When it comes to navigating major life transitions or simply managing the stress of daily living, many of us can use help at some point or another. When searching for a therapist, Ann Arbor, MI can offer a greater range of choice than many surrounding rural or suburban areas, but even in a city it may not be so easy to find the right counseling services for you. 

One of the reasons for this is that even in traditional talk therapy there can be a lot of specialization. Psychology offers a variety of evidence-based approaches that can be more or less effective depending on the mental health concerns and personality of the individual. What you need may not necessarily be accessible or available nearby. 

That’s where online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp can come in. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health professionals, who specialize in a number of therapies including cognitive behavior therapy, identity counseling psychology, family systems therapy, commitment therapy, and more. By filling out an online questionnaire, BetterHelp will match you with a therapist that meets your personal needs, whether you’re looking for help managing eating disorders, or guidance for navigating low self-esteem. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for busy parents, professionals, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

If you are in the Ann Arbor area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, whether to manage anxiety disorders or any other mood disorders, be a support alongside medication management, or to help heal relationships, there is no better time to start. Reach out to BetterHelp to get started on your mental wellness journey.

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning to sail my ship.” ~Louisa May Alcott Once you understand yourself better, you begin to navigate your world with confidence. Your most challenging periods in life can lead to tremendous growth. I value relationships that reflect warmth, honesty, compassion, and humor. As your therapist, I intend to bring these qualities to each of our sessions. I know, from personal experience, that giving voice to your fears and doubts in a supportive environment can be life-changing. This very human experience can remind us of our ability for extraordinary things and our capacity for kindness. Once we find more patience and empathy for ourselves, we can give those things more freely to others. It’s amazing how different the world looks when we feel differently about ourselves. Let’s discover solutions that work for you. I look forward to working you.
