Autumn Francisco
Licensed Social Worker, MSW, LSW

I use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy,
feminist
theory, and psychodynamic approaches— tailored to your needs.
Therapy starts with grace and ends with grace. I believe in looking at things from a holistic approach, which involves getting to the root.

Adam Clevenger
Counselor, MA, LPCC-S, CST
Verified
I am a mental health counselor, and an AASECT certified sex therapist. I work to build genuine relationships with my clients, emphasizing teamwork and encouraging your active participation in the counseling process. I'll help you harness inner strengths and develop self-compassion, while instilling hope and confidence to overcome the obstacles impacting your personal growth. I also believe counseling is a space well-suited to develop anti-racist values. I will incorporate
feminist
principles and an anti-oppression lens in our work together, and will trust you as the 'expert' to help identify realistic solutions to life's challenges.
Emily Thomsen-King
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSEd, LPC
Verified
I draw heavily from Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy and
Feminist
Therapy; however, I also believe that the therapeutic relationship we develop will likely be the most healing aspect of counseling.
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." --Maya Angelou. Suffering is often silent. We hold back our sadness, loneliness, resentment & shame. We think that pushing these feelings aside will allow us to live the life we desire. Yet, if you find yourself unable to move forward, I would be honored to sit alongside you as you process your story. Your pain. Your joy. Your sorrow, self-doubt and hatred. It is my goal that through my nonjudgmental ear you feel seen, heard, accepted & cared for. It is in this space that we can overcome the hardships of your past or future, & embrace the light that is within you.
Marissa Robertson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
Welcome to the world of counseling, I am so thankful to see you here! I am open to any client of any age, gender, sexuality, race, religion, etc. I have the most experience of working with women, adults, people of color, and people who have experienced depression, anxiety, and trauma. I typically approach therapy with a person-centered and
feminist
approach, but my goal is to use the intervention and approach that is going to best help and serve you. My sessions are a judgement-free and compassion-filled atmosphere. It is my hope and plan to keep my clients safe, thriving, and finding their purpose during their time with me!
Erica Claman
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My practice of therapy is also influenced by humanistic, existential,
feminist
, and psychodynamic approaches.
From time to time we all get trapped in patterns and ways of thinking and feeling that don't feel good to us. Therapy provides a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental connection that allows you to better understand yourself: your feelings, thought patterns, and relationships with others. While the primary goal of therapy is to find relief from your immediate distress, the self-knowledge you will gain in therapy will help you cope with problems that arise long after therapy is over. I view therapy as a unique, collaborative process in which you work toward discovering your own truths, great and small.
Brock Schludecker
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I work primarily from an Adlerian framework and integrate aspects of contemporary psychodynamic,
feminist
, and mindfulness strategies.
I believe that each individual is both the text and the author, and work with clients to make meaning and find fulfillment in a world that is often unpredictable. I consider reflection and revision of earlier chapters, as well as intentional focus on the present moment to be key components in the process of taking ownership of one’s experience. Some of my areas of professional interests include identity (particularly surrounding issues of gender), guilt and shame, drug and alcohol use. I am also interested in healthy relationships, trauma and the social determinants of mental health.
Madison Eagle
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LSW
Verified
As an Indigenous
Feminist
, it is my philosophy that therapy and life are journeys, you determine where you want to go and how you get there.
As a Licensed Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping women become their best selves. My work as a therapist is rooted in Social Justice and Equity and approaching our work together from a holistic lens. I work collaboratively with my clients and understand that you are the expert of your own experiences. I believe that mental health is not isolated and all aspects of health contribute to our overall wellbeing.
Suzanne Walker: EMDR and EMDR Intensives
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, LISW
Verified
I employ a compassionate, relatable, warm, person-centered,
feminist
and empowering approach.
Whether in Arizona or Ohio, your heart is heavy. Heavy with trauma, with grief, anxiety, depression. With life stress, with life transitions, with the intense demands of work and motherhood and relationships. You feel disconnection, a lack of existential fulfillment. Stuck. You have this person you want to be. These things you want to do. You want to move forward in life; deeply, wholly, mindfully. You are worthy of relief. Your children are worthy of the ripple effect of addressing intergenerational trauma. You are courageous. And you've decided that you are ready to lay it out, harness your strength, and heal.
Steven D Nichols
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I draw from an integrative approach to psychotherapy that weaves together cognitive-behavioral, insight-oriented, interpersonal, and pro-
feminist
empowerment approaches.
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.
Alex Mock
Counselor, MEd, LPCC
Verified
I have an eclectic approach: with a client-centered,
feminist
, and culturally humble perspective, focusing on individual strengths and goals.
It is most important to me to build an open, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment with a holistic focus on your whole self - mind, body, and heart - recognizing the ways our environment, experiences, and relationships impact our perspectives and senses of self. We can process stressors, explore growth points, and pursue goals through learning, challenging, and leaning into discomfort. I have experience working with diverse adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, and relationship concerns. I also accept clients seeking letters for gender affirming surgeries, this usually takes 2 appointments.
Jeeseon Park-Saltzman
Psychologist, Ph D
Verified
Using interpersonal, emotion-focused, multicultural,
feminist
, existential, and mindfulness approaches, I will help you explore personal and sociocultural factors that shaped your patterns and learn new ways of interpreting and responding to situations.
You may be seeking therapy because you don’t feel like your useful self and what you’ve tried on your own didn’t work. You may have weathered through difficult life situations that made you feel lost or stuck and need a space to talk to make sense out of them. Or you may be dissatisfied with where you are in life and want to figure out what is in the way and regain a sense of direction in your life. I'd be honored to join you in your journey as you find your way back to your inner wisdom and work toward healing and growth. As a therapist, you will experience me as open, honest, active, and supportive.
Bradford Meyers
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
His approach to clinical work incorporates relational,
feminist
, and psychodynamic perspectives to support individuals in their process of personal growth and development.
Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I’m aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of relationships and through exploration of patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling life. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I am a relational and psychodynamic therapist who incorporates various therapeutic approaches and interventions, including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques.

feminist
and person-centered.
Available via telehealth in Ohio. I'm a lgbtqiap+ allied and trauma-informed therapist with a background in somatic and mindfulness-based practice, restorative-based yoga and meditation. Working together can look like creating resources for regulation, finding ways to explore + celebrate your authentic self, processing pain and joy and honoring the ways you heal. I specialize in supporting gender, sexual and ethnic minority clients who carry the weight of injustice and our future. My clinical areas of focus are anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma.
