Alzheimer's Therapists in Muskingum County, OH

My current practice includes a focus on mental health needs for adults and young adults. I have past experience working in a nursing home setting so I am well versed in Alzheimer's and Dementia Care and Behaviors as well as family and caregiver needs for that population.

I am a Clinical Neuropsychologist with expertise in the assessment and diagnosis of cognitive changes from a variety of neurologic disorders including traumatic brain injury (TBI), Stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, FTD, Multiple Sclerosis, and Epilepsy. Prior to moving back to Ohio and establishing an independent practice, I was the Director of Neuropsychology at the Yale School of Medicine Comprehensive Epilepsy Program. I have conducted several independent medical evaluations (IMEs) and have testified as an expert witness in multiple TBI cases. I consult for multiple neurorehabilitation facilities throughout Ohio.

Life can bring about many obstacles - whether stressors or a medical condition - and a therapist can facilitate change or healing. Through psychotherapy, we can journey towards growth and peace, to improve your adjustment to an illness or stressor, anxiety, depression, trauma, or a spiritual crisis. If you have cognitive difficulties, we can develop cognitive rehabilitation and executive skills to strengthen your mental abilities to engage in home and work. At times, neurological injury brings behavioral changes. We can jointly develop a behavioral plan to manage behaviors to improve relationships and ensure safety.

Hi, I'm Jenny, a compassionate master’s level licensed social worker specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and strengths-based therapy. I help clients and their families who experience trauma, grief, anxiety, or depression. My mission is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself and work towards meaningful change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad, or anxious about life stressors? Is your marriage not quite where you would like it to be? Are you struggling with unhealthy communication? If so, I'm here to help you improve your life circumstances. My goal as a therapist is to help clients become more aware of and better understand their emotional responses to stressful life changes. I will introduce and teach communication tools to improve relationships and self esteem. Whether the struggle is with your spouse, life partner, child, or boss, these tools make it possible for you to feel healthy and happy.

Stressed, Overwhelmed, Trouble Coping? Have you been suffering from depression, stress, grief, trauma, mental or emotional issues? Symptoms can include but are not limited to: feeling sad, lonely, irritable, poor concentration, and anger. Life has many different obstacles that can cause difficulty functioning and completing activities related to daily living.

It can be scary to reach out and make that first call; but, I will try to reduce those fears. My experience is diverse; but specialized in particular areas. I have extensive work in child welfare and working with physically and sexually abused children and their families, inpatient psychiatric units at Crisis Center and Geriatric Unit, been in private practice for over 20 years, and started working with Transgender persons 24 years ago as part of treatment team. I continue the same integrated process for a referral to physicians/surgerons for HRT or GRS while abiding to WPATH-7 standards.

Hi, I am glad you have made the decision to seek help. That shows incredible courage and motivation. Are you feeling anxious and depressed? Maybe questioning how to go forward in a confusing season of your life? Are you struggling to understand why you are easily thrown off course? Or perhaps have you found it painful to live in your body in the present moment? You do not have to figure it out alone. We can work together to create a path to well-being, ease and a life worth living.

You just want to feel better. Trauma has turned you into someone you don’t even recognize. You’re constantly on edge and can’t sleep. If sleep does come, it’s often restless and filled with nightmares. Your creativity, performance, and professionalism is suffering. You often feel tremendous guilt and shame; no one understands what it's like. Or maybe you stuff the hurt, pain, and disappointment down deep inside so no one sees it. You know how to put on a good, happy face for others. The emptiness and loneliness seem unbearable. Or maybe this describes your loved one who you can’t seem to reach no matter how hard you try.

Lauren welcomes everyone as her client, and those most excited to work with her will be the explorers of the universe, deep-soul divers, pioneers of creative frontiers, and those willing to be real with themselves while seeking a better life. Lauren excels at assisting with many issues, especially those involving trauma or loss. She loves to be there for people as part of the solution and she knows how hard it is to try to do it alone.

(Currently not available for new clients) Your life story is full of successes and struggles, pain and joy, and we can work together to create a life that has meaning and that makes you proud. I will provide a safe space of acceptance for you to figure out who you are and who you want to be, without pressure or judgement. Through your courage, hard work, and vulnerability, you can reach your treatment goals.

Living in balance is the ongoing goal I hope for my clients. Whether it be to repair relationships, working on achieving your personal best, learning to handle mental illness, moving towards forgiveness, or handling life changes, we can always move towards making positive changes to live a more satisfying life.

My ideal client is ready to do the hard work of making real change in their life. Sometimes, people think change has to be big to start therapeutic services; it doesn’t. Sometimes, learning to breathe, decrease anxiety, and be more mindful of your strengths can become a great asset. Therapy doesn’t have to be forever; sometimes, you just need help getting through the now. I help individuals & families dealing with chronic illnesses and end of life. At times like those, crises often happen: medical conflict, spiritual conflict, familial conflict, financial concerns, housing and food insecurity.

I offer person-centered care tailored to each client’s needs with vast experience in diagnostic assessment. I am also committed to ongoing education in an effort to best understand and serve my clients. Currently, I am studying traumatic stress and its effects on the brain and body through the Trauma Research Foundation founded by Bessel Van der Kolk, MD.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.
