Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Ready to rediscover your happiness - or redefine it? Let's evolve stale relationships; generate meaningful experiences at work; introduce more peace at home. Wherever you are struggling, I help you create a new lense through which you will gain insight into your thought patterns and behaviors and ultimately feel better. I earned my Master's degree in both clinical and school counseling, and a Master's degree in secondary education. I taught for 11 years, incorporating much adolescent, group, and family counseling during that time. I have expanded to counseling individuals and couples, including families. Learning what makes you unique - what lights up your eyes and brings you joy - and helping you become the best version of yourself in ALL areas of your life is one of my greatest passions. My passion is also my reality as an empathic, solutions-focused counselor and experienced teacher. Insight. Growth. Harmony. Healing. Strength. Are you ready?
From birth to present, every individual has a unique story. Some parts of that story will be remembered fondly, and other parts may feel difficult, scary, or overwhelming. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel comfortable sharing their narratives and working towards a greater sense of hope and understanding. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am skilled to help you sort through the obstacles you are facing. Whatever your struggles might be, you do not have to endure them alone. I will journey alongside you to help determine what you need in order to live your best possible life. I believe that everyone's story matters. If you would like help navigating through yours, I invite you to contact me to schedule your first appointment. Together we can find solutions for growth and lasting change. I look forward to working with you as you embark on your journey of self-discovery and healing!
I work with individuals experiencing conflicts in relationships, in identity and/or the experience of self, and uncertainty in overcoming life’s many challenges. In our work together all aspects of you are welcome, and it is my hope that we will create a relationship in which you find comfort and safety to be yourself without fear of judgment. I accept BCBS, BCN, Priority Health and Aetna.

I have been working with Grand Rapids Therapy Group since 2018 and have seen clients who have a range of difficulties. I consider myself the objective perspective for my clients and like to provide skills to help others cope with struggles they may be experiencing. I have a background in Education and School counseling prior to working in a private practice. I like to use mindfulness and relaxation techniques in helping others manage big emotions.
Are you going through a significant life event or change? Or are you ready to work through past distressing memories or traumatic events? Embarking on the therapeutic journey takes courage, as well as finding the right therapist. I specialize in helping those going through significant life events and discernment, individuals who experience depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, as well as those who identify as LGBTQIA. I prefer to view therapeutic foci through an Adaptive Information Processing Model, rather than through a pathological lens. So many presenting symptoms are actually trauma-related, and that is where healing can start. What if your brain could heal itself? I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be a powerful treatment for PTSD, anxiety, grief, performance improvement, depression and many other conditions. I am trained in the EMDR DeTUR protocol for urge reduction as well (focusing on addictions or other compulsive behaviors). In an effort to accommodate busy schedules, I offer evening and weekend appointments. Together, we will collaborate on goals and a plan while building upon your strengths. I look forward to hearing from you! If interested in EMDR therapy and curious about it, please see www.emdria.org for further information.
Let’s create a relationship that supports you to feel more freedom and power. We’ll develop mindfulness practices-tailored to your abilities & interests- to help you better manage stress, anxiety and depression.
I believe in empowering individuals to take control of their health. I have a deep belief in the ability for you to overcome difficulties. As a therapist, I believe, you are the expert in your experience and it is my role to provide a safe, understanding, and non-judgemental space for you to heal, grow, and move into a new way of being and feeling. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out on your own–we will work together. I am here to support you in your healing journey. Collaboratively, we will set goals on both what you want to achieve and things that you want to rid from your life. Burying or ignoring our pain may feel like the only way we can move past them. In reality, painful things that happen to us can continue to impact our ability to maintain and develop healthy relationships, as well as our overall physical and mental health. Difficult circumstances may even alter the way we view ourselves and the world around us; making us seem like we aren’t “worthy” or a “good person.” I am here to help you regain the sense of who you want to be in the world and to free yourself of negative views of yourself. You are meant to thrive and I am here to support you until you get to where you want to be. Maybe you don’t know what you want to do with your life at this point. Perhaps a relationship has gone sour, you found out that the degree you received or the job you have is not what you want. Therapy can help you figure out your next steps and change the path you have been on. I have experience working with both men and women of diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma. I have a great deal of passion for working with people who want to boost their self-esteem. I have a great deal of knowledge on how to help resolve intimacy issues in relationships and also with one’s self. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression. I have a strong conviction to help serve the LGBTQ+ community as well as experience and resources.
Hello, my practice is telehealth-based, so I have many options for seeing people from multiple states where I am licensed. They include FL, MI, and TX. I see only adults and have seen people for many years concerning relationships with friends, partners, and families due to conflict and spiritual/ cultural differences. I have also walked with clients through major life transitions from work, and academics, to the college experience.
Whether this is your first time in counseling or you are looking to build on previous work, finding a therapist that is the right fit is vital. I am passionate about supporting clients by creating a safe, empathetic, judgment-free and welcoming space for them to process difficult experiences, manage life transitions and gain insight. While I have been a counselor for about 3 years, I have been working with trauma survivors and building on that knowledge for almost 9 years. My foundation as a therapist was built on advocacy work for survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual harassment and stalking. Additionally, I have worked on several college campuses with students as they manage life transitions and stressors that come with this. Lastly, I love working with young adults in processing identity concerns, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and more. As a therapist I want to acknowledge the intersection of identities and life experiences that impact one’s identity. With this, I strive to be person-centered working collaboratively with the client to set their own mental health goals. Due to my knowledge and interest in trauma work I received training in EMDR and use that as a modality frequently. I hope to see you in therapy and look forward to hearing how I can support you in navigating life stressors and overall improving your mental health and wellbeing.
In addition to the insurance outlined in the profile, please note that I accept most major medicaid products in the mid Michigan region. I also accept PHP and SPHN.

