It's okay not to love your job or college experience

Watches assignments pile up because everything feels like too much
-
​Wonders if school is really helping you build the life you actually want
-
Feels a nervous buzz in your chest when you realize tomorrow is Monday
-
Flirts with the idea of staying home instead of going to class because you don't feel up to facing the day
-
Thought college would help you grow, but lately you’re just going through the motions
-
Came to college hoping to find yourself but lately it feels like you’re losing yourself
-
Feeling reluctant to get up in the morning
-
Struggling to focus at work because you're checked out
-
Asking yourself, "What am I doing here?" and "Can I really keep this up?"
-
Feeling like nothing can give you back your energy
-
Having trouble showing up for friends, family, and even yourself
-
Wanting a change but feeling powerless to make it happen
Hi, I'm Dr. Ayla Ludwig

Our mental health is not separate from our work and school lives.
I believe you are much more than your work or studies. I also believe you do your best when feeling grounded in yourself.
​
When you feel overtaken by your roles and responsibilities, I help you make space for yourself and find a clearer way forward. If you’re ready to move on from a career or major that no longer feels right, I can also help you explore what could be a better fit.
Â
I bring a holistic, mind-body approach to therapy that invites you to exist outside of productivity and connect with what's inside. Together, we’ll tune into emotions, uncover new possibilities, and create a path toward a life that feels right.
My Specialties

You matter in the career equation. Together, we’ll tune into what makes life and career feel right and find a new direction when your current career no longer fits.
Getting started is simple
Free consult
Let’s connect for a free 15-minute consultation. This video call gives us the opportunity to see whether working together feels right.
Welcome to your space
Our work together begins by creating a custom plan focused on what’s most important for you. From there, we tune into what’s been overtaking you and make room to breathe.
Ready for what's next
Learn to tune into yourself, understand your emotions, and make choices that feel right for you. You’ll have the tools to navigate responsibilities, transitions, and whatever comes next.


Therapy that meets you where you are
Life is already busy, packed with commutes, plans, and responsibilities. Therapy should not add to the chaos. It should meet you where you are.
Â
I provide virtual therapy for people across Michigan. Meeting virtually saves you the drive to an office and time spent in the waiting room. All you need is a reliable internet connection, a confidential space, and your phone or computer. From there, connecting is just a few clicks away.
