Therapists in Ohio

Wellness for the culture isn’t just a catchphrase; it is my form of activism. I am committed to nurturing the mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of Black people, particularly women and femmes. I understand the unique challenges you face - from code switching to grappling with the “strong Black woman” syndrome that often silences your pain. My vision is for you to achieve your definition of success without sacrificing your well-being. To build a relationship with yourself that embodies exquisite care, compassion, and consideration without shame. I want to help you learn how to prioritize rest and pleasure, without guilt.

Not feeling heard or understood by your significant other? Is defensiveness a primary reason for many of the issues you're having? One of the primary desires people have, is to feel like they've been heard, understood and validated. Yet, very few people do. The reason is because many of us have under-developed listening skills. Resolving this key problem area will help address many issues and actually restore relationships to a place where they are actually growing and thriving.

Hello, I would like to help you see what you have within. It can be tricky to acknowledge all we have and see beyond our current situation when we are suffering, wanting to change, dealing with stress, and all life throws at us. I will meet you where you are at with your journey/recovery/issues, assist you with where you want to go, and who you want to be.

It’s amazing how different life can look when we shift our focus. A fresh perspective and a change of perception can go a long way for old habits and patterns of thinking. Renewing our minds is transformative! Whether this a tough season for you or you feel like you’ve been in the wilderness all of your life, change can happen. Truth be told, counseling is hard work. Showing up for yourself is hard and confronting areas you need to change is hard. Staying the same is hard…to all of that, we do our best to "choose our hard"! You don't have to do this alone! Relationship concerns? Anxiety? Depression? Divorce, etc? All of the above?

The world is not built for kind, empathic people. It can wear you down fast and even faster without the right skills. Stress builds up and becomes anxiety: your mind runs amok with worry and doubt. You question your worth. You relive trauma- did you deserve it? Were they right about you? Why did it happen? Relationships are difficult because they require trust and vulnerability. How could a partner understand you when you can't? You're told finding purpose helps, but you don't know yours. Right now, there isn't even room to think about it. It's all too much. It may be too much on your own,but with guidance this can be healed

When I meet with clients for the first time I often ask them the question "How would you know counseling was working for you?" Commonly, the client will begin to discuss a different experience they would like to have in their life. This may be in a relationship, career stressors, a life transition, loss/grief or around overwhelming emotions like anxiety, depression, loneliness, guilt, or fear.  Answering this question helps us to gain clarity about what you want to experience in your life and begin the process of bringing it to fruition. My mission is to best serve your needs and help you to move toward your vision for the future.

Hello, I am a trauma therapist as well as a life coach. My favorite approach to helping others to overcome trauma is with EMDR.

During our lifetime, we have experiences that may cause us to unravel or become distracted from the course of life.

Life can present us with difficulties and events that challenge our well-being and impact our ability to manage our life circumstances. There are times when we need guidance, support or assistance with processing these events, our thoughts and feelings, or help with making difficult life decisions. I provide counseling and therapy with a warm, caring and empathic approach. I highly value patient confidentiality, trust, understanding, and recovery. I believe that it is -in -and through the strong working relationship that develops between the client and the counselor that the healing of issues is achieved and the clients' goals are mastered.

You can thrive in any situation you encounter, and getting there is a lot simpler than you might think it is and without the necessity of a lot of techniques, routines, or willpower exertion.
