Therapists in Toledo, OH

I believe that stronger self-awareness better equips individuals to set goals and make choices that affirm integrity, authenticity, and wholeness. As a clinician, I hope to create a safe environment where all can come to know themselves more fully and implement practical steps to live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

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.

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.

We can all feel overwhelmed, isolated, the loss of "normal," or battling the weight of not feeling good enough. Please know you're not alone. I provide a supportive environment for those navigating these challenging emotions and life situations. Together, we'll embark on a journey toward healing and self-discovery. We will work together to increase understanding and empower you to overcome these hurdles. You deserve to feel valued and supported.

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.

Whether you or your teen needs help with managing depression, reducing anxiety, improving decision making, developing effective communication skills, stress management, strengthening your social life, or successfully creating lifestyle changes (from divorce/relationship strains, school changes, to parenting struggles or health issues), my personal mission is to provide hope, help, and healing to those in need. A lot of what I do is help people learn to see situations in a new way and be prepared to handle these challenges. I enjoy working with older children, middle school students, teenagers, young adults, and college-aged.

In the words of Debbie Reynolds, 'being normal is vastly overrated.' And let's face it, life right now feels anything but normal. Big emotions leave you feeling drained like you just ran a marathon. You are highly sensitive to the energies around you, leaving you to carry burdens that aren't necessarily your own. And let's face it, maybe it feels like the only routine you have right now is telling others "I'm fine" when things aren't all that fine. I want to let you know that I hear you and I want to help.

Life can be challenging! Your pain does not define you or own you. Let me help you to find abilities that will lead to a meaningful and joyful life.

I understand that life can be difficult, some things are within our control and other things just aren't. I also know for some there is a challenge to seek support. Let me first congratulate you in making a tough, yet hopeful choice. I have worked with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, with a wide variety of needs. I am excited to work with you, whether dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma, or just seeking a better quality of life.

I believe that everyone has the power to heal. Experiences of our past negatively showing up in our present, difficult relationships, loss, and unexpected/unwanted change are painful but not rare. We are left to find ourselves again, rebuild, grieve, and find a new way to live. Through healing and connection, we are able to know deep within that we will be o.k. We can find peace and power within ourselves. We can create a new story. I would be honored to help.

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. You are driven by a desire to improve your overall well-being and pursue your dreams with greater certainty and self-assuredness.

I believe therapy should be about a caring and collaborative relationship that helps you build the life that you desire. I am here to be supportive, encouraging, and emphasize already positive qualities, as well as develop effective coping skills, thinking patterns and insight. In a casual and safe environment, therapy will focus on processing experiences, building skills and developing a healthy lifestyle to cope with whatever depression, anxiety or trauma symptoms you are struggling with. I want to help you build a life you want by decreasing the negative impact of those symptoms and increasing your ability to cope with them.

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.
