Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I’ve always known I was meant to help others, and becoming a therapist has allowed me to do just that. I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and feel like the best versions of themselves. I work at Restore Therapy Collective in Grand Rapids offering both in person and telehealth sessions. I work with kids, teens, and adults on ADHD, anxiety, autism, life transitions, school issues, relationships, and trauma. I am also dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence. With a background as a school social worker and education in play therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT, and EMDR, I take a person-centered approach to help clients build resilience and find what works for them. Outside of here, I enjoy traveling, photography, trying new restaurants, reading, and spending time with my two cats, family, and friends. I’m grateful to support my Michigan community and would be honored to help you on your journey!

I've spent many years working in different college counseling centers and have a true love for the college population - so much is happening in emerging adulthood, especially figuring out who you are and what you want life to look like. Because of increased stress and responsibilities, it is also a time where mental health concerns can either emerge for the first time or increase in their severity. I find great joy in getting to be a supportive space and teammate for folks navigating this incredibly rich period of life.

Morgan Hill Institute proudly offers support to both individuals needing counseling support. We specialize in academic and student-related issues, including but not limited to: *adjustment to college *career development/choices (picking a major) *academic stress (studying, exams, classroom behavior, college expectations) *social anxiety *young adult independence (first time away from home, taking care of yourself, learning life skills) *academic performance (grades, exams, etc.)

I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to tell the truth, about our pain, our fears, and the parts of ourselves we learned to hide for surviving purposes. Therapy with me is about creating space to understand yourself with more compassion, clarity, and choice. With over 15 years of experience in the business world, I understand the burnout of high-functioning, over-responsible individuals, the life transitions coming from career change or relocation and the identity exploration and rebuilding after disruption. I am especially drawn to supporting people who have learned to be strong early in life, and are now learning how to be gentler with themselves.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step to improve your mental health! I work with teens, young adults and women to overcome anxiety, build stronger relationships and empower them to live with confidence. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 17 years of experience, working in high schools and private practice. I specialize in supporting people living with anxiety, navigating school, career and life transitions, and coping with body image and relationship issues. I am grateful for a career that allows me to connect with and help so many amazing humans to achieve their goals and feel more content in their lives. Life can be hard, but having someone to walk through it with you can make all the difference!

Jayna Heerema, LCSW is a licensed social worker based in New Jersey (and offers telehealth in Michigan) who specializes in working alongside children, adolescents, and young adults. She has had experience working with individuals with a number of different diagnoses including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. Jayna has seen first-hand the stress and difficulties that youth and young adults can face on an everyday basis, and has experience helping students work through those difficulties and build coping skills so that they are well-equipped to handle whatever may come their way.

In my therapy practice, I work with a lot of people who are great at managing some aspects of their lives, but struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism and relationship issues. They can be so good at helping others, but never learned how to show up for themselves in the same way! I had my own first experience with therapy when I was in college: it was rigid and uncomfortable and not helpful...so I am intentionally here to offer the opposite experience. You'll find that I am laid back, and have a balance of compassion with sass/swearing. I'll help you understand the root of why things are showing up the way they are for you right now, and provide you the space and tools to shift how you are thinking, feeling, and showing up in your life. For clients who are interested, I also incorporate spiritual (not religious) and energetic tools to help the healing process. Check out my website to learn more!

Hello and welcome. Firstly, I can offer services for psychological evaluations and therapy. Evaluations can be helpful to address learning disabilities, ADHD, or psychological pieces that are impacting performance in your educational pursuits. Therapy approaches are integrative and dependent on your goals. I work from an integrative approach that looks at all aspects of you, to recognize and boost your strengths and to put in place tools and cushions for any weak areas that are present. I offer a safe space and take a nonjudgment approach in my work. After all, we have all been struck with the human condition. :)

Life often throws a wrench in our plans, especially when it comes to our relationships, employment, health, finances, and the list goes on. And that’s on top of a global pandemic! It’s no wonder why depression, anxiety, and substance use are more prevalent than ever. As a cancer survivor, I understand how quickly it can feel like the walls are closing in. However, I’ve also learned ways to break free. It’s a primary reason I became a therapist: so I can help others do the same. My specialties including CBT and DBT, which focus on changing thinking and behaviors. This is achieved by building custom action plans for each of my clients. No cookie-cutter plans here! Popular areas to focus on include depression & anxiety, relationships, negative thinking, grieving, and chronic illness. We'll work on whatever is important to you. Making life-changes can be intimidating, but you won’t be going through this alone. I’ll give you hope and support, while simultaneously helping take some of life’s weight off your shoulders.

Welcome. I am a social worker and psychotherapist. I am available to help people with many different symptoms including trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I am also experienced in working with young people wanting to explore their identity and sexuality.

I will work collaboratively with you to process, understand, and gain insight into your lived experience. I look forward to partnering with all my clients in a treatment that is client centered and relationship focused. My modality is relational and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I help you become aware of patterns you may not have known about and make connections between the present and the past.

Do you feel lonely, misunderstood, or lost? Are you unable to share what you’re going through without fear, judgment, or shame? You’re not alone and your voice deserves to be heard. It can be hard to open up to a complete stranger about the pain and problems that you’re facing in life. I applaud you for your bravery in taking this first step. You may be going through a tough battle right now, and I believe that you have the strength in you to overcome it. I want to be the helping hand in getting you there. I won’t just hear you, but I wish to truly listen to understand where you’re coming from. Every person is an individual with their own story. I want to hear your story and help you on your path of life. This is a judgment-free zone. I want to build a relationship on trust and confidentiality so you can feel safe and free to bring your authentic self to session. I want to work with you to explore what you want from life and help you figure out how to get there. I want to support you through your journey in rewriting your life’s story so you can become the person you deserve to be. I have experience in working with abuse, trauma, and women’s issues. As a first-generation Pakistani-American Muslim, I offer a unique perspective to the counseling experience if you are looking for someone who shares a similar background to yours. For clients who would like a faith-based approach, I can integrate Islam into the therapy process. If you are from a Muslim or South Asian background but do not want a faith-based approach, I will provide a non-judgmental, understanding place that is both culturally sensitive and welcoming. If you are of a different faith or background, your worldview is what therapy will be focused on, not mine. How therapy goes is up to you. The therapeutic process is about you and your growth. If I meet what you’re looking for, feel free to call or email me and we can start working on your journey together.
