Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Stress and anxiety create a different impact on everyone and taking steps to cope can, at times, be difficult on your own. People who are motivated to begin mental health treatment are some of the strongest people out there, even when it can feel overwhelming and scary to take that step. I have always felt a pull to help others in understanding your feelings and behaviors and in how to navigate your world in stressful situations. I work primarily with clients who are struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, grief/loss, and depression and can’t wait to begin doing some amazing, meaningful work with you! I have a desire to help others feel heard and my biggest goal is to lift people up who are struggling. I love to see the progress you can make with your goals and mental well-being and I want to be the person that you can count on for support! I intend to do this by listening, working with you, & meeting you where you’re at, as opposed to only giving advice. I’m so happy you’re deciding to take this step in beginning your mental health journey. Starting therapy can be an overwhelming and exciting experience, and I hope that we can work together towards any goals you may have.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or struggling with persistent intrusive thoughts that keep you from staying present? Are you ready to make meaningful changes and just need the right support to improve your quality of life? I'm Sumeyah Chaudhry, a specialist in Anxiety and Obsessive-Complusive Disorder (OCD), working with adolescents and adults 14 and older. I especially enjoy supporting high school students, college students, and young professionals on their journey toward healing. I work primarily with teens and adults experiencing OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, specific phobias, and more. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I'm one of the limited clinicians in the Ann Arbor area with specialized training in this mode of therapy. Taking the first step can feel scary, but you are not alone—I’m here to listen and support you. Together, we can build practical tools and skills to help you create a more fulfilling life. If you're considering therapy and want a compassionate, nonjudgmental space, I invite you to reach out. You can also request a complimentary 15 min phone consultation.

You feel exhausted from running in circles. You try so hard, but you still can’t shake the feeling. You over-schedule, overcommit, and always keep yourself busy. You listen to podcasts about stress and time management, but still have a hard time relaxing and having fun because your brain won’t shut off. You haven’t had a good night’s sleep in ages, and you never feel rested. Maybe you … • Can’t stop thinking about an incident or situation—to the point where it’s hard to focus when usually you are on top of everything. • Watch yourself overreact to people and situations, but you don’t know how to stop it. • Zone out and feel like you’re watching yourself from afar at a meeting or social event. Or maybe you lose hours at a time binging Netflix or getting lost in games or social media on your phone. • Spend a lot of time worry about other people’s behavior, motivation, and what they might be thinking about you. Say “yes” even when you don’t want to. • Know that you have so much more potential, but end up feeling exhausted and can’t shake the feeling that no matter what you do, you’ll never be “good enough. I’m here to support you with empathy, compassion and expertise. I specialize in supporting busy professionals, healthcare workers, and helpers of all kinds who have it within them to work through their pain and heal their wounds but need some help getting there. I’m a certified EMDR therapist who has over 20 years experience as a clinical social worker. My advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (a somatic approach), and Internal Family Systems (“parts work”) means I have the expertise you need and deserve. I also have a background in improv and theater, so we may even find ourselves having fun along the way! Therapy doesn’t need to be all tears. My clients describe me as warm, collaborative, supportive, creative and nonjudgmental. Through my work with clients, I have learned that “words are not enough” and that therapy modalities that address suffering from a “bottom up” perspective have long-lasting, permanent results. Therapy approaches that focus primarily on coping skills and talk therapy to gain insight can sometimes leave you feeling frustrated, because no matter how much you try to talk and think your way into feeling better, it can only take you so far. You may intellectually understand your issues, but you still feel like there’s a disconnect between head and heart. My clients are looking for deeper change. My approach integrates EMDR with attachment-focused therapies such as IFS (Internal Family Systems) and body-focused psychotherapies such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, along with talk therapy, so that every step we take together is tailored to healing that includes both mind and body and helps you get to the root of issues so can start to feel like yourself again. My goal is to empower you in every step of the process. Together, we’ll identify the difficult experiences that are causing you to feel stuck and we’ll create a roadmap so that you’ll know how to achieve your goals. We’ll focus on your strengths and build on your resources with practical mind-body tools that really work for you. We’ll work on transforming old wounds that are causing distress so they no longer keep you stuck in old patterns and unhelpful beliefs. By the end of our time together, you will know that even when life gets tough—which it inevitably will!—you will meet future challenges with self-compassion and resilience.

You’re tired of: - Overthinking - Feeling overwhelmed - A heightened sense of worry - Your mental energy being depleted - Thinking about the worst case scenario - Being critical of yourself - All-or-nothing thinking - Feeling like an imposter - Worrying about disappointing others - Avoiding things that make you anxious - Comparing yourself to others - Unsubstantiated fear - Procrastinating - Being unable to set boundaries - Having difficulty identifying or communicating what you need - Feeling like you “should” be doing certain things, even if you don’t want to - Neglecting self-care You have a simmering undercurrent of anxiety, and your entire life feels like a list of obligations. You feel weighed down, overwhelmed, and stressed. You’re pathologically helpful and a self-proclaimed people pleaser, so you find yourself gritting your teeth to make it through the day……but you paste a smile on your face and fake it. From the outside you’re successful, high-achieving, respected, and known for going above and beyond, but internally, you know your truth. You’re overly self-critical, procrastinate often, script conversations in your head, and worry about everyone else’s expectations of you. What if you could feel confident saying no to things that don’t serve you? What if you could learn how to put yourself first without feeling selfish? What if you could live a more balanced, intentional, and fulfilling life? Let me help you get clarity on what you’re feeling, why, and how to fix it. We all have “blind spots” that hold us back in some way, and it takes an outside perspective to help identify these. Even if you think… - you’ll let others down - you’re not as smart or capable as your colleagues - you need to have a clear plan - mediocrity is unacceptable - you have to maintain this facade in order to be successful I will show you how to shift your thoughts and behavior in ways that will pave a clear path to joy and confidence. There is no greater investment in life than discovering your full potential, and that comes through insight and self-awareness.

Hello! I'm MaryAnn. I work with adults (18+) experiencing mood, stressor, and/or trauma related challenges. Many of my clients seek therapy to explore their identities & patterns, navigate relationship dynamics, and reprocess disturbing memories. Whatever your reason, therapy is a brave space to get to know your parts and ultimately connect with your inherent wholeness. As a mom, daughter, sister, spouse, & friend, I have navigated - and am navigating - many of these stages myself. My professional roles have ranged from inpatient psychiatry to community settings. I remain committed to tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual I work with. By integrating EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapies, I establish a therapy space that is curious, compassionate, and evidence-based. I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they cultivate insight & empowerment in their lives. Together, we can design a vision for a fulfilling present and future. I would love to hear from you to see if we are a good fit!

Being a therapist means being open, non-judgmental, supportive, informative, and humble. I realize that each individual is an expert in their own life, and I encourage individuals to develop their own goals based on their individualized needs. I specialize in working with individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, individuals struggling with a sense of secure attachment within relationships, and individuals with a history of self-harm and/or suicidal ideation. I also specialize in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, and relationship/family conflict. Therapy is most effective when individuals actively engage in their treatment, and I hope to be able to provide tools and coping mechanisms to help clients reach their goals.
