Chronic Illness Therapists in Mentor, OH

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with two years experience. I have a passion for working with children and adolescents in collaboration with their families. I work with individuals with anxiety disorders, trauma history, mood disorders, and chronic illness .

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor with board certification, and certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have two years of clinical experience helping children, teens, young adults, and adults cope with mental health and life stressors. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, trusting, and nurturing space, while meeting clients where they currently are with empathy and respect and working together to move towards your goals and establish resiliency throughout life.

You deserve access to the resources and tools that will help you to work towards your therapeutic goals. Life is full of internal and external stressors and I want to help you learn how to better cope with them. I am interested in working with clients who want to make changes and better understand themselves. I see clients individually or as a family, and clients of all ages. Whether you are looking for support regarding anxiety, stress, depression, or life transitions, I would like to hear from you. I want to build an alliance with my clients that will allow us to discover what works best for them and their lifestyles.

INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM (IOP) Exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed? Unable to accomplish day to day activities, your job or schoolwork? Struggling with pain, stomach issues, high blood pressure or diabetes? Can't sleep, concentrate or have changes in your appetite or weight? Been more frustrated and irritable? Are you depressed and anxious and don't know where to turn? You don't need to suffer in silence anymore. I developed the Health and Wellness Intensive Outpatient Program with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and proven coping skills to help you reclaim yourself and your life!

Mental Health and substance use awareness is growing more and more each day. Anyone should be welcomed with open arms to work through issues that create a dark cloud over their happiness. Working as a team and at a pace where you are comfortable is the goal that we will work to progress towards. There is not a concrete formula to happiness or managing our inner demons, but we can create one and I would be honored to help you on your journey.

Now accepting new clients! No longer a waitlist. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a pastoral background, I firmly believe that solid, Biblical counsel, along with other counseling modalities tailored to individual needs can lead to a place of "serenity" and well-being. So many factors in everyday life can take their toll on us. Thus, I believe that it is important to find someone you feel you can trust to compassionately listen to your story and help give counsel that is solid and reliable and will lead you to a positive and enriching outcome. I hope to join you on your journey towards well-being.

I believe that one of the goals of therapy should be for a person to see a clear path to achieving life dreams. This often occurs through in-depth self study and examination, as well as telling one's story, and becoming comfortable with that story relative to a life situation. Through therapy, an individual develops the confidence he/she needs to face life and all its complications. A variety of treatment methods may be necessary to achieve the goals of therapy and a therapist should be willing to explore options based on the individual needs of his/her clients.

I have many years of experience working with individuals who struggle with mental health and addiction problems. I use a skill-based approach to treatment called dialectical behavioral therapy. This type of treatment focuses on learning how to live in the moment, manage interpersonal relationships effectively, handle life's challenges with grace and competence, and understand and deal with feelings in constructive ways. Using my training and diagnostic knowledge I will develop a comprehensive treatment plan that emphasizes relapse prevention and living a life worth living. I work with a team of other mental health professionals including psychiatrists, and counselors.

Reaching out for help can be an overwhelming process that requires you to be courageous and vulnerable. When you are feeling sad, disconnected, hopeless, and uncomfortable in your own skin, the obstacles you face may seem hard to overcome. You have now taken the first step towards wellness and it is no longer out of your reach. I am glad you are here, especially if you may be feeling stressed and trapped in a world that just does not understand.

I enjoy working with clients to help them overcome their struggles and find strength and skills in meeting the challenges in their life.

As a registered art therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor, my passion is helping adults creatively discover and express their true self, which can sometimes get lost in the day-to-day struggles of life. Working together, I will help guide you towards discovering your innate resiliency, empowering you to heal on a holistic level. My approach is more directive, providing education and spiritual & art therapy interventions designed to encourage deep evaluation of the self. I have over ten years of experience working with adults using art therapy, counseling and metaphysical/spiritual methods.

I have been a practicing therapist for almost 30 years. Many have asked me how I do my job - "listening to people's problems all day". For me, it an honor and a privilege to help someone work through a troubling issue and find balance again in their life, providing support and compassion through the process. I work with individuals and couples; male and female; age 5 years and up. My practice is general and broad based. A few specialty areas are children and adolescents; parenting; anxiety; women's issues; depression; working through life changes; grief and loss; coping skills; geriatric issues.
