Therapists in Cleveland, OH

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I work with clients with a variety of concerns. Clients who work with me desire to grow and learn individually and interpersonally. I work with concerns from individual to professional to relational issues, including mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and trauma. In addition, my background in special education allows me to address further parent-child and child-education issues, including those with special needs. I am also trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).

The purpose of my work is help empower individuals to gain fresh insight and perspective. Many of my clients find themselves stuck when they are facing an unexpected transition, a loss, or just need a change in their lives. I work together with individuals, couples and families to create goals that are realistic and challenging so that they might lead more peaceful, fulfilling lives and have meaningful relationships.

A primary interest of mine is to empower all to take control of and improve ones ability to function on a daily basis. This includes addressing stress, anxiety, mild to moderate depression, and other quality of life factors. I do have a special interest in impacting the mental health of women/females and alternative lifestyle individuals. However, I do welcome male clients for sure. If you are reading this, you are probably ready to begin a new journey. It is a tough step to take, but I and my colleagues are here to support and guide you.

When is it time to seek counseling? Well, for each person it is different. This is because everyone has their own breaking point - a point where stress or trauma becomes so overwhelming that it becomes harder to engage in normal everyday activities. If your stress is interfering with your sleep, parenting, or work then it is probably a good time to get assistance to work through the issues. I offer a safe and confidential environment to address these issues and find practical solutions in order for you to gain emotional relief.

I work collaboratively with clients to assist them in developing goals that are specific to their needs. I focus on emphasizing client strengths and the use of solution focused interventions.

Hello and thank you for considering me as a teammate in your journey to wellness! As a Counselor and Art Therapist, I work with clients and their support systems to achieve a state of health and wellness. You may have done therapy previously, or this may be your first time, but either way I will walk you through every step of this process providing education, support, warmth, and encouragement. I believe that all of us know what we need in our lives, and we are all capable of achieving our goals, but at times we may need new tools and a consistent encouraging support system to make progress.

Life experiences and exposure can present constant barriers to living whole. These same experiences can be overwhelming, and keep you stuck in exhausting cycles.

My ideal clients are adults with challenges regarding everyday life, trauma, identity, faith and spirituality issues but committed to the process of self-awareness, healing, and growth.

Hello, my name is Amy Smitke, LISW-S, LICDC. I approach therapy like a conversation. I hope to be comfortable and build a strong trust in order to address the needs of the clients. I am casual and low-key. I want people to feel comfortable, not judged so that they can show up as their authentic selves as I do. I have wanted to be a therapist since I was in the 5th grade. I have always had a passion for helping others and having a comforting ear to others and it was a natural fit for me. And here I am, many years later.

Sometimes we all need a safe space to share our stories with a caring and unbiased listener, and I want to provide that for you. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years and licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2004. With experience working with many different types of people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, panic, mental and physical illnesses, relationship issues and so on, I am passionate about helping college students, couples, internationals, jobseekers and adults of any age who are seeking emotional healing, mental health, support and direction for their life's struggles and spiritual questions.

I focus on autism/ADHD (with or without trauma/PTSD). ADHD/Autism does not need to be previously diagnosed. My method is to analyze connections which typically stem back to one’s family of origin, which can lead to poor self-regard. Together, we work to identify patterns and tendencies, as well as where they came from. I’ve seen people change for the better. We are looking for results, realizations, epiphanies, and for you to break free from the cycle of unhappiness and self-loathing. www.PaulCulbertson.com

You want to appear successful & like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. Instead you just watch Star Wars, The Office, Friends, Big Bang, or any other things you've seen, done or played a million times. I get it. But you are ready to stop feeling numb and disassociating. You're ready to stop letting those intrusive negative thoughts dictate your life. You're ready to dig deep and change those "default settings" into something positive that you create.

Have you ever experienced someone giving you an uncomfortable glance or had harmful words spoken to or about you because of your racial identity, ethnicity, sexual/affectional orientation, or just because of the way you look? Have you ever had difficulties describing what or how you’re feeling, or not knowing what the hell to do when you’re feeling the feels? Are you new to therapy, trying to navigate and manage the stressors of life, have tried therapy before and it wasn’t a good fit, or maybe you’re returning to continue working toward new goals?

I enjoy working with people in all stages of life and have a broad range of treatment approaches depending on individual need. I believe that relationships with others and one’s own physical well-being are vital considerations when helping people reach the highest level of satisfaction with life.
