Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I have over 26 years of experience working as a licensed social work therapist and clinical supervisor. My area of expertise is the field of domestic and sexual violence -issues surrounding complex trauma, types of abuse, leaving vs. staying, safety, and healthy/unhealthy relationships. I also address self-esteem, boundary setting, empowerment, conflict resolution, stress/anxiety, depression, gender identity/dysphoria, family conflicts, grief and loss, anger, and coping with life changes. I work with individual adults (primarily women) and utilize a strengths-based, nonjudgmental, empowerment-focused, and client centered approach.

Are you feeling stuck, and unsure how to move forward? Whether it be one big event or many smaller things piling up over time, it can be hard trying to figure out where to start. Everyone could use some extra support from time to time, and it takes a lot of courage to take the first step and talking about the struggles in your life. My specialty is working with individuals in creating a supportive environment to process troubling areas and provide opportunities to improve communication skills and achieve your goals. I look forward to working alongside you as you work to achieve your goals! I provide individual counseling for adults to improve functioning and self-satisfaction. I believe counseling is a collaborative process where we work together to develop insight and tap into your strengths so you can overcome challenges and reach your goals. Whether it be school, work, or relationships, my goal is to provide support through a warm and non-judgmental space to help during these challenges. I work with individuals from all walks of life.

At Willow Birch Therapy, our mission is to foster healing and growth by recognizing that emotional struggles, like the branches of a tree, extend from the deeply rooted experiences and traumas hidden beneath the surface. We are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore and understand these roots, finding the strength and resilience they need to flourish.

My orientation is strength-based; I seek to create a working alliance of safety and trust. I am trained in a number of clinical methods, notably trauma-based treatment. I am non-judgmental, goal-oriented, child-centered, and I believe in the importance of making everyone I work with feel relaxed and comfortable. I work toward understanding the holistic nature of my clients, and help them understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As a clinical Social Worker, I have worked with children, teens, and young adults with behavior problems since 1978. For the last 20 years, I have worked in Community Mental Health settings with children, teens, families, adults. I have experience working with dual diagnosis, trauma, and a variety of other mental health presentations.

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.

Welcome! I’m so glad we’ve crossed paths. My name is Hayley, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I have my master's degree in social work (LLMSW) from Grand Valley State University, where I also received my bachelor's degree in social work (BSW). Because everyone’s journey is unique, I will meet you where you're at and walk alongside you to provide the support you seek and deserve. My therapeutic style is warm, validating, supportive, empowering, and person-centered. I truly believe that having a safe and validating space to share our truth is so healing. The approaches I may implement in practice are elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, humanistic/client-centered, and strengths based. I specialize in anxiety, stress management, life transitions, LGBTQIA+, women’s issues, individuals involved in the justice system, pet end of life planning, and pet grief/loss. When I’m out of the office I find joy in spending time with my 5 cats. They are all rescues with unique stories and goofy personalities. I also have two chinchillas, and a general love for rodents. I believe animals are so healing. I know mine have saved me and brought me peace in so many ways. I also find joy in listening to my vinyl collection, watercolor painting, and looking for rocks and fossils along the shores of Lake Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Thank you for being here! I look forward to creating a validating therapeutic space for you that is accepting, healing, and empowering.

I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients in their healing journeys and have found that, for many whose trust (in others and in themselves) has been shaken, finally feeling heard and understood serves as a powerful corrective experience. I believe that these experiences are crucial in facilitating personal growth and change. I recognize that all clients have unique strengths, and I build upon these to create a working alliance that is non-judgmental, empowerment-based, and client-focused. Many feel alienated not only in their struggles but in their pursuit of wellbeing, especially when they have not received a great deal of support in making the changes they desire. I am honored to provide such support and join clients on their paths toward healing. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in the treatment of trauma, complex PTSD, attachment, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in and often utilize trauma-focused interventions including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy (FFTT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I also frequently employ solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and emotional regulation strategies in my practice, depending on each client’s unique needs.

I specialize in compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals with anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, phobias, and related challenges. I'm passionate about helping college students to cope effectively with these challenges so that you can make the most of your college experience and feel like yourself again on campus.
