Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Life is a journey of ups and downs, and we are not given a manual on how to live a happy and fulfilling life. We learn and grow from our past experiences and sometimes we get stuck and continue to make the same decisions until we acknowledge them so we can move on. When we know better, we tend to do better. We are all worthwhile individuals that are capable of change with a little help, encouragement, and empowerment. If life is not going the way you want it to, today is another day to make new choices and begin a path in a new direction. Are you willing to invest in yourself and make the changes needed to live your best life? I have experience working with Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Mental Health Disorders, Addictions, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, ADHD, Trauma, Sex Offense, Survivors, and PTSD. I see clients of all ages. I have experience in individual, family, and group therapy. Therapeutic settings include Behavioral Health, CMH, Jail, Home Visits, Foster Care, and Prison. I strongly believe that life is what we make it. We are not all placed in the world with perfect families and childhoods. Sometimes we need to do our own personal work to leave behind the things that are not working for us anymore. If you need someone to help you work things out, find out what you want out of life, and support you in the process I can help.

Life can be overwhelming at times, but growth is possible—even in the midst of struggle. I approach therapy as a partnership built on trust, empathy, and curiosity. My hope is to help you gain clarity, deepen self-understanding, and build the tools you need to live more fully and authentically. Most clients I see are looking to heal from trauma, family dynamics, or attachment wounds that continue to influence their current relationships and sense of self. If you feel uncertain, stuck, or pressured to “have it together,” I provide a compassionate, empowering space to explore your story, heal, and grow into your authentic self.

College can be one of the most exciting and challenging times in your life. Between adjusting to new responsibilities, balancing academics, friendships, and possibly work, it’s normal to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future. You don’t have to go through it alone. My counseling practice is here to support you through whatever you may be facing—whether it’s stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, identity exploration, or simply navigating the ups and downs of college life. Together, we’ll create a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly, gain new tools, and build resilience to help you succeed both academically and personally. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow into the best version of yourself during your college journey.

It is a passion of mine to help individuals find peace and healing in their lives. I believe that everyone has the power within them to feel whole and happy. Sometimes, we just need some guidance. That's where I step in. My professional experience has taught me that most people already have the answers they seek, but sometimes need a little help to find them. I have experience in working with Trauma in many different forms. I can help you understand how different situations in your life can trigger trauma responses. I can help you understand that trauma comes in many forms and your body can respond in a variety of ways. You are the expert on you. I am here to help you find peace, self-awareness, personal growth, healing, and wellness. Education is a large part of counseling. The majority of growth and change occurs outside the counseling session, utilizing skills learned during our meetings. I am honored and proud to walk with you through a healing 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.

The term Legacy by definition means "something of value transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." As I reflect upon my life I noticed people who laid up for me a legacy, a promise and hope. The most influential people who have impacted my life and who established a legacy for me were my grandparents. They established a legacy, it was the legacy of care, compassion, and goodwill to mankind. I saw kindness, love, patience, meekness, faithfulness, and gentleness and these are the qualities I bring into the therapeutic relationships. I am a believer that everyone's birth was triggered in the earth-realm for a purpose. There is a purpose attached to your life. I believe in helping people reach that purpose. Through the work that I do I seek to restore hope, and establish a legacy of abundant life. My goal as a fully licensed psychologist is to create an environment where you feel safe to be transparent to address whatever issues concern you. I look forward to entering into an alliance with you so you may begin the healing process, create a legacy and fulfill your life purpose.

Everyone goes through difficult seasons of life, and at some point everyone needs a little help. Whether you are seeking peace from inner turmoil, struggling to let go of a lost love one, battling to keep your marriage alive, or exploring new growth, it's important to have a trained professional to help you along the way. I use traditional time-tested counseling approaches combined with the newest developments in the field to provide a personalized counseling experience. Every person is different, and that is why a tailored approach to counseling is helpful in dealing with your unique struggles. It is my job to create a therapeutic experience that can help you develop a life-story (or personal narrative) that you are proud to call your own.

