Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

Accepting New Clients! A large part of therapy includes the relationship and rapport between a client and their therapist. I understand the importance of having an affirming therapist and I strive to be that therapist. I am passionate about working with a variety of diverse populations, with the majority including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent adolescents and young adults. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, and interpersonal relationship struggles.

As we encounter new life stages, we often come face to face with our deepest doubts and fears. Finding the courage to work through these to achieve lasting personal growth requires a safe and structured space for telling our stories and unraveling the knots that cause us pain. As a therapist with twenty years of experience, my approach to providing such a space is client-focused, holistic, and collaborative. I specialize in helping my clients navigate academic challenges, intimate relationships, family dynamics, cultural integration, and life transitions.

As a clinician with over 25 years of experience, my first goal is to understand you, your circumstances, and where you have come from to help you achieve your goals and improve your well-being.

My areas of specialty practice include working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, addiction, grief and loss, and challenges related to past hurts, life transitions, and relationship and family problems.

You are deserving of a life you enjoy living and I am here to help you get back to your best, authentic self.

My name is Mitchell Andries , I have held a long passion for mental health counseling since my younger days, Naturally, I am inclined at helping people and I sympathize with those who are experiencing life challenges.

My clinical approach is integrative, although my interventions often focus on acceptance and self-compassion while empowering my clients to make the changes they would like to see in their lives.

In keeping with that goal, I take great care to ensure that therapy is affirming of all aspects of diversity and identity.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou. This quote had become my life motto, as it is so true, the way you have been made to feel by another is what can make or break any person. Adults who have experienced trauma, substance abuse, mental heath, emotional exhaustion, and life’s various curveballs deserve to be heard and treated in an environment that is understanding, empathetic, safe, stable, supportive, and non judgmental to begin their journey to heal.

Everyone deserves to have a good day and a better tomorrow. I realize that taking on a personal change out of desire or necessity is often harder than it sounds. I work with all ages, life-stages, and conditions. People arrive with their bag of “stuff”: hopes, disappointments, wounds, trauma, diagnoses, and connections. I start where you are and work with you to create a path to a place of well-being.

The counseling process is a journey to gain awareness, to restore sufficient inner strengths, and to heal the pains, enabling one to make desired changes for life.

I believe in meeting you where you are at in life and developing a plan that is tailored to meet your specific needs. Every individual is unique and requires a different approach to reach their goals. It is my opinion that the best way to begin therapy is through empathy and a true understanding of someone's story in order to build a powerful therapeutic alliance, create trust and develop rapport. My approach as a therapist tends to be somewhat non traditional, informal and laid back. You are the expert of your life. My role is to listen and understand in order to help you develop confidence and skills to conquer life's challenges.

Are there things in your life you know you can work on but you’re not sure where to begin? Uncovering the obstacles keeping us from connecting to our true selves can seem scary and daunting. There are many competing priorities in our lives that can feel overwhelming and can make it difficult to know where to start. Working with a therapist can help. With a focus on chronic pain/serious illness, mood disorders and grief/end-of-life concerns, we can work together to develop a way through the chaos so you can feel more like yourself and get you closer to the person you know yourself to be.
