Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Vermilion, OH

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families and young adults regarding a variety of emotional/behavioral issues. I find value in working collectively with the child and parent to better manage symptoms that revolve around school difficulties, oppositional and defiant behaviors, anxiety, depression, suicidality, self-harm, trauma, mild autism/Asperger’s, aggression, stress, self-esteem, communication difficulties and life changes or transitions.

CBT Certified. Understanding the links between your thought patterns & behaviors that impact your emotions often requires support; it's hard to figure some of these things out on your own. Your perception of yourself, the world and your future impacts how you feel and how you interact with others. We live in a sometimes broken and fast paced world so at times our perceptions are negatively impacted or skewed by the world without us being fully aware of it. The good news is, once negative patterns are recognized, they can be challenged or changed freeing us from the negative emotions that were tied to them.

Individual counseling provides an opportunity for you to talk openly about your thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I work with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, adults, and those within the LGBTQ community. With children and some adolescents, differing modalities of therapy, including art and music, provide an additional outlet for those who cannot always verbalize thoughts and feelings. Family dynamics can often be challenging, whether you have a traditional or non-traditional family, and I can help. Together, we can work through your concerns.

I remember the first time I sought therapy; it felt overwhelming. How will I know the therapist is effective, non-judgmental, and compassionate? You know by trusting yourself and interviewing the therapist. I invite you to come in and see if we are a good fit. If not, I will help you find the right therapist; because finding the right therapist is half the battle to having a successful therapy experience. In my practice, I provide a safe place for you to talk & work through issues that you are experiencing, whether from a current situation or past regrets. I've invested in extensive training to hone my skill regardless of the issue.

At Bechtel Counseling & Consulting LLC, it is our goal to make a difference in the lives of anyone struggling from all types of emotional pain and suffering. We aim to guide clients in being their best self and to live their best life!

Life is hard and we all encounter many struggles. It is also an opportunity for positive change to occur through careful examination of patterns and experiences that may have affected you. I believe that one of the most important parts of therapy is that the client and clinician are a good “fit”. The best work is able to be produced when this connection is made.

Accepting new clients! Have you been struggling with a significant life change such as entering adulthood, recent separation, empty nesting, becoming a parent? During this transition, have you felt like you lost yourself in the process? If you are looking to learn and use new coping skills, set more boundaries in your relationships, and are looking for effective communication techniques to strengthen your relationships, I would love to help!
