Therapists for college students near 60614

Hello, I Am KeAnn, a ALMFT! As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I embrace the transformative power of systemic therapy, recognizing that individuals and families exist within deeply interconnected social, cultural, and relational contexts. My work is rooted in cultural competence—understanding that unique identities, values, and traditions shape every client's lived experience. Through an inclusive and collaborative approach, I help clients navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and foster meaningful change, all while honoring their cultural backgrounds. By addressing patterns and dynamics with sensitivity and respect, I empower individuals and families to create lasting transformation in their lives and relationships! Please check out the practice I'm housed with, Grace Therapy and Wellness Center, website below for more details on our mission and therapy inquiries.

I understand that college can be a stressful time, and searching for a therapist can be intimidating! I work with adolescents and adults, with clinical interests that include the LGBTQIA+ community, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and neurodivergence. My therapeutic approach is grounded in a person-centered orientation that emphasizes collaboration, authenticity, and trust within the therapeutic relationship. I also integrate techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies. It is so important for me to tailor my approach to fit what works best for you!

Hi, I'm Tyler Biggs (MA TIU '26) (he/him), an MA on staff with Spring Tree Counseling and I'm well aware of the pressure to over-perform and under-recover. For men in particular, the expectation to provide some tangible service to the world and "prove" one's worth is a constant theme in my counseling. This can make us excel beyond our dreams, or find ourselves in a nightmare. I've worked in a range of fields from non-profit leadership development to college student mentoring to project management. And over the years, I journeyed alongside many high capacity people—and felt the difficulty of that title myself. For many, all of this is just a burden, manifesting as anxiety, panic, or obsessive-compulsive cycles. My goal is to help men who are straining under the immense pressures of life. For adults navigating transitions—new careers, relationships, responsibilities—these can feel like crises. I walk alongside clients through the beautiful, sometimes brutal, times Most heroes from our favorite stories have an ally guiding them toward healing, both in the world and inside themselves. I'm a co-adventurer, working collaboratively with clients to bind up wounds, manage anxiety, and grow resilience on this journey. Life is hard, and finding healing alone is nearly impossible. But through help, it is possible to thrive.

Our clinicians have expertise in neuro-diversity including ADHD/ADD and ASD. We have therapists with clinical interests in so-called “men’s issues” as well as therapists who identify as LGBTQIA+ and who speak Mandarin. We facilitate a process by which clients are able to build their resiliency skills, empowering them, long-term, to survive the inevitable challenges of life.

I am here to help—to help you move beyond the mental roadblocks and anxious feelings that seem overwhelming and are holding you back; to help you reset and reconnect with the feelings of comfort and calm that have gone missing; and, above all, to help you build your sense of empowerment to move through the world on your own terms with feelings of independence, confidence, and pride. I specialize in helping teens, families, and young professionals navigate life’s transitions. Maybe you’re struggling to find your feet at a new school or office. Maybe you’re ramping up to make a major decision. If you’re a parent, maybe you’re feeling like you don’t recognize your child anymore, or maybe your recent efforts to help are coming up short. Whatever the case, I am here to help. When you come to my office, you'll find a warm, laid-back setting-free from judgement. You can expect that I'll honor your own sense of process and tailor our sessions to reflect your unique situation, which will evolve as we begin to enact the plan we establish together. Congratulations on taking this courageous step.

I have always enjoyed working with children and adolescents, but expanding to teens, young adults, and middle-aged adults has been incredible! I assist with addressing a variety of problem areas including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger management, academic difficulties, impulsivity/hyperactivity, symptoms related to trauma history or exposure, relationship concerns, family conflicts, life transitions, and daily stressors. In collaboration with the client and their families, I gather information and assist with developing targeted treatment plans to help clients work toward their goals and improve their overall well-being. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for my clients is what I strive for so clients can feel they can be free with their thoughts and feelings without the fear of being judged. I utilize interventions from models such as Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as counseling progresses and needs are identified. While there are many important factors involved in the counseling process, I believe that one of the most critical aspects of therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship. I utilize my ability to empathize and connect with clients of all ages and backgrounds to develop those strong therapeutic relationships with my clients.

My clients are people who often feel stuck in their thoughts, whether those thoughts are anxious, self-critical, perfectionistic, or filled with doubt. They might be struggling with OCD, social anxiety, phobias, trauma, or just the overwhelming pressure to always get things “right.” My clients come from a variety of background and identities. They want relief, but not just a quick fix. They’re looking to better understand themselves, break free from rigid patterns, and move toward a life that feels more connected, meaningful, and aligned.

From the earliest moments of our lives, we are searching for and are in need of relationships and connection – it is in our early life where we begin to understand who we are, who others are, and what kind of world we live in. It is through this quest for connections outside of us that shades of Meaning, Purpose, and Creativity emerge within us. The quality of these aspects of life produces in us both wounds and liberties. Fortunately, therapy can be a place for us to gently and intentionally tease these qualities out toward a life and sense of self in line with your goals. In my practice, I work with adults of all ages. I have concentrated experience engaging with those who come from and/or are currently engaged in religious communities and the concerns that emerge from religious ideologies. I utilize a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and relational approach to our work together to cultivate curiosity, connection, and care. I believe that people are in a constant flux of Becoming – who we are, how we understand ourselves, others, and the world around us is changing all the time. Ultimately, I am not the arbiter of your life, you are. Intentional and sometimes difficult self-reflection can bring about amazing shifts in our approach to life.

Challenging life transitions such as a new school, being away from home for the first time, the loss of a loved one, or relationship changes can leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and disconnected from our true selves. It may feel like no one understands what you’re going through or like you don’t have the energy for things that used to really matter to you. Perhaps it feels like you lost your identity. You need some relief. You’re ready to feel calmer and more hopeful. You’re ready to feel like you have the tools to handle difficult days. Most of all, you’re ready to feel like yourself again. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is approachable and compassionate, because therapy should be a place where you feel supported and encouraged to grow. Sessions with me incorporate talk therapy, mindfulness, and movement to best suit your unique needs and goals. Together we’ll find a new way forward, at your pace. As a therapist with both clinical and life experience, I am prepared to support you through this difficult transition. I help clients like you find meaning, joy and connection again by equipping them with tools they need to navigate life’s challenges and uncertainties. You don’t have to go through this alone. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation.
