Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Welcome! Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming and sometimes intimidating. Not sure what to expect, what will really help, or maybe you think people don't really understand what you've been through or what you're experiencing. Taking a step towards taking care of your mental health is huge! Every person's needs are different which is why I take a client-centered approach to therapy. Your needs determine what we work on. If you have any questions, reach out and we can do a consultation!

One of my passions about my role as a therapist is to normalize therapy, why else would I do this! I think that this is something that my clients can bring away from their sessions. (Que cliche sunshine and rainbows that can be very real when you choose therapy, a very big and hard step). Everyone needs a little support every now and then, but sometimes, events happen that make you feel like you need a little more support, or college feels a little more overwhelming that you expected. I get it, because I've been there. Trauma and negative thinking patterns are treatable and can be managed and I often find that with the use of EMDR and other techniques that I engage in, my clients often feel much better. I work with individuals to manage significant life stressors or traumatic events or histories that continue to impact or trigger you and decide to pop up and cause trouble in unexpected moments. I also work with pregnancy and postpartum concerns!

Hey there, I'm Claire! I am a Limited Licensed Marriage & Family therapist, and member of Michigan’s chapter of Postpartum Support International. My clinical work has been with couples and individuals navigating non-monogamy, LGBTQIA2S+ identities, ADHD, Autism, anxiety, disordered eating, people-pleasing, and grief. I especially enjoy working with teens/youth to create accepting spaces where we don’t need to mask. I offer in-person mental health therapy appointments, and telehealth when needed. Outside the office, I can be found talking to my friendly neighborhood highland cows and occasionally my plants. I strive to build safe spaces with my clients where their strengths are celebrated. My training is in systems theory, a trauma-informed therapeutic approach that respects how our relationships with the world impact our personal journeys. I embrace therapy as a collaborative, client-centered experience that creates new opportunities for growth.

Life can be overwhelming at times, but growth is possible—even in the midst of struggle. I approach therapy as a partnership built on trust, empathy, and curiosity. My hope is to help you gain clarity, deepen self-understanding, and build the tools you need to live more fully and authentically. Most clients I see are looking to heal from trauma, family dynamics, or attachment wounds that continue to influence their current relationships and sense of self. If you feel uncertain, stuck, or pressured to “have it together,” I provide a compassionate, empowering space to explore your story, heal, and grow into your authentic self.

My clients describe me as: Providing a nurturing & affirming space for women who are curious about exploring their true selves and looking to examine life through a renewed lens Something to know about my approach is: My counseling approach is rooted in helping you tap into your inner strengths as I believe you hold the power to create self-growth & healing. I view counseling as a collaborative process where we work to strengthen these resources within you. Together, we will: We will work to unlearn restrictive beliefs, learn and uncover personal insights, and relearn how to navigate your life in a way that feels more cohesive and aligned to your true self. I specialize in working with people who: I specialize in affirming therapy for women (18+ years of age). Additionally, I specialize neurodiverse-affirming therapy for women who suspect or receive a late Autism diagnosis, ADHD diagnosis, or both (AuADHD, AuDHD). I became a therapist because: Being multiply neurodiverse--AuADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, chronic illness--I understand how it feels to be dismissed by healthcare professionals. There is a need for providers who share these identities and experiences with clients. Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is: I offer therapy that aims to meet you where you are. I believe in the healing power of nature and can additionally offer Nature based therapy. More about me and my practice: You do not have to be a woman, or in the neurodivergent umbrella to work with me. I support clients who have concerns or want to gain insight about how living in Western culture and an individualist society influence mental health and relationships.

Hi there, if you've been struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings it's possible that they've felt like barriers to doing the things that are important to you.

I provide individual psychotherapy in a warm, encouraging, and collaborative style. I use a blend of techniques that are backed by research to ensure you're getting the best care possible. If you're unsure about therapy please contact me for a free consultation call to see if we might be a good fit. From there if we decide to work together we can begin treatment by identifying what your struggle has been, and how we can get you back to living the life you want. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Between balancing work, school pressures, relationships and the 24 hour news cycle, it is natural to feel anxious and overwhelmed. As your therapist, I strive to walk alongside you and build upon your pre-existing skills to empower you to feel confident enough to manage future life stressors on your own and learning to identify what things truly deserve your energy. My approach takes on a trauma-informed lens with compassion-focused interventions. I often like to consider how various systems in the US have impacted our ability to thrive and what we can do to cope with them. I enjoy working with teens and young-adults wanting to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, life transitions and impacts of trauma. I reference research-based psychotherapy while also weaving in humor and candidness into each session. I believe that acting with humility is an essential component of the therapeutic process. If we can't be our authentic selves, we are limiting our potential for success.
