Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 45227

Are you struggling with current and/or past issues that are not allowing you to live richly and connect deeply to others? Clients experience hope, empowerment and an heightened sense of well-being through a trauma focused, holistic and client centered lens. I connect with clients through kindness, care and empathy. I also possess expertise in gender-based violence and the short and long term effects of trauma. Clients feel supported and develop positive coping skills through the use of evidence based tools to heal and recover from daily stress, past and current trauma/abuse & relationship issues in order to live their best life.

I offer professional testing for autism/ADHD in adults, along with comprehensive mental health assessments. I am a neurodiversity-affirming provider, with extensive lived and professional experience in intersectional neurodivergence.

I do my best work with adults who experience the cumulative effects of microaggressions steeped in oppressive attitudes. I enjoy assisting clients with clarifying their most cherished values and helping them construct enforceable boundaries to protect their peace, the relationships that matter most to them, and, if need be, ending relationships that no longer serve them. I am honored when I am entrusted with the task of helping clients work through the traumas they endured so that they can reclaim ownership of their lives, bodies, and choices and return to feeling able to live safely in the moment.

You crave peace and normalcy again. But everywhere you turn, you find anxiety, overwhelm, and hopelessness staring you in the face. You feel like you are barely getting by each day, and hang on to the one shred of hope you have left, which seems to be fading with each new day and each new disappointment. You feel like you’ve tried everything- traditional talk therapy, yoga, self-help methods, spending time in nature, everything, but nothing has a lasting effect on the fear, exhaustion, and overwhelm you feel inside. You know soon something has to give. However, deep down you still have a shred of hope for something better.

It is exceedingly courageous to acknowledge the pain you carry and take the first step towards healing. Seeking out help presents daunting searches that require a sense of vulnerability and I hope to bring support through each of these steps. My primary goal is to provide a safe space for each individual - as this is the most important element of the therapeutic process - and from that foundation work collaboratively with you to build into your sense of agency, autonomy, and innate resilience as a human being.

I love walking alongside people as they realize their own resilience and strength. I am passionate about working collaboratively with my clients to find the best ways of helping them heal, grow, and thrive. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages on a variety of different topics, such as adjustment, attachment, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and emotional regulation, but I have a great love for working with survivors of trauma, abuse, and those who are experiencing loss.

You've lived through something terrible that most people do not understand. There is a daily battle inside your head. You constantly fight back memories of what you've experienced. You wake up in a cold sweat with your heart racing. You pick up extra shifts at work, and your phone is a welcome distraction from your thoughts. You grapple with why this has happened to you. When you're at a game or the store, you're exhausted from scanning the crowd. You desperately want to move on and feel some relief, but the harder you try to forget it, the worse you feel. These are normal reactions to a horribly abnormal situation.

Hello and I am looking forward to working together! I am currently accepting new clients for both in person and teletherapy appointments in Ohio and Florida. I specialize in working with adults and teens with a variety of concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, trauma, to relationship issues, addiction issues, LGBTQ+ spectrum and life transitions/challenges. I believe that a quality therapeutic relationship is built on trust and authenticity. Therapy is about change, gaining skills, knowledge and confidence in a safe and supportive environment. I work hard with my clients and support them to make the changes they want to make.

Hi there, I'm Kati! I’ve been working in the field of mental health for over 7 years. My early experiences consisted of supporting children and adolescents in crisis. I’d like to say that these positions, as well as having my own life experiences, have given me an edge in understanding the complexities of mental health and the human experience. Over time, my care for helping others expanded to an enthusiasm for working with people of all ages. I currently work with ages 11 years old and up.

I assist clients who struggle with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression and want to bring about change in their lives. I help clients who want to find a balance and stability within themselves to learn and reconnect to a more desired life.

I'm not sure I have an ideal client. I believe in meeting a person where they are and moving forward from there. I feel people often come to therapy to help find the best version of themselves. I enjoy helping others find solutions to their problems, helping them identify their strengths, and deciding how to improve their weaknesses.

No matter the circumstances, the facts remain the same: our bodies are designed to keep us safe and reduce discomfort. Issues arise when we are no longer needing to seek safety yet unknowingly maintain these unhelpful patterns of beliefs and behaviors. Our unconscious attempts to insulate ourselves from harm turn into patterns that destroy the connections to ourselves and others that we desire most. My goal is to provide a therapeutic relationship for clients as they gain understanding and develop new beliefs and behaviors to transform their lives, reach their goals and have the relationships they ultimately desire.

I have experience working with all types of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and complex trauma. My secondary specialties include severe chronic mental illness, relationship problems, recovery from previous domestic violence, LTGBQ+ concerns, self-harm, and developmental or attachment wounds from childhood. I continue to take continuing education classes to improve my knowledge and skills in these areas. I especially enjoy working with clients motivated to improve their lives and willing to take responsibility for their success rather than expecting others to do their work.

My ideal client is open about their issues and needs and motivated to work through them. My client's goal will be to build a foundation of good mental health that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives and use to improve their own lives as well as their family and friends. My ideal client comes to therapy because they want to be there and value what they can learn from their therapist and themselves.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

Something in your life isn’t working right now. Maybe it’s a close relationship where you don’t feel seen or understood. Maybe something happened that you can’t get out of your head, and every time your mind wanders back to it, you feel a tightening in your chest. Maybe you’re doing something that you know is holding you back, but you just can’t seem to stop. Whatever it is, something in your life is keeping you from feeling at peace and excited to wake up in the morning. Take a moment and think about what your day would look like if you felt seen in your relationships and free from trauma and addiction. Let's make that reality.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. I specialize in depression, anxiety, women's issues, life transitions, grief, and eating disorders. My clients will learn how to express their emotions and use effective coping skills to manage symptoms. I strive to provide a safe space where my clients feel heard, welcomed and can be open and say anything on their minds without judgment.

What makes you...you? If you've ever struggled with this question, welcome to Skyway Counseling. Your story is unique and I am grateful you’re choosing to share it with me. I believe that the counseling relationship should be honest, encouraging, nonjudgemental, and collaborative. I know you are capable of navigating these obstacles, whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, or trauma. In addition to the previous list, I also specialize working with transracial adult adoptees and marginalized people through trauma and identity work. My goal is to help you build your own skyway to connect all the parts of you together.

Each person holds a view of the world that has been shaped by unique experiences, interactions, and cultural influences. With a strengths-based, person-centered approach to counseling, I am guided by respect for and understanding of this principle. I support others in recognizing their strengths and building the resilience necessary to manage challenges with greater ease.
