In Person Therapists in Rocky River, OH

Creating balance in mind, body and spirit is my personal and professional mission. I have been in the counseling field for over two decades. My experience has been very extensive from working with young children in a psychiatric setting to counseling the Geriatric population in hospital and nursing home settings to educating clients on integrative therapeutic approaches like yoga. Currently, my focus has been treating women issues, depression and anxiety issues, physical illness and traumas, parenting issues, cognitive impairment and life transitions. I prefer adults but have been skilled in working with children.

Helping teens find their own strength is my passion. I am excited about empowering them and others to make healthy changes in their own lives. Right now, we’re seeing many teens struggle with anxiety and depression, in addition to the regular stresses of life. I help them process their trauma and build a great life while working through their depression and anxiety.

I enjoy working with children and adults who are coping with difficult feelings or life transitions. My clients are looking for a safe space to process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and learn new ways to cope.

There are times when it seems life will unravel if you look too closely at the circumstances and parts of yourself you’ve worked hard to ignore. Yet, the life you’ve curated has become untenable. You’re faced with a choice: withstand this vague, nagging sense of anxiety and disconnection or find a way to explore the possibility of something new. I believe we all have within us the capacity to lead rich, meaningful lives.

I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds who want to become be best version of themselves. Those with trauma in their history that they want to heal from. People who struggle with anxiety and depression and need help figuring out how to manage where they are right now.

The environment I strive to create in counseling is one of unconditional acceptance, authenticity, and compassion. My approach to counseling comes from the Existential school of thought. Together and without judgment we can explore difficult topics like the feeling of meaninglessness of existence, the impermanence of all, and the anxiety that comes from our freedom to be the authors of our lives. The journey to find meaning and purpose in life can at times feel isolating, however you do not have to walk down that road alone.

Counseling can help with issues such as communication difficulties, marital/relationship concerns, life changes, stress/anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and behavioral problems. Clients come to me with an overall feeling that life could be better or more meaningful. I understand it can be challenging to reach out for help but remember that you are doing to make positive changes in your life! Please contact me and we can discuss your needs and decide together if I am the best option for you. My direct email is beth@fitmindcleveland.com or call me directly at 216-509-6511.

I believe that every day should be filled with joy! But sometimes in life that is not always easy to do. I have spent the last 25 years practicing in South Carolina, Ohio, and Oregon, working to help individuals and families find their personal joy and maintain it.

I am accepting new clients at this time (Nov. 2023.). My past clients have shown that psychotherapy can be a life-changing investment in yourself. The payoff can be better self-esteem, less negative feelings, and more positive behavior. So, if you have been thinking about seeking a therapist, but have been holding back, you don't need to wait. A brief phone consultation may provide all you need to make this important decision.

When we have a safe space to talk about our feelings, they can become less overwhelming and more manageable. As a therapist, I use a strengths-based and collaborative approach to partner with my clients and their caregivers to work through stressors, express emotions, and develop coping skills. With years of experience in community mental health and healthcare, I have the most extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults who have experienced anger, anxiety, depression and trauma.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). My expertise is in the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adults, including posttraumatic stress disorder. I value the science of clinical psychology, and my treatment recommendations to you will be focused around those approaches that have demonstrated efficacy in research studies for the problems you are experiencing. We will also work together to carefully monitor your progress in treatment and make adjustments to our plan as needed.

Now Accepting New Clients! I love working with individuals, couples, families and groups who want to grow as human beings. In connecting with their true selves, they heal from past wounds, practice life-relationship skills in the present, and find meaning and purpose in their life journey. I assist with fostering well-being in their evolving life, cultivate healing relationships and integrate mind-body-emotion-energy-soul-spirit in their life and relations.

Many women experience emotional challenges that manifest as anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. These symptoms may appear suddenly or over time in response to a major life occurrence. My niche clinical practice focuses on women's issues- particularly within the areas of loss and grief, physical and sexual trauma, and maternal mental health. My experience as a grief and trauma therapist services women who experience emotional and behavioral issues in response to miscarriage, infertility, postpartum depression, and other women’s issues that involve mood disorders, anxiety and decreased relationship satisfaction.

The majority of us experience difficulties in our lives, but the experiences themselves can be very personal and unique. The key principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (the impact that our feelings, thoughts, and actions have on each other) can be life changing when embraced. CBT teaches us to be better stewards of ourselves and allows us to take charge of feeling better and maintaining our improvements after we've achieved them with our changed perspective and skill set. I’m an approachable professional who can help. I encourage you to call, text, or email me to see if we may be a good fit for your change process.
