Teletherapy for Northside - Cincinnati, OH

At Authentic Life Counseling, I utilize a variety of evidence based therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with individuals ages 14 and up to address general mental health concerns, with a special focus on culturally diverse populations and boys/men. In my experience, I have helped individuals tackle issues of masculinity, cultural identity, dual-culture relationships, while helping rediscover their purpose in life. It is my passion to help individuals gain an understanding and acceptance of themselves, using a culturally sensitive therapeutic approach.

Hi. You have tried so hard! You've gone to therapy, maybe even for years, but nothing has really worked. You’ve tried workbooks, followed instagram accounts, all of it. I’m at my best as a therapist when working with clients who have found traditional talk therapy helpful at first, but eventually, ineffective. Therapists are not magic, but you have the medicine inside you to heal yourself, from trauma, broken relationships, all of it. I love working with helpers, including fellow therapists, and folks who are ready to be their own healers.

Therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender preference, trauma history, mental or physical health challenges or income. That is why I keep my fees low. Psychotherapy can help you move through difficult times and losses. It can help you identify your personal barriers to change and help you develop tools to enhance your future. I can see clients by telehealth in both Ohio and Florida.

We all have a story. It is a story we have been telling our whole lives. We add to this story with each new encounter and context. Sometimes our stories get warped by any number of life factors, and we can lose our sense of self. I see therapy as an opportunity to unravel and examine the story of you, to get to the “why” of you.

I imagine you are here because you are feeling lost, alone, and unsure of what to do next. You might be wondering whether you'll ever feel happy again, and utterly frustrated for feeling so low for so long. You are not alone.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you answer the "why can't I..." questions. "Why can't I seem to get a handle on my anxiety or depression?", "why can't I seem to get out of these cycles of relationships, jobs, friendships?", "why can't I seem to get rid of these negative thoughts?". A lot of times these questions can feel like running in circles. But what if it wasn't a circle, but a labyrinth where you hit a few dead ends and need some help getting back on track? If those questions keep you up at night, my aim is to create a supportive and engaging space where we can explore these together.

Anxious, angry, depressed, feeling considerably less than happy thoughts about family, spouse or significant other, career? Let's discuss some ways to cope and better enjoy these people. My help can assist you in bettering your outlook and participation in these relationships. Psychotherapy is therapeutic and educational and requires a treatment plan we develop together. Coaching is educational only. INTERESTED? Please go to my website : Dr. MichaelFLandwehr@ thedoctorsin.org for more information. Thank you for your interest. Please call at 513-436-0510. Whatever you decide, thank you, and thrive; not just survive!

PS Wellness provides sex therapy for individuals, couples and diverse relationship systems (ethical non-monogamy - ENM). As an AASECT certified sex therapist, my intention is to be inclusive, purposeful and down to earth in serving clients through a sex positive lens. It is essential to form the therapeutic relationship by embracing one’s unique worldviews, beliefs and values on the path to change. In this approach, my aim is to empower clients by helping them better understand their genuine selves and thus evolving through this understanding. From sexual anxiety to sexual liberation and everything in between, we are here to help.

Currently accepting new clients! Getting to know, coming to understand, and work with people in all walks of life is what I love to do. To me therapy is an opportunity for you to improve what is helping you achieve your goals, and rethink things that may be getting in your way. While we will do work as a team, I will always insist that you are the expert on yourself, and that you lead the way. I am interested in working with anxiety, mood disorders, stress, and self-esteem. I am also LBGTQ friendly!

From the outside, most people would think that nothing is wrong, but deep down you know that you're not feeling like yourself. In your daily life, you often pretend to be someone you’re not, all the while feeling anxious, panicky, or unhappy inside. This feeling can manifest itself through general anxiety, panic attacks, depression, anger, and other ways. You’ve tried to push those feelings away, or even bury them deep down, but over time they keep coming back, surfacing in unpleasant ways and it is having a negative effect on your daily life.
