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. You have this person you want to be. These things you want to do. But you are stuck and you want to move forward in life; deeply, wholly, mindfully. You are courageous. And you've decided that you are ready to lay it out, harness your strength, and heal. www.warmmilkandhoneyhealing.com

I feel it is important to offer expert quality care that is compassionate, and tailored to each person's uniqueness as an individual. I have 33 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, families, and adults facing various life challenges. Time passes quickly. We often spend our days unhappy, and stressed. Sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the hardships, and realize what matters most to us. If you can't change a situation, change your perspective.

My philosophy is that within each of us is the capacity to flourish. Counseling can be transformational for people working through life transitions, painful emotions, challenging relationships, and so much more. Together we can work to implement practical strategies that cultivate positive wellbeing and decrease stress. I help my clients to deepen their awareness and self-compassion so that they can feel empowered to make nurturing choices for themselves each day.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

Hello! You are already on your way to finding a solution to the issues that are keeping you from becoming the person you want to be. Solutions for you are not far away, and together we can find the best solutions that work for you!

I believe all people have the ability to overcome even the most dis-empowering obstacles, and sometimes we need help finding the way to do this. I work across a range of mental health and addiction concerns, to help you, to help yourself. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and am honored by the opportunity to help you tap into your expertise. My practice uses principles of Mindfulness, compassion, personal empowerment, and hope. Together, we will discover your strengths, and learn how to use your own power to conquer challenges, to grow, and heal.

My approach to therapy is both focused on finding solutions and gaining understanding. First, I believe it is important to incorporate effective coping skills to mitigate the effects of any mental health concern. It is then often necessary to build insight as to the causes of these concerns in order to change problematic patterns in how we relate to ourselves and others. Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship matters - I attempt to foster self-compassion and understanding in order to lighten the burden of difficult life situations.

My expertise is with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and difficulty adjusting to life changes. Often clients come to me feeling stuck, seeking relief from stress, or feeling disconnected and alone. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental setting where clients feel safe to address these issues. My goal is to help clients gain insight and draw on their strengths to find the best way forward through difficult times.

Over the years I have worked with clients of all backgrounds and issues. I believe you are the most important person who walks into my office. I believe your experience in therapy should be helpful and that you feel you are treated with the dignity and respect you deserve. Our building a relationship is important in this process. You are the leader in managing your treatment and my job is to listen and follow your lead. For many families, adoption was an option to building that family. As a parent of nine adopted children who are now adults, I appreciate the special challenges we have faced.

I've been providing individual, couples and group psychotherapy for over 30 years. My clients are usually highly successful in their careers but have unsuccessful personal relationships. Successful counseling focuses on helping people develop more fulfilling and substantial interpersonal connections. My clients build richer and more emotionally balanced lives. Appreciating our inherited patterns, false beliefs about ourselves and valuing the integration of thoughts and feelings--these elements create the freedom to make new, more effective and satisfying life choices.

I enjoy working with people during any phase of their journey. It's rewarding to connect with couples, adolescents, and adults going through stage of life changes and or trauma. I find joy in collaborating to cultivate peoples' motivations to change in a way that allows them to gain insight into their behaviors and achieve optimal health. I view people through a holistic lens thus seeing the whole person rather than their symptoms.

During this especially difficult time, I embrace the opportunity to partner with individuals and couples facing challenges on their journey. Through empowering clients as they directly face life's challenges they are able to explore solutions, find balance and experience harmony as they heal and establish a deeper, healthier, connection with their loved ones. My goal is to educate, support and inspire you to unwrap the issues that bind you to your current suffering and help you develop skills, insights and action plans to keep you moving in the direction of your highest intention.

I believe that people come to therapy for many reasons but their overall goal is to improve upon their lives and themselves. There is nothing more satisfying to me than helping my clients foster a better understanding of themselves and their relationships in order to achieve a happier, more successful and productive life. I integrate Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to find the best combination to elicit change and personal growth in my clients.

***SEEKING NEW CLIENTS***Nicole (Nikki) is a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC), MSC, MBA, serving Englewood, Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus and the entire State of Ohio.

Hi, I’m Sarah and I have had the pleasure of helping individuals grow and heal for more than 10 years. Life can be hard and it can feel even harder when you are navigating it by yourself. I would love to walk alongside you through whatever challenges you are currently facing. This is a safe space. I offer a judgement free environment, where you will be heard. And together we will develop a blueprint just for you. A personalized plan that allows you to move forward in life in a healthy manner. There is no magic solution, but my guidance works because it comes from a place of truth and authenticity. We will walk this road together.

I offer a client centered approach to my therapy style. I will assist you to identify and work on your mental health needs in a caring and genuine way. My purpose as a clinician is to build on your strengths and assist with your growth process. I offer a warm an personalized experience for each of my clients to create a healthy and productive theraputic relationship.

I work with a variety of clients, all having one thing in common: They are unhappy with the direction their life has taken and seek insight so that their lives can change. Whether they are wanting to process a life event and only want to come one or two sessions, or whether they want to make a long-term connection with a counselor, I tailor my therapy to my clients' needs. My approach is interactive, engaging my clients in conversations that help them process past or present events, so that they can find their own path to healing.

People strive to create meaningful relationships. Many enter psychotherapy because that need isn't being met, wasn't met, or because they fear it won't be met. People feel/behave for reasons often outside awareness. Attempts to master psychological pain determine why people behave consistently, predictably, and sometimes self-destructively. The therapeutic relationship is determined by my ability to provide a safe forum for examining thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by maintaining a nonjudgmental, empathic rapport. Successful treatment integrates cognitive and emotional components of people developing increasing self-awareness. It includes supportive and interpretive interventions, while also leveraging strengths.

Counseling is a partnership between the client (that's you) and the provider (that's me). My role as counselor is to meet you where you are, provide support and clarification when needed, and help you develop the tools/skills you need to accomplish your goals.

I believe individuals have the ability to heal emotional wounds, repair relationships and create a fulfilling life. Together we will work to identify why you feel stuck in order to create new and healthy patterns within your life. I am committed to helping you experience positive change and have a greater sense of personal strength. My goal is to offer ideas for immediate symptom relief as well as life long coping skills to better manage emotions and improve relationships with others. Overall, I will help you find a better balance of mental, physical and emotional health.
