Being at peace with yourself is not easy. Showing yourself the kindness you easily give to others can be extremely challenging. This is especially true if you are accustomed to anticipating the needs of others before acknowledging your own. You may find that your sense of worthiness depends on how useful you are to others. The beautiful thing is: you are enough already as you are. The painful thing is: you believe you're both not enough and too much at the same time. You want to be able to relate to yourself in a kinder way, take good care of yourself, and feel more authentic in your relationships.

Hello, I’m Julia Meyer! I am a Master of Social Work student at Ohio State University. I started working in the mental health field in 2017, and since then, have worked with children, teens, and adolescents in schools, centers, and wilderness settings. I have worked with anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, physical and sexual abuse, relationship issues, life changes, anger management, behavioral challenges, and most recently, developmental disorders such as autism.

My name is Edica Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach is client-centered; together, we determine the best intervention to support this journey. I treat a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, anger, self-esteem, and familial/relationship issues. I currently work with active duty military personnel, adults, and adolescents 16+. I am comfortable with treating clients with PTSD, complex trauma, relational issues, depression, anxiety, phobias, domestic violence/sexual assault survivors, anger, and self-esteem issues.

I use a very eclectic approach in which I am engaged and actively involved in the therapeutic process. I ask lots of questions. I invite my patients to move away from self-judgment and to be truly curious about themselves and their lives. We look together at patterns of functioning, at assumptions about the self, at how the present reflects the past. The goal is authenticity and the path is self-awareness.

I received my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville. I work with the following populations: children, adolescents, young adults and LGBTQIA+. I have worked with populations specifically with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse/assault, domestic violence survivors, among many other mental health challenges. I have a vast array of experience in the mental health field working in a residential, group home, and psychiatric inpatient settings with children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience working with individuals who have been in crisis and who have experienced trauma.

Sometimes you just need a safe place to land. Sometimes the activity and busyness in our daily lives are poor substitutions for intimate connections. Intimacy in relationships are the balm to our hurting hearts. Relationships are the sutures to our open wounds. Creating a safe, sacred space, and deep, quiet listening is the fertile soil needed for authentic sharing, deepening intimacy and healing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirty-five years of clinical experience, I offer individual, couple, and group psychotherapy. Upon client request, I offer to integrate their spirituality in the healing process.

You pour your morning coffee and stare off. "This is fine," you tell yourself. But this is not fine. Life feels like a gigantic dumpster fire. You're not alone: I've been there, too. Your story is sacred and deserves to be heard, held, and believed. For 7 years, I have supported teens and adults with childhood wounds, grief, religious trauma, or sexual assault in creating more confidence, balance, and comfort in their lives. I especially enjoy working with folks who are questioning their spiritual beliefs or their sexuality, but these are not necessary for us to work together.

Seeking help is often the hardest part of the journey to a healthier way of living. I am here to help you through the next part. Everyone needs space to be seen fully and accepted unconditionally. It is the most humbling experience of my life to hold space for others through difficult moments.

Are you looking for a unique and creative way to process life's challenges? Do you often have difficulty matching words to your feelings leading to low engagement in traditional talk therapy? I can help you reach your goals through art making that encourages both a creative and transformative therapeutic experience. I have worked extensively with teens and adults with histories of trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, work burnout, LGBTQ+ identities, and addiction. I am also interested in working with therapists to provide them with a creative approach different from their own.

Does life seem confusing or even impossible? Does it ever feel like even when you are with others you feel alone? It is brave to ask for help. With every fiber of my being, I believe you have the answers you need and you can be the expert on you. Let me help you better understand your story and help guide you out of the dark places you are stuck in and into your truth. So much of the time we are living a narrative that others have crafted, by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but you have the ability to heal and take back your story.

Perhaps you're ready to challenge the belief that this is just the way things are. Deep down there has been a desire to look closer. You want to feel connected to your center, confident, and feel at home with your true feelings about things. I provide treatment to adults with struggles often described as: feeling not enough, patterns of challenging or unfulfilling relationships, trouble asserting themselves, perfectionism, difficulties related to past traumas, or having been raised by emotionally immature caregivers. Additionally, I have specialization and interest in working with women who have experienced abusive relationships.

You are going through a lot. The pain, loss, and confusion in this life can feel insurmountable. You have experienced hardship and still strive to find the solution. Sometimes the journey only proves to cause more suffering. Yet, you're trying every day to feel better, be better. With byproducts like negative thinking patterns and unhealthy habits, I know it can feel like there is no end in sight. I am here to throw you a lifeline, because it doesn’t always have to be this way!

My passion is for helping others feel and live their very best. Therapy is a powerful tool to help you begin doing just that; whether you are trying to navigate feelings of depression, grief / loss, or the tumultuous feelings that come with anxiety caused by work or relationship stressors, therapy can help you shift your perspective while developing the skills needed to not only move through challenges, but to begin thriving. I primarily work with adults and adolescents of all backgrounds.

Stuck? Frustrated or overwhelmed? You want to do better at work or school. Maybe relationships are strained. You know you’d like something to change. Everyone else seems to have their life together. Come as you are to counseling. There is nothing you have to do, or be, in order to feel better. Together, we’ll discover what would be a rich and meaningful life for you, and how to get there. I work frequently with clients wanting to discover whole mind and body connection. During our initial consultation we'll discover if I'm the best fit for your needs, and if not, help you find the right one. Let's chat.
