Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in 44320

I am an LGBTQ+ affirming counselor and trained in treating anxiety, depression, self-harm thoughts, suicidal ideation, and trauma. I focus on validating thoughts and feelings, building coping skills in order to make healthy choices, and exploring where clients have control over their own lives.

We all experience difficult times or situations in our lives. Helping you work through these situations in a way that you need is my ultimate goal. My goal as your therapist is to support and help guide you in navigating solutions to struggles that you are facing.

Fill your days with joy, calm, and peace. I provide support for adults, teens, and kids facing challenges in their professional or academic lives. Our work and school environments are significant parts of our daily routines, and when things are not going smoothly in these areas, it can have ripple effects on all aspects of our lives. The stress of work or school can strain our relationships and diminish our self-esteem, impacting our performance and lead to burnout. It is common to feel unsure whether our difficulties sleeping or our experiences of anxiety, depression, or irritability are the symptom or the cause of our troubles.

I have a great passion to help people of all ages, religions backgrounds, genders and sexualities. It has always been important that my clients and I have a good relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. I have been working in the mental health field for 10 years. In this time I have done extensive work in schools (advocacy, counseling, IEP/ETR work, and making plans for student success), in hospitals, and in client's homes. In this time I have picked up the ability to work with any situation, big or small.

I am a behaviorist at heart but that does not mean that my compassion, my irreverent style, or my humor are lost in my sessions. My goal is to join with my clients and pair an evidence based treatment with empathy and compassion for the most successful outcomes. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in feeding and food issues, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and parent coaching.

Life tends to bring about a set of challenges that can be difficult to manage without the right tools. Identifying the right people just to share your story with and get wise counsel can be even more challenging. Are you depressed, anxious, confused about your purpose and goals for your life or just flat out need someone to talk to...I’m here. I believe that everyone is born with the innate ability to thrive and persevere regardless of what the circumstances say. Have faith in yourself, acknowledge that inner strength, take one small step at a time and see results manifest in due time. Seeking help means you are almost there!

I am currently a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of OH and have inactive licenses for professional counseling in Pennsylvania and Nevada and clinical drug and alcohol issues in the state of NV. I work with individuals age 16+ with various presenting concerns. I strongly believe that every individual’s story should be shared and validated, and by providing a person-centered and non-judgmental environment we can facilitate desired change and growth together.

My ideal client is the client that is willing to do the mental and emotional work that a therapeutic relationship requires, regardless of the issue they are bringing. These clients are desirous of change and growth and have some degree of motivation to make achieve them. They want to understand themselves better in order to develop and maintain healthy relationships with themselves and others. They commit their time and energy to themselves and the process and are respectful of my time.

Are you struggling with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, or navigating life transitions? You seek a compassionate, experienced therapist who can provide support during evenings and weekends. You want to feel empowered to change, develop new skills, and find peace of mind.

My approach is to meet you where you are and create a space that is safe and non-judgemental offering valuable coping skills, identifying strengths, effective communication skills and challenging unwelcome thoughts through a trauma informed lens.

By seeking professional help, you are already one step closer to where you want to be! I promise to meet you where you’re at and walk with you on the path to growth and healing. My approach to counseling is compassionate, warm, and catered to each individual. I will provide you with a space where you can just exist as yourself without fear of judgement or rejection, and not only feel heard but understood. In listening to you tell your story, I hope to help you recognize the way your experiences in life may have impacted how you view yourself, others, and the world. I see clients by telehealth only.
