Female Therapists in Mentor, OH

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.

Are you a woman struggling to balance her professional life and personal life? Are you a mother or caregiver dedicating her days to helping others but neglecting her own wants and needs? Therapy is a time and a place carved out of your week to work on you and only YOU! Believe me, self care is not selfish. Together we will identify your needs and help you reach your goals, whether that's by processing trauma, learning to identify and communicate your emotions effectively, developing new coping techniques, adding structure to your life or anything of the like. If you are ready to work toward positive change, please give me a call!

Now Accepting New Clients - The counseling experience is all about self exploration, growing and gaining new perspectives and ways of thinking. I believe we all have the power within us to make positive changes; we just need a safe place to be vulnerable enough to discover that power. Counseling with me can be that safe place for you. If you are ready to experience an improved quality of life, more successful relationships, or if you just need support dealing with life's challenges, I would be honored to go on this journey with you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who provides individual counseling services to adults and teens who present with a variety of mental health concerns. I have experience with individual therapy as well as group therapy. I utilize evidenced-based treatment approaches including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to best support you and guide you in meeting your treatment goals. I will help you to navigate stressful and challenging life changes through a collaborative and engaging therapeutic process by teaching coping skills to help you build a life worth living.

Not feeling like yourself lately, or going through life changes? Reaching out for help can be difficult and takes courage. I'm here to provide support to clients through an eclectic approach to help alleviate current symptoms and create change. “Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going.”

Do you find yourself dissatisfied and unfulfilled? Are you struggling to get through your day, too focused on the pain or stress to find the joy in life? Sometimes it feels like there's no point, like these are the cards we have been dealt and there's nothing we can do to change it. But I am here to tell you that you have the power. We as humans are resilient beings, capable of growth and transformation. While sometimes we cannot change our circumstances, we all have the tools and abilities to develop new perspectives, habits and thought patterns that can help us lead happy and meaningful lives.

Every individual faces unique challenges and needs to work on themselves at their own pace, and I am here to support you along your own distinct journey towards acceptance. My aim is to help you better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, what they mean, and how they relate to your present day struggles and challenges. I like humor and encourage it in session; I believe positive humor serves as a valuable release of stress. I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety and depressive symptoms, self-esteem difficulties, and relationship difficulties.

I offer individual, group, and couples therapy at BWG. I also enjoy and have experience facilitating Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) at BWG and have developed a BWG Positive Psychology workshop, “Gratitude Attitude”. I believe that the absence of disease does not necessarily equal a fulfilling life, we must also find meaning and create happiness within our lives.

There are times where our struggles and emotions can make us feel out of control and become difficult to manage on our own. We have so many experiences throughout our life that, at times, can be difficult to heal from. Navigating adulthood can be overwhelming and can often leave us feeling lost and uncertain. Our bodies and minds go through many seasons of life - accepting ourselves throughout that journey can be hard. I hope to help create a safe, nonjudgmental space to allow you to manage your emotions, develop a sense of purpose, and build upon your internal resiliency.

At Serenity Counseling, our hope is to provide quality care for your psychological and emotional well-being. Our priorities include having a relaxed and calm environment, caring non-judgmental therapists, and meeting the client where they are at and alter our approach based on their needs. We have therapists who specialize in a variety of concerns. We see clients of all ages. Couples and marital counseling, young adults, anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, and trauma are all some common concerns our therapists work with.

Now accepting new clients! No longer a wait list. I believe therapy should be tailored to each client because everyone has different needs. It's exciting to get to know each client and how I can be of help to them. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, and have a special interest in women 's issues, young adults and couples. I have experience treating a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, postpartum depression, and relationship issues. I am committed to upholding the highest ethical and legal standards, as well as participating in professional development to keep up-to-date with the best practices in the field of mental health counseling.

I Am Ready, Counseling Services is a private practice offering individual, couples and family therapy. I specialize in anxiety and depressive disorders. I diagnose and treat, using a variety of techniques. Some include using a realistic approach as well as hypnotherapy to guide clients though the process of therapy.

Do you feel like your are constantly struggling? Do you feel like you have waited way too long to reach out for help? It’s never too late. I believe everyone has the right to be happy and I work hard to achieve that with all of my clients. Depression hurts! Anxiety sucks! Stress can get the best of you and past traumas can debilitate you. Maybe you have picked up some negative coping skills you are not proud of. Or maybe you are doing absolutely nothing because it hurts so bad. Getting the motivation to do this is hard. But since you are here reading this I know you have it in you and together we can make it through.

I work with both adolescents and adults using a compassionate and caring approach that includes skills based training for practical outcomes based on their values and goals. Using a collaborative approach, we will work to solve problems using skills and move through challenges in the most effective way possible. I use both person-centered and motivational interviewing styles with an emphasis in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to assist patients in staying present in the moment while preparing to move forward. I accept patients where they are now and work with them to learn about their diagnosis and move ahead in their lives.
