Therapists in Bay Village, OH

God created us for the purpose of relationships and sent His Son to show us the way. At "Counseling THE WAY forward" I share basic Christian concepts and work with you to understand these concepts in the confidence they will help you nurture healthy relationships and restore your health.

Working with people to overcome their addictions, fears, and personal shortcomings has enabled me to help them achieve increased self-efficacy and tremendous personal growth. Therapy is not easy, but neither is life. I strive to help my clients realize that anything in this world worth having is worth earning. Are you ready to start your journey of self discovery today?

**Currently Accepting New Clients** You are feeling anxious and generally overwhelmed by life. On the outside you “have it all together” and are excelling, but on the inside you are struggling with standards of perfectionism that keep you from ever being happy. You are constantly questioning yourself and your ability to make decisions and handle life’s stressors. You are exhausted and sick of “the noise” that is your thoughts. You want to be be able to ENJOY your life without being consumed with anxiety and overthinking. You’re ready for a change, and I can help!

You might be wondering if counseling is right for you. Sometimes taking the first step can be the most difficult. Having the support of someone who truly empathizes and is there to listen is valuable. Through counseling you can gain a fresh perspective, learn positive ways to cope with problems and become empowered to have a more fulfilling life. Together we will formulate goals for therapy and work together to meet your specific needs. I offer a confidential, safe, non-judgmental space where you can be heard. We will focus on healing and change in a supportive and caring environment.

I start where you are. I firmly believe that life rarely unfolds in a straight line, and that we can all find our way— no matter how lost or hurt we might feel. Whether you are struggling with illness, death of a loved one, a learning problem, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, difficult family dynamics, prolonged poverty, traumatic events, or other emotional, relationship or socio-economic factors, healing can occur.

I'm Andrew, owner of Cold Creek Counseling. At Cold Creek Counseling, we believe that there are many ways to accomplish life changes. People can change their perceptions in order to view problems/issues differently. People can make changes in behavior in order to react and respond differently to problems/issues. People can make structural changes to the environment around them (where you live, where you work, the people in your life) in order to remove problems/ issues. One way or another change is possible and we can help you explore your problems / issues and open space for positive changes.

I believe that every individual is capable of creating positive change in his or her life. My role is to assist you in actively pursuing solutions for your presenting issue by exploring resources and skills you already possess. I believe in empowering you to create solutions and make decisions that will decrease negative life experiences and create a foundation for improved and continued well-being. I particularly enjoy working with individuals, couples and families during times of transition.

Creating balance in mind, body and spirit is my personal and professional mission. I have been in the counseling field for over two decades. My experience has been very extensive from working with young children in a psychiatric setting to counseling the Geriatric population in hospital and nursing home settings to educating clients on integrative therapeutic approaches like yoga. Currently, my focus has been treating women issues, depression and anxiety issues, physical illness and traumas, parenting issues, cognitive impairment and life transitions. I prefer adults but have been skilled in working with children.

I have over 30 years experience working with individuals, couples and in group settings. I originally specialized in eating disorders, while serving an internship at Baylor University Hospital. Though I continue to work with eating disordered individuals I also enjoy working with depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, bi-polar illness, anxiety, personality disorders, addiction, marital and every day "normal" stressors. I work with adults and adolescents. I also work very closely with attorneys in divorce and child custody cases.

You are irreplaceable and worthy of true joy, peace, and contentment. So, are you ready to stop wishing for change, and excited to begin the process of moving toward wellness? I am passionate about offering holistic services to my clients by addressing needs pertaining to mental, emotional, and physical health in a warm, nurturing, and motivating environment. Within our sessions you’ll be accepted rather than judged, and we’ll engage in meaningful conversations designed to enhance self-reflection and insight, leading to dramatic changes.

Hello! I'm happy you're reading my profile since there are many profiles on this website. You might ask, "How am I different from other therapists?" Well, for starters, I am a man (I can't believe how many female therapists there are on Cleveland's west side!). My chief strength is helping adults, adolescents, and children who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I have been told by my clients they feel comfortable talking with me. Some of them have described me as calm and serene (My friends would laugh at this. Outside of therapy, I can be intense and anything but serene.)

In this fast paced and ever changing world, sometimes it takes talking to someone who will not judge or draw incorrect conclusions. I am a seasoned counselor who sees the world through the eyes of the client. Through the years, I have counseled people from all walks and perspectives. I like to help others find what they need to provide stability for their unique circumstances. I feel people are the experts in their own lives. I simply help to provide the path to a more fulfilling life. I use cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques in addressing these issues.
