Therapists for college students near Calvin University

When one feels that they are more in control, they have more confidence in themselves. When one feels out of control and overwhelmed, they are lacking in confidence and often get frustrated. Thankfully there is a way to be a control freak without doing it to others. Control yourself by paying more attention to your emotions, thoughts, and actions. I want to help you do that so you can find more enjoyment out of the things you want to do and less stress doing the things you don't want to do. Let me help you create confidence in yourself to manage better and take control of your life. Some of the most common things I help you gain more control over is stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders / dysfunctions, emotional management, and relationships.

Therapy near Calvin University for anxiety, depression, and relationships. I am a licensed therapist located just steps from Calvin University, providing in-person and virtual therapy for college students and young adults throughout Michigan. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, as well as the unique pressures of academic life and identity development. My background across various mental health settings means I’m comfortable meeting you exactly where you are, whether you’re facing everyday stress or deeper clinical struggles. Therapy with me is a warm, relaxed, and non-judgmental space to slow down and reflect. I value deep, insight-oriented work. While we will address immediate coping skills, our focus will be on helping you understand yourself, process your patterns, and build meaningful relationships. If you are looking for an approachable environment to sort things out at your own pace, reach out today to schedule an initial consultation and see if we are a good fit.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! I value a person-centered approach that is tailored to your unique needs. I am invested in cultivating a warm and gentle environment for you to feel comfortable bringing your full self to sessions. I work with both adults and adolescents, and can see clients in person or over telehealth. I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Ball State University, where I worked with college students in a university counseling setting. My background includes addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, identity development, and relationship concerns. I've supported individuals in processing intense emotions, building positive strategies for improving mental health, and building compassion for all parts of self. I also have a strong commitment to supporting individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. I look forward to joining you on your path to healing and growth.

Hi! My name is Matt and I am a limited licensed professional counselor. I have been working as a counselor since 2022 and have been working in the mental health field since 2016. My first counseling job was at Central Michigan University and I worked with clients with a variety of concerns such as life adjustments, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, etc. Before anything else, I'd first try to get to know you, your circumstances, your presenting problem, and your strengths before we focus on how we can make the best use of our time together, whether that be space to process, thinking of solutions, or something else. If we don't happen to be a match, that's ok! I work with a team of other mental health professionals who may be available to take on new clients as well.

I work with teens and adults who feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, discouraged, or worn down by chronic pain. Together, we pursue healing that honors both your mental health and your faith. My approach is grounded in clinical psychology, with the option to thoughtfully integrate Christian spirituality and/or address religious trauma in a way that is respectful, collaborative, and aligned with your values. As therapy progresses, you’ll begin to notice meaningful shifts. Life, work, and relationships will feel lighter and steadier. Moments of genuine joy will return. When difficult thoughts or emotions arise, they won’t pull you under. Instead of spiraling into overthinking or self-criticism, you’ll respond with clarity, wisdom, and self-compassion. The harsh inner voice softens, replaced by one that is kinder and more truthful. The world may still feel uncertain at times, but it will no longer feel hopeless. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to learn more about my story and approach.

Hello all, I’m Emily. Trying to heal while dealing with the challenges that life entails can be difficult and enraging. I am here to tell you that you do not have to do it alone. I offer non-judgmental and inclusive therapy by providing a safe and comfortable space to explore your emotions and start the healing process. I obtained my B.A. in Psychology from Saint Mary’s College in 2020 and my M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Aquinas College in 2023. I specialize in working with adults (18-30 years of age) and couples. I have experience in working on several issues including depression, anxiety, marital and relational issues, sexuality, test anxiety, and academic performance issues. My approach to counseling consists of letting you, the client, direct our sessions. I am here to offer my professional help using techniques and interventions. These techniques involve journaling, mindfulness strategies, grounding techniques, coping skills, and many more. We will work together to find the treatment plan and goals that feel right for you.

Our experiences shape how we think, feel, and participate in the world. From individual personality, to family of origin, to cultural context, the interaction of internal and external can result in feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulty in relationships, or confusion about identity. Sometimes all that’s needed is short-term help that focuses on developing better coping skills, and other times deep, long-term, insight-oriented work is necessary to disentangle complex lifelong difficulties. I focus on developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, which sets the foundation to process painful experiences and celebrate meaningful change. By exploring the richness of your internal world and your interpersonal experiences, we will gain insight into the underlying forces that influence the way you think, feel, and behave. I will collaborate with you to manage overwhelming feelings, integrate traumatic experiences, and help identify and remove the obstacles that block your natural ability to grow. With new clarity, you'll be able to break unhelpful patterns, heal from psychological wounds, and move forward in your life with mindful intentionality.

As parents, we can feel overwhelmed by the task of raising successful, happy children and life these days sure doesn't make it any easier. My goal as a therapist is to provide kids and families with tools to not only heal, but to thrive. In 2013, I graduated from Michigan State University with a Masters in Social Work. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have developed a deep passion for providing evidence-based treatment to children and families who have experienced trauma. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation/self-harm, and trauma. I incorporate trauma informed interventions with cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic techniques. Each child is different, and each family they are a part of is unique as well- I make every effort to tailor your therapy to you and your family's needs.

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.

At MPTS, LLC, our mission is to create a strong relationship of trust with clients in a caring and judgement-free space, capitalizing on diverse experiences, specialties, and therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of the clients we serve. In so doing, we advance the following core values: • Multicultural Competence, Humility, and Sensitivity We recognize the importance of culture in informing our identities and our unique lived experiences. As such, we are dedicated to fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust so that our clients become comfortable in exploring their life’s journey with their therapist. • Client-Centered Approaches We recognize that truly effective therapy is collaborative in nature. While our therapists have specialized knowledge and expertise, you and your therapist work together as a team to unpack your concerns and discover the ways to help you move toward your mental health goals. • Present-Time Focus While we understand exploring our past experiences helps to inform our future experiences, it is necessary to deliberately and purposefully be in our present. When we strive to live in the present moment, regardless of the discomfort or pain, we gain personal insight and strength to begin making change, as may be needed. • Empowerment Focus We believe that despite life’s challenges or even because of these challenges there is within each of us the potential for growth.

Thank you for considering the meaningful step of improving your life through therapy. I have over 10 years of experience in helping young adults with a wide range of concerns, from anxiety to depression to relationships to making career decisions and managing daily stresses. I practice evidence-based behavioral therapy while treating you with the warm, friendly concern I would want for a dear family member. My clients often feel better after the first session or two and tend to feel and function significantly better after 4 to 6 sessions. I value nothing more than helping people improve their lives, and I look forward to the privilege of helping you do the same. Warm Regards, Aaron George, LMSW, CAADC True Therapy

We all have a way of maintaining safety in relationships and making the world "work." However, from time to time, we realize that these strategies may or may not be leading us to the life we've wanted. I greatly enjoy working with women experiencing anxiety and relationship difficulties - often manifesting as high achievement and/or perfectionism. Many of my current clients are in the helping professions - mental health, medicine, faith-based ministry. Together, we begin to explore interpersonal patterns and tendencies as well as core beliefs and narratives, with the goal of creating a new story.
