Therapists in Hancock County, OH

Our approach to therapy is one in which our clients are viewed as resilient and resourceful. Our office is a place where change happens. I am now offering Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy to our practice. Horses are extremely intuitive animals and are able to help facilitate change on an emotional relational level that enhances the healing process.I have had a long interest in horses and find a healing effect to be activated when in their presence. This realization was probably the most important driving force that propelled me into this horse/person connection as a modality for treatment.

Ernest Hemingway said, "The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places." We have all experienced hardship, but healing and growth is possible! If you are ready to make a change, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey.

I believe in a holistic approach with an emphasis on getting to know each individual for who they are as a person. I work to build a complete picture of each person's emotional, mental, and physical health and behaviors to better gain more understanding. My goal is to work in creating more self-awareness and personal growth to facilitate positive changes in your life and overcome the obstacles you may be facing. I enjoy working with adolescents through adults and particularly enjoy emerging adults and life transition issues. As a mom myself, I am passionate about working with perinatal/postpartum mood disorders and women's issues.

Struggling with a relationship, anxiety, depression, or something else? We believe it’s never too late to be your authentic self. We can help you live a healthy, meaningful life and find the strength to grow and flourish. We know seeking help can be hard. So our counselors celebrate the courage and strength it takes to reach out for help. Most people debate seeking help for months, if not years before finding the courage to reach out. It’s OK to struggle with the stuff life throws at us. We have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Do you have a child, pre-teen or adolescent or do you yourself deal with with issues of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or trauma? You’ve come to the right place! I work with ages 3-30! I help my clients by first creating a safe and trusting environment because therapy can be scary sometimes! Things we may work on initially are becoming aware of symptoms related to the experienced problem, understanding the implications of the stressor(s), developing and utilizing coping skills, and understanding connections between thoughts and behaviors using CBT modality.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed may seem like your normal, but I assure you that you were not created to live that way. Peace and contentment is very possible given the right skills and support. Perhaps feeling stuck or trapped is where you have been lately and it is affecting other areas of your life where you are not living as your best self. Relationships can be hard especially if we have stressors weighing us down so we feel even more defeated. Feeling good about yourself and others is very possible as most people were not given the coping strategies needed and survival is where many people are at. You don't have to be.
