Teletherapy for Chillicothe, OH

Living in this world can be difficult. It can feel lonely. Sometimes it feels like no one understands. And mental health disorders only make it harder. So whether you are going through divorce, still struggling from a recent loss, angry, anxious, depressed or discouraged, you are not alone.

Your life feels heavy, hopeless, chaotic and out of control. Your mind is racing, you're exhausted from people-pleasing and your self-confidence is at an all-time low. Anxiety, depression, and stress are ruling your life, and it feels as if you may never feel peace again. You struggle with guilt, comparison, and nothing ever feels like it is enough. You have thoughts that you could never say out loud to friends and family, all the while desperate for support. You need to find yourself. Maybe you know God, maybe you are in question about who God is, or maybe it hurts to even think about God. There's so much you need to sort out.

Finding a therapist/counselor is not something we should look down upon. Life can get out of control at times and going to therapy to gain back some control is important. Your goals, visions, and dreams are important and will be taken seriously in therapy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety. depression, divorce, thinking about getting married, substance abuse, parenting, etc... getting in touch with the correct therapist will do wonders for you.

Whether past or present, we have all faced difficulties or storms in our lives that seem bigger than we can handle alone. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help, to begin a journey of healing whether your storm has passed and you are left with the aftermath or the storm is presently raging. These storms take on many names: depression, anxiety, stress, impulsivity, mood swings, anger, codependency, relationship difficulties, parenting/co-parenting/single parenting struggles, identity issues, life transitions, divorce, grief/loss, technology/social media overload, addiction/substance use. They affect people of all ages.

Are you struggling with depression or anxiety or have you experienced trauma in your past? My desire is to connect with you on a deep level through therapy to help you learn how to overcome difficult emotions. Sometimes experiencing a deeply disappointing or devastating life event might make you feel stuck and unable to move past your reactions to those painful circumstances. Being able to walk alongside you on a path towards inner healing is an honor for me as a therapist. Together we can find the peace of mind we all long for. If you are ready to start your journey towards healing, call for a free consultation.
