Therapists in Cleveland, OH

As a sex positive counselor, I believe that sexuality should be a normal part of conversation. I work with individuals and couples (both in non-monogamous and polygamous relationships) and work with members of the LGBTQIA plus population. Specifically, I work with those navigating sexual dysfunction/pain, purity culture recovery, infidelity, and marriage and premarital counseling. I am a member of AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. Additionally, I work with and welcome clients of all faith backgrounds or no faith at all.

My goal is to create a safe and affirming space to facilitate growth and self-exploration and to support and meet you where you are in life. Together, we can look into what brought you into counseling, take your values into consideration and help build coping and mindfulness skills in order to navigate life or manage stress. I tend to use ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR skills in my practice as well. Sometimes we need a safe and unbiased space to go to in order to talk about what we are going through and to encourage growth in new ways. It’s important to take care of our mental health just as we take care of our physical health.

Hello, I’m Victoria! My goal in counseling is to walk alongside my clients and help them discover the tools and skills necessary to navigate through their lives.

Hi, I am Kelly and I empower you to cultivate your growth and well-being! Don't you wish you had someone to listen and help you make sense of the overwhelming thoughts, feelings, and stressors in your life, and come up with a plan of action that will help you improve your mental health?

I am accepting new clients! I am passionate about helping adults overcome anxiety, depression, and interpersonal difficulties. My goal is to help you feel more confident and support you as you practice new tools to improve your coping and communication skills.

Deciding to seek therapy may coincide with intensely difficult circumstances. A key goal is to help you build a sense of confidence in your ability to both change and heal. Even negative emotions and actions can guide us toward wellness when they are reflected upon in a safe and confidential relationship with a therapist.Together, we will explore how your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings affect you in the here and now and also how they have come to be. I offer a straightforward and thoughtful approach that values and accepts the complex facets of what makes us who we are.

We are evolving people living at the intersections of multiple identities. To discover our own power within our identities, we have an opportunity to learn more about who we are and how we relate. Whether it’s exploring your grief within a loss or learning new skills in improving your intimate relationships, I strive to provide equitable care, which includes considering how structural racism and racial identity impacts the wellness of individuals. I would love to learn more about your story.

Therapy is a way toward health and healing. I practice holistic and Gestalt oriented psychotherapy using awareness, present moment, depth and existential perspectives to help you find inner resources to get through problems or expand your potential. Together we will find what works for you.

I want to show clients how to become self sufficient to obtain knowledge, attitudes and skills through counseling them on their mental health issues so that they can have access to resources to make adequate decisions about how to live healthier lifestyles. I want to teach them to know the limitations about consequences and my goal is to make them more aware, knowledgeable and skilled in resources to help them meet their other daily needs. Once clients can fulfill their daily needs, they can more effectively build competencies necessary to become successful and productive people.

If you are looking to work through grief, shame, anxiety, or any other heaviness you're carrying, you've come to the right place. I know therapy is a process- a and a difficult one at times- and I am hoping we can build a collaborative relationship that fosters an environment for healing and growth.

Something is not feeling right or going the way you would like it to in your life. Maybe its depression or anxiety, a relationship that has gone sour, maybe you feel stuck or confused, lost or just plain not content with how things are going. You would like a change, a goal to be reached, or to better understand yourself or someone else. I believe I can help with these types of challenges. Being a therapist is not just a job to me. The relationship of client and therapist gives me a feeling of profound awe and respect, and often love. I love my job and I love that maybe, just maybe, I can help you embody the change you are seeking.

I work with children, adolescents and adults. With children and adolescents, I do individual treatment and family consultation. The issues I work with include developmental concerns and adjustment problems, e.g., socialization, loss, divorce. I reinforce my work with children by strengthening parenting skills. I collaborate with schools as needed. My work with adults and the elderly includes life cycle issues, stress, depression and anxiety.

Trauma is a catalyst that can either bind us in grief or propel us toward greatness. By accepting what cannot be changed and learning how to properly cope with what is, we can all live a life we envision. In my experience as a therapist, I have noticed the impact grief, loss and trauma can have on an individual's psyche. With that being said, I have also noticed- and have profound appreciation for- the innate resilience evidenced in the healing process. For the past 10 years, I’ve worked tirelessly in community mental health, school based and psychiatric sites where I provided individual, family, and group therapy.

Do you want to learn how to use tools that can help you feel in control of your emotions instead of your emotions controlling you and getting in the way of you living your life. I can help you process the thoughts and feelings that make life feel harder than it needs to be. Not everyone's mind functions the same way and that's a beautiful thing but that also means that the way people cope with life also has to be individualized. I can help you learn how to embrace who you are by exploring the right tools that address the areas of your life that you are struggling with so you can lead a life that is fulfilling to you.
