Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Queer and trans affirming, collaborative, resiliency- focused trauma therapy. See the website for full practice details.

I work with teens and college students to help them deal with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns. I also help people who are stressed out and need some clarity about big decisions such as whether to change majors. I use Solution Focused Therapy which means I'll help you get a clear idea of what you want things to look like in the immediate future and then help you use your current strengths and past successes to make it happen. I'll help you get ideas for small but do-able changes to start with, and these small changes add up to big change.

I work with folks that are in the middle of change—whether that’s navigating substance use, questioning long-held beliefs, or rebuilding after a major life shift. As a master’s level student therapist pursuing an LPC, I take a solution-focused, creative approach that blends evidence-based techniques like CBT and IFS with real-world problem-solving. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about movement, perspective shifts, and practical steps forward. Through curiosity, structure, and a focus on what works, we’ll navigate this together. If you’re ready to start—or even just thinking about it—let’s talk.

You feel the pressure to look like you have it “all together,” but inside you are struggling to feel confident in yourself and your relationships. Struggling with FOMO, feeling like a fraud or a fake, the pressure of social media and saving face … this stage of life has so many challenges. It might be hard to even remember what life was like before you felt this way, but you know there’s hope. You know these problems don’t have to be permanent—you just need some help getting out of your own way. You’re ready to combat the negative self talk, improve your relationships, and work toward the potential you know you have inside of you. Clients come to me looking for a warm, engaging therapist who specializes in the challenges they’re facing. I work exclusively with millennials & gen z experiencing anxiety, creating a safe & supportive space that’s dedicated to your progress. After establishing your unique goals for therapy, we’ll find the right solutions to help you reach them. If you are ready to take control of your future, you’re in the right place. Things might feel overwhelming right now, but you really can experience the relief, self-confidence, and calm you deserve. Call me today for a free consultation. I can’t wait to hear from you.

At the Lake Orion Counseling Center, we have a multi-disciplinary team of psychologists, social workers, and counselors to work trained in a variety of approaches to deal with many different issues including anxiety, depression, and trauma. We have a diverse staff that is very experienced and easy to work with.

College can be an exciting time, but it also comes with challenges—academic stress, big life transitions, relationship struggles, and pressure to figure out the future. Many students I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to manage their emotions and responsibilities. Some struggle with anxiety that makes it hard to focus, depression that drains their motivation, or past experiences that continue to impact their daily life. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I specialize in helping young adults work through anxiety, depression, and trauma using an integrative, practical approach. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, develop strategies to help you feel more in control, and work toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, gain clarity, and build confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Hello all, my name is Andrea Dillon. I work with students with transition issues, stress management, depression, anxiety, and perfectionism. When working with my students, I often focus on building skills based on what you have already built, and help you practice tuning into yourself while learning new coping skills. In my sessions I often find myself laughing with my students as a way to touch on topics and finding the joy/humor in life.

“There is no love like your own.” My approach to therapy is attachment-based and relationship-focused, as I believe our work is built upon a strong therapeutic foundation. In our relationship, I will help you develop a kinder and safer inner-world to live in, to help you reach your goals and feel more connected to others in your life. We will help you recognize your inner strengths as we walk this journey together. I have previous experience in an adult psychiatric inpatient unit at University of Michigan hospital. This formed my holistic understanding of mental health, and it sharpened my crisis intervention skills. I was drawn to the therapeutic relationships I built in this setting, which is why I transitioned to working in private practice: to build trusting, supportive, therapeutic relationships to help everyone I work with reach their goals and lead more fulfilling lives.

Are you going through a significant life event or change? Or are you ready to work through past distressing memories or traumatic events? Embarking on the therapeutic journey takes courage, as well as finding the right therapist. I specialize in helping those going through significant life events and discernment, individuals who experience depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, as well as those who identify as LGBTQIA. I prefer to view therapeutic foci through an Adaptive Information Processing Model, rather than through a pathological lens. So many presenting symptoms are actually trauma-related, and that is where healing can start. What if your brain could heal itself? I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be a powerful treatment for PTSD, anxiety, grief, performance improvement, depression and many other conditions. I am trained in the EMDR DeTUR protocol for urge reduction as well (focusing on addictions or other compulsive behaviors). In an effort to accommodate busy schedules, I offer evening and weekend appointments. Together, we will collaborate on goals and a plan while building upon your strengths. I look forward to hearing from you! If interested in EMDR therapy and curious about it, please see www.emdria.org for further information.

The shift from being a teenager to an adult can feel pretty overwhelming. It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t have everything figured out, especially when it seems like everyone else has it all together. You’re probably dealing with a lot—leaving home, becoming more independent, and figuring out how your relationships with family are changing. Feeling stuck or uncertain is normal, but it can also bring on feelings of anxiety, low self-worth, and even depression. And leaving home often opens up the space to finally face things in your family life that might have been too hard to address before. I’m here to support you through these transitions, helping you build confidence and see things in a more hopeful light. We’ll work together to set realistic goals that feel good for you, giving yourself the grace you need while creating a clear plan for what’s next. I’ll guide you to tap into your inner strength, uncover what truly matters to you, and help you access the resources you need. Through various therapeutic techniques, we’ll work on healing, managing emotions, and learning how to communicate your needs in a healthy way.
