Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
*I’m a therapist at Lotus Consulting, a group private practice located in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. I offer therapy via telehealth only. Welcome! My name is Zena and I specialize in working with anxiety, self-esteem, interpersonal concerns, and life challenges/adjustments. I have a MA in counseling and a BS in psychology and over five years working as a therapist in various outpatient settings. My approach to therapy is integrative; I work from a client-centered/humanistic lens incorporating elements of psychodynamic, existential, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused. Therapy is collaborative, there is no one size fits all approach to therapy, therefore I tailor my approach based on the needs of the individual. I believe the most important element of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, therefore I aim to be open-minded and authentic in the therapy room. My goal is to help clients gain insight by providing a safe, non-judgemental environment that fosters acceptance while also encouraging clients to work toward their goals (e.g. balancing acceptance with change). My ideal client is someone who is curious, open-minded, and willing to explore new prescriptives and how past experiences might be impacting how we currently engage with ourselves, others, and in the world. Many of my clients report increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, and ability to understand, accept, and regulate their internal experiences. When I am not providing therapy, I enjoy being in nature/hiking, spending time with my family and cats, and watching horror movies.

Mental health issues are often most noticeable in our relationships. Clients I work with tend to experience anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and self-esteem issues that feel especially present when they are with others. This can impact your dating life, your ability to find and maintain friendships, and your satisfaction in longer term romantic and familial relationships. I help clients identify painful patterns in their lives, then dig deeper to understand where they are coming from. After working together, clients feel more in control of their emotions and relationships, which leads to a greater sense of calm in their lives.

Do you feel like you’re never quite enough? Caught between people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt? Are you moving through your days feeling anxious, low, disconnected, or weighed down by constant negative thoughts? You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, or relationship challenges, and you don’t have to do it alone. What you think and feel matter. I believe meaningful change is possible, and that therapy can help you build a life that feels lighter, clearer, and more authentic. Whatever you bring into the room - if it matters to you, it matters to me. I specialize in working with social anxiety, depression, and trauma, using modern, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Healing begins with a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. Through collaboration, and a touch of humor, we’ll focus on what matters most. Starting therapy isn't easy, but I’m glad you’re here. Our first sessions focus on understanding your background and building trust in a supportive space. From there, we’ll work toward clarity, confidence, and a more fulfilling life. Reach out today - this is the first step that could change everything. Please call (734) 219-3907 or visit greatlakesmentalhealth.com to start your journey today.
