Codependency Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

Prior to the start of my career I knew, “I want to help people,” and that is now my primary therapy goal with you. I really enjoy working with individuals who are healing from trauma, relational hurt, or just some of the natural hurt and confusion that comes with each stage of life. I also enjoy helping individuals as they evolve and discover themselves and various aspects of their identity and am passionate about multiracial identity development. Therefore, I see individuals for a wide variety of presenting problems, including trauma, anxiety, depression, identity development, multiracial issues, and much more.

Do you feel connected and passionate within yourself? With your partner? My professional focus is in helping individuals and couples develop deeply connected, intimate and vibrant relationships with their partner and within themselves. I have found that a committed couple can often work through hurt, misunderstanding, and loneliness to find a relationship that feels safe, loving, and deeply engaged. I work in an open, encouraging, and emotionally attuned style that respects each partner's experience, which can then help to dissolve painful, disconnecting cycles and develop new enlivening, loving, and connected ways of relating.

All of us have a story - and we all tell stories. I believe that the stories we tell about ourselves and others hold a heavy hand in our quality of life and the way that we view the world around us. I am passionate about counseling because I yearn to create space where others feel safe to explore and discover their authentic self – to feel heard, seen, and known. Throughout our sessions, I will create space for every part of you and will help you to discover and re-write the stories that no longer serve you.

Hello! My name is Heidi and I'm a mom and a veteran of the US Air Force. I enjoy meeting and working with people who want a better life for themselves and for their family. Life is stressful and many times situations or relationships are thrust upon us that we have little control over, but those who seek out help, who want to learn healthier ways to cope and who want relief from the rut of negative thought patterns or relationships are the people I'm here for. The only necessities are to reach out for help and be ready to start on your path to wellness!

I have been the owner of Positive Pathways since 2000. I am passionate about meeting clients right where they are and journeying with them. I utilize a total acceptance approach by helping each client understand his/her needs through the language of non-violent communication. I am open to everyone and love to work with shedding new light on situations through my logical approach and unconditional positive regard.. I am a former adoptive parent and have 2 birth children. I home-school them. I specialize in adoption and attachment work. I work with Theophostic for healing of deep trauma.

Life is a journey. Your journey and personal life experiences mean everything- the blessings as well as the traumas. When there are unhealed wounds of the past, it is hard to feel safe in the world, secure with ourselves or in relationships with others. As a result, we often experience anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I offer a gentle, non-intrusive, compassionate and safe space for you to begin the healing process to live your most meaningful life. “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”

The process of effective therapy requires a space of safety and protection. You typically sit across from a therapist at your most vulnerable opening up about what is truly painful and unbearable. Do you trust this therapist will not judge or condemn you? Will you wonder if they understand your experience and have the ability to help you solve the problems at the center of your pain? An effective therapist has to successfully create and hold this safe and non-threatening space while exploring alongside you without judgment.

It's hard to know where to begin, right? Everyone thinks that you have it all together, but you’re feeling lost. You need to make some changes. But how? It can be exhausting to even get through the day. You manage so much - a career, home life, family, relationships, finances…the list goes on and on - but rarely do you put yourself at the top of the list. You're feeling the pressure of it all. This rapid pace has worked well for you and you’ve had your share of success, but it’s just not working for you anymore. Something has to give, but you don’t know exactly where to begin. Therapy can be a meaningful start towards healing.

I have expanded my hours and have immediate availability! We are bombarded daily with messages of stigma, judgments, injustices, -isms, and fear. Yet, wellness is possible. I believe wellness and personal growth are best pursued within a trusting, judgment-free, safe, open, empathic, and honest therapy relationship. To build those relationships, I'm fully committed to exploring and understanding each client's perspective, background, culture, values, lifestyle, and choices. In our work together, I hope to help my clients discover their strengths and learn the skills necessary to develop lives they want to live.

Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.

Something in your life isn’t working right now. Maybe it’s a close relationship where you don’t feel seen or understood. Maybe something happened that you can’t get out of your head, and every time your mind wanders back to it, you feel a tightening in your chest. Maybe you’re doing something that you know is holding you back, but you just can’t seem to stop. Whatever it is, something in your life is keeping you from feeling at peace and excited to wake up in the morning. Take a moment and think about what your day would look like if you felt seen in your relationships and free from trauma and addiction. Let's make that reality.

I love walking alongside people as they realize their own resilience and strength. I am passionate about working collaboratively with my clients to find the best ways of helping them heal, grow, and thrive. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages on a variety of different topics, such as adjustment, attachment, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and emotional regulation, but I have a great love for working with survivors of trauma, abuse, and those who are experiencing loss.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

I am a Black male psychologist who has worked in private practice for nearly a decade. My clientele has consisted of individuals presenting with the following issues: mood, anxiety, sexuality, grief and loss, the coming out process of Black men, stigma, and chronic medical issues (HIV/AIDS)...to name a few. I strive to create an atmosphere of acceptance and trust within my practice. It is my belief that these areas are critical building blocks to foster, create, and nurture our clinical relationship to help you reach your optimal goals.

Hello and welcome! It takes a lot of courage to consider getting support for a better life. I hope to be able to help. One of my goals in counseling is to facilitate growth and development through compassionate understanding and research-based solutions. I believe that authentic and productive change begins by establishing trust in the counseling relationship. This is the foundation on which I work with clients, as we talk about issues in their past, develop skills for overcoming present challenges, and create a new, more hopeful future together.

To me, at the core of psychotherapy, is creating a working alliance with the client in a safe, perfection-free, and respectful environment. I help individuals better understand their internal emotional worlds, learn more about why they do the things they do, help them to decide for themselves what changes they would like to make in their lives, and give them guidance and support in how to do so.

My areas of focus include treating adolescents & adults with anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. I am very passionate about helping my patients overcome guilt, shame and self-esteem issues. I incorporate a lot of DBT skills into sessions, helping patients build distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal communication skills - along with how to apply these skills to their life. I help couples work on communication, validation and empathy as a starting point to resolve their conflict. I'm a believer in the value of developing a structure, schedule and routine to help build a life worth living.

It is exceedingly courageous to acknowledge the pain you carry and take the first step towards healing. Seeking out help presents daunting searches that require a sense of vulnerability and I hope to bring support through each of these steps. My primary goal is to provide a safe space for each individual - as this is the most important element of the therapeutic process - and from that foundation work collaboratively with you to build into your sense of agency, autonomy, and innate resilience as a human being.
