Therapists in Elyria, OH

Are you ready to make changes in your life to support your emotional growth? Do you want to put in the necessary effort to improve your outlook, inner strength, and confidence? Each client will feel supported through skill building, learning, and growing to set achievable goals, accomplish those goals, and have a positive impact on themselves and those around them. The majority of my clients experience depression in different levels of severity. Some come to treatment and need medication as well as talk therapy.

I specialize in seeing clients who struggle with over-controlled personality types. Do you work too much? Want things to be perfect? Strongly dislike being out of control of situations? Or feel like you have to do things in order for them to be done correctly? My ideal client is simply a client looking to learn and grow. I have treated such a wide variety of diagnoses and people from all over the country. I am open to most clients as long as they are adults.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I am an independently Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of Ohio with 14 years of experience. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Lourdes College in 2006 and a Masters's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Bowling Green State University in 2010. Since then, I have practiced in non-profit, private practice and case management settings and have a passion for working with teens and young adults, but have experience with all age groups and have found enjoyment in helping adults and couples as well. I understand life can be stressful, hard at times completely overwhelming so let's talk!

What you think is what you say. What you say is what you do. What you do continually becomes your habit. Your habits create your character; your character determines your destiny (Jeremy Anderson). Michael Wilson is a compassionate connector skilled in the art of therapy over his six years of experience aiding clients in achieving their mental health goals. To Michael, trust is crucial to the healing process. To that end, he approaches each session with a genuine and empathic desire to connect. When you're in session with Michael, you have his undivided attention. Bridging the gap between individuals and social change is his core.

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.

My ideal client is the client that has an idea of what they want in life but is overwhelmed with life stressors such as anxiety and depression. This client needs a safe space to explore their life options and the triggers that are causing negative thinking patterns, self-doubt, and low self-confidence. This client needs support, encouragement, and a non-judgmental approach to achieve their goals.

I am attentive, professional with healing in mind. I use evidence base therapies to assist with the healing process of the client. My sole purpose is to help the client work through issues and except change no matter where or how that happens.

Hello. My name is Caterina Hutchison. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker and have been practicing in the social work field for 20 years. I have worked with many populations, including children, adults, and older adults who have been diagnosed with anxiety, phobias, depression, personality disorders, PTSD, and bipolar disorders. I utilize several counseling techniques, including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, SFBT, and Supportive therapies during treatments with my clients. I have always been dedicated to helping others and will continue down this path until the end of my career.

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.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor I work with youth, adolescents, and adults with a variety of presenting concerns. Clients who work with me can expect empathy, genuineness, highly individualized treatment, as well as collaborative-natured therapeutic alliance, as building trust & rapport with clients is important throughout therapy. Clients can expect to learn evidence-based coping skills to manage symptoms & tools to navigate life experiences. I offer hybrid options for sessions, both in-person at the Elyria/Sheffield office and via telehealth.

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.

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.

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 have been practicing for over 35 years and still love the process of engaging with clients who desire to grow, improve their lives, and/or solve their problems through therapy. Assisting people during times of crisis, transition, personal struggle, trauma resolution, and family problems is what I do best as a psychologist. In addition I have worked hard to build a Practice involving many other therapists who have the same mission. My husband, Dave Zachau, who is also a therapist, and I have devoted our lives to helping others and building our community based Practice.

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.

During the most difficult times in our lives, we can feel isolated, anxious, and depressed, or even unworthy of help. When we are in dark places, we often judge ourselves and worry that others will judge us for our thoughts and behaviors. As a counselor, my mission is to work with adults, couples, families, and children during the most difficult times in their lives. I am dedicated to helping you and your loved ones find healing through a collaborative, non-judgmental and compassionate process. My goal is for my clients to live the life they want to live, and I want to empower you to create lasting, positive change.

Currently Not Accepting New Clients- Life can be full of unexpected changes and loss. Sometimes these experiences can feel too overwhelming to handle on your own. Sometimes old resources are no longer useful and you need a few more tools for managing. Whatever may have brought you to my page, I am happy you are here. In my approach, I take a wholistic view and look at all factors that may be contributing to the problem. I am extremely passionate about sexual wellness and how this impacts wellbeing.
