Many individuals of all ages are faced with challenges that lead to anxiety, depression, traumatic symptoms, communication struggles, and low self confidence. With all of these challenges piling on top of one another, it makes it difficult to effectively process and complete ones daily tasks. In children and teens, these stressors often show themselves as struggling to fit in at school, low self esteem, seclusion, low motivation, and poor communication skills. Many adults struggle with the stress of daily work life balance, relationships, family dynamics, and past traumas.

There are times when we feel stuck and in need of change. Fear, anxiety, or other obstacles can get in the way of our growth and enjoyment of life. I believe in the resilience of the human heart and in the power to change. If you are struggling, it would be my honor to work with you to make the changes that you seek so that you can fully experience life. I offer a warm and personal experience for each of my clients, as growth flows from the strength of the alliance between the client and the therapist.

As a play therapist and counselor, I reach children and adults using a variety of techniques including the natural language of play.

I am a Registered Play Therapist by the Association for Play Therapy and a certified Autplay Provider (Autism Play Therapy). I am currently the owner and founder of Mending Hearts Counseling Center. I provide mental health counseling and play therapy services to children, adolescents and adults. In my free time I enjoy camping, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Welcome to a space of healing and growth. My name is Kristin Bruce, and with over 17 years of service to the Toledo area, I believe in the power of therapy to navigate the ebbs and flows of life. My practice is grounded in the belief that each individual's journey is unique, and therapy is a collaborative endeavor, whether you're facing personal challenges, relationship issues, or looking to manage life's stressors more effectively.

I currently have availability for early morning and early afternoon appointments. I work with adults who are seeking therapy to cope with issues from trauma, anxiety and depression. You’ve wandered to this page because you know that something in your life has not been going in the way that you want it. On the outside, everything seems to be just “fine” but on the inside you feel overwhelmed, unresolved and overall not happy. Maybe, something happened recently or in your past that you have not been able to process but have said that you’ve “moved on” from it.

My goal is to help you improve your life. I believe that small positive changes compound over time. I will help you to build your toolbox of skills to combat the stresses of life. My approach involves cultivating purpose, focusing on the present, and building skills for the future.

The journey through life can be challenging and lonely at times. Your sight becomes blurred and you search for answers. Let me take your hand and walk with you.

The first step is often the most difficult but hope is on the horizon.

My focus as a Toledo mental health therapist is helping people face challenges head-on. I work with families who have a loved one experiencing dementia, professionals confronted with difficult career or ethical decisions, and clients struggling with PTSD. Other areas of interest include working with artists (musicians, visual artists, writers), helping family members repair damaged relationships, and guiding young adults struggling to find their way. What makes therapy successful is the relationship between the counselor and the client. When that is clicking, change happens and growth starts.

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.

Let’s face it, life can be stressful! Do you find yourself stuck in a state of worry, feeling hopeless and unable to complete the tasks of daily life, struggling with body image and eating issues, or dealing with a difficult life change? You do not need to face these issues alone! As a licensed professional clinical counselor I work with my clients to help empower them to make the changes needed to get their lives back and become their best selves! I view myself and my client as a team. Together we will work to build awareness, develop healthier skills, and move towards a more fulfilling life.

The ideal client is an individual who is open to doing their work through guided assistance from a licensed professional. This client may exhibit needs in the areas of addiction, self esteem and coping skills. A client who is willing to embark on the journey of change, the good and the bad.

No matter how we try to prevent it, life often throws challenges our way. It's okay to acknowledge life's challenges. It's okay to talk to someone about your struggles. Embrace challenge. Embrace change.

"The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." ---Socrates--- Is your life filled with the happiness that you deserve?

We will work together to transform your trials into tribulations so that you may live a life that is more satisfying.

My goal as a psychologist is to help individuals find their full potential. I strive to help clients discover their hidden strengths and areas for growth; thereby learning to more effectively face their concerns. I have extensive training and experience in psychological testing. I provide ADHD and Autism testing for adults and children. I can help clarify or differentiate a diagnosis as well. My strategy with psychological assessment is to help people understand their underlying condition and provide recommendations to help them thrive. I do not accept insurance for psychological testing but do accept insurance for ongoing therapy.
