Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Many of the students I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or unsure how to manage everything on their plate. You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, trouble focusing, or feeling mentally exhausted from trying to keep up with school, work, and life. I work especially well with students who are navigating ADHD, autism/neuro-spicy, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, depression, or big life transitions. Some of my clients struggle with procrastination, staying organized, or following through on tasks, even when they really want to do well. Others feel constantly stressed, overthink everything, or have a hard time turning their mind off. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or just not like yourself lately, that’s enough. My approach is practical and supportive. We focus on real-life strategies that help you manage stress, improve focus, and feel more in control of your day-to-day life. At the same time, we’ll explore what’s underneath the stress so you can start to feel more grounded and confident. If you’re looking for a therapist who is easy to talk to and focused on helping you actually feel better, not just talk about problems, you’re in the right place.

Coming to therapy for the first time can feel daunting. We all crave familiarity, so stepping into growth often brings discomfort—but that discomfort can serve as a catalyst for transformation. As a therapist, I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, offering support through the process of self-discovery. I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly and without judgment. I view my role as a collaborative partner in helping you untangle what feels overwhelming, while honoring that you are the expert in your own life. My approach to therapy is intuitive, curious, and deeply client-centered. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), tailoring techniques to best address each individual’s needs. I believe that strong therapeutic relationships are built on empathy, patience, and authenticity. As we work together, I’ll offer a balance of support and challenge, helping you move toward the changes you’re seeking at a pace that feels right for you.

Hey! I am so glad you are here! My name is Katie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I received my Bachelor's degree in Communications from Hope College and my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cornerstone University. I am passionate about working with college students and young adults (and adults of all ages and walks of life!). Whether you are feeling stuck deciding on what is next, what path to choose for your career or life, or just need a listening ear, I am here to create a space where you can show up as you are and leave feeling encouraged and heard. College and those post years are really tough, and full disclosure where some of the most messy and challenging years of my life. Therapy was so important to me during that time, and I hope to offer you the support you deserve to navigate your experience. When we meet, you can expect a very personable experience focused on you and your goals, some humor and references to various shows/songs/movies or the latest trend I am trying to understand to help remind you that you are not alone, and a space where nothing is ever too much, you will never be judged, and you can truly be authentically yourself.
