, and grief. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy with a holistic lens that considers the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of who you are.
Taking this step towards your growth/healing can be hard, and looking up providers is a great place to start! My aim in therapy is to create a space that feels collaborative and safe to explore your unique concerns. I prioritize developing an authentic therapy relationship to help you feel comfortable to explore challenging thoughts and experiences. We can all use a bit of help at times, and I am dedicated to helping you identify what meaningful change might look like for you. I strive to approach therapy with an open mind. Every person has a unique perspective, so taking time to understand your needs and experiences helps me tailor therapy to your goals. I hope to facilitate growth through building awareness of patterns of experiences, while fostering autonomy to challenge unwanted patterns. I am a fully licensed psychologist in the Grand Rapids area. I previously worked in college counseling centers, and understand the challenges that can come with this time in your life! I have a strong passion for working with anxiety and self-esteem concerns, identity development, family concerns, trauma, and couples. I also offer psychological assessments for a variety of concerns, including ADHD evaluations, and take a comprehensive approach to evaluations.
I provide virtual therapy to clients located in Virginia, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. I am inspired when I see college-age men and women who are searching for emotional, financial, and intellectual independence. College can be a challenging time of finding identity and intimacy and I assist by helping clarify college relationships. Having taught in a Graduate School program for social workers for 5 years, as well as attended college while raising children, I understand many things about the stages of early adulthood. I offer a safe space to process different parts that may be confusing using the IKVaS Method, a clinically based approach to processing adverse emotions, synthesized from 15 years of practice. You will safely integrate the different facets of your personality and enhance congruence, agency, and personal power, enabling health growth.
Our practice is welcoming and inclusive. We are located in Allendale off of Lake Michigan Drive about half a mile from the Grand Valley State University main campus. The building is private with plenty of parking. The office is about 20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Holland, and Muskegon.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Bethany and I use the pronouns she/her. Counseling is a big step; I want to help you find a way to live more authentically the life you want and help you step into your power. We are all unique and have our own desires and goals. As your counselor, it is not my job to tell you what to do. I am here to help you through the process, provide tools, and build a relationship that supports you as an individual. I think it is most important to meet my clients where they're at and it is likely no one counseling style will fit perfectly. I have experience providing CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, and solution focused therapy. However, while some aspects of these therapy styles may be present, it is more important to provide a safe supportive environment to learn and grow. I firmly believe that counseling should be a judgement free zone and I offer unconditional positive regard as a cornerstone of my counseling style. My background is in working with youth who have experienced trauma. I offer queer and trans affirming therapy and advocacy.

“The more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I thrive.” — Elliot Page It is my goal to create a space where you feel safe to be who you truly are, and to meet you where you are at. The act of loving and accepting yourself can be a struggle, but it is not an impossible task. Using ideas like radical self love and acceptance, you can learn to love who you are today, and use that to inform who and where you want to be tomorrow! I find that the more you are able to appreciate who you truly are, the more joy you will be able to find in the world around you. I thrive to be flexible with my approach, and want to make going to therapy feel easy, and even fun! I have previous experience working in crisis intervention with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. Through this work I have gained knowledge in providing a trauma informed and empowering environment. I have also worked with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, and have a Bachelor’s degree in Women and Gender Studies. Seeing live music, and crafting are my favorite forms of self care. I value creativity and playfulness, and use these to inform how I move through the world. I have 3 cats and a fish that I adore with my whole heart.

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.

Do you feel weighed down by grief and sadness? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, your surroundings, or your relationships? Anxiety and depression can be like a thick fog that seems impossible to lift. My goal is to help guide you through that fog and find relief from emotional pain. I offer a safe and supportive therapeutic environment that acknowledges and respects your emotional journey. My area of expertise is providing support to persons struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, life transitions, and family conflict. I have been working with adults, children, and families to help them navigate traumatic experiences in the social work field for the past seven years. Together, we will work on developing a more compassionate inner dialogue, and healthier coping mechanisms that will help you live more authentically. I commend you on taking the first steps toward healing, and I am here to support you.
Being a student can be tough! Balancing classes, friends, and work while adjusting to a new living situation. Maybe even feeling less confident when we never struggled in that area before. Sometimes we don't recognize that we are struggling with anxiety or depression...and that there is help! If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-confidence, difficulties with managing emotions, I can help! You don't need to know how therapy works. We will talk and get to know each other, then sort out together the areas where you can grow strengths to match your new experience.
Life is a journey with many twists and turns. Along the way we experience some good things and some not so good things, but all life experiences make up who we are in this very moment. Everyone deserves to be able to tell their story and to be heard. I’m here to help support my clients so they have a voice and can determine their own life direction and meaning. I primarily use tools from cognitive behavioral therapies and mindfulness in working with substance abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety, anger management, ADHD/impulse control, and life transitions. I help individuals gain a deeper understanding of how motivation, executive functioning, and overall functionality affect their daily lives. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Michigan State University in 2011, and received my Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology and Graduate Certificate in Substance Abuse and Addiction from Western Michigan University in 2015.

Life can feel overwhelming—whether you're a parent, new mom, educator, or simply going through a tough season. You might be facing anxiety, postpartum struggles, burnout, infertility, or challenges with your child’s school experience, like IEPs or behavioral concerns. I work with teens, adults, and families navigating stress, parenting, transitions, or the complexities of adoption. Therapy can be a space to reflect, heal, and reconnect with yourself. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just be willing to start. You’ll find a safe, supportive space to feel validated and build skills like emotional regulation, coping, and communication. I use a compassionate, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, drawing on CBT and my 27 years of experience supporting teens and families. I will meet with you right where you are at and help you grow and heal from there. I really care about people and the stories they carry. Life can be messy, and therapy gives you space to talk it through, feel heard, and sort things out. We'll work together in a way that feels supportive and real—so you can better understand yourself, feel more like you, and start to move forward.
