I consider myself the Dolly Parton of mental wellness: all humans are welcome, being clear is kind, and, like Dolly, sometimes we all need a little help navigating life from 9-to-5. I provide therapy in Ohio and Kentucky, and I also offer holistic wellness coaching and integrative psychedelic support to help you explore growth from multiple angles. In our sessions, I tailor the process to fit you—addressing experiences, patterns, or distortions that might leave your cup of ambition dry. With a transparent, solution-focused approach, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change that goes beyond our 50 minutes.

Life can get messy, relationships can be complicated, and sometimes our own thoughts can be our biggest obstacle. You don't have to have it all together to start therapy, and you certainly don't have to pretend you're okay. I'm Krystal, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, grief, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem. I'm down to earth, open-minded, and straightforward. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, even on your worst days. My approach is compassionate, honest, and practical. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I don't believe therapy is one-size-fits-all, and I'm not the kind of therapist who just nods and listens. I'll ask questions, help you connect the dots, challenge unhelpful patterns, and give you tools you can actually use. Sometimes we'll have tough conversations, sometimes we'll laugh, but we'll always keep it real. My goal isn't to tell you how to live your life, but to help you feel more confident, capable, and in control of it.

Hello, my name is Ginger Van Meter. I look at each individual as an iceberg! There's a tiny piece of ice you can see on the surface but down below and much deeper is a giant piece of ice that no one can see. That giant piece of ice represents all the stressors, emotional and mental health concerns that go back many years. Sometimes childhood trauma or even current events can create problems that we just can't seem to solve. I will help you to break that ice down and learn new skills to get relief from the symptoms that stand in the way of making life more manageable. I always strive to do the best I can do to provide relief and comfort and help life become more manageable.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will. From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas? The duality of life. Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress. My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.

Hi, I'm Rachael! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in private practice for five years, but have been working in therapeutic settings as a social worker for 15 years. I work with a variety of individuals and have an extensive background working in the field of addiction and recovery; and currently work with individuals navigating the stressors of everyday life, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the many constant demands of today's world that I believe affect all of us on multiple levels. I work with clients who are often high-functioning on the outside but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally. I'm human alongside you and I too know what it feels like to feel stuck or simply like there's a bigger gap between the version of ourself we imagine and the one we feel we can access at times. My approach is both supportive and practical and I aim to create an environment where you feel seen, understood, and capable of being honest both with me and with yourself. I find when people can simply breathe out in a safe space, they feel more able to fully develop the tools and insight necessary to create the lasting change they seek. I value authenticity in the therapy process and meet clients where they are, whether they are coming in for short-term, immediate support or deeper, long-term work.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
