Trauma Focused Therapists in Lewis Center, OH

We all can experience difficult periods in life that can lead us to feel overwhelmed, out of balance and in need of support. It is easy to develop feelings of anxiousness, low-self worth, guilt, shame and overwhelm during these times. With over 20 years of experience helping families, I am able to provide creative interventions that are tailored to your needs. I utilize evidence supported approaches in my work with individuals, couples and families. I am skilled at supporting those who experience anxiety, depression, over-whelm, relational conflict, trauma and career challenges.

I have provided psychotherapy services for over 35 years to individuals (adults and children), couples, and families. Once a therapeutic relationship is established, then a treatment plan is formulated based upon my client’s needs wherein each client’s inherent strengths are utilized to maximize growth and results. Resources are provided as an adjunct to the therapeutic process.

My primary goal is to help you feel comfortable, secure and heard. After the first session my clients will feel hopeful that their goals, for a more satisfying life, are obtainable. I approach my clients with unconditional positive regard, that translates for me as seeing the utmost value in every single one of my clients. I am honored to be a part of your healing journey. I am devoted to finding the best way to support your emotional healing. I encourage my clients to apply the skills learned in therapy, and do periodic check-ins to gauge progress in reaching their goals. I'm located in Polaris near Polaris mall.

My passion is to help adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are experiencing difficulties due to past trauma or current life stressors. My aim is to instill hope that change is possible and assist in making that change happen. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable talking about their concerns openly and freely.

Are you having struggles in your job or relationship? Have you been diagnosed with a mental illness and need coping skills as you learn to manage all that it entails? Do you need education, support, and encouragement? I work with grief/loss, trauma, Depression, Anxiety, coping skills & boundaries, relationship and job stressors, life transitions, and general support.

We will work together to set goals for taking the next steps to feel better.

I enjoy working with clients who may be struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, emotional management, poor self-esteem, experiencing grief and loss; who are motivated and open to change and doing homework, and who desire to be a healthier version of themselves.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

Seeking care for mental health is as wise as caring for physical health. Whether there are symptoms or you simply want a "check-up," mental healthcare is an important part of overall well-being. I'm not here to tell you what's "wrong" with you but instead, to explore what what you've experienced, how you've survived, and your hopes for the future. We are all individuals and products of our environment, with unique strengths and survival behaviors that have helped during difficult times. My goal is to help you identify those strengths so they can be used with intention to reach your desired potential and live a whole-hearted life.

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.

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.

I assist clients who struggle with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression and want to bring about change in their lives. I help clients who want to find a balance and stability within themselves to learn and reconnect to a more desired life.

I specialize in treating generalized anxiety, OCD, depression, complex trauma and PTSD, substance and alcohol use, couples & marital issues, grief, major life transitions, vocational/career discernment, and a variety of everyday and lifelong existential questions and realities we all face. Are you depressed and anxious about many things, with sleepless nights and moments of quiet desperation, helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness? Are you searching for answers to questions both known and unknown, looking to share with someone who can validate the reality of suffering in your life & help you find ways to navigate?

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 professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

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.

My favorite part of therapy is seeing people rediscover their joy! Do you find yourself saying about your partner that you 'love them' but don't 'enjoy them'? Have you looked at your children or teens and wondered if the 'fun part' of parenting is over? I work with couples and families on a daily basis to help them figure out how to find that connection again. I help them resolve their current struggles and empower then to create better futures.

I help clients with many different things: relationship issues, spiritual questions, and finding greater meaning in their lives, as well as trauma of all kinds, and difficulty with managing emotions, anxiety, and depression. I integrate many approaches that can help you build the connection to and confidence in your own inner guidance, including but not limited to: mindfulness, Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Transforming Touch, EMDR, transpersonal psychology, Bodynamics, attachment repair, pre/perinatal imprints, biodynamic cranio-sacral, and psychoeducation, as well as coaching and direct inquiry.
