You're looking for a therapist because you feel stuck in your head. When people ask you what you want in life, you are at a loss. You feel completely overwhelmed by your worries and fears. Not to mention you feel stuck in a cycle of doubting yourself, which keeps you feeling frozen. Anxiety is an extremely painful experience, and you are not alone. I specialize in helping you get out of your own way and experience (and discover!) the life that you truly desire.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I often work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. I take a collaborative and relational approach to counseling. I can offer a warm and safe space for exploration and growth. The populations I am best suited to work with are individuals who are motivated toward healthier intrapersonal development, clients interested in creating stronger interpersonal connections, as well as women in destructive relationships.

Are you working with a little anxiety (or really maybe alot actually) or depression? What about a mood disorder? Encountered trauma? Are you in the perinatal period, a new parent and are looking to feel empowered from the feeling of postpartum anxiety, or depression or birth trauma? As a therapist I can always appreciate the vulnerability that a person can have when seeking out therapy, so it is my goal to make you feel at ease when you show up to work on any or all of these things at your pace.

Every step taken in the pursuit of happiness, health, and wellness is a gift you give to yourself and to those around you. Making the first steps toward necessary change can be difficult, but with every step comes growth, awareness and renewed balance. Life presents us with so many challenges and finding support during these difficult times can be very helpful. I will encourage you to identify and draw from the internal strengths you have as well as introducing you to the therapeutic approaches that guide my practice to assist you in coping with the challenges you are experiencing.

Have you experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use concerns? Do you recognize struggles with self worth, or feeling like you can't stay grounded and present in your everyday life? These can be very difficult emotions and problems to navigate, and therapy can help. I believe healing takes place through our relationships with others, and I provide a judgement free safe space to help this happen. I love to work with adolescents (16+) and adults on their own healing journey and guide you in finding your own strength in the process.

If your tween (9-12) or teen (13-18) is having a hard time with… well life, I am here for them! I loves to work with tweens, teens, and families to help manage sticky situations like anxiety or depression, help with navigating relationships, managing stress, understanding big life changes, and much more. I believe that each person already has what they need to heal, but it sometimes our "okay-ness" gets stuck under layers of self-protection and hurt. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that involves peeling back layers of protection so you and/or your teen can get back to your true authentic selves!

Life can be challenging and difficult to navigate, especially without support. During the therapeutic process, I look at how our environment, life experience, and current relationships have an impact on the decisions we make. I work with adults and young adults individually and in couples from all walks of life and belief systems who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, personality disorders, adjustment issues, anger management, relationship issues, and more by using evidenced-based approaches and interventions/techniques.

Openings available for in-person or telehealth sessions. Therapy is an invitation to begin where you are, just as you are. My first goal is to listen well and to seek to understand you. While my training includes many therapeutic approaches informed by research, I see therapy most of all as a creative process that unfolds within a genuine relationship. I believe that good therapy is flexible and responsive - it can be gentle and compassionate, serious and tough, and sometimes even very funny.

I help people work through the difficulties that come when our emotional lives or relationships are upset. I work to help you identify and address the patterns in relationships and the feelings that can leave us depressed, anxious, disconnected; grieving. My role is to listen to your story with care and attention, seeking to understand what has happened. This may lead me to share my ideas about how I see and understand you and what you bring in to talk about. Together we work to resolve the difficulties you are having by helping you connect with yourself and others.

For 16 years I've provided support & counseling to highly diverse students, faculty, and staff at a large university, in a large health care system, for a domestic violence center, and currently through virtual individual therapy. From growing up in a small town with a deep love for family and appreciation for nature to raising my own family and continuing my own personal journey, it has been my passion to support healthy self-development, secure and safe relationships, adjustment to life challenges, and optimal well-being.

I believe that it is the health in you, your hope that life can be better, that is motivating you to seek therapy. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, a personal crisis or any other number of issues, but it is your desire to live and to thrive that is ultimately leading you to take this step. I believe that my role as therapist is to be actively engaged with you in the process of building on that health and hope, to create a richer, fuller life.

Hey there! Sometimes we just need someone to be in our corner and remind us that we are not alone. Life can be really hard to navigate and even harder when we experience any level of grief, harm, mental illness or trauma. My goal is to be present with you, just as you are with no expectation to be anything other than yourself. I provide a non-judgmental space where all parts of you are honored and can be expressed. I am here to be on your team as you navigate through the healing process. I feel endlessly fortunate to be able to walk alongside others as they find their own power and embrace their most authentic self.

Openings this week and weekend appointments! I'm Melissa, a Licensed Social Worker, in Ohio and Michigan; with a Master's Degree in Social Work that I obtained from Cleveland State University. I hold a Pupil Services Social Worker registration as well, which allows me to practice in a school setting. I have always wanted to help people, and I never realized how I could tie that into a career path and love my job so that it didn't feel like work. I stepped into the world of counseling 11 years ago and haven't looked back. I believe that the key to therapy is meeting clients where they are at and recognizing that change takes courage.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
