Therapists in Toledo, OH

No matter where you are in life, sometimes we all need help adjusting to our “new normal.” I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, and over-control as a means to cope with life. Perhaps you are entering or completing college, graduate school, becoming a new parent, contemplating a career change, experiencing loss, or adjusting to new circumstances in your life. Do you try to plan or perfect each aspect of life, in order to keep your anxiety in check? Welcome.

I believe that stronger self-awareness better equips individuals to set goals and make choices that affirm integrity, authenticity, and wholeness. As a clinician, I hope to create a safe environment where all can come to know themselves more fully and implement practical steps to live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Everyone has the power within themselves for positive change, sometimes we just need a little guidance and new tools to get there. I am a licensed professional counselor and will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to do so. I treat preteens and adolescents as well as adults and families with individual, group and family therapy. I work closely with people to identify their specific needs with a focus on the mind/body connection and healing from a holistic and cognitive behavioral approach. My greatest desire in my work is to help others reach their full potential and see positive change in their lives.

As a therapist with more than 20 years of experience,I have spent much time helping individuals,couples and families overcome difficulties in their lives. These obstacles range from everyday struggles to overwhelming life challenges. My training, which includes earning master's degrees in both Social Work and Counseling, has prepared me to work with a wide range of issues.

I believe in therapy. It can play a vital role in coming to terms with the past, living life in the present, and anticipating the future… We cannot erase a difficult history. But we can change our relationship to our pain, and we can identify the things within our control. I believe that self-understanding is key for making healthy changes... The importance of working to understanding ourselves cannot be stressed enough.

We are not always kind to ourselves. We can get stuck in our thoughts, repeating past mistakes or challenges over and over, until we feel the same as we did in that difficult moment. Our problems can seem overwhelming and the solutions unclear. Even just thinking about our troubles can sometimes put us right back in the midst of anxiety, sadness, anger, and pain. With all this weighing on us, every day can become a struggle, and even getting out of bed can seem an insurmountable task.

Do you have a child who appears to be bright but who struggles academically? Does your child's behavior or inability to focus adversely affect learning or make life difficult at home? Does your child have a difficult time connecting socially with peers? If your child is experiencing any learning or behavioral problems at school or at home, then educational testing may be the first step in receiving the help he or she needs.

Hello, my name is Bill DeFelice. I am a masters degreed level mental health therapist in the state of Ohio. I am licensed with my LPCCS. A secondary license that I have is an LICDC-CS. This enables me to treat clients who may be addicted to drugs. My focus areas of counseling are Mood Disorders(Depression, and Bi-Polar disorder), Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Family Counseling, Relationship Counseling and ADHD. My approach to counseling is to use the CBT approach. This is simply pointing out errors in thinking to a client and helping him/her develop rational and replacement thoughts.

My ideal client is scared to reach out right now, is scared of being judged, and is nervous that they will get stuck with a therapist who just keeps asking "and how does that make you feel?". I aim to make therapy more approachable so that I can help you live the life you want to (and if you don't know what that is-I'll help with that too!). My goal is to lower your anxiety, process your trauma, and help you become more confident. I want to help you build and sustain healthy relationships and set boundaries in your life. In session, I will help you understand yourself and your past and move forward.

My ideal client may be experiencing anxiety or depression and is unsure of how to feel better. Or you may have had a loss in life and the grief is too much to handle. I have experience with anxiety, trauma and depression. I am also a former hospice worker and have experience with grief, bereavement, and loss. Life can be very challenging and I hope to provide a safe space for you to work on your goals.

Client's describe me as welcoming, encouraging and open minded. I pride myself on being comforting and non judgmental for my clients to support them through their healing journey.

I do individual and couple therapy. I am often a good fit for clients who want to integrate a spiritual perspective into therapy. By spiritual I mean living authentically, finding deep purpose, forgiving oneself and others, having compassion for yourself and others in the face of life's inevitable challenges, and seeing the sacred in the ordinary. I work with people of different faiths and those with no particular belief. I mix creativity, humor, and metaphors into therapy and encourage "daily practice for the rest of your life" to keep growth going long after therapy concludes.
