Asian Therapists in Ohio

You and I will develop an excellent client-therapist relationship if we share these values: trust and openness, collaborative problem-solving, mindful thinking, active listening, and patience. I strive to create a space where you can be vulnerable and honest about the challenges affecting you. I promise to help you navigate them in a way that's empowering, respectful, thoughtful, and sensitive.

I'm Logan and I'm an East Asian person who has lived insight into what it’s like to exist outside the majority in a state like Ohio. I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life, and I also come from a background of being raised by immigrant communities. I have experience working with BIPOC communities, systemic-based trauma, and religious trauma. I believe it's crucial right now to prioritize decolonizing identity-specific therapy spaces, especially for QTBIPOC with intersecting marginalized identities.

As a Queer, adopted Asian American, I’m passionate about working with fellow members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and individuals impacted by adoption. My experiences as a domestic violence advocate and trauma/crisis intervention specialist for victims of violent crime have also cemented my passion for working with survivors of trauma from domestic and sexual violence, stalking and human trafficking. I believe the foundation for any successful counseling is based on a strong therapeutic relationship built on counseling pillars of trust, empathy, humor, and compassion.

Adulting is hard. Whether you are struggling with the demands of parenthood, the stress of work, or the burden of past life experiences, I'm here to help individuals find more balance, joy, and calmness in their lives. As a South Asian American woman, I also understand cultural issues that can impact family and interpersonal relationships that are deeply rooted in years of tradition. I want to help my clients feel validated in their life experience while also leaving each session feeling a little lighter and a little more hopeful about their own capabilities.

I work with my clients to empower them through awareness into the underlying influences of their clinical distress and life difficulties, which may include personal and social history, relationships, culture, and society. I am an empathic listener and support clients in identifying their own needs, challenges, and what is working or no longer working for them. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and to work together to build a safe, trusting, and meaningful therapeutic relationship.

The bulk of my clients are couples. I work with a range of issues including Enhancing communication, Infidelity, Sexual Dysfunction, Blended Family issues, etc. The sessions will be very focused on clearly established client goals.Homeworks are given to couples every session. I am a very straight forward therapist and try help clients to tap into their own reserves to find better ways to live while also sharing the huge wealth of knowledge I have from my long experience.

Hello, there. I want to express how glad I am that you have taken this important step toward improving your mental and emotional well-being, and I would be genuinely happy to join you on your journey. Throughout my years as a therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with many individuals who have experienced mental health challenges related to sexual abuse, anxiety, depression and PTSD. And it has absolutely become my passion to work with each of you for these issues. If you would like to, please go to my website I posted under my profile picture to learn more about me.

As an integrative clinical psychologist I tailor therapy to individuals' needs and strengths. I frequently assist clients to overcome anxiety, depression, transitions in life, and other personal challenges. As a trained health psychologist I have also helped clients with health-related issues. In my six-week Stress Management Program I teach mind-body techniques and tools for use in daily life. I am a member of the American Psychological Association, Cincinnati Academy of Professional Psychology, and American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. My supportive, respectful, and collaborative approach is the foundation of my work, and I welcome questions about my practice.

Are you currently finding it difficult exploring your emotions? Anger? Fear? Shame? Sadness? Sometimes, does it seem that wondering about these emotions causes some anxiety and stress? Do you feel family, friends, and others don't understand? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you likely can benefit from addressing those thoughts through therapy where there is Confidentiality, Support, and No Judgement.

Hi there! I am so glad that you are here and considering therapy. As someone who was raised in a culture where mental health was not widely discussed, I understand firsthand the power of being able to openly share your thoughts without fear of judgment or scrutiny. With that being said, I also understand how intimidating it can be to attend therapy, especially for the first time. My goal as a therapist is to meet my clients where they are and create a safe and warm environment in which my clients can explore their authentic selves.

Let's explore what sexual freedom looks like for you. You are good even with all of your sexual desires. Hi, my name is Yub. I am bilingual in Korean and English. Sex should be enjoyed with pleasure and explored without judgment. However, the messages we receive throughout life make it harder to be true to our sexuality. You will have a safe space to talk about sexual/intimacy difficulties, access your desires, explore kinks, or discuss open/polyamorous relationships. Some of the techniques I use may include exploring through narrative or role-playing. I'm an active member of LGBTQIA+ and the kink community.

Juliane has a master’s degree from University of Kentucky and is a supervising licensed independent social worker with 25 years of experience. She has experience working with individuals, families and couples ranging from age 5 to 99 in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, homes, residential treatment facilities, outpatient community mental health and adolescent detention centers. Most recently Juliane has worked with people coping with major illness (particularly cancer).

My choice to become a therapist is based on my personal experience with therapy as well as my belief that everyone has the potential to uncover and enjoy their authentic selves. I have spent time understanding the construct of identity as it relates to self-acceptance, self- worth, and self-actualization. These themes are not only core to the self, but also integral parts of our interpersonal relationships - partners, children, friends, and communities. Trauma, belief systems, and life experiences create a default mode of operation. Undoing these is a gentle process of vulnerability and self-trust.

Currently Accepting New Clients. As someone who has been in the client chair before, I understand how difficult it can be to decide whether counseling is the right first step for you or how intimidating it is to discuss life’s hardships with another person. However, I can also attest to the benefits that counseling can produce in one’s life if given the proper time, effort, and care. Mental health is an integral component of overall health and well-being, and my goal as a counselor is to ease people through tough transition periods and to assist in cultivating meaningful lives.

I love working with a variety of clients with a variety of needs. My general outlook is doing whatever I can to make the therapeutic relationship work so that my clients can feel safe enough to heal. I want for my clients to grow and become successful in achieving their goals so that when they leave counseling with me, they dont need counseling anymore. I want for them to know how to set healthy boundaries, to love themselves, and to be able to know how to cope with whatever life throws at you.

Hi, my name is Hao. Are you struggling with worries or negative thoughts that just won't go away? Do you find it difficult to stay positive and treat yourself with compassion? Whether you're dealing with overwhelming feelings, cycles of anxiety and depression, or relationship issues. I'm here to help.

I see counseling as a pathway that helps people discover their strengths and gain tools to better navigate anxiety, depression, grief, identity confusion, life transitions, or other difficult life circumstances. In a therapeutic relationship, you can process your feelings and thoughts in a safe space. My hope is that clients will be seen, be heard, and be known in the process, which empower you toward the positive change you want to see in your life.
