Anthem Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

I am a solution focused provider who believes in creating an environment where a client can address or explore those issues that are important to them. Specialties include couple's counseling and substance abuse related problems. As an openly gay man I also focus on providing support to gay, bisexual and transgender men though my practice is open to everyone.

Therapy is about the process of change: Your change. Whether you wish to manage a life challenge; improve your mental health; heal from trauma; or address addictive behaviors, my role is to assist you in your journey. Importantly, we establish a therapeutic relationship, which is one that you feel safe and thus able to open up about your concerns, inner experiences, and life situations. We will engage in treatment goal setting, guided by the problems and concerns you have, as well as your aspirations for change and growth.

Whether you’re only considering going to therapy or ready to call and schedule today, I’m glad you’re here and looking into taking a major step toward improving your life. I believe it is so important to find a therapist who you are able to connect with. I work with teens, young adults, and “millennials” through a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, life direction, adjustment and transitions, self-esteem, and stress management.

Taking care of our emotional well-being is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves, especially when we experience the highs and lows in life. With a little bit of support, I am a firm believer that everyone can navigate through these highs and lows, but sometimes we need a helping hand to do so. I look forward to being that helping hand in getting you to your highest potential and to navigate the new stages or events of life.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or just struggling to keep up with work, family and find time to take care of yourself? I'm Karen and I have over 20 years of experience empowering people to overcome obstacles that inhibit growth and fulfillment and manage symptoms of anxiety and depression. I completed my Master's degree in Social Work from New York University, and this year obtained an MBA from Kent State University. I am a certified cognitive behavioral therapist as well as a yoga instructor with specialization in trauma sensitive yoga. I enjoy merging therapy and mindfulness to illicit healing and a sense of balance.

When anxiety looks different for every person and approaches are not a "one size fits all," it makes managing your anxiety even harder. We often use tools to help us cope, but sometimes these tools aren't enough. Whether you are managing generalized anxiety, panic attacks, peripartum anxiety, postpartum anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, anxiety is a complex and overwhelming emotion that affects nearly every aspect of our daily lives. As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), my work incorporates evidence-based practices in an authentic environment where you, your insights, and your goals are valued.
