Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Michigan and New York and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) to practice worldwide. My work centers on processing and integrating our experiences and exploring their influence on our identities and our relationships with ourselves. I’m dedicated to supporting you in connecting with your inner world, understanding your emotions and experiences, exploring practices for embodied living, and rediscovering joy and play. My holistic approach considers the intersections of embodied living practices and liberation-centered care. I'm dedicated to providing inclusive and equitable services that honor our humanity, imagination, and possibility. I have experience working with individuals of diverse genders, neurotypes, relationships, and cultural backgrounds in various settings, including private practice, community colleges and universities, and nonprofit organizations.
Matthew serves as a companion to those who desire to experience healing, growth, and transformation in their pursuit of the full human experience. He works to offer a space of mutual, compassionate, and empathetic listening to the story your life is telling. Matthew believes that the opportunity to work with you is a sacred privilege, and is committed to discovering a shared process in therapy that honors who you are, your background, and your future path. Practicing therapy with Matthew may include focusing on developing tools and practices to help manage emotions and thoughts, support in healing from past experiences, assistance developing healthier behavioral patterns, and/or establishing new values. However, there is not one therapeutic approach that fits all, which is why he works closely with you to identify your own needs and goals. Matthew is experienced primarily in individual work with adolescents and adults from all backgrounds and genders, in areas related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, identity exploration, finding belonging, discovering purpose, grief/loss, and religious and spiritual questions [and related trauma]. Matthew graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2024. He is also a graduate of Kuyper College [BS], Cornerstone Theological Seminary [MA], and the Living School for Action and Contemplation. His experience living internationally and attending two universities in multi-cultural and inter-religious environments has deeply shaped how he engages individuals from a diversity of circumstances and backgrounds. Matthew’s professional and academic emphasis on restorative justice practices, as well as the unique cognitive, developmental, and mental health needs of people of all ages has deepened his ability to foster effective therapeutic environments and meaningful relationships with clients. Matthew believes that our growth as people cannot be manufactured or controlled, and is therefore something we can only cooperate with and bear witness to. For many, the journey and practice of our work together becomes an outcome in itself. While Matthew is a generalist when it comes to theoretical orientation, he naturally integrates person-centered, narrative, existential, humanist, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment approaches.

Feeling truly heard and understood can be a powerful part of the healing process. Therapy offers a space to explore your emotions and experiences with confidence, and that starts with a strong therapeutic relationship.

I tailor evidence-based treatments to fit your unique needs. Helping you make sense of what you are going through, grow in ways that feel meaningful, and develop practical skills that work in your everyday life. I work with adults and teens (16+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, stress, and self-esteem challenges. I believe that together we can achieve more than we can alone. Whether you’re looking for healing, growth, or just a space to sort through your thoughts and feelings, therapy can be a valuable step. I’m here to help you make progress at your own pace. I look forward to working with you.
Life can be difficult. With the right tools and some effort, it does not have to be. My hope is to help you with your goals. Whether that is to feel better (less depressed, anxious or angry), improve your relationships (with a spouse, parent, child, etc.), change your behaviors (substance use, self harm, avoidance), or anything else that is important to you, I'd love the opportunity to work with you. I enjoy working with a many different presenting problems. My passions include working with teens/adults, men's issues (especially navigating work and/or family life), post-partum Dads, athletes and substance use/co-occurring disorders. Therapy isn't one-size fits all. I utilize many forms of therapy depending on what my client may need. These typically include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing. Each client is unique and I find it important to adjust treatment strategies to the needs of each client. Should you allow me to be a help to you, you can always expect empathy and compassion. But you can also expect me to be direct, push you to challenge your perspective, and inject a bit of humor into the therapy process. I welcome you to reach out if you think I could be the right fit for you.

Philip's approach to therapy for individuals is being a guide while recognizing the individual as the driver and creator of their success and change. I believe having an unconditional, trusting, supportive, and strength-focused relationship between you and I is the foundation of counseling and fosters the ability to recognize you can and will succeed with your personal goals. I tend to focus on how one’s emotions and thoughts affect how we make sense of the world around us. I use the present moment and mindful awareness as tools to help individuals understand their thoughts and feelings as they are, without judgment, in order to produce personalized strategies to overcome issues preventing you from living a full life. Overall, I strive to provide a nurturing and comfortable space to help all who visit me, so we can effectively process struggles, find acceptance, and develop an understanding that you are capable of making positive changes in your life.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you've been carrying the weight of anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity questions, or overwhelming emotions for a long time. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I work with young adults who are ready to better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and create lasting change. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, personality concerns, life transitions, or questions surrounding identity, therapy can provide both practical tools and a space to process what you've been through. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each person. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while recognizing that every person's experiences and goals are unique.
