My name is Kelly Harmon (she/her) and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Kent State University. Throughout my work as a counselor, I have seen that many of my clients live a life of expectations, many of which can be harmful to both their physical and mental health. A person’s worth is often measured by what they can accomplish whether it be in work, school, as a parent, friend, or member of one’s family. In my work with clients, I have sought to help them prioritize their overall health and wellbeing.

No matter how strong we are, sometimes life can throw some pretty tough challenges at us. Mental health issues can have different sources that can be addressed in sessions. You may need help dealing with the past, struggling with the present, or worried about the future; figuring out or coming to terms with your sexuality/gender or coming out to family/friends; or dealing with the stress of daily life or transitions, work/school, or systemic issues. Each of your issues, needs, and goals are valid and can be addressed on your terms. You deserve it!

I believe healing occurs when we are seen for who we are, when our stories are believed, and when our pain is heard by a compassionate witness in an environment that is safe. I believe that we have each been created with the innate capacity to heal our own pain. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you bravely discover this capacity within yourself. You are not your worst moments. You are a mosaic of all the beautiful parts inside of you. “We share our stories with those who have earned the right to hear them.” -Brene Brown

My name is Mitchell Harmon (he/him) and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S). I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University. I believe that life is a series of transitions, and it is during these transitions that people experience their greatest struggles, and their greatest triumphs. Change is never easy, and most people are trying to live their greatest lives, but sometimes experience barriers to being the best that they can be. I consider it a privilege to help people become the greatest version of themselves.
