EMDR Therapists in Celina, OH

Life can take some unexpected turns and will cause some hurt feelings. It is good to talk with someone when feeling ready to heal, as well as finding the root of why we feel hurt and heal from it. I am here to help you on your journey of life. To help you explore your hurts and get to the root of your feelings. Everyone needs to know their true value and potential on being a better you.

I am Rosalie Stluka, MSW, LISW. I was the Executive Director of a local family service/counseling agency for 11 years prior to opening my own counseling practice 30 years ago.

I join with individuals, couples, and families collaboratively to explore ways to live healthier, more balanced lives. I understand that things such as anxiety, depression, or trauma history can be overwhelming for the individual and family members leading to a variety of symptoms and situational difficulties. I am comfortable working with a variety of difficult topics such as suicidal ideation or self harm and enjoy working with family systems to improve communication patterns and increase positive behaviors and connection in the home.

You're out of spoons by 9 am, if you had any at all today. You're constantly vacillating between feeling overloaded and shut down. Your world is too much, and your comfort zone has become your prison; months or years pass before you feel confident enough to take any kind of risk at all. Maybe your pets have become your sole source of social interaction, or you live a rich virtual life and daydream about belonging to an actual in person community who accepts you for exactly who you are (whoever that is!). You want to be the curious master of your own universe, and your fear of change has you tethered to a 10-mile radius.

You feel out of control more often than you'd like to admit. On the outside you might seem fine, but internally you’re frozen, panicked, or overwhelmed. Resorting to people pleasing, perfectionism, or just avoiding it all makes things feel okay again, but it doesn’t last, and you can’t help but brace yourself for the next shoe to drop. You wonder, what is wrong with me? Am I always going to be like this?

I love working with individuals, couples, or families, and my approach is warmly personalized, collaborative, and open-minded. I work to create a brain and body approach to healing for each individual I help. I encourage seeking balance in life and helping people feel emotionally and mentally inspired. I also take a trauma-informed approach in helping others improve an understanding of themselves, their behavioral obstacles, and how these instances have affected their lives.

At The Care Center I help clients dealing with issues including depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, previous traumas, and life adjustment issues. I also help marriages or couples dealing with infidelity, blended family issues, conflict, communication issues, and couples in crisis. My philosophy is to find the roots of the problems and resolve them rather than simply helping learn awkward coping skills. At The Care Center you won't learn empathic/active listening, I statements or deep breathing techniques. We work on healing wounds and rebuilding trust. When you do these things you don't need more "coping skills."

There is a curious habit that I've noticed, especially when working with teens, that clients will mostly only work on the "issue of the week." This can have numerous benefits and can also delay the client's progress on any underlying concerns or patterns. Ideally, once a client has agreed to their treatment goals, they continue to take attainable steps towards that goal in therapy and in their daily life. When a client feels comfortable with their therapist to share their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities, then deeper work can happen.

Hello! I am honored to be a part of your healing journey. I recognize this takes a leap of faith and courage to venture out onto this path. However, I am committed to providing a warm, genuine, honest, and safe atmosphere, to foster vulnerability and healing. I believe all human beings have inherent worth, thus I am passionate about helping you recognize your worth and developing the ability to embrace all the parts of yourself. My goal as a therapist is to empower you, develop emotional intelligence, and process through memories that keep you stuck and prevent you from living your best life.

Making the decision to find help is hard enough. That is why my goal in counseling is to create a place where you feel safe enough to tell your story. I am Olena Sowers, LPCC, and while I work with many concerns, I specialize in trauma and PTSD and EMDR. I have worked with a variety of client concerns, from anxiety, foster care and adoption to addiction, family conflict, anger, and others. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and am trained in EMDR. I have experience working with individuals who survived physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and neglect, assault, first responders, veterans, motor vehicle accident victims, and many more.

Coping with stress, low self-esteem, navigating a life transition, or anxiety and depression? Perhaps a trusted person in your life told you it was time to try therapy. We can explore your communication, expectations, and own boundaries for a healthy relationship with yourself and others. Choose to work on yourself in a safe environment with no judgment. I'll walk next to you on your journey helping you to find what works for you, so you can pursue your pathway to healing and growth. I operate a private pay office. We accept HSA, FSA, and credit cards. I do not work directly with insurance.

Congratulations on taking the first step in the journey to heal. Seeking out therapy is an act of self-love and takes courage and commitment. If you are someone who has been seeking healing, I hope you will take a look at my profile and reach out if you feel called to do so. I work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed and are seeking answers to life's deeper questions. I am a believer in the power of stories. The stories we were told when we were younger often follow us into adulthood and leave us feeling confused and helpless. I want to help you take back your power by reclaiming your story and beginning to write a new one.

Do you often feel stuck in your head, replaying the same situations over and over? Do you have the thought that you have one foot stuck in the past? Trauma and difficult life experiences can leave us feeling anxious, depressed and disengaged with life. Even positive experiences may be filtered through negative beliefs, causing us to doubt their validity. Trauma can affect every aspect of our life, from our ability to manage feelings, have fulfilling relationships with others and ourselves to our ability to live healthy lives.

It takes courage to change. It can also take some help. When we sit down together, you can expect the warm, open environment and engaged listener that you deserve. Maybe you want to increase feelings of calm or self-acceptance, of peace or relief. Maybe you want to experience more of your own resilience and strength, or that of your relationship. Whether you have something you need to accept or confront, our time together can give you the skills and insight you need to experience your life the way you would like to--and to make what's come before part of a fuller, brighter journey.
