Therapists in Toledo, OH

Hello, I’m Cynthia Connor Wagenhauser. I’m a Christian therapist specializing in narcissistic relationships, confusing, destructive marriages, codependency and divorce recovery for women. If you have someone in your life that drives you crazy, if you feel angry and worn out, sad and anxious about what to do? I can help! I have success working with individuals, teens and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, ptsd, family mental illness, conflict and divorce. Let me help you find victory over low self worth, abuse, depression and anxiety. Couples counseling is NOT recommended for any abusive situation.

I do individual and couple therapy. I am often a good fit for clients who want to integrate a spiritual perspective into therapy. By spiritual I mean living authentically, finding deep purpose, forgiving oneself and others, having compassion for yourself and others in the face of life's inevitable challenges, and seeing the sacred in the ordinary. I work with people of different faiths and those with no particular belief. I mix creativity, humor, and metaphors into therapy and encourage "daily practice for the rest of your life" to keep growth going long after therapy concludes. Check out some videos about my approach on my website.

Life has happened and is still happening! No matter what we do, life continues to happen. Situations occur which turn our stable world into something unfamiliar. These are times for a Counselor. I am a Professional Clinical Counselor. I hold a Masters Degree. I am licensed by the state of Ohio. I service the state of Ohio virtually. I work with Adolescents, Adults and families.

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), I seek to help my clients move through their feelings and circumstances in order to heal and grow. As an active listener, I allow my clients to process their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. I apply an integrative, individual approach that will best fit each client.

"The Self-Empowering Therapist" Active sessions & Self Reflecting tools for people who embrace the GROWTH mindset. I will help you recognize how to manage your thoughts and feelings to live the life you deserve and dream of. I will not only give you hope but help you create a sustainable new future.

I am a clinical social worker with experience working with individuals, couples, and families, assisting people with many concerns including relationship challenges, improving communication skills, dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief. I also have experience working with sexual and domestic violence abusers and victims. I am certified in EMDR Therapy, Level I Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and have taken many trainings in IFS and DBT. I believe trauma is stored in the mind as well as the body. I believe it is important to use current resources and develop new resources to deal with the challenges that appear in our path.

Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. They can't find relief for their symptoms, and every aspect of their life is affected. They want to lead a better life for themselves but do not know how. As a professional clinical counselor, I have helped many people find answers and improve their quality of life. My clients describe me as caring and compassionate but also straightforward and action oriented. I help people find and accentuate their strengths while letting them decide what is best for them. I also work a lot with trauma and am trained in EMDR.

3/18/24 Accepting Clients (please visit our website). Where do you go when your heart needs a safe place? Dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and all the unexpected stresses of life is hard, especially alone.

Since attending therapy is an implicit admission of imperfections for most people, my approach to counseling is person-centered and collaborative. Once the therapeutic alliance has been established, this approach allows clients to express their emotional reactions, develop more productive ways of dealing with feelings, and increase their levels of understanding and awareness. My counseling philosophy is to provide support, education, feedback and treatment that inspires clients to successfully take appropriate actions that will assist with solving their problems. Therapist qualities that I utilize include, but are not limited to, mutual respect, authenticity, genuineness, integrity, and the ability to empathize.

I am an individual and couples therapist, a golden retriever enthusiast, and a book worm. I've been trained in EMDR and I am a level one Gottman Couples therapist. I am passionate about helping people make meaningful change in their lives through healing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

Pain can be inevitable. Maybe you have hurt from a relationship, experienced trauma, are battling addiction, or are struggling with your sense of purpose. Maybe you struggle with low self esteem, body image, anxiety, or depression. Maybe you feel stuck. Choosing to be vulnerable by telling your story and having the courage to write new chapters may be the most courageous thing you ever do. It may also be the very thing that helps you find the help and healing you’re looking for.

Are feelings of anxiety and depression impacting your life and your well-being? Have life stressors impacted your personal relationships or ability to enjoy all that your life has to offer? Counseling can help you feel better, and there is hope to find the peace and growth that you are looking for. Dana is guided by the belief that successful therapeutic relationships are created with purpose, provide opportunities for deep healing, and can be faith-based or spiritual in nature. In Dana’s office, you will find acceptance, respect, and compassion to meet you where you are at each visit.

My passion as a therapist is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves to live a fulfilling and empowered life. Through active listening, empathy, and evidence-based interventions, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. My approach integrates various therapeutic modalities tailored to each client's unique needs, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and positive coping strategies. It is immensely rewarding to witness the transformation and growth of my clients as they navigate towards healing and well-being.

I am now offering EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist in treating trauma. I also utilize evidence-based therapy services including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Substance Use therapy, Trauma Specific Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, and more . Each treatment is tailored to fit the needs of individual clients. I meet clients where they are at in life and together we create achievable goals to work towards.

Do you frequently have racing thoughts or worry about the worst case scenario? Do you spend hours thinking about how you’re perceived by others? You might often feel lost and unsure about your next steps. You may feel unhappy or lack close relationships or a meaningful work life. What you want most is to regain your confidence, reduce anxiety, and discover a clearer sense of purpose.

I believe in therapy. It can play a vital role in coming to terms with the past, living life in the present, and anticipating the future… We cannot erase a difficult history. But we can change our relationship to our pain, and we can identify the things within our control. I believe that self-understanding is key for making healthy changes... The importance of working to understanding ourselves cannot be stressed enough.
