Is the thought of life itself overwhelming or are past experiences holding you back? Whether you are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, PTSD, depression, family challenges, I offer therapy tailored to address your needs. I utilize evidence based therapies, such as CBT and CPT, which help clients explore and change thought patterns that impact their emotional status. If you are ready to make positive changes in your life, I would be honored to help you in your process.
My name is Mary Jo. I am a social worker licensed in Ohio and Virginia with 19 years of experience. I have worked with children, teens, and adults in community based programs, schools, and private practice. My specialties include helping individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, and PTSD. I utilize therapy methods proven to decrease symptoms.
It can be overwhelming and intimidating to seek help, but once you take that step you are closer to a brighter future. I take pride in providing an open minded, non-judgmental approach to address concerns and issues that are preventing you from reaching your fullest potential. I am here to support you in that process. I am an ally for those who are LGBTQ+.
