Therapists Beginning With D in Ohio
Life is sometimes overwhelmingly heavy. The seemingly random moments of increased heart rate and shortness of breath. The feeling of drowning (and sometimes floating) that fogs your mind. The inability to make a clear decision - or just rushing through a decision because you can’t think clearly anyway. The having to backtrack because “Wait..what just happened?” The lack of appetite and sleepless nights. The increased appetite and the deepest sleep after the tears. It's all just exhausting. How much would you treasure having a clear mind again?

I believe in meeting an individual 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, giving them support and tools to overcome those challenges and emotionally heal. While my caseload is diverse in client needs, an emerging focus of my practice is supporting individuals and family of individuals with ADHD who are working on understanding how their neurodivergent brains have played a role in their lives, exploring both the victories and the struggles.

Dori Dalton: as a Certified EMDR Therapist, I have seen people in turmoil, personal pain, confused, undecided, or stuck in feelings or emotions - that are sometimes out of control. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful method of psychotherapy that has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress. No one knows how any form of psychotherapy works neurobiologically or in the brain. However, we do know that when a person is very upset, their brain cannot process information. If you would like more information, feel free to call/email me anytime.

Does it feel like there are patterns that keep repeating throughout your life? Patterns that show up in your relationships, your parenting, your work? Early experiences often shape our beliefs about ourselves and the world, affecting how we navigate life as adults. By helping you identify these experiences, I can help you work towards unraveling those negative patterns and foster healthier, more positive ways of thinking and living. I want to help create lasting change for those of you who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self worth, substance use, trauma, depression, or relationship issues.
