Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I've learned over my years in practice that every person carries a deep inner resilience and an ability to heal. Sometimes, they just need a little support in uncovering it. My role is to walk alongside you, offering a space that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in trust. I specialize in trauma therapy, as well as having experience supporting clients through a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I work with folks from all walks of life and deeply value the richness that diversity brings. All identities and backgrounds are welcome and affirmed here. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, mindfulness oriented, and grounded in social and systemic awareness. I use a variety of evidenced based modalities, including EMDR, DBT, and ACT to support my clients in reaching their desired goals, while recognizing that a trusting, safe relationship between client and therapist is at the core of success. The process of choosing a therapist can be daunting and feel vulnerable. I offer brief consultation calls to help answer questions and determine if you would like to work together. If you feel I would be a good fit to walk alongside you in this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Deciding to try therapy for the first time or restarting with a new therapist can be challenging and intimidating. We will go at your pace and comfort level especially at the beginning of the counseling relationship. To feel comfortable sharing personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences even to a licensed therapist can take time. We want to provide that space to build trust in order to see real change and growth in your life.

I am a Behavioral Health Consultant with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, providing supportive, client-centered care to adolescents, young adults and adults. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building practical skills for everyday life. I have experience working in school-based, private practice settings, supporting students and families with concerns such as anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, academic pressure, and life transitions. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when challenges begin to impact daily functioning, and I work collaboratively with clients to help them regain a sense of control and stability. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and strengths-based. I incorporate evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychoeducation, and skill-building, while also recognizing the importance of each client's unique background and goals. I aim to help clients not only manage immediate concerns but also develop long-term coping strategies and resilience. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need someone to talk to, l am here to support you in moving forward at your own pace.

Hi, I'm Tarah Hipple-Thomas. I offer individual therapy for adults navigating the long-term effects of trauma. I know how deeply trauma can shape the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self, and I also know that healing is possible, even after years of surviving in silence. My clients are often thoughtful, resilient people who have tried for years to “just move on” or “push through” their pain. Many are high functioning on the outside, but inside feel stuck, exhausted, overwhelmed with emotions or thoughts, or disconnected. Some experience flashbacks or nightmares, while others carry a vague sense that something isn’t right. It’s common for my clients to describe feeling overwhelmed with sudden emotion, or feeling "flat", like they're not feeling at all. Many of my clients live with complex PTSD, dissociative symptoms, or formal dissociative disorders, including DID. I welcome all parts to therapy (yes, even the ones that are unsure, skeptical, or afraid). My goal is to create a space where every part of your system can feel seen and supported. Therapy with me is relational and collaborative. I’ll be by your side as you build trust in yourself, learn new ways to cope, and begin to reconnect with parts that you may have lost touch with along the way. Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting or pretending the past didn’t happen. It means reclaiming your life in the present, moment by moment, with compassion, clarity, and courage. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk with you on your healing journey. Visit my website to read more about my approach and to contact me for a free 15 minute consult to see if I'm the right fit for your next steps on your journey.

Whether you are seeking help with challenging life circumstances or desiring personal growth and development, our one-on-one sessions with a licensed clinician offer the valuable support to help you thrive. We intentionally limit the number of clients each therapist works with, to provide you exemplary care and attention. Our therapists practice 100% on Telehealth and we provide you with a HIPAA compliant video link for your sessions.

Everyone lives a diverse, intersectional existence with idiosyncratic experience. Acknowledging this means relating to others with inclusivity, openness, and humility. This philosophy not only humanizes students, many of whom identify as marginalized community members (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQ+, accessibility needs, low-SES), but also honors their authenticity. Thus, I practice from an existential-humanistic-relational lens so I can naturally tailor therapy with evidence-based techniques (e.g., CBT, SFT, ACT) and psychological theories (e.g., identity, attachment, multicultural) necessary for understanding students’ intersectionality. I typically work with students experiencing elevated anxiety and depression, while specializing in identity development, interpersonal dynamics (e.g., relating to others), relational trauma, and existential concerns (e.g., authenticity, choice, meaning). Early sessions help form a therapeutic alliance, revealing underlying issues that manifest as psychological distress (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma). From there, we identify coping skills, foster hope, and alleviate symptoms as you gain insight-oriented feedback. We also collaborate to explore, discover, and empower actions for you to become the most authentic version of self. The modern world is daunting, with a pace and pivot difficult to navigate. The rapid spin of sudden chaos. Steady drift of aimless wander. Dead still of eternal stagnation. As a serving spirit, I provide a healthy space for students to be and become that who they are and will be. Here, all are welcome. Here… all are an expression of hope and self-empowerment.

Counseling is a personal and unique process for each person. I facilitate each client’s unique process, and walk alongside the client, shoring up their strengths and making use of our relationship to bring about positive change. The therapeutic process can be challenging at times, and I work with the client to fully experience the joys and sorrows that are part of life, striving to feel a wide range of emotions. I enjoy working with people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Starting up the counseling process can feel unknown and scary, and I’ll honor the vulnerability you show in reaching out.

Currently accepting new clients with Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday all day availability! In my therapy practice, I offer a compassionate and warm approach that doesn't feel like you are talking to someone who has it all together. As someone who has been there too, I offer you an authentic approach to learning skills that can help bring you peace and understanding towards yourself. Let me help you learn how to be kinder to yourself and move towards curiosity and understanding of your specific unique needs and how to communicate those needs in your relationships. Sometimes our lives can feel like we are on a roller coaster full of highs and lows. Often when we feel stuck in the chaos, we turn to things that relieve comfort temporarily but end up hurting us in the long run. If you are ready to understand why it is you do the things you do and how you can relieve your pain without hurting yourself, I can help. Living with mental health symptoms is a battle that not everyone understands. I encourage you to reach out if you are desiring someone who will walk alongside you as you discover who you are in a safe setting. I look forward to watching you transform into who you've always dreamed of becoming.
