Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
What if you could learn to view difficult emotions as an opportunity for growth instead of a weakness? It’s true that suffering is universal, but with the right perspective you can learn to see that as a gift; a source of energy you can use to propel you towards your life’s goals and eventual contentment. Many seek to find happiness by changing their circumstances, but I hope to show you that accepting your current circumstances is the key to permanent change. My calling is to help you find peace and contentment, specializing in depression and anxiety, addiction, grief, existential concerns and parenting skills. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my clinical practice, focusing primarily on being conscious of the thoughts that drive our behavior and accepting life’s circumstances. I will work at your pace, whether you are looking for shorter solution-focused therapy or serving as a longer-term support. I've had a tough time as a shy child in a military family, particularly because my circumstances were always changing around me. After years of managing social anxiety and depression, I learned to focus on my internal landscape instead of trying to control the world around me. I would love to share these skills with you to use on your own personal journey.
At Miracle Place Counseling, we believe healing is possible — even when it doesn't feel that way right now. Through telehealth, we offer a compassionate, safe space for those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, CPTSD, Borderline Personality disorder and dissociative disorders. Using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic approaches, we help your nervous system move out of survival mode and guide you toward feeling grounded, seen, and heard. You don't have to keep doing this alone. We would be honored to walk with you.
Hey! I am so glad you are here! My name is Katie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I received my Bachelor's degree in Communications from Hope College and my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cornerstone University. I am passionate about working with college students and young adults (and adults of all ages and walks of life!). Whether you are feeling stuck deciding on what is next, what path to choose for your career or life, or just need a listening ear, I am here to create a space where you can show up as you are and leave feeling encouraged and heard. College and those post years are really tough, and full disclosure where some of the most messy and challenging years of my life. Therapy was so important to me during that time, and I hope to offer you the support you deserve to navigate your experience. When we meet, you can expect a very personable experience focused on you and your goals, some humor and references to various shows/songs/movies or the latest trend I am trying to understand to help remind you that you are not alone, and a space where nothing is ever too much, you will never be judged, and you can truly be authentically yourself.
I work with a wide range of clients that have had ongoing struggles with depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I worked at a health clinic for a few years focusing on clients with postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD. I offer a warm and inviting environment where you can share your struggles and traumas. My goal is to help make connections on why you may behave the way you do and then focus on helping you with change. In life we are always going through changes and transitions and everyone deserves to have a space to learn, grow, and heal.

I look forward to helping you define the future that best suits you. Kind Regards, Jeff
My hope is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcome. College is a time of big changes, and it’s normal to feel stressed, anxious, or unsure about how to handle everything. I offer a space where you can talk openly about what’s going on, whether it’s academic pressure, relationships, or figuring out your next steps. I use a variety of approaches based on your needs, with a focus on Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work, and EMDR. I utilize these methods because they support the whole mind-body connection, allowing history that has been stored in the nervous system to be released. Together we can help make sense of the pieces of your life that have become overwhelming and give you tools to handle life with more confidence.

Dr. Kennedy-Ball graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology in 2014. Though her academic focus was primarily on treatment for children and adolescents, her professional experiences have allotted her the opportunities to work with vast populations (children, adolescents, teens, adults, and geriatrics) suffering from various disorders (Mood Disorders, Psychotic Disorders, Neurocognitive Disorders, etc.). She has practiced in several settings including, outpatient, inpatient, community mental health, and residential treatment utilizing individual, family, and group therapy modalities. As a clinician, she focuses on collaborative and client centered treatment, as it allows for improvement in all facets of a client’s quality of life. Further, it fosters her ability to work holistically towards a client’s personal and family goals in unique and effective ways, as there is greater opportunity for therapeutic rapport and sense of personal control over challenges. She utilizes a cognitive behavioral approach, though has become more attune to hybrid interventions that best suit individual needs.

Life can be messy, it can catch us off guard. We can find ourselves treading water and the things that used to keep us afloat aren’t working quite so well. Old wounds can dull our spark. If we’re human, we’ve all been there. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety and depression, grief due to a death or those anticipating a loss, a life threatening medical diagnosis, anaphylactic food allergies and accompanying stressors, trauma, and parents with perinatal mood disorders. I also support families navigating LGBTQIA issues. I have specialized training in play therapy, trauma interventions, bereavement, and perinatal mood disorders. I have a commitment to an open and affirming practice for all. My approach is to partner with clients to form a safe and supportive relationship to explore more flexible ways of being in relationship with yourself and the world. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is one of the strongest predictors of the effectiveness of your therapy experience. I offer complimentary phone consultations to assist in determining if we are a good match.

Hello! Therapy is a process of self discovery. The decision to seek therapy is a sign of strength and an indication that you are willing to invest in yourself! The clients with which I work best share the willingness to commit to the process of therapy and do the hard work. My goal for each session is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where together we can explore and discover insights about your life, the root causes of stumbling blocks, and the means to help you heal, change, and grow. Whether you have lifelong problems or perhaps more current issues you are dealing with, I believe there is always a path available for change. Each person is the best expert of their own lives and brings a unique set of strengths that often go untapped. With the proper identification of the problem, uncovering the root of destructive patterns of behavior & thought, plus insight and education, clients get “unstuck” and are able to move forward in their lives.
