Elders (65+) Therapists in Toledo, OH

Hello I’m Bobbi and my goal is to make therapy less scary. I offer a quiet safe space where you can express yourself without judgement. I have experience with trauma, grief, and depression I will challenge and guide you towards your goals. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming clinician and I welcome all faith and spiritual practices. Together we can work to bring more peace and clarity in your thoughts and your life.

Life can be challenging and people find help is needed. Some challenges develop over time and then reach a crisis point. Work stress, anxiety, parenting and discipline problems, or marital problems are examples of these. Some of us must cope with long-term conditions or problems, like trauma, depression, or loss. Through my educational background, personal insight, compassion, and problem-solving skills to work with you on the issues or problems that are interfering with your happiness and quality of life. I value the therapeutic relationship that built with each individual as a partnership to assist in reaching the desired goals.

Many individuals of all ages are faced with challenges that lead to anxiety, depression, traumatic symptoms, communication struggles, and low self confidence. With all of these challenges piling on top of one another, it makes it difficult to effectively process and complete ones daily tasks. In children and teens, these stressors often show themselves as struggling to fit in at school, low self esteem, seclusion, low motivation, and poor communication skills. Many adults struggle with the stress of daily work life balance, relationships, family dynamics, and past traumas.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

Sometimes all it takes is just someone to listen and tell you that what you are experiencing makes sense. Sometimes it is necessary to find a new way of exploring patterns and habits, as well as where they originated. I am not afraid to explore difficult feelings and I can help you to be able to also. Couples counseling is similar to individual but instead of exploring your relationship to yourself, we explore your relationship to your partner and how your relationship became this way as well as what can happen differently. Its not about blame, its about finding a better way.

Life can be challenging. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and/or more, it may be time to reach out. I became a therapist due to my strong belief in the transformative power of therapy. My goal as a therapist is to help people better understand how they came to think, feel, and behave in ways that are not serving them well in order to then help them to actualize the change, growth, and healing that they want to see in order to lead to more satisfying and deliberate lives. I work well with individuals who want to improve their lives and who are committed to the process.

Let’s face it, life can be stressful! Do you find yourself stuck in a state of worry, feeling hopeless and unable to complete the tasks of daily life, struggling with body image and eating issues, or dealing with a difficult life change? You do not need to face these issues alone! As a licensed professional clinical counselor I work with my clients to help empower them to make the changes needed to get their lives back and become their best selves! I view myself and my client as a team. Together we will work to build awareness, develop healthier skills, and move towards a more fulfilling life.

I feel fortunate to work with individuals and families in developing effective strategies to manage difficult emotions. Whether you need support with daily life stressors, difficult transitions, processing trauma, or severe personal loss, I utilize a holistic approach incorporating evidence-based strategies of cognitive-behavioral-therapy, compassion-focused therapy, and humanistic psychology to help you work through your problems and live a happier and healthier life.

It is such a sign of strength to confront the challenges that we face in times of difficulty. I understand how issues relating to self esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, disordered eating, body image, work, relationships, parenting or other things can interfere with our ability to be our best selves. People need a comfortable, judgment free, and safe space to process their feelings, learn healthy coping skills, practice new thoughts/behaviors, and set goals for the future. I am committed to helping you create the change necessary to develop more satisfaction in your life.

I believe in meeting a person where they are at, with the understanding that everybody has had a different life experience. I take a nonjudgmental stance and encourage those I work with to find humor and light, while also validating the hardships they've endured. My goal is to give people I work with support and tools to help them overcome their life challenges and emotionally heal.
