Therapists in Toledo, OH

My name is Barb Reszko, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who has worked with and provided therapy for a variety of populations. I have worked with people struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, social and relationship concerns, and chronic pain and illness.

I have years of experience working with youth, adolescents and their families dealing with a range of issues from juvenile delinquency, substance abuse and trauma. I have developed professionalism and discipline form my time in the U.S. Army, and have extensive experience in education and coaching. I have spent years helping youth academically, athletically and socially. I have worked with the offender populations and have demonstrated a safe and caring space for this marginalized group. In addition, I have worked with victims of abuse, and have created a safe, caring empathetic place for them to process their concerns. My experience has allowed me to develop the unique ability to bridge the gap between, offender/victim, teacher/student, caregiver/child, felon/community and individual/system. If you are in need of culturally competent, evidenced based treatment, with a focus on solutions, and a balanced approach of love and logic, faith and fact then look no further.

The journey through life can be challenging and lonely at times. Your sight becomes blurred and you search for answers. Let me take your hand and walk with you. I specialize in trauma, LGBTIQ issues, abuse, and narcissistic abuse. I offer support groups for depression, narcissistic abuse, and teen support groups. The first step is often the most difficult but hope is on the horizon.

I believe that no matter your current station in life that each person can improve on wherever they are at. As a therapist I like to meet people where they are at and help them to build tangible goals and subsequent structures to succeed in whatever they hope to achieve.

Do you have a child who appears to be bright but who struggles academically? Does your child's behavior or inability to focus adversely affect learning or make life difficult at home? Does your child have a difficult time connecting socially with peers? If your child is experiencing any learning or behavioral problems at school or at home, then educational testing may be the first step in receiving the help he or she needs. I am an Ohio Board of Psychology and ODE licensed school psychologist specializing in the assessment of Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Autism, and ADHD.

Wrestling with life's issues can be challenging - especially when trying to do it alone. It can be overwhelming and/or painful attempting to navigate through the questions and uncertainties that sometimes come up. In 20+ years working with diverse populations in the helping professions, in all the stories I've heard, what typically stands out is the need to know and understand self, the things that happen to us, how it all fits together - making meaning, and how to move forward and find a sense of purpose. "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" - Anais Nin

Are you just getting by, saying "I'm okay" when asked how you are? It's okay to be okay, but there's so much more to well-being. Do you wake up excited for the day ahead?

Hi! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who is excited to work with a wide range of clients. It is my passion to help clients navigate through healing from depression, anxiety, trauma, and other life stressors and transitions. I strive to hold a safe space for all clients and works to empower clients to embrace their self and story. I greatly enjoy utilizing creative therapeutic approaches and interventions, often incorporating art, music, or play into sessions. It is important to me that I take a client-centered and strengths-based approach to working collaboratively with clients.

My purpose in counseling is to share my gift and compassion for the wounded along with my clinical knowledge to guide you on your path to healing. As you pursue your purpose in life you will gain a deeper connection and understanding of the SELF, which will contribute to increased self- esteem and awareness of your trauma triggers/responses, which will allow you to overcome barriers that impede your progress. You will identify your strength, courage, and resilience to prepare you for future career paths on your Journey II Freedom.

U Change staff are a group of individuals that have faced some major life issues and now have the experience and the education to help you reach your goals.

Everyone needs help navigating life sometimes. If you are struggling to cope with parts of your past, wanting to make a change, getting stuck in the loop of maladaptive behaviors, or just feeling overwhelmed with life, counseling can be a great place to get relief from burdens holding you back and a place to make room for personal growth. My goal is to provide you with an emotionally safe place to work through your struggles, help you gain deeper insight and clarity into your problems, and deliver evidenced based treatment approaches.

Choosing therapy can be difficult. Be it out of fear, stigma, or unfamiliarity, you might be questioning whether it's for you. The beautiful thing about therapy is it can be for anyone, at any age, and from any walk of life. My goal is to support you in finding what has been getting in the way of your wellness. For some, this is a seemingly endless and painful loop that you have been trying to get out of on your own. It is my intention to help my clients see they are not alone and that, if they choose to, they can use a therapeutic environment to heal.

We are not always kind to ourselves. We can get stuck in our thoughts, repeating past mistakes or challenges over and over, until we feel the same as we did in that difficult moment. Our problems can seem overwhelming and the solutions unclear. Even just thinking about our troubles can sometimes put us right back in the midst of anxiety, sadness, anger, and pain. With all this weighing on us, every day can become a struggle, and even getting out of bed can seem an insurmountable task.

Life sometimes can be hard and feel overwhelming. We often feel stressed, want to be happier, have the need to set better boundaries with our work/personal/school life, and need to navigate through various life transitions. No matter the barriers you face, let therapy be the time you set aside to focus on you and what you deserve to work on for yourself.

I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing struggles and conflict within their interpersonal relationships. I believe that the individual can be better understood through the context of their relationships. I use a systemic and collaborative approach to assist you in holistically understanding presenting issues and to create client driven goals. My goal is to create a safe environment where you will feel understood and valued.

Trust and confidentiality in the counseling relationship provides a safe and private place to process what is going on in life and to move forward. It is challenging for anyone in these conditions to manage the demands of work, family, and life responsibilities. Stressors on the job and in relationships can significantly impact one’s physical and emotional health. Stress doesn’t go away, and conditions such as constantly being exposed to others' trauma can lead to anxiety and depression, among other unwanted responses.

As a child and family therapist I work with children, adolescents and adults conducting individual, couples, and family counseling for persons experiencing a wide range of issues-from transitions and losses (job loss, illness, divorce, death), relationship issues, depression, fears and anxiety, to trauma and PTSD. I approach the counseling relationship in an interactive and respectful manner by assisting you to find the solution that is best for you in a safe and trusting environment.
