Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Sometimes entering into counseling can be a little scary and uncomfortable. One of the most important things I hope to be able to provide you with is an environment where you feel comfortable and respected to allow change and healing to occur. I believe that you are the expert on you and thus should be the one in the driver seat of your change and healing. Through collaboration, education and perseverance we can help you to achieve your goals and work to continue building a better you!

Fortitude: “strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain and adversity with courage.” This courage is something we all carry, but oftentimes the weight of the challenges we face can be too much to carry alone. I believe in the power of having teammates that we can call on for support- people who can help empower us to put one foot in front of the other. I strive to be a great teammate. I am passionate about empowering others, and I am intentional in my learning and growing to help foster the success of those around me. I look forward to being a source of support for you as we engage on this journey together! ----- Sports have always been a large part of my life and often drive the work that I do. Really, sports can be a great metaphor for life. They have the power to be more than just a game, a match, a meet, or an event; they are able to teach us things we never thought we needed to know. We often learn and grow through the games we love. As players in the game of life, we often get hit with curve balls. We can suffer from lows and rejoice in the highs. There are elements of the game we can control and others that we just have to be present for and ride out for a while. I believe in a collaborative and strengths-based approach to therapy because no one knows you better than yourself. My goal is to empower each client to draw on their strengths in order to navigate through the challenges one may face in the game of life. I strive to foster a holistic environment in an effort to see challenges from all angles. Often, what affects us “off the field” translates to the work we do on it.

One of my favorite quotes, “Change your thoughts and you can change your world” by Norman Vincent Peale, really inspires me to help clients realize hope for the future. The change comes from you, and we can start that process within the therapy room. Each person is unique in their own way, and because of this, they may need a unique approach to therapy. I look at the therapeutic relationship as a team: we can collaborate together to work on any issues that may be troublesome. You are the expert on your life, and I am here to help you navigate that life by providing a non-judgmental space, helping you to create change from within. I view therapy through a person-centered lens while using interventions pulled from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and solution-focused therapy (SFBT). Another big part of my practice is using Art Therapy to encourage clients to feel comfortable and able to express themselves on many levels. There is nothing quite like the power that art has in the healing process!

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.” –Elizabeth Kubler-Ross I sincerely believe that you are the expert on your life. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and allow me to partner with you so that we can move forward together. There are times when life’s challenges become too much to bear on your own. Allow me to partner with you as together we find our way out of the depths. You don’t have to do this alone. With over 8 years of experience, I use a strengths-based perspective and an eclectic approach to help my clients work through life’s hardest challenges: serious illness (chronic or terminal), grief and loss, anxiety, and depression.

I believe that everyone is unique and holds their own wisdom, and that is a good thing. We all have different walks of life that we can share with others and have others share with us. With this said, I believe in creating a mutual relationship of compassion and learning with clients. Therapy should be non-judgmental and understanding of others’ differences while appreciating and empowering one another. I understand that everyone’s experience is unique, and so I meet clients where they are at. I believe in providing an open mind and a comfortable place for clients to be themselves as we work together to meet their goals. As we create a therapeutic relationship, I will work to help end the cycle of negative feelings by providing the space to open up about the deeper parts of life that bring these emotions to the surface. I will utilize the tools I have to promote a new frame of mind and coping strategies that fit the client’s needs. Engaging in therapy can feel very vulnerable. Being open with someone new can be tough, but know that you are not alone. I’ll maintain the same openness that I want for my clients and make it a priority to keep a comfortable space so we can be present in the moment. Everyone deserves the space to be who they are, process their feelings, and work on what they need. My goal is to be the support system in this journey!

I admire the strength clients show in sharing their vulnerabilities and being self-reflective, so that they can live fulfilling and rich lives – I am privileged to support that growth and to be let into your life for the time that we work together. The therapeutic alliance, or relationship between you and I, is the most important factor in the therapy process. I will create a warm and accepting environment, free of judgments, where you are able to share your vulnerabilities at your own pace. Using an integrative approach, I will collaborate with you to gain insight into your life and create long lasting, positive change. I hope to equip you with enough tools that the world will seem brighter and you will feel ready to tackle life’s obstacles.

Greetings! My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing style of therapy. The most important predictor of success in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. It is that the client feels the therapist cares about them. We call this the “therapeutic alliance”. I specialize in the areas of body image, couples counseling, perfectionism, addiction, and mood disorders. I offer Christian counseling if a client would like it. I utilize CBT, Motivational Interviewing, art therapy, DBT, all with a warm, compassionate approach.

Collaborative Health Center is a group practice with 17 clinicians with diverse backgrounds, specialties, training, and interests. We believe in offering an environment that most effectively nurtures growth and healing in our clients. We treat children, adolescents, families, and adults. While our practitioners' trainings are generalized, we have specialties in the areas of anxiety, depression, adolescents, marriage and family therapy, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Some clients come to us knowing exactly what they want to work on, others come only with a general sense that they would like things (job, relationships, mood, etc.) to be better, and many somewhere in between. We would love the opportunity to partner with you to make tomorrow better than today. Please visit us at: www.collaborativehealthcenter.com!

