Therapists in Cleveland, OH

I am an experienced Master's level Clinical Mental Health Therapist (LPCC) providing individual therapy and have a passion for working in integrated health.

I am a Licensed Social Worker whose counseling is evident to my clients across all ages and backgrounds. I am especially driven to help the adolescent and young adult population. I believe all people deserve the chance to be heard without judgement and possess the ability to take control of their lives so that positive changes begin to happen.

Sometimes, life is overwhelming. Sometimes, we need help. Sometimes, personal adversity comes suddenly. Unexpected life changes can stop us in our tracks. But sometimes personal adversity can be subtle, too.

I will ensure that our therapeutic space is comfortable and safe. I am an eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapist with a passion for helping indivudyuals navigate hardship and/or trauma. I specialize in practicing attachment-based EMDR and Flash to help my clients heal from trauma and engage in a transformational wellness journey. I have availability in-office as well as telehealth. Outdoor, walk and talk sessions available also!

Trauma comes in many forms and can deeply impact how we think, feel, and function as well as our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Using a person-centered approach, I hold space for my clients to reflect and process, leveraging their own strengths and insight to heal and grow in the wake of traumatic life experience. Together we explore a combination of bottom-up and top-down therapies to support processing past experiences for a healthier present and future. I employ an integrative theoretical orientation with emphasis on humanistic psychology, psychodynamic, systems and neurodevelopmental theories.

I am licensed in Ohio with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, and substance abuse treatment. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treating mood problems (depression, anxiety), couple/family problems, dealing with chronic illnesses, and trauma. I have over 10 years of experience in providing evidence-based treatments (treatments that are based on science and proved to be effective). I was trained by world-renowned experts at institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic. I have been providing psychological services since 2012. I take pride in the quality of my work and I am eager to help you achieve your goals. Native fluency in English & Chinese.

My goal is to create a safe and affirming space to facilitate growth and self-exploration and to support and meet you where you are in life. Together, we can look into what brought you into counseling, take your values into consideration and help build coping and mindfulness skills in order to navigate life or manage stress. I tend to use ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR skills in my practice as well. Sometimes we need a safe and unbiased space to go to in order to talk about what we are going through and to encourage growth in new ways. It’s important to take care of our mental health just as we take care of our physical health.

"Getting Well to be Whole"..I believe in working together to find an individual solution to the problem(s) you are experiencing. Whether it is a mood disorder, low self-value, boundary setting, family issues, etc., we get to the source of the issue and set obtainable goals to achieve the relief you need and want. I believe there is a deeper, spiritual component to each one of us, to be whole from our inner being outward. There is a freedom to be had from our worries and symptomology, and we will work to find that freedom.

Are you looking for a way to end specific cycles or patterns you find yourself in time and time again? Maybe you are looking to address cycles and patterns that existed even before you. I am here to help you identify and address these cycles and patterns. I want to provide a sanctuary for your healing and processing. I love to work with all types of people and specifically enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. A lyric that always stands out to me is, "You're all caught up inside, But you know the way". I believe in you. Let's find what way works for you.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker in private practice, I work with adults in individual therapy to address issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and life adjustments and transitions. I value the process of working collaboratively with people to help them increase self-awareness and decrease suffering.

If you are finding yourself in need of therapy then chances are searching for a new therapist may be feeling a bit daunting right now. Whether you are going through a significant life situation or if your distress seems to have caught you by surprise, I thought it would be helpful to share some highly likely topics of exploration that can be expected during our work together as a means to seeing the change you want to see - no matter what your desires for therapy may be: self-compassion; core emotions; boundaries; core beliefs about yourself; autonomy; vulnerability; self-worth; healthy relationships of all types; strengths.

I am seasoned clinician who has focused my career on helping adult individuals with trauma, depression, anxiety and substance use disorder. I have been in the behavioral health field providing a range of modalities but focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy. I am eager to help you and help achieve your goals!

My focus includes the LGBTQ community, sexual health and dysfunction, chronic illness, the HIV+ community, identity development, and women’s issues and wellness. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including community mental health, college counseling clinics, and hospitals. I utilize a feminist and person-centered approach that draws from several theoretical models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I aim to create a validating, judgment-free space that promotes change and healing.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to life. We will work together to take an honest look at what’s working and what is not. I have found great joy in helping clients identify and navigate fear, uncertainty and doubt. How many times have we been dissuaded by fear? How often do we allow that fear to operate under the guise of legitimate concern, caution, reason, etc. My approach is a collaborative effort where empowerment and self actualization are mainstays.

Felicia Thames, Licensed Clinical Counselor living in Cincinnati, Ohio. Been a licensed professional for the past twenty years.

Hi, I am Douglas. My counseling approach is postmodern: you are a unique recipe of strengths, values, skills, experiences, and personality. This recipe is often tweaked throughout the day based on who or what you encounter. Sometimes that change is voluntary and sometimes it is not. Counseling can help you better understand your recipe, uncover its history, claim it as your own, differentiate yours from others, and learn how to adapt it successfully. In counseling sessions I use curiosity, humor, compassion, and accountability to explore themes of emotions, relationships, boundaries, life changes, and identity.