Life changes and personal growth are inevitable, and sometimes can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. ESPECIALLY attending college, being on our own for the first time, and trying to figure out this “”adulting” thing. A lack of change or growth can cause us to feel unhappy with ourselves. Whether you are struggling with adapting to changes in life or are feeling stuck, or feel pressure to trying to figure out your future, I’d love to help you! My approach is to meet you wherever you are (emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or physically) and help you set goals (at your pace) that you want to accomplish in therapy. My goal is to offer you a laid-back, sometimes fun, safe place for you to process your challenges, to feel supported, and to build confidence in your ability to initiate that desired change; or face those scary, inevitable changes. I received my Master of Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My experience has been focused on working with children, adolescents, and families in residential, school and home-based, and inpatient mental health treatment settings. I have a background in working with mild to severe mental health issues including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation/self-harm, perinatal/postpartum issues, bipolar and related mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, and co-occurring disorders. Therapeutic approaches I commonly utilize are Motivational Interviewing, Brief-Solution, Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills, and Mindfulness Practices.
Hi, I’m Jon — a therapist based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. College can be a complicated transition; it’s often a time when we get to know ourselves more deeply. Sometimes this process uncovers issues that could use more attention such as anxiety, addiction, or depression. I’m here to be help in whatever way I can. I offer a 30 minute video consultation for free. You can meet me, ask questions, and we can decide whether it’s a good fit. I look forward to meeting you! Feel free to reach out with questions.
My approach blends evidence-based practices with genuine empathy to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for your journey. I specialize in adolescent youths and young adults trying to find their way whether it’s managing stress, navigating through life, or overcoming obstacles. As a neurodivergent individual myself, I can help give tools, coping skills, and validate your experiences to help relieve some stress from your diagnoses so you can live a fuller life!

How many times have those close to you tried to tell you what you should do? Do you feel like no one is really listening to your story? I strive to provide a space to be heard without being forced to conform to someone else's individual biases. You are the expert of your life: you live it. I'm an expert on process, and I want to help you find what change looks like in your life. I love the power of story, and your story is unique and rich. I tend not to subscribe to just one theoretical orientation simply because there is no "one size fits all" method of counseling. Rather, I draw from many different theories to devise a plan that will be the most helpful for you. My goal is to create the safest space possible: the one place where you'll never feel judged or criticized. Also, I am an Army vet, so I have a special place in my heart for vets and their families. I offer a discount for vets and their immediate families.
