Therapists for college students near Eastown, Grand Rapids, MI
I work best with college students and young adults dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, low mood, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by academic pressure, relationships, or trying to figure out what’s next. My style is collaborative and practical — helping you better understand your emotions, build coping skills, and find strategies that make daily life feel more manageable and balanced. I use evidence-based approaches that focus on building coping skills, increasing emotional awareness, and strengthening confidence, while always tailoring sessions to your goals and pace.
I work from an attachment and relational lens in therapy. I incorporate emotion focused interventions, which are beneficial for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood concerns, or relational concerns.
Fellow believes that by mobilizing our shared human experiences we can undo feelings of aloneness that lay at the core of our distress. When we do this, we find greater connection with ourselves and others.
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.

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
I work with individuals seeking deeper self-awareness and clarity around the root causes of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship challenges. If you feel stuck in repetitive patterns or disconnected from your authentic self, I offer guidance to explore and heal past wounds, trauma, or relational dynamics.

I strive to create a safe, empathic space where you can explore your inner world, strengthen your connection to yourself, and navigate life’s challenges with greater understanding and care.
