Jillian Salmons
Hi, I'm Jill. Thanks for stopping by. I've been licensed in Ohio since 2002. I earned my bachelor's from Ohio University in Athens and my master's from The Ohio State University in Columbus. I have experience in both mental health and addiction treatment. I truly love what I do! I like to bring a positive, solution-focused approach to therapy.
Having worked in this field as a direct service provider, a clinical supervisor, a mentor, and leader, I bring knowledge and experience to your situation that may not be easily found elsewhere.
I understand how hard it may be to take that first step to reach out for help. I want to hear your story and what has been going on with you so that you feel heard and supported. I provide education about how the brain and the body work together (and against each other at times!) Life can be overwhelming-you don't have to go through it alone. Let's get started today.
First session
The first session is called an intake; it will be me listening to what brought you here in the first place and finding out what's most important to focus on for the time being. We can start working on what therapy will look like for you, the bounds of confidentiality, goals for treatment and what you hope to get out of your time with me.
Strengths
Having worked in this field as a direct service provider, a clinical supervisor, a mentor, and leader, I bring knowledge and experience to your situation that may not be easily found elsewhere. I've had clients say that I helped them get to the "core of their issues while assuring them what they were going through was normal and that although it may be difficult to solve some of the problems at hand, they can do it!" I am a warm and compassionate therapist who infuses humor and reality in my treatment approach.
Ideal clients
Over the past 24 years, I have provided therapy to people of all ages, across all socioeconomic backgrounds, with a variety of mental health issues ranging from mild to severe. I provide each person with a warm and welcoming environment that allows them to safely tell their story regardless of what all that story may involve. I am here to support you in that process.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate CBT to show the connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Together we can identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and create more balanced thinking. Learning and using these skills can help you feel better in your day- to day life.
