Licensed to practice in Ohio and accepts 37 insurances. Specializes in Coping Skills, Military/Veterans, Self Esteem and 10 more.
I am taking new folks on but I DO NOT have evening hours available at this time! anything from 3:00pm to closing is booked for several months. I am an art therapist and LPCC-S (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - Supervisor). I have been working in the mental health and addiction world for over 20 years. I have had the pleasure of joining forces with children from the age of 3, to children the age of 87. I come from a family that has a long line of veterans and first responders. I have a strong passion for supporting our veterans and first responders but am open to partnering with anyone wanting assistance in life. I welcome any in person sessions as I am very much an empath and thrive when I can feel each person’s emotions in person. I own my own practice, Freedom Wellness Center LLC, in Canal Fulton, Ohio. The link to my website is at the bottom of this page. If you have Medicaid insurance, you must contact me first to schedule an appointment with me. I have had a high amount of people not showing for their appointments and had to put a hold on all new Medicaid referrals until I can speak to you in person first to ensure you are serious about attending your appointments.
In our first session, whether in person or online, my focus will be allowing you some time to get to know me, and what to expect. My goal is to make you comfortable and forget you are with a “therapist.” I will ask a lot of questions to complete required paperwork, but over the years I have learned how to do this in a conversation, not an interview. I want to know who you are, what you are doing well, and what isn’t working so well. How can I help you and what is going to be the best way to do that?
I have been told for the past 20 plus years that my greatest strength is my ability to make people comfortable so quickly. People trust me. I am so thankful for this blessing in my life and want to continue to use it to help make a difference in people's lives. My other strength is being able to quickly adapt to each person's needs, learning style, and readiness for change.
My "ideal client" is anyone who wants to get healthier. I have always prided myself on being able to work with anyone who needs and wants help.

After 20 years in this field, I use all forms of treatment, DBT, CBT, MI, etc..., but with a solution focused approach. If we don't learn to be more mindful in our lives, none of the treatment methods would work....very well.

Elisa is very kind to me and she demonstrated a high understanding of my area of growth interest through the questions that she asked. She heard and understood me without judgment, and that made me feel good about myself.
