Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI
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.

Great to Meet You, I am licensed in Michigan and the U.S. Virgin Islands with over 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in assisting clients in dealing with mood management related to adjustments and transitions in everyday life. I think it's important to approach each situation from an integrated healthcare approach which means looking at all aspects of the individual's situation on an Emotional, Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual basis. I feel it's crucial to have a safe space to share without feeling judged or needy. Mental health support needs to be accessible, inclusive, and intersectional, especially when addressing queer-specific issues like coming out, internalized shame, and gender dysphoria. I am looking forward to talking with you and sharing more about how I can assist with your present concerns.
