Self-Harming Therapists in Solon, OH

For the past 30 years, as a clinical psychologist, I have assisted clients in coping with a wide range of life stressors and emotional struggles including depression, anxiety, grief, psychological trauma, abuse and neglect, work-related stress and family/marital/relationship difficulties. My professional goal is to facilitate clients' happiness, peace and fulfillment in life by using evidence-based treatment strategies that provide clients coping tools for everyday life. I never lose sight of what a great honor and privilege it is to have clients share their thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, and personal struggles with me.

Are you ready for a change? Are you ready to start working on addressing those thoughts and behaviors that have been a part of your life that are no longer serving you? If so, you may be ready for working with me. My practice is called New Waters Wellness. I work with youth from age 12, and adults. I support others in addressing life stress, loneliness, anxiety, and organizational concerns. I assist my clients with identifying triggers and discovering new ways to address concerns to break patterns of behaviors that have not been beneficial.

It is possible to change! Unfortunately life is full of stress and wounding experiences. Sometimes these experiences are extreme one time life changing events or losses but often they're chronic insidious challenging experiences of everyday life. Abuse, loss, toxic relationships, life transitions to name a few can result in hopelessness, addiction, despair and unexplained fear and anxiety. It can impair your relationships, your work, overall sense of well being and beliefs. The good news is that there is a lot of new information about how the brain is affected by these experiences and ways to change it.

My ideal client would be someone struggling to manage their mental health and/or substance usage. They have a desire to rehabilitate by developing coping skills to help them better manage their emotions and concerns.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor, and an EMDR Certified therapist. My area of focus is Trauma, Depression, Sexual Abuse, Anxiety, PTSD, and Social Anxiety. When I first started as a new therapist in a busy private practice, I quickly realized that most of my clients had suffered some form of trauma in their lives that was keeping them stuck. I trained to be a counselor because I truly wanted to help people overcome their past. As I came across more and more clients struggling with their trauma symptoms, I started to look around for ways to better prepare myself to help the population I served.

I am a registered art therapist and professional clinical counselor and enjoy working collaboratively with clients to harness your own personal empowerment. I believe that self-care and wellness are a personal and professional priority. I help to teach clients how to embrace wellness techniques, while building awareness, in order to reach your own therapeutic goals.

There are a lot of expectations on humans of all ages, but particularly on parents and today's youth! As a previous special education teacher, licensed psychologist, and mother of 4, it is no surprise that these expectations often feel overwhelming or insurmountable for us as individuals and for our family units. As a parent, do you need support navigating all that confusing and contradictory parenting advice? Do you have a child in K-12 (or are you a teen) struggling academically or in connecting with others in a way that feels true to yourself? Have you experienced trauma and want to know how it impacts your daily functioning?

I'm here as an unbiased listener. We work together to understand your needs; building a trusting relationship. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship hurdles, trauma, or adjustment-related concerns. Our work will vary based on the individual; there is no one size fits all. I utilize a holistic approach as mind, body, and spirit are the foundation of who we are. I believe what we eat and how we move has an impact on our thoughts and behaviors; taking care of our bodies can make a difference on how the mind works.

Each of us holds a unique place in this world, even when we are struggling through our darkest moments. I aim to provide a nonjudgmental environment that allows you to feel safe, encourages personal growth, embraces your strengths, increases self-compassion, and promotes healing. Asking for help takes courage! My goal is to assist you in finding ways to be more equipped to handle your life stressors, whatever those are.

I work with my clients to provide relief from emotional pain and to address their struggles in life. The goal is to increase self-awareness and to provide tools for better coping and functioning. I believe that every individual has the capacity to heal and to increase their sense of balance and well-being. I find that people who choose to engage in the process of psychotherapy can achieve a richer, more meaningful and more productive life. I work with people who struggle with different life challenges including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss and bereavement, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Mother's Day can be Challenging for many. Coping with grief can cause loneliness and confusion. We are here to provide support to help you navagate this difficult period. The Foundational Approach provides a caring supportive environment in which you can identify and explore those issues that may be getting in the way of a more rewarding life leading to greater fulfillments.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults with a wide range of presenting issues and specialize in treating eating disorders, body image disturbances, depression and other mood disorders, personality difficulties, relationship struggles, and anxiety/panic disorder. I also specialize in psychological/psychoeducational testing to assess learning abilities, attention, cognitive skills, and intelligence. My treatment approach is very individualized and I tend to focus on both current symptoms/behaviors and the origins of a person's struggles.

I believe that each individual must be met “where they are at” and should have a space to speak freely without fear of judgement or punishment. While I do put a major focus on each individual, I also recognize that today’s social climate has an influence on our mental health.
