John Rathje Counseling
Compassionate therapy for
Individuals
Couples
Groups

As a licensed psychotherapist, professional coach, teacher and leader, I work to create safe, trusting, therapeutic relationships to meet goals and experience transformation.
I believe every person and all nature are valuable and worthy of love.
I have extensive experience working with many people with their spirituality as a religious trauma therapist in Ann Arbor, especially those who have experienced hurt from their faith or faith-based organizations.
Offering nature therapy in Washtenaw County, I have seen many benefits that help people connect with nature, improve their lives, and care for the outdoors. It often involves exploring the world together and our role in it by walking in a park, a quiet reflection in green space, earthart, or a group experience.
