Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Marietta, OH

Welcome to Love and Grow Youth and Family Therapy, PLLC :) I specialize in helping youth, young adults, couples, and families find direction in navigating difficulties with anxiety, depression, oppositional and defiant behavior, obsessive and compulsive behavior, as well as traumatic stress. I approach therapy with genuine curiosity, humbly meeting my clients where they are, validating those life experiences that bring my clients into therapy, and learning more about the tool kits clients have used thus far to steer them through troubled waters.

In addition to working on social skills and behavior management with clients and their families, Sarah has extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, art therapy and play therapy to help children who've been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder. Empowering children to navigate the every day stressors that accompany mental health issues is Sarah's priority.

I have been providing clinical services since 2016. I enjoy working primarily as a youth and family clinician, but I have also worked with adults, and served as a clinical supervisor. I treat a range of presenting issues including disruptive/oppositional behavior, depression, anger issues, behavioral issues, anxiety, parent-child conflict, and emotional dysregulation.

Hey Moms & Dads! You're already doing a great job by looking for a counselor for your child. I know that what you're going through is very tough... be it a divorce, life change, illness, or maybe your child was diagnosed with ODD, Autism, or ADHD. You might be feeling overwhelmed and feel like you just cannot be your child's therapist. Guess what? It's okay. You were never meant to be. I'm Catherine, but my client's call me "Cat" and it's a life passion of mine to sit (and play) with children (7+) and teens during this developmental stage of life.
