Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
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.
Hi! I’m Aubrey, and I’m glad you’re here. As a clinician, I’m passionate about supporting students through the challenges that come with transitioning to college and navigating life’s many turning points. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity development, family dynamics, or performance-related stress, you’re not alone! I take a collaborative and direct approach to therapy, drawing from evidence based modalities like ACT, CBT, interpersonal therapy, and family systems work. My goal is to create a supportive space where we can work together to help you connect with your strengths, build self understanding, and move toward the version of yourself you want to be. I believe in honoring your unique lived experiences and helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered every step of the way!
I have over 10 years experience working with individuals, couples and groups of all age groups. My areas of specialization are trauma related disorders, personality disorders and psychosis. I am trained in multiple modalities and take a eclectic Multi-tool approach to individualize the treatment offered to the client.
I work with young women and LGBTQ+ folks with anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing tendencies. You set goals for yourself that aren’t reachable, and you feel like you’re failing, though from the outside it may look like you have it together. You know that the patterns in your life aren’t working, yet it’s hard to identify what to change and make those changes on your own. It’s a big step to even recognize that you might benefit from therapy. Therapy can help you make those changes so that you can relate differently to yourself, your loved ones, and the stress & loss in your life. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Together, we can untangle old narratives, identify the things that aren’t working in your life, and develop new coping methods that work for you. Therapy depends on us developing a safe relationship from which we can explore your feelings and concerns. In our therapy sessions, you can expect compassion as well as a focus on practical skills on how to relate differently to the stress and loss in your life. I prioritize developing a safe relationship between the two of us in therapy, from which we discuss your relationships with yourself and with others. My practice is antiracist, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and HAES informed. I have immediate openings for teletherapy and in-person therapy. In addition to my regular hours (8am-5pm), I can offer evening appointments upon request. You can schedule a free 15-minute video consultation at my website, sierralarsontherapy.com.
We exist to help you identify and reach your mental health goals! We have extensive experience working through trauma, grief, and loss. If you've been looking for a safe space to vent and process your feelings, you found it! We're honored to be of service to you. Contact us today to get started!
Navigating the path to mental well-being may seem overwhelming, and I acknowledge the courage it takes to embark on the journey of therapy. My goal is to create a welcoming and secure environment for clients, recognizing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Utilizing a person-centered approach, I tailor sessions to your unique life situation, employing warmth and empathy to foster a safe therapeutic space where opening up becomes more accessible. My commitment is to provide excellent care within an inclusive setting for all communities. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan and (LCSW) in Indiana, I bring a wealth of experience in assisting individuals facing diverse challenges. From anxiety and depression to coping strategies, addiction, and women's specific concerns, my professional background is dedicated to helping you navigate these issues. Let's work together to explore the motivations behind your decision to pursue therapy and strive for improvements in your overall quality of life. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on building a future where you can thrive.
It's not always easy to know where to start when life feels like it's moving too fast or standing still. You may find yourself at a fork in the road, seeking positive changes and wondering if therapy can be the tool to get you there. As a dedicated and caring therapist, my goal is to provide you with the support and guidance you need on your journey towards growth and fulfillment. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly express yourself, be heard, and feel understood. I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy, where your own needs and goals are at the forefront of our work together. Through various therapeutic approaches, I will work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your specific concerns, whether it's anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, or stress management. I will actively listen, provide empathy, and offer practical tools and techniques to help you navigate and cope through challenges. I strive to make counseling services accessible by offering both in-person and virtual appointments. To ensure that I am the right fit for you, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. I'm here to support you in finding your path towards growth, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and personal development.
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.

Accepting new clients! Life throws some real shit at us, and each of us deals with this in different ways. I am quite sure you have been judged by people who just don't get it. Or, maybe you're a person who doesn't show you are having struggles and you hide them. Either way, we all handle our shit differently, but I am here to help you. I have only one way in life, and that is authenticity with some added humor, OH, and some swear words here and there (it's my love language). If you have read this far, I might be your gal! Shoot me an email. I specialize in anxiety, and if you are here, you definitely can use some relief!
Do you find yourself frequently overwhelmed by negative emotions or trapped in an ever-repeating cycle? You are not alone. Thoreau said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." It does not have to stay this way. There is hope. Many times, the first step to changing your life is to say things out loud to someone you trust. I am committed to creating a safe place for you to be real with no fear of judgment. It would be my honor to come alongside you as we work through the things that have kept you stuck for too long. I hold a Master of Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and a Master of Theological Studies from Urshan Graduate School of Theology. My experience in private practice has equipped me with knowledge and has also strengthened my hope in evidence-based counseling processes. My education also uniquely positions me to offer Biblical/Christian counseling if requested. Please reach out if you are struggling. I want to assure you that you MATTER, and your mental health is worth investing in!
I work with variety of clients, but most of my clients come to me for help with relationship issues -- significant other, friend, family and work relationships. College students often come to me with issues related to roommates, gaining independence from parents, anxiety related to overwhelming school work, career choices and figuring out who they are. College years can be an amazing time of growth and opportunity, but they can also be incredibly stressful. I love to help college students navigate and find their ways through the many twists and turns of college life.