Hello, I look forward to seeing how I can help you! Navigating school can be challenging. There can be so many things to try to manage in addition to classwork. Getting help to manage it all is part of being an authentic person sometimes. If you need some space to figure things out, get some support, or find ways to help manage your mental health, I want to help. I am here to provide a safe space to work on being who you want to be.

Do you want to share your thoughts and feelings with others but are worried they won’t understand? You may even be experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, guilt/shame, low self-confidence, or anger. You don't have to go through that alone, let's tackle these feelings together. Like many others, there may be a wide range of emotions you may be experiencing, and that's okay! I'd love to explore and make sense of those difficult thoughts and feelings so that they aren't weighing you down anymore and empower you to build coping strategies that work best for you. I view our therapeutic relationship like working together as a team, and I adjust my therapy approach based on your personal goals, whether you prefer traditional talk therapy or a more structured approach. I'm typically described as thoughtful, understanding, and easy to talk to. I aim to provide a comfortable virtual space for you to feel listened to and understood. Seeking therapy can be intimidating but I'm glad you are considering taking this step. Please don't hesitate to reach out to see if we are a good fit!

Getting to know yourself—who you truly are—can be one of the most challenging yet empowering experiences in life, especially if you're someone who’s been told you think too much, feel too much, or just are too much in general. If that sounds like you, then we should definitely talk. Clients often come to me because they’ve been misunderstood or boxed in elsewhere. Many of them are figuring out how to live outside the lines: queer folks, neurodivergent folks, people in non-traditional relationships, or people who just never quite felt “normal,” whatever that means. As a neurodivergent queer therapist, I’m right there with you. With roots in narrative therapy and trauma-informed work, I bring a client-led, conversational approach. I enjoy helping individuals and relationships see and make sense of the ways their pasts show up in their present, especially those navigating formative trauma, major identity or life changes, or relationship patterns that feel stuck on repeat. Therapy is supposed to be the place where you get to show up as your full, messy self without judgment. My job is to help you feel safe and grounded enough to do just that. If you’re ready to take the first step towards finding your way back to yourself, I’d love to walk alongside you. Please reach out for a free consultation!

My therapy style is direct, honest and compassionate. With over 20 years experience, I strive to create a safe, relaxed environment where you feel able to be open and vulnerable. I believe in drawing upon the strengths and resilience of my clients as we do our work together, whether that is short term counseling to navigate some of life’s bumps or for long term therapy to work on chronic issues or patterns. I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy and it is a gift we give ourselves. Although it can feel uncomfortable to ask for help, I encourage you to take the risk and reach out.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Jasmine Easley, a trauma based therapist helping teens and women to heal trauma through mindful presence. Have you experienced trauma in the past and never got a chance to really talk about it? Do you feel like your mind is occupied with so many thoughts at once? Or maybe you've lost interest in things, and feel your body battling with unwavering emotions that you don't know how to control. Healing is a journey, but if you're ready to take a step back into those past experiences, then you're in the right space. This is your time to confront those thoughts and emotions, and learn healthy skills to address them. If you reside in Georgia or Michigan, I'm here to help you heal through traumatic experiences by fostering a state of mindfulness. I work from a holistic approach, which means along with talk therapy to address past trauma, I will also teach you skills to manage and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. We will also focus on habits around sleep, nutrition, physical health, and self-care. I look forward to working with you!

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. I am an MSU grad myself, and currently have both present and former clients who are students at State. I am offering short-term crises-type services at no charge to students affected by the recent tragic events on campus. Since I also have a busy practice in Novi, which is about an hour away from MSU, I would need to hold our sessions virtually. I have about 30 years experience as a therapist, and I would like to be of help during this very difficult time.

For most people, there comes a time when life’s stressors become too great for the individual to manage on their own. Unhealthy thought patterns and coping behaviors can add to this stress and even isolate the person from their usual support system. Those that seek assistance through therapy may find that they are able to learn new ways of coping with stress. Or, they may learn to view situations through a different perspective. The intervention or change for each person varies based on that individual’s needs. I look forward to building a partnership with my clients to meet each individual’s specific goals and desired outcomes. In order for a therapist and client to make significant change, a strong therapeutic relationship is essential. I aim to provide a respectful, safe, and supportive environment where the client and therapist are free to be honest. By building this trustful partnership, we are able to identify and address the individual’s specific goals and needs. I believe clients are the experts on their own lives, and so I meet them right where they are at in their healing journey. From there, we’ll work together to determine a plan that effectively addresses their unique needs. I believe in the importance of tailoring therapeutic interventions to each specific client to maximize positive outcomes.
