Couples Counseling Therapists in Lorain County, OH

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. I am glad you are taking the first steps towards finding support and help. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and I am a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have spent a large portion of my counseling career working with individuals suffering from substance abuse and mental health issues, and strongly believe that both diagnoses impact one another. I have experience working with couples and relationship issues. Utilizing a holistic counseling approach we will strive to build resiliency skills.

Are you ready to be inspired to embrace your inner self? Are you ready to really love the life you’ve built or are building? My goal is to help you work through the things that suck in life and still find happiness in your life! I provide an understanding, supportive, and judgement free environment for our sessions. I encourage transparency and open communication in order to build a working relationship. I want you to leave our sessions feeling heard and encouraged!

My name is Elizabeth Nekoloff and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a passion for working children, adults and couples. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults who have struggled coping with the stress of everyday life , anxiety/depression, trauma and difficult life transitions such as relationship issues for over 20 years in an agency setting and in a Counseling setting. You can expect a relaxed and safe environment that empowers you towards meeting your personal goals.

My ideal client is open about their issues and needs and motivated to work through them. My client's goal will be to build a foundation of good mental health that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives and use to improve their own lives as well as their family and friends. My ideal client comes to therapy because they want to be there and value what they can learn from their therapist and themselves.

My name is Jessica Holland and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor licensed in the state of Ohio. Over the 10 years that I have been practicing as a Master’s level clinician, I have provided counseling to clients of all ages in a community mental health setting and to foster, adoptive, and biological families in the home and school setting through my work as an Intensive Home-Based Therapist. I work with clients of all ages, addressing a variety of mental and emotional issues.

I believe in an individualized approach for every client and working with you to determine the best methodology to get you where you want to be. I will help you tell your life story, and will work with you to find insight and meaning for the future. While on your journey, you will find that I can offer and link you with additional resources to empower you beyond the therapy room. Finally, if a relationship with me as a therapist is not working, I encourage my clients to be open and honest so that we can get them on the correct path to healing.

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.

I offer support in exploring relationships, communication, sex, and all the things that go under the realm of connection and pleasure. I am a LPCC and Certified Sex Therapist through AASECT, licensed in OH. Many people tell me that I am the first person they have ever talked to about 'this stuff'. I primarily enjoy working with motivated clients who are interested in navigating the complexities of their intimate lives with openness and honesty. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and multi-partner relationships exploring intimacy, sexual functioning, power dynamics, and communication.

The clients who come to me are looking for more than someone to listen and nod. While being "heard" is an important component of counseling, clients experience the most growth when they are challenged to explore themselves and their relationships from more than surface level. I facilitate growth and change by identifying patterns. Do you wonder why you have patience for everyone except yourself or your partner? Do you find yourself getting triggered by seemingly insignificant interaction? Are you a perfectionist? People pleaser? Do you find that achievement of goals hasn't brought you the happiness that you thought it would?

Are you ready to make a life changing decision? Have you been silently battling feelings of depression and anxiety? Maybe your trauma has been weighing you down. Are you tired of just merely existing as you navigate everyday life feeling alone and misunderstood? Have you tried almost everything to deal with the pain and disappointment of yourself and others? You are probably wondering if therapy is even worth it, and it is because you are important and deserve happiness. Remember you don't have to go through this alone. I want to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental space where I empower you to unlock your full potential.

Are you suffering from trauma & finding it holding you back from living your true, authentic life? From my experience, I can see how challenging a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis can be on a person, & working with someone open to learning new skills to manage it better can be very rewarding! I enjoy working with people who are suffering from anxiety or depressive disorder as I have seen the progress my clients have made in those areas & I love to watch them start to live a more satisfying life. I am here to assist with any life transitions, relationship issues, grief, or OCD/phobias that are preventing you from your goals.

Navigating life as a Christian isn’t easy. We try our best to live a life that glorifies God, honor our spouse or parents, raise our children, take care of those in need, serve in the church, work hard but sometimes it all feels like too much to handle. Some of us have past hurts, trauma, failures that continue to plague us and it can feel impossible to move forward in life.

Many people who I work with are trying to manage feelings of stress and fear or sadness. Others are struggling with sexual identity or gender and still others are seeking support in managing their identities. Everyone is searching for relief from the pain and frustration. We can work together to find the solutions and improve your life!

There are times in your life when you may feel helpless, depressed, anxious, or even be experiencing conflict with the people you love. You may also see a family member, child, or friend struggling and wonder what you can do to help them work through their negative feelings. When we are in dark places, it can be difficult to understand that healing and hope are possible. As a counselor, I have worked with adults, couples, families, and children. I can help you or your loved ones go from a place of frustration and sadness to healing and growth.

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!

We all need support at different times in life. Many clients seek help when their current way of dealing with life's challenges no longer works. With a caring, non-judgmental & solution-focused approach, we will explore your issues, concerns and challenges in a safe environment. The most effective way to create change is to uncover root causes & start the healing from the deepest emotional level. Somatics and energy work offer a holistic solution encompassing body, mind, spirit, will & emotions. We combine the Core Energetics evolutionary process with Reiki energy treatments and coaching to help create a balance for clients.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.
