Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Shaker Heights, OH

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist with Center for Evidence Based Treatment Ohio. I work with adults and adolescents with a variety of presenting concerns, including eating disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, and difficulties with emotion regulation, including borderline personality disorder, suicidal urges and self-harm. Having done much of my training at university counseling centers, I also enjoy working with young adults on stress management and navigating healthy development. I provide in-person and remote services and am able to work with clients in any PSYPACT-participating state (psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap).

I offer individual, couple, family and group therapy for issues including anxiety, depression, couple/family conflict, body image, college readiness. I balance acceptance, compassion and empathy with a results-oriented approach. Therapy is a partnership in which we will work on increasing self-awareness, strengthening relationships, building skills, and making life changes. I draw from my experience and training in Gestalt Couple, Family, Individual and Group Therapy, Maudsley Family Based Treatment, CBT, DBT, and SPACE for children with anxiety.

People deserve an empathetic, supportive environment where they can process their feelings and make a plan to solve their problems and achieve their goals. Stress often leads to anxiety and depression which create barriers to those goals. My aim is to help clients see the strengths they have been overlooking to bring down those barriers and achieve their goals. I have a good deal of experience in counseling college and graduate students, both in a college counseling center and in private practice. I find helping young adults particularly rewarding.

I work with adolescents (14+ y/o) and adults who are seeking individual, family, and couples therapy. Many of the adolescents and adults I work with experience general and social anxiety, grief, depression, PTSD, and may engage in self-harming behaviors or have suicidal ideation. I provide parent/ caregiver coaching to parents who want to improve the quality of their relationship with their children and learn skills of effective conflict management and limit setting. The couples I work with want to learn skills to improve their communication, manage conflict effectively, and rebuild trust and intimacy within their relationship.

Do you need help with feelings of anxiety, depression or any other mental health concerns? My name is Lauren Dicks and I am a LISW licensed in Ohio. I prioritize diversity and enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life. I am a certified 200 hr yoga teacher and believe in the power of mindfulness practices. I also enjoy exploring alternative holistic practices such as herbal medicine with my clients, both of which I’ve studied and hold certifications in. I’ve been providing therapy and diagnostic services for over 13 years, and I’m currently training to become certified in EMDR. Peace and love to you!

I don't believe in reinventing the wheel! My goal as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to find a match between your needs and the interventions that psychological and medical research tell us will best resolve those needs. Choosing the researched intervention for your specific problem will help you experience relief faster and treatment will cost less in terms of time and money. I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience and renown in using interventions such DBT, CBT and FBT (aka the Maudsley approach).

Everyone experiences challenges throughout their lives, and each of us is equipped with different strengths to tackle them.

It is my feeling that all people have an innate need to succeed in life and to discover and better understand their human potential and purpose. It is also my feeling that growth occurs when we look inward. Through thoughtful introspection, the human spirit has the opportunity to evolve and actualize in both our conscious and unconscious lives.

I am committed to understanding and addressing the unique needs of my clients. I believe that everyone carries their own unique experiences and it’s my role to unearth and understand these experiences to help you navigate through life’s challenges.
