Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Modern humans have existed on earth for about 200,000 years, while the modern office (and many other stressors in our lives) emerged less than 200 years ago. We really are in uncharted waters. With such a minuscule amount of human history lived under these conditions, it is no surprise that so many of us struggle to make our way. Everyone deserves to have someone in their corner. Everyone deserves to aspire, achieve, dream, thrive, and rest. The miracle of the therapeutic relationship is not just that relief is possible, but that we are active participants in deciding how that looks for ourselves. Together, we hold space to elevate your experience and to discover and endeavor towards your goals. Taking what resonates with you (and setting aside what doesn't), we can work within any of life's domains where we believe change is possible, and can go inward with acceptance and mindfulness to sit with the parts of our realities that are beyond our control. At the risk of sounding cliche - trying therapy is a brave act in a challenging world. Goodness of fit is a valid concern, and you deserve to find a therapist that will work for you! Get in touch today, and we can schedule a 15-minute phone call to explore working together.

I believe in empowering individuals to take control of their health. I have a deep belief in the ability for you to overcome difficulties. As a therapist, I believe, you are the expert in your experience and it is my role to provide a safe, understanding, and non-judgemental space for you to heal, grow, and move into a new way of being and feeling. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out on your own–we will work together. I am here to support you in your healing journey. Collaboratively, we will set goals on both what you want to achieve and things that you want to rid from your life. Burying or ignoring our pain may feel like the only way we can move past them. In reality, painful things that happen to us can continue to impact our ability to maintain and develop healthy relationships, as well as our overall physical and mental health. Difficult circumstances may even alter the way we view ourselves and the world around us; making us seem like we aren’t “worthy” or a “good person.” I am here to help you regain the sense of who you want to be in the world and to free yourself of negative views of yourself. You are meant to thrive and I am here to support you until you get to where you want to be. Maybe you don’t know what you want to do with your life at this point. Perhaps a relationship has gone sour, you found out that the degree you received or the job you have is not what you want. Therapy can help you figure out your next steps and change the path you have been on. I have experience working with both men and women of diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma. I have a great deal of passion for working with people who want to boost their self-esteem. I have a great deal of knowledge on how to help resolve intimacy issues in relationships and also with one’s self. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression. I have a strong conviction to help serve the LGBTQ+ community as well as experience and resources.

Welcome! I’m a licensed professional counselor passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover deeper emotional wellness. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with compassion and curiosity. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, or past trauma, I aim to walk alongside you with empathy and evidence-based care. I integrate approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness to support your unique path toward healing and growth. Empathy is at the core of healing. As a licensed professional counselor, I believe true transformation begins when you feel deeply heard, understood, and accepted. My approach to therapy is rooted in genuine empathy, creating a safe space where you don’t have to carry your burdens alone.

When you’ve experienced trauma, harm, injustice or high stress environments it can leave us feeling overstimulated or detached. This can make it hard to see the other side, which is why I'm here to go along this path with you. I specialize in working with trauma processing, neurodivergence, identity exploration, existential thoughts, psychiatric harm, interpersonal relationships and sexual well-being. I often work with black/multi-racial persons, LGBTQIA2S+ folk, those with disabilities, college students, and those experiencing life transitions. My approach is rooted in empowerment, interpersonal dynamics and liberation. I strive to find techniques and tools specifically for you, so you walk away from each session feeling like we have truly done the work.

Emotional peace and freedom are possible, whatever storm you may find yourself in. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relational conflict, family stressors, and who want to know themselves more deeply. So often there are a multitude of factors at play- relationships, academics, work, culture, and more- and therapy can be a place to explore how these impact thoughts, feelings, experiences, and your sense of self. It is my hope and commitment to create a space where exploring your challenges and goals can allow for the kind of growth and peace you want in your life and relationships.

At Heartfelt Healing, I tend to connect most with students who are thoughtful, caring, and often hard on themselves. You might be the one others rely on, the responsible friend, the high achiever, the one who “has it together,” while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure inside. Many of the students I work with are navigating big life shifts such as starting college, adjusting to independence, healing from a breakup, questioning relationships, or trying to find their footing in who they are becoming. Some are working through body image struggles, disordered eating patterns, family stress, or the pressure to meet expectations. Others simply feel stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from constantly overthinking. If you’re considering therapy but don’t have clear goals or the “right words” yet, that’s completely okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes the first step is simply knowing something doesn’t feel quite right and being open to exploring it in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. We can figure the rest out together.

As a therapist, my primary focus is on creating a safe and collaborative environment where your voice is central to the process. I understand that each client comes with unique challenges, and I am here to walk alongside you as we explore and work through them together.

Finding a new therapist can be overwhelming. I'm so glad you're here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for college students struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration (including LGBTQ+ affirming care), and life transitions. Many of my clients are often struggling with confidence, setting boundaries, and being in touch with their feelings and needs. I love supporting young adults who are navigating changing relationships, whether it is navigating new and old friendships, reconfiguring relationships with parents and/or figuring out how you want to show up in romantic relationships. As a multiracial woman, I can empathize with students of color and members of other groups facing obstacles related to systemic oppression, and I strive to create a space where every part of your identity is honored and supported. I form genuine connections with each of my clients and develop a true partnership to address challenges while celebrating growth and progress along the way. I provide a balance of space to process thoughts and feelings while also offering practical tools to support change. You can show up how you need to in a safe, warm and non-judgemental space. I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan but spent the last few years in Denver and have recently moved back to Grand Rapids. When I'm not working I love yoga, running, baking and spending time outside. I'm accepting new clients and happy to text/talk to see if I can be a good fit for what what you need. I accept BCBC, BCN, BCN Advantage, cash-pay and have some sliding scale appointments. Feel free to reach out and I hope I can be a support!

Welcome. I’m Chloe. I received my Master's in Social Work from Michigan State University and have been practicing for 14 years. I have spent my career walking alongside children, teens, and adults as they navigate issues of grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. In my practice, I focus on validating each client’s unique experience. I allow clients to share information and process emotions at their own pace. I use a collaborative, integrative approach when working with clients to develop a treatment plan that fits with their needs. Although, grief is often seen as inherently connected with love, grief can also arise from complicated situations. It is not uncommon for someone to experience feelings of grief despite not having “liked’ the person when they were alive. This can bring up a mix of emotions including sadness, anger, regret, guilt, relief, and many others. The situation can leave the client feeling conflicted about grieving someone who has hurt them or someone they know. I work to develop therapeutic relationships where clients feel safe to begin to unlayer these complicate emotions and find a way to release the emotional burden associated with them. In my practice, I respect that each client has their own unique journey and I seek to listen with compassion, patience, and genuineness. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming space where clients can take the time needed to work through their feelings to ultimately heal and grow.
