Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I have a strong desire to help others feel understood, to confront both joy and pain, and to support others in not only surviving, but reviving and thriving through this one wild and precious life. I have been told I specialize in “you go girl therapy”, and I tend to agree. I want to provide you with support, empathy, a shoulder to cry on, and to join you in celebration dances as you work to meet your goals. Can’t wait to work with you, Mama! Navigating my own path through the great adventure of motherhood has been the greatest and most challenging journey of my life. I understand the pull that mothers feel in so many different directions, and the guilt, pressure, and overwhelming joy that comes with it. Before beginning my journey to becoming a licensed clinician, I worked in career services assisting students and adults in discovering their career paths and meeting their goals. Like many moms, kiddos sparked a change in my own career path. Now, I am able to work with clients moving through their own career transitions, defining success, exploring the tax of motherhood in the corporate world, the anxiety and/or depression around work and work-life, and the unique challenges that come with being both a unique individual and a kick-ass mom. My experience counseling moms, dads, expecting parents, couples, and those in the ecosystem of family, such as grandparents and caregivers, has solidified my personal belief that there is no one way to be a great caregiver. Let’s find what works for you, brings you joy, and helps you to realize your full potential during this wonderful, wearing, and wild moment in 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.

Believe me, we all have stories to tell.
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 consider the relationship between client and therapist one of the most important factors in therapy. As a therapist, my goal is to create a comfortable, non-judgmental space so I can assist others in exploring negative patterns in their lives and help them develop new tools to foster positive coping skills. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy, with special focus on the body and mind and how they interact. As a registered yoga teacher, my treatment approach places emphasis on turning inward and reconnecting with the body to help release stored emotions. I use a trauma-informed approach to life issues with clients and incorporate mindfulness skills, somatic movement, and breathwork into my therapy practice. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, PTSD, and mood disorders. Additionally, I work with clients who are experiencing grief and loss, life transitions, addiction, caregiver stress, interpersonal/relationship problems, and codependency.
My name is Jayla Caver, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my MSW from Wayne State Michigan. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with trauma, low self esteem, depression, anxiety, grief and loss and relationship problems. I believe in a trust based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable. Mostly, clients tell me they feel like they have chatted with a friend but realize there has been growth in the conversation. To me, that is the way it should be.
