Medical Mutual Therapists in Lakewood, OH

My clients are seeking to level up in their sense of self awareness, being more connected with the present and coping better than ever before. I support them to build resilience, resolve impact of trauma, and find more calm in their lives. My goal as a therapist is to support you through your deepest struggles, whether that's a new form of stress or a lifetime of challenges. I empower my Clients to find their inner voice, increase confidence, and embrace the possibility of being resilient.

I am an established psychologist, working in the Lakewood area with individuals, couples, and families for a number of years. I am interested in how we experience and grow from life events, such as marriage, divorce, death of a loved one, moving, and/or pursuing a new career. In the past, I have been Director of Mental Health for the City of Cleveland's McCafferty Health Center.

I offer virtual counseling. Therapy can be a scary thought, but it is a space for you to find yourself again and experience life. As a therapist, I am aware of the stigma of seeking mental health support, and I know taking the first step to come to therapy can be difficult. I strive to create a warm, inclusive, welcoming environment to allow clients to express themselves openly and honestly without judgment. We walk through the world holding many different experiences that make us unique: race, gender, sexual orientation, and more. I help my clients allow themselves permission to feel their feelings and walk forward.

Whether you are struggling with relationship difficulties, life transitions, issues at work, or feeling overrun by your own thoughts, you do not have to face your struggles alone. I use humor and a holistic, strengths-based approach to foster a warm, safe, and trusting environment with my clients.

Hope starts here. Are you feeling sad or stressed? Do you experience mood swings but don't really know why? Maybe you've been withdrawing from family, friends, or activities that used to breathe light into your life. If you have been feeling depressed, have found yourself more angry or hostile than normal, or suffer from low energy or problems sleeping, you may have an untreated mental health issue. Mental health impacts your way of thinking, relating to others, and overall quality of life. Many issues have been identified and defined including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), etc. You don't have to suffer anymore.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process in which the individual's experience is always unique. I believe that an individual should always feel safe and comfortable while pursuing therapy. I provide a safe space to best experience therapy in a way that allows for personal understanding, exploration and growth. This space is confidential and judgement-free. My goal is to ensure my clients feel supported, heard and advocated for during the time that they receive therapy.

I have been practicing in Lakewood for over 17 years. Prior to that, I was in New York, where I was Assistant Dean of psychology at Adelphi University in addition to my private practice . My style is both supportive and interactive. I will work with you to help you to understand yourself and to identify your life goals.

I want to empower you to be the absolute best version of yourself. My work is holistic and client focused, meaning you are in charge and I am here to support you in finding ultimate mental and emotional wellness by connecting the mind with body. I use a variety of approaches that allow for you to strengthen your inner self throughout the entire therapeutic experience. These approaches are eclectic, as I get to know you and the problem area(s) I will incorporate modalities and interventions that are most suited to treating the unique individual that you are.

Currently accepting new clients! Problems are here to stay for the long-haul. Stress can be reduced. We are a group of counselors who provide a space for self-reflection. We help you do the inner work, to learn what you aren’t necessarily aware of, to bring forward a deeper layer of yourself, and to understand why we are the way we are. Once we can understand that we do have a choice in all the chaos, we can start to heal.

When human beings experience life’s ups and downs, moving forward, cultivating gratitude, or finding a positive outlook can be daunting. One thing we often experience is loneliness, but we do not have to truly be alone. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can tap into the parts of our lives that we have neglected and through talk therapy, we can gain self-awareness, increase sense of self-efficacy, develop self-care, and improve resiliency for overall well-being. My areas of interest include working with life adjustment & transitions, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and trauma.

I am compassionate about connecting with others to reduce emotional distress and impact positive healing and growth. It is my intention to provide a warm and accepting therapeutic alliance.

Life is no easy task. It can knock us around causing regrets and unwanted feelings. Emotional pain can be elusive, idling for years as the culprit of failed partnerships, loneliness, underachievement, despair, and fear. Mental pain does not send us to the emergency room for stitches but can leave us feeling at war with ourselves. When left unattended this pain can lead to debilitating mood disorders and maladaptive coping strategies. As a partner of Lakewood Counseling, I am here to help you tend to your mental health, restore your inner strength and reclaim control over the life that you deserve.

Hello! I'm Nicole and I am a clinical therapist at Ebb & Flow Counseling! I understand that seeking therapy can be an intimidating process. Life can be difficult and unpredictable. My style is genuine and honest; and my priority is to provide a space where people feel at ease with who they are. I believe clients should feel that their time in therapy is both meaningful and productive. Therefore, I work hand in hand to help clients gain insight, build skills and knowledge at a pace that feels right to them and meets them where they are on their path.

We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet, listening of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know (Carl Rogers). Veronica is here to listen. She passionately focuses on creating a safe place for people to feel comfortable making healthy changes in their lives. As a native Spanish speaker, she is an empathic, open-minded helper focused on truly hearing English- or Spanish-speaking clients. Specializing in the treatment of anxiety and depression, Veronica provides catered treatment, primarily channeled through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