My name is Julie Ohana. I have been practicing for 20+ years. It brings me great joy to be able to help people live their best lives. The clients that I typically work with are clients that are ready to make life changes. Clients who recognize their areas of struggle; depression, anxiety, relationship challenges or adjusting to a new experience or situation. My clients are looking for someone to be understanding and supportive but also someone who is able to push you to try new tools and practice the skills we talk about in our sessions together. My clients are open minded and willing to think outside the box.

I'm passionate about helping young adults (19+) learn more about themselves, heal from depression/anxiety, navigate stress, and reach their future personal and professional goals.

As a result, I affirm all genders, races, sexualities, and ethnicities. I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment so we can work through stress, growth, and improve your wellbeing and college/grad experience. My patients describe me as relatable, down to earth, and insightful. I look forward to connecting with you! Please check out my website for more information.

I am offering reduced rates to MSU students, I offer short term, long term and crisis counseling to MSU students. I can work with any students that are Michigan residents and I will do all sessions via teletherapy. The first step is always the most difficult. It takes courage to recognize the need for help, make the phone call and attend your first appointment. My initial goal of therapy is to establish trust with my patients. I accept them for who they are without judgement or bias, seek to understand them and move at their pace. I practice with a wide range of psychotherapy modalities and adjust my style and techniques based on your individual need. It is my goal to help you overcome your struggles and flourish. Therapy is not a quick fix, it takes time, effort and determination and I will be there supporting you during your journey. I provide treatment to those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, eating disorders/obesity, self-esteem struggles, stress, family issues, and spirituality. I help my patients become aware of past patterns of behavior, thought processes and emotions that will have a lasting impact on the changes they make in their lives. These changes can affect many area’s in life including increased confidence, self-esteem, positive interpersonal relationships, and lasting change. I am a fully licenced Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience.

Currently offering free sessions to those impacted by the recent events at MSU for the next three months. Services available include EMDR (including recent events and on going traumatic stress protocols) and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

Modern humans have existed on earth for about 200,000 years, while the modern office (and many other stressors in our lives) emerged less than 200 years ago. We really are in uncharted waters. With such a minuscule amount of human history lived under these conditions, it is no surprise that so many of us struggle to make our way. Everyone deserves to have someone in their corner. Everyone deserves to aspire, achieve, dream, thrive, and rest. The miracle of the therapeutic relationship is not just that relief is possible, but that we are active participants in deciding how that looks for ourselves. Together, we hold space to elevate your experience and to discover and endeavor towards your goals. Taking what resonates with you (and setting aside what doesn't), we can work within any of life's domains where we believe change is possible, and can go inward with acceptance and mindfulness to sit with the parts of our realities that are beyond our control. At the risk of sounding cliche - trying therapy is a brave act in a challenging world. Goodness of fit is a valid concern, and you deserve to find a therapist that will work for you! Get in touch today, and we can schedule a 15-minute phone call to explore working together.

I help college students who struggle with anxiety, disordered eating, body image, low self-esteem, people pleasing, and impostor syndrome. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being helpers with big hearts who pour into others, life feels hard. They are stuck in anxious thought cycles and exhausted. When they first reach out to me, they are tired of feeling anxious. They often say that they sometimes aren’t even sure if they really need therapy because they are getting by in life. Their professors, classmates, and friends all think that they are okay, but inside they feel overwhelmed, stressed, and self-conscious. They are often up at night replaying interactions with others, running through all their worries, and stressing about their to-do lists. Often, they feel a like a fraud; like they somehow managed to trick their way to where they’re at in life and worry that they aren’t capable of the dreams for their future. They wish they could open up to others easier and introduce themselves to new people. They often worry about what other people are thinking and care a lot about the feelings of those around them. They are really good at taking care of others yet struggle to put themselves first. ​Their anxiety gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t fully the kind of student they want to be. They feel like they are failing at juggling everything that’s on their plate. They feel drained in their relationships. Their confidence in their ability to take on new jobs and opportunities is tanking. Like my clients, you deserve to feel capable of accomplishing your future goals. You deserve to feel happy, self-assured, and worthy. You deserve to live each day knowing that you’re good enough. If you want to bloom into your most confident self, I’d love to help you get there. E-mail now and let's get started; your problems aren’t too small for therapy. I can help! Sarah@BloomMqt.com ​​ ​

I work with young adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, academic pressure, social difficulties, and family-related issues.
