Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

Hello! You can call me Grey. I work with adults with a range of needs including but not limited to: sexuality and gender, mood concerns, trauma-related concerns, grief & loss, and substance abuse. Finding a counselor that fits you can be a challenge. Every counselor is different, and the research tells us that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of counseling for positive outcomes. My goal is to work with you collaboratively to achieve the changes you want to see in your life.

Do you often feel like you're not sure where you fit into the world, whether it's due to neurodivergence, gender, or sexuality? Do you struggle with understanding a world that is full of systems that don't honor the unique person you are, and the challenges you have? Therapy is typically a place for working through issues of anxiety, depression, and trauma, but these things can stem from systems that don't work for us, or social constructs that hold us back, like constructs around gender identity, sexuality, or disability.

You appear driven and well put together from the outside, but you struggle on the inside. You want relief from the anxiety and fear getting in your way. It is starting to feel unmanageable. Perhaps the anxiety is the result of something in your past that you did not feel prepared for or felt ill-equipped to handle; Like something that left you feeling blind-sided, overwhelmed, powerless, helpless, uncomfortable, or unsafe. If your life is inhibited by your past in any way, this is the right place for you. I can help you feel what is on the other side of the anxiety and fear: peace, connection, your authentic self.

The dictionary defines "wayward" as difficult, headstrong, or disobedient. As a slang term, however, wayward often refers to someone who doesn't conform to what's "typical," and who forges their own unique path. My goal as a therapist is to help you find your best and most authentic self, whatever that means for you.
