Relationship Issues Therapists in Cleveland, OH

Hello, my name is Alexandria Carlson and I’m an LPCC living in Toledo Ohio. I love what I do and am passionate in my mission to help my clients discover themselves, find hope & eventually thrive. While there are commonalities to any mental health diagnosis, I also believe each person has their own individual experience and honor that in treatment. I have been working with those diagnosed with depression, anxiety, eating disorders & many other mental health problems for 7 + years. I utilize evidence-based practices & consistently monitor progress over the course of treatment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or struggling with self-worth? You want a supportive, empathetic therapist to help you navigate these emotions and life challenges. Your goal is to feel valued, understood, and empowered to overcome hurdles. You seek a therapist who listens deeply and provides a non-judgmental space for self-discovery and growth.

We can all feel overwhelmed, isolated, the loss of "normal," or battling the weight of not feeling good enough. Please know you're not alone. I provide a supportive environment for those navigating these challenging emotions and life situations. Together, we'll embark on a journey toward healing and self-discovery. We will work together to increase understanding and empower you to overcome these hurdles. You deserve to feel valued and supported.

I believe that life’s truest purpose is a journey toward wholeness - toward our center. However, it seems inevitable that at some point in everyone's life, the thread that connects us to our deepest center becomes frayed or lost. We may experience this as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, physical illness, feeling "stuck", and more. Work with me is process of exploring the possible meaning and value of these symptoms. Together we will work to find out if these painful experiences have deeper meaning.

Do you struggle with unmanageable emotions, self criticism, burnout, relationship problems, or pain related to physical ailments? Perhaps you are feeling stuck, or like your best is not good enough. Maybe you are seeking guidance to help meet your goals. I am dedicated to supporting your journey home - to yourself. This journey of life is not about arriving anywhere specific but more about acquiring awareness and tools to support you on your path. The therapeutic connection I offer supports the uncovering of whatever isn’t you so that your most authentic, joyful self can emerge and thrive.

No matter what your life challenges are, I believe each one of us possesses the means to heal, grow, become stronger and thrive. My role as a therapist is to assist you in developing life skills and cultivating your inner strengths and resilience to restore balance and joy in your life and relationships. I welcome individuals of all ages in my practice, from adolescents to seniors, and draw from many therapies and modalities honed in my years as a therapist and mindfulness teacher–practitioner, including strengths-based approaches, trauma-informed therapies, self-compassion, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork and somatic balancing.

I am a psychotherapist serving a range of adults including those with depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic medical illness, relationship issues, grief/loss issues, identity issues. LGBTQ affirming. You are seeking to reduce the “busy mind,” feel a sense of peace/inner calmness. You are seeking to address why you feel tight, guarded, anxious all the time, in a state of chronic depression. You are seeking to be present, in the moment, "grounded", wanting clear focus, and connection to others. You are willing to explore your emotions and how/where your body holds onto memories and experiences.

You know this sudden rush of emotions, when your heart is racing with memories of a time long gone but not forgotten. Maybe your palms are getting damp, and you feel your throat tightening - almost choking - as you remember painful memories of either childhood abuse, a painful breakup, or other shadows of the past – it's like being caught in a storm of past pain with a ton of emotions. Life is rough and now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they should manage their relationships, careers, and lives — however, you don’t have to walk through this on your own.

People deserve an empathetic, supportive environment where they can process their feelings and make a plan to solve their problems and achieve their goals. Stress often leads to anxiety and depression which create barriers to those goals. My aim is to help clients see the strengths they have been overlooking to bring down those barriers and achieve their goals. I have a good deal of experience in counseling college and graduate students, both in a college counseling center and in private practice. I find helping young adults particularly rewarding.

I believe in an individualized approach for every client and working with you to determine the best methodology to get you where you want to be. I will help you tell your life story, and will work with you to find insight and meaning for the future. While on your journey, you will find that I can offer and link you with additional resources to empower you beyond the therapy room. Finally, if a relationship with me as a therapist is not working, I encourage my clients to be open and honest so that we can get them on the correct path to healing.

Many of us struggle with family conflict, marriage and relationship issues. Perhaps you are single parenting, and your job, responsibilities at home, and conflict with your children seem overwhelming; maybe pain from your past prevents you from moving into your future. I assist families in working-through the circumstances in which we often find ourselves. My specialty is family relationship-building. I work with adults, families and children. An often asked question: "How can I help my family when it's such a struggle to address my own concerns?" I'd like to assist with the important emotional decisions and changes in your life.

Children, adolescents, and families are the focus of my practice. Developing and strengthening the parent-child relationship is especially important with young children. Helping children learn to feel more capable and independent is important for school age children. Developing autonomy and learning to make good choices is critical for adolescents. By creating achievable goals together and working in a safe and supportive environment, we are able to create positive experiences for both children and parents.
