Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Hello and welcome! My name is Elizabeth Falzon and I am a fully licensed therapist and the owner of Apricity Therapy Services in St. Clair Shores. A little bit about myself, I graduated from Saginaw Valley State University in 2017 with my undergraduate degree in Social Work. In 2018 I graduated from Michigan State University with my masters in Social Work. I love my job and I love working with my clients. I particularly enjoy working with college age people. I have a lot of experience working with people diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. Personally, I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 5th grade, which I feel gives me a unique perspective when working with this population. I'm trained multiple therapy interventions including DBT and PE. DBT stands for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and was a therapy originally designed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, but has since been shown to be effective with many other diagnoses. PE stands for Prolonged Exposure Therapy. This is a therapy used to treat PTSD. I am also a trauma informed therapist. If you are at all interested in meeting with me I would love to schedule a free 15 minute over-the-phone consultation to see if we would be a good match for each other. The best way to contact me is through email. I offer both telehealth services and in-person services in St. Clair Shores.

For many folks, transitioning to college life feels difficult enough. But for those who are holding themselves together after trauma, struggling with chronic illness and mental health, or those who are first-generation students, the hurdles to being successful can feel insurmountable. As a therapist, I specialize in working with clients who identify as BIPOC, neurodiverse, or who are navigating chronic health conditions. My goal is to help clients recover from PTSD, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and navigate relationships in ways that set them free from people-pleasing. I have worked extensively with survivors of sexual assault and other forms of abuse. I work for Spring Forest Counseling, a group therapy practice located in Okemos, where I see clients in-person and virtually. I am trained in EMDR for PTSD, and also utilize IFS/parts work, mindfulness, and exposure therapy when relevant. My approach is direct, empowerment-based, and educational.

As a visual artist who uses creative processes to support mental health, I work with those who gravitate towards writing, music, dance, and visual arts. My personal understanding of the creative process and how it can be adapted to support people emotionally and mentally comes into play as we work together to create a safe place for exploration. I especially love working with young adults who are defining their identity and dealing with anxiety and overwhelm during this transition. I look forward to seeing how your creativity can be used as a strength in your times of need. accepting virtual and in-person appointments.

I have many years of experience working with teenagers. I specifically enjoy working with teens who experience anxiety. As a previous college student, I look forward to providing you with support and tools to get through these difficult times in life!

Most likely, you are searching due to questions about the world you are entering into, and what is your next step now that you are in college or nearing the end. My goal is to help you navigate your next step and, if necessary, assist in reducing your anxiety and depression that may or may not be correlated to your college experience.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 17 years of experience providing counseling and social work services to children, teens, adults, and families. My experience includes supporting clients dealing with adjusting to life changes and stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationships. Since completing a Sport Social Work Certification through the University of Michigan in 2022, I have added supporting athletes with their unique mental health and sports performance needs. Beginning therapy means different things to different people, but it is often an action of courage, hope, self-care, and self-determination. I value the importance of highlighting and exploring the unique strengths and resilience in each individual to help encourage hope, confidence, healing, and growth. My therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered therapy, emphasizing the exploration of what holds personal meaning for each individual with the emphasis on becoming self-aware and in tune with self. My goal is to provide genuine clinical support via teletherapy tailored to help clients achieve their personal goals in processing their focus of therapy while recognizing the importance of holistic wellness and addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being to foster a sense of overall wellness.

Asking for help can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be! You don’t have to suffer in silence or figure it out alone. Are you ready to name what you need? Are you ready to be authentically you? Are you ready to confront the things you’ve been avoiding, set goals, and crush them? These are just a few questions some of my clients might ask themselves as they prepare to engage in therapy. If you are ready to take steps on your journey, I am dedicated to providing the supportive, compassionate and authentic environment for you to succeed, so send the message, let’s connect! I recieved my Bachelors in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2013, and obtained my Masters in Social Work and Evidence Based Trauma Treatment Certificate in 2018.

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!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (in the states of Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio) who has been practicing for over 10 years. I have years of experience working with college students as I am a former College Counseling Center Director and worked in counseling centers as well as have seen college students in my private practice. I have years of experience providing both clinically and culturally competent therapy (meaning I collaborate with students to address topics they want to in therapy using tools/strategies that have been proven helpful and I take into consideration a student's various social identities and how that may impact how they experience the world). I find that I work well with students who are working through life transitions, adjustments, relationship stressors, experiencing anxiety(including those who experience social anxiety) depression, a desire to increase their self-esteem, racial trauma, or are in need increasing their overall coping skills.

The clients I've worked with that have reported the greatest success all have one thing in common: They tried their hardest in and out of session to challenge themselves. I firmly believe that every person has the answers they are searching for within themselves. I often work with clients to build up their faith & trust within themselves so that they no longer go through life second guessing everything they do. During the young adult stage of life people often believe that they are supposed to have everything in their life figured out. I believe that if you really work hard at getting to know yourself, you will have all the tools you'll need to figure out what is best for you going forward.

In my experience working with people from different countries, I’ve seen the importance of providing a safe space where you can be yourself, feel understood and accepted regardless of your culture, religion, race, gender identity, sexual preference, or background. A good therapeutic relationship and a common comprehension of what led you to start therapy, will allow us to guide the therapy process, integrate techniques from different therapies, and give you a better grasp of how to achieve your goals. I’m Bilingual in English and Spanish, I have a master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an Advanced Certification in Schema Therapy. I draw from an integrative psychotherapy orientation, that allows the integration of other evidence-based therapies/techniques.

Hello! My name is Pamelia Sublett and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada and Washington State. I currently am offering on telehealth. My specialites are: anxiety, depression, and bipolar. I have been a therapist for over 12 years. I treat every client as an individual and not as a collective whole. I believe that every individual is important and bring their own person into our sessions. I'd love to hear from you!

Warm Welcome! I have nearly two decades of dedicated experience in providing therapy, and over 40 years of life experience, with the highs and lows of being human. Having been a high-achieving student of many years and often critical of myself, I am particularly attuned to the specific needs of students. I have also had my own journey with neurodiversity and ADD. My primary goal is to create a compassionate space for you to move forward in a journey of health, stability, and independence. I believe in a collaborative approach celebrating the strengths you already have and discovering the ones you have lost. I primarily utilize a psychodynamic structure, leaning heavily on CBT-based skills and self-reflection. I am particularly effective working with those that identify as female of all ages, in addressing stages of life transitions and self-esteem, as I have faced difficulties in those areas myself. I want to see you thrive, and I would be honored to work with you.

Let’s be honest. Life gets real sometimes. Things happen and we can wind up feeling stuck, lost, or hopeless. To top it all off, we often feel pressured to put on a brave face and weather the storm. It’s for these reasons that I founded Sunshine Counseling. You deserve a space where you can be yourself, where you don’t have to hide, and where you can safely process life. Truth be told, I named my therapy practice after a mug my friend gave me which sarcastically declares, "I am a ray of freaking sunshine!" This cheeky little mug actually encapsulates my world view. It is not all sunshine and rainbows. And that's ok. I tailor my approach to individuals, their needs, and their state of change. I believe that therapy is all about relationships and I want to aid others in having a healthy relationship with themselves that can then translate to having one with the people they choose to hold in their lives. Reaching out for support is a big step. Snaps for making it to this point. When you are ready, let's connect to schedule a free consultation. If I’m not the right fit for you or do not have the particular training or expertise to assist you, I will provide you with alternative referrals.
