Anxiety Therapists in Bowling Green, OH

You never thought you would feel like this, but here you are. You're feeling lost and uncertain of yourself, your relationships, even your feelings. You don't know what direction you are heading or where you should go. You've tried to explain your feelings to those closest to you, but being vulnerable is some scary shit. It's all so exhausting. All you know is that you are ready to make some changes. You are tired of feeling stuck and the changes might be scary, but nothing is as frightening as staying like this. You haven't felt like yourself in a long time and trying to find that version of you on your own isn't working right now.

Hi! I'm Megan! I have been a social worker since 2010 and have been a mental health counselor in some capacity since 2012. I love connecting to people in this way. I love helping people navigate life's challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, general changes, relationships- whatever has brought you to this point in your mental health journey.

My therapy style is empathetic, insightful, reflective, humorous and goal-affirming. I have always had a "quirky" sense of humor and I love that I can bring that into session with me. Sometimes being able to laugh or to see the absurdity of life shakes loose the obstacles and anxiety. My initial goal is to connect with you and your experiences in your world, ask questions, provide feedback, and use interventions to rebuild and reinforce your sense of self and your place in the universe.

Welcome to a warm haven where relationships are nourished, and hearts find solace! I take a holistic approach when working with individuals, couples, and families through mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, and relational conflict.

Bowling Green State University's Psychological Services Center (PSC) offers a broad range of mental health services to the NW Ohio community. Our staff of approximately 40 doctoral students in Clinical Psychology work under the close supervision of licensed psychologists who are BGSU faculty or adjunct faculty. Services are offered to individuals, couples, and families. The PSC embraces diversity and welcomes clients of any age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and/or disability status. All services are confidential.

We are not buttoned-up, blank slate therapists. We are an inclusive collective of therapists who understand how important the therapeutic relationship is. Our therapists are trained to treat ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, and more. So, if you are looking for new coping skills, communication skills, or healing from the past, we can help. Sound House Counseling, LLC provides a variety of therapeutic services for individuals, couples, and families and we work with all age ranges. We strive for satisfaction with our imperfections and our therapists know what it is like to sit on that couch in a therapist's office.

I believe that we all are doing the best we can with the tools we have at the time. Through self-compassion, reduced negative thinking, and increased awareness of our own needs/feelings, positive growth can occur for you or your child. This also supports an improved relationship with ourselves which results in happier relationships with others. When you enter my counseling space it is my goal for you or your child to feel accepted, safe, and heard. As a parent myself, I am also passionate about helping you connect with your child in a more positive way.

Are you struggling with anxious or ruminating thoughts, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, lethargy, lack of motivation, or isolation, which may have been manageable previously but now is an issue? You may struggle with creating a support network or having boundaries with others. Are there unresolved trauma issues that you may not be acknowledging? You are looking for insight & help with your active symptoms, like managing your anxiety, ruminating thoughts, or negative self-talk. You would like to develop coping skills that are easily applicable to your daily routine while increasing the quality of your supports.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, various forms of addiction, autism, & more. Are your goals oriented towards reducing maladaptive symptoms, identifying the behaviors you wish to engage in, being the person you want to be, and, ultimately, the life you aspire to live? Do you desire change and growth & are willing to put the necessary effort in? As your counselor, I do not effect change; that responsibility belongs to you. I aim to empower you to recognize your innate strengths, develop them further, and effectively use them towards your goals in life.

I have experience working with clients who suffer from a range of mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, and more. I take an approach that involves meeting clients where they are. I learn about their stories and assess what the right path is for their needs and goals. Having a client who is open and receptive to therapy is all a therapist could and should ask for.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.

My ideal client is ready to do the hard work of making real change in their life. Sometimes, people think change has to be big to start therapeutic services; it doesn’t. Sometimes, learning to breathe, decrease anxiety, and be more mindful of your strengths can become a great asset. Therapy doesn’t have to be forever; sometimes, you just need help getting through the now. I help individuals & families dealing with chronic illnesses and end of life. At times like those, crises often happen: medical conflict, spiritual conflict, familial conflict, financial concerns, housing and food insecurity.

I have served those with Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Family Issues, etc. My ideal client is motivated to roll up their sleeves and engage in the therapeutic process. They have an open mind and can practice effective coping skills to improve their overall functioning and quality of life. They can challenge themselves to be vulnerable and practice accountability while processing their problematic thinking patterns and behaviors in a safe and non-judgmental environment. They wish to engage in therapy because they realize that they need to make a change and are willing to take a leap of faith to make it happen.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

Are you suffering from trauma & finding it holding you back from living your true, authentic life? From my experience, I can see how challenging a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis can be on a person, & working with someone open to learning new skills to manage it better can be very rewarding! I enjoy working with people who are suffering from anxiety or depressive disorder as I have seen the progress my clients have made in those areas & I love to watch them start to live a more satisfying life. I am here to assist with any life transitions, relationship issues, grief, or OCD/phobias that are preventing you from your goals.

Do you want to improve your anxiety and relationships in order to improve your overall functioning? My ideal client would be someone who is ready to make changes and begin therapy. I would enjoy working with someone with goals but may need some help clarifying them and creating a plan to work toward them.

"The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." ---Socrates--- Is your life filled with the happiness that you deserve? Do you feel like you need a little help reaching your potential? Then give me a call and let me walk along side of you while WE figure it out. We will work together to transform your trials into tribulations so that you may live a life that is more satisfying.

I enjoy working with clients who may be struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, emotional management, poor self-esteem, experiencing grief and loss; who are motivated and open to change and doing homework, and who desire to be a healthier version of themselves.

I enjoy working with people who struggle with depression and/or anxiety. Ideally, their goals would be to improve their overall functioning and quality of life. My ideal client would be able to put in the necessary work to accomplish their goals. My therapy style is authentic, empathetic, and validating. I believe in incorporating various treatment modalities that are based on the individual needs of my clients.
