Therapists in Jefferson, OH

Hello and welcome! My name is Amy Freede, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 11 years of clinical experience. In my practice, I draw from a range of therapy approaches depending on your specific circumstances and symptoms, such as Anxiety, Life Transitions, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), Pregnancy/Prenatal/Postpartum, and Women's Issues. While working with various individuals, I technically use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical (DBT), Exposure Response Prevention, Interpersonal, Person-Centered, and Supportive therapies during treatment. I believe we are all trying our best.

Dr. Kelsey Shelton is a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Ohio. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Louisville and went on to obtain her Doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Shelton provides a therapeutic environment that is calm and nonjudgmental, while still challenging patients to face discomfort and create meaningful change in their lives. She believes that each person is an expert of themselves and tends to engage patients in a collaborative process.

I believe in meeting each client where they are at currently & taking time to understand each person’s unique story. You may come to a spot where you feel stuck in your story and unable to move forward. You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, weighed down, or having difficulty connecting with others. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for client's to participate in healing conversations. This space starts with a therapeutic relationship built on trust and acceptance, no matter who you are or what you are going through.

Hello! I am a Licensed Social Worker who specializes in working with children, teens, and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, conduct/defiant behaviors, and interpersonal conflicts. I also have extensive experience working with families, groups, and neurodivergent populations such as autistic people and individuals with ADHD.

Many women experience emotional challenges that manifest as anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. These symptoms may appear suddenly or over time in response to a major life occurrence. My niche clinical practice focuses on women's issues- particularly within the areas of loss and grief, physical and sexual trauma, and maternal mental health. My expertise as a grief and trauma therapist services women who experience emotional and behavioral issues in response to miscarriage, infertility, postpartum depression, and other women’s issues that involve mood disorders, anxiety and decreased relationship satisfaction.

I work to create a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment for everyone. Whether you're coping with a diagnosis or struggling with daily life stressors, I can help. I have experience treating people living with mood disorders, anxiety and trauma, and substance abuse issues as well as women's health, sexuality and sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, interpersonal relationships, and much more. I have worked with people across the gender spectrum and from all age groups. I am affirming and inclusive to women, LGBTQI+ folks, POC and other traditionally marginalized communities.

I offer a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship where we can work together toward growth and healing of life stressors and emotional struggles. I work with a variety of issues beginning in childhood through major adult life transitions, and am experienced with and committed to helping others use resources and inner strengths to transform their lives and reach desired goals. (**Because I am often in sessions with clients until 9PM, the easiest way to reach me is through texting. You may also email or leave a voicemail, but these are often answered in a less timely fashion. Thank you.)

My idea of therapy involves being empathetic, validating, and allowing you to express concerns in a calm, nurturing, and welcoming environment. My desire is to create a safe space and build a trusting therapeutic alliance in working towards accomplishing your goals. I aim to help an individual identify their goals and values and build their motivation internally and externally. I specialize in working with individual clients 18 years and older, couples who are experiencing interpersonal conflict, & marital counseling. Issues that I work with include depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship conflict, adjustment issues.

You are the expert on your life; you are the one who knows what goal you want to set up for your happiness. Do not let your stress, anxiety, depression, and self-defeating thoughts hold you back from your goal. People are often diagnosed with mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Risk factors for SUD usually include trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. Acknowledging the symptoms are often difficult, with the therapy you will find your strength, triggers, and patterns and will be able to perceive a positive world to have a successful happy life.

I am currently accepting new patients who are 18+ y/o who are located in Ohio. I offer individual counseling & IOP level of care for individuals struggling with past trauma, interpersonal relationships, emotion dysregulation, distress tolerance, and related mental health issues. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you are interested in setting up an initial appointment!

Thank you for reviewing my page, and a round of applause to you for showing up for your psychological wellbeing today. I am Dr. Psyche and I came from a multicultural background. My personal life experience and my precious encounters with a diverse clientele have taught me one of the most important elements of any effective interpersonal interactions - flexibility. I strive to offer a flexible space for the exploration of "self", a voice that may have been drowned out over time by the constant distractions surrounding us and changes that we endured, yet a voice so important that guide your actions and create the life you are living.

Maya Angelou captured the experience of life precisely when she said, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better". If you're visiting this site, you're likely hoping to find someone who can help you feel, think and/or do better in some way. When people are managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, difficult relationships, chronic pain, grief or various other challenging life circumstances it can be hard to think, feel or do better.

Life can quickly become stressful and overwhelming, especially when we are giving so much of ourselves to others. You feel tired of the way things are, or overwhelmed by the reality of what's on your plate. Is it time for you to offer yourself some of the time and attention you so graciously give to others? Maybe you have specific goals in mind, or perhaps you don't quite know what it is, but you know you want to feel differently. I offer a safe and reliable space to share and heal from past and current stressors in life and to grow into the version of yourself you'd most like to be.
