German Therapists in Oakwood, OH

Hello! You are already on your way to finding a solution to the issues that are keeping you from becoming the person you want to be. The answers that you need and want are not far away, and together we can find the best solutions that work for you!

I know finding a good fit for a therapist is hard. And finding a good fit is critical to finding relief and healing. Feeling alone in the trauma, the grief and loss, the overwhelm, and just feeling stuck. It's exhausting, lonely, and I know you're sick of it by now. You get to have some guidance, laughs, and expertise as you go to your sessions, work on YOU outside of sessions, and start feeling more whole again. As for working with me and what it's like? I've been told I'm warm and humorous (usually at my own expense). I see you as the expert and me as the guide, and I will put you at ease right off the bat.

Now Accepting New Clients! My hope for you is that you can experience Grace, Joy, Comfort and Acceptance. I provide a judgement free safe space to explore and discover your inner strengths. My therapy is client driven and I act as the guide coming along side you in your journey. My passion is supporting teens, adults and older adults towards growth and a path to wellness.

With a background in yoga, Pilates, and essential oils, I embarked on a journey to integrate holistic wellness practices into mental health counseling. My passion for holistic healing led me to pursue a career as a holistic health coach, followed by a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

At my practice, we treat a wide variety of patients. For some, it is his or her first time at therapy and there may be some trepidation about starting the process. For others, we have been one of many therapists in his or her life. Each patient brings a unique and fascinating set of thoughts, feelings and behaviors all of which require a specific method of treatment. It is wonderful work! We hope that everyone can have the chance to explore psychotherapy in his or her life, be it for a single session or many more.

I am here for you. You matter, and you are not alone. We all have times of change, challenge, or crisis that can be overwhelming. We can work together so that you can make sense of your experiences, look at what’s working and what’s not, and help you live in a way that feels right for you. I am interested in and influenced by mindfulness meditation and acceptance therapies.

Hi, I am Rob Bakker. I was born in the Netherlands and moved to the U.S. in 1998 to play soccer and tennis at Xavier University. In 2015 I was inducted into Xavier’s athletic Hall of Fame. After achieving my MBA at Xavier, I have had professional roles in business as well as in sports. I decided to combine my passion for excelling at high levels with my passion for people and completed the Mental Health Counseling program at Xavier with a focus on performance counseling.

Taking care of our emotional well-being is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves, especially when we experience the highs and lows in life. With a little bit of support, I am a firm believer that everyone can navigate through these highs and lows, but sometimes we need a helping hand to do so. I look forward to being that helping hand in getting you to your highest potential and to navigate the new stages or events of life.

I received my Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling at the University of Iowa and a Bachelor degree in Psychology with honor thesis at the same institution. I currently hold an LPCC-S license in Ohio and LCPC in Idaho.

You know this sudden rush of emotions, when your heart is racing with memories of a time long gone but not forgotten. Maybe your palms are getting damp, and you feel your throat tightening - almost choking - as you remember painful memories of either childhood abuse, a painful breakup, or other shadows of the past – it's like being caught in a storm of past pain with a ton of emotions. Life is rough and now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they should manage their relationships, careers, and lives — however, you don’t have to walk through this on your own. :)
