Therapists in Bryan, OH

I value diversity and multiculturalism. I also believe in the importance of creating safe spaces in which every individual can feel comfortable sharing their innermost thoughts, feelings, life experiences, and vulnerabilities without fear of prejudice or judgment.

You are not a problem to be solved. In a warm, professional, and safe environment, I can help you learn to better handle your emotional or psychological pain with compassion while developing the skills and resources to make positive changes in your life. I utilize a nonjudgmental approach with open curiosity and evidence-based interventions to overcome obstacles and help you achieve a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Hello! My name is Ava Donnersbach (she/her/hers). I am committed to helping youth (age seven and up), college students, and young to middle-aged adults using collaboration, strengths, and genuine empathy. For youth, I work conjointly with parents/guardians to ensure a well-rounded service that meets your child’s needs. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Bowling Green State University. I can assist you with a variety of social, emotional, and/or behavioral needs including anxiety, depression, self-harm, adjustment challenges, stress, grief, ADHD, and more.

Living your best life can be challenging, especially when upsetting and confusing things happen suddenly or continue over time. These stressful events often cause people to feel changed or different than before the stress. You may feel stuck, or that your life has become unmanageable. I will be your guide, your instructor, and your trusted counselor as you develop the strengths you need to work on the deeper issues that may be holding you back. I work well with adults of all ages using a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to help you learn effective skills to calm the body and soothe the mind.

In my work as a clinician, I utilize a creative and strengths based approach in helping clients identify their own path towards a whole versus fragmented sense of self. My goal in therapy is to empower the client to develop the capacity and skills to move past their suffering into a greater sense of well-being, peace and freedom.

Life stressors, chronic illness, relationship struggles, and underlying trauma can often lead to anxiety, depression, overwhelm and distress. I believe we all do the best we can at any given moment; however, sometimes we all need additional support to help us re-engage our strength to tackle our emotional pain and heal. Therapy isn't about ridding ourselves of our human experience, but to help us be our best self in spite of it.

Hello! My name is Donna Murray and I look forward to connecting with you. I’ve had the joy of working in the counseling field for over 25 years in multiple settings including: private practice, inpatient and outpatient, home-based, school-based and residential detox. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the states of Ohio, West Virginia and North Carolina and have been offering counseling services since 1996. Currently, I also serve on the West Virginia Certification Board for Addiction & Prevention Professionals.

I believe that stronger self-awareness better equips individuals to set goals and make choices that affirm integrity, authenticity, and wholeness. As a clinician, I hope to create a safe environment where all can come to know themselves more fully and implement practical steps to live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

I do individual and couple therapy. I am often a good fit for clients who want to integrate a spiritual perspective into therapy. By spiritual I mean living authentically, finding deep purpose, forgiving oneself and others, having compassion for yourself and others in the face of life's inevitable challenges, and seeing the sacred in the ordinary. I work with people of different faiths and those with no particular belief. I mix creativity, humor, and metaphors into therapy and encourage "daily practice for the rest of your life" to keep growth going long after therapy concludes. Check out some videos about my approach on my website.

With over 25 years' experience working with clients across the lifespan and numerous social and cultural backgrounds, I aim to provide a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and most importantly, get answers. My focus of treatment is of CPTSD, or complex trauma, which is a condition brought on by chiildhood traumas that were ongoing and of multiple dimensions. With a combination of DBT skills, trauma work and lots of just listening, I can help you to free yourself from trauma-related beliefs and reactions that are holding you back from living a productive and satisfying life.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+.

I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.
