Therapists in Rocky River, OH

I am a sex-positive and trauma-informed therapist who helps people navigate a wide range of complex issues. I believe that everyone deserves a safe and non-judgmental space to talk about the things that matter to them. Some issues I commonly work with are trauma, sex and sexuality, sexual shame, stigmatized sexual identities, fetishes and kinks, relationship communication, healing from infidelity, consensual non-monogamy, gender expression and identity, body image issues, self-esteem, and coping with anger, anxiety, and depression.

Trust me as your Wise Counsel. Have you found yourself in the position of seeking therapy at your partner's suggestion, only to realize that perhaps it's time for your own individual therapeutic journey? Are you growing weary of waiting for change and contemplating the need to move forward, either by breaking up or taking a bold new path? Are your current habits and actions not aligning with the person you aspire to be? These are just a few of the questions my clients often explore with me. Let's embark on a collaborative journey to uncover the answers to life's profound inquiries together.

What you think is what you say. What you say is what you do. What you do continually becomes your habit. Your habits create your character; your character determines your destiny (Jeremy Anderson). Michael Wilson is a compassionate connector skilled in the art of therapy over his six years of experience aiding clients in achieving their mental health goals. To Michael, trust is crucial to the healing process. To that end, he approaches each session with a genuine and empathic desire to connect. When you're in session with Michael, you have his undivided attention. Bridging the gap between individuals and social change is his core.

Change what you can, manage what you can't (Raymond McCauley). Samantha is a compassionate helper who has worked with many different diagnoses throughout her three years of experience in mental health.

Samantha is a connector, focusing on helping as many people as she can while reducing mental health stigma and driving for change.

Hope starts here. Are you feeling sad or stressed? Do you experience mood swings but don't really know why? Maybe you've been withdrawing from family, friends, or activities that used to breathe light into your life. If you have been feeling depressed, have found yourself more angry or hostile than normal, or suffer from low energy or problems sleeping, you may have an untreated mental health issue. Mental health impacts your way of thinking, relating to others, and overall quality of life. Many issues have been identified and defined including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), etc. You don't have to suffer anymore.

I have been in clinical practice for 20 years and I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and families that are stuck in painful, old patterns and crave increased emotional, spiritual, and physical health. I am a Humanistic therapist and I approach therapy as a collaborative process in which I help you improve coping skills and gain insight about your own experience. You are the expert of your own life, and together we can cultivate new ground, and explore your personal themes in a safe, confidential environment.

As a native Spanish speaker, she is an empathic, open-minded helper focused on truly hearing English- or Spanish-speaking clients.

Does it ever feel like you have not been given the privilege to meet, and know, the best version of yourself? I hope to be your partner in self-exploration and empowerment by identifying, challenging, and shifting some of the cycles that are no longer working for you. I work to create a supportive environment that promotes your healing process through continued curiosity. A poem by Gabi Abrão notes, “As long as “why” exists, everything in this life is suspended in a sacred open-endedness.” You have the ability to know yourself fully and create a life that you love by directly engaging with all of the different parts of yourself.
