Trauma Focused Therapists in London, OH

Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward your healing journey. Therapy is a safe space and an amazing tool to work on being the best version of yourself. My name is Michelle, and I am a Licensed Social Worker with the State of Ohio Counselor and Social Worker Board. My approach is always Client Centered, meaning I start where the client is. Evidenced Based Modalities I also use are: Strength Based, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Trauma Focused Therapy. I want my clients to have a safe space to heal.

I am a dedicated clinical social worker and mental health provider currently licensed to practice in Ohio. My expertise lies in providing compassionate and effective therapy to children and caregivers. I leverage a trauma-informed care approach to facilitate healing and resilience and am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I also employ client-centered techniques such as mindfulness to enhance my therapeutic interactions. Under supervision, I continue to hone my skills and deepen my knowledge, ensuring every client receives the most informed and empathetic care possible.

I believe the role of a clinician is to hold space with individuals as they heal and grow. I recognize that all people exist within a system which impacts their wellbeing. With this systemic view in mind, I work in partnership with my clients by supporting them as they achieve their goals. By utilizing Family Systems and Trauma-Focused therapeutic approaches, my clients reach their goals in an informed and intentional way. I work with diverse presenting concerns including anxiety and mood, bipolar disorder, and complex trauma.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio and South Carolina with over 20 years of practical therapeutic experience and education in the mental health field. I specialize in women's issues, Anxiety, Coping Skills, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, and behavior patterns in your adult life that stem from stressors, abuse, neglect, and trauma experienced in childhood. I utilize a mix of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma Focused, Strength-Based, Attachment-based, and Psychodynamic therapy. I believe we are all works in progress, and balance in life is essential to improving one's life.

I specialize in helping LGBTQ+ people heal from the impacts of trauma. Using EMDR and other trauma and attachment focused techniques, I work with clients who's experiences of sexual or relationship trauma, difficult family relationships, marginalization, and more, have shaped how they see themselves and the world. As a queer, non-binary, trans person, I offer an environment where you don't have to "explain" your queerness, nor choose between a queer therapist and a trauma-focused one. My approach is social justice oriented, and based in the power of authenticity, acceptance, and attachment.

I understand there are levels to mental health; we may have good days and the next day we experience hopelessness. I am of the opinion that therapy is a professional conversation that leads to purpose, clarity, empowerment and knowledge of self.

—Available with NO Waiting List at this time! Taking the leap to begin therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a caring, accepting environment for my clients to feel safe, valued and heard. Through compassion, I approach counseling by viewing each client as an individual, investing time to understand what shapes them and their stories. My collaborative style invites my clients to be partners in identifying and reaching goals in their journey to change.

During our time together, I focus heavily on the values of the social work profession: service, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. Believing that each person is the expert in their own life, I can assist you in identifying and uncovering strengths that help in managing the challenges. Together we work toward your goals, whether it is dealing with emotions in a different way, improved relationships, or overall more optimal functioning, to reach a future less weighed down by the heaviness of life.

Are you tired of feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or health problems? Are you struggling to manage everything all at once? Hi, I'm Heather, a mental health therapist. Counseling can provide support to help you meet the demands of ADHD, anxiety, and depression that interfere with work, relationships, and parenting. I believe we can all use support in our lives as we navigate stressful times and I know it's hard to make time for therapy. Engaging in counseling with me can help you by working through challenging situations, emotions, and experiences with greater ease and without judgment, in a relaxed session.

How many times in life do you put off doing what you want or need? Sometimes your own fears might get in the way. Other times, you might fear what your friends, family or community will think or say. When it comes to your health, you are what matters. If you are experiencing mood changes, feelings of sadness, isolation, fear or anger and want to find the source of these emotions, schedule an appointment today. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not a weakness. Confidential services are available for children and adults.

Accepting New Clients! My approach for counseling is primarily person centered and trauma focused. While my specialty is trauma and stress related disorders, I work with teens and adults in a variety of backgrounds, life stages and diagnoses. I am also experienced in working with individuals and families who may be experiencing a variety of issues, such as: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues and life transitions including career. My counseling style is collaborative, non-judgmental and supportive. We will use your personal strengths to help you move from a place of “stuck” to a place of hope and resilience.

I work with the strong ones. The ones who have been strong too long. The ones who are feeling the emotional fatigue of trying to make everything happen for everyone else, but some how lost track of focusing on themselves and their own happiness/ mental wellness. I have the privilege to work with women, men and teenagers. Inside my office walls I provide a haven and place to talk to candidately about current and pass stressors and find new strategies to bring mental wellness. We discuss current behaviors, passed traumas and coping mechanisms that no longer are helpful and find new ways to live a more fulfilling life.

There are countless possibilities that may have lead you here - whether life feels like too much or too little; over or underwhelming; in need of more energy or calm; Maybe you don’t know whether you want to focus on the past or present, beginnings or endings – wherever you find yourself, our space and our providers extend a welcome and secure environment to create, edit and sometimes – rewrite your story.
