Is your child or teen struggling to manage emotions, behaviors, anxiety, or ADHD symptoms? Are they dealing with problems at school, such as office referrals, poor grades, or bullying? These are just some of the issues I have worked with, in more than 25 years of experience with youth as a teacher and mental health therapist. Are you finding it overwhelming to cope with your anxiety, ADHD symptoms, or low self-esteem? Do you wish you could take control of your negative thinking instead of it controlling you? I have experience working as a therapist with adults facing these concerns. I welcome you/your child, and everyone age 6 to 65+, to my practice!

Women's Issues
I grew up in the Cleveland area and then came to Michigan where I completed my Bachelor's degree at Hope College where I studied social work. While in school I completed a field placement working as a probation officer and spent time in Mental Health and Sobriety Treatment Court. After graduation, my now husband and I moved back to Cleveland where I completed my Masters in Social Work with a specialization in Health Studies at Case Western Reserve University. While in school I completed internships with the Cleveland Clinic in their Adolescent Psychiatric Unit as well as an interdisciplinary internship at Care Alliance. Following graduation, I worked in admissions for psychiatric and detox services for six years. I then wanted to expand my skill set and pursued a position providing therapy to health care employees as an EAP counselor at a local hospital system. I found that I really love the opportunity to get to know my clients and to walk alongside them on their journey.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral challenges, post-partum depression, parenting, chronic illness, and grief. I am available to see clients in Kentucky in-person or telehealth, and Michigan or Minnesota via telehealth. The person centered approach means that the client is the center of everything from the initial assessment, to the development of the goals, to the treatment that is provided. It is important that you know you are accepted and with therapy you are able to address the concerns you have and learn to effectively work through them. I understand therapy can feel uncomfortable and the thought of sharing yourself with someone you don't know (yet) can be overwhelming. Give me a call and we can talk for an initial conversation to see if it will be a good fit.

Allow me to assist you in navigating stressors, parenting, depression, anxiety, change, addiction, PTSD, trauma, esteem, behaviors, loss or trauma to enhance your well being, improve coping and problem solving. I would love to support you in meeting your needs.

I am a counselor who embodies empathy, compassion, and motivation in guiding my clients toward healing and self-discovery. My training in TEAM CBT, developed by Dr. David Burns, emphasizes the transformative power of confronting negative thoughts to drive positive emotional change. This method, rooted in the principle that 'The Truth Shall Set You Free,' focuses on identifying and challenging cognitive distortions. Additionally, as a Christian Counselor, I seamlessly integrate Christian principles with traditional talk therapy and TEAM CBT, ensuring that these approaches complement rather than conflict. This holistic blend allows for a therapy experience where clients address their mental health challenges and find deeper meaning and alignment with their spiritual beliefs.

About me, HI, I’m a Licensed Clinical Master’s Level Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. For over 26 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, families, children, and veterans as they navigate life’s struggles. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by marital conflict, discouraged by low self-esteem, or stressed by the demands of work, parenting, and relationships. Others are parents seeking guidance for children and preteens with ADHD, needing support with school challenges, IEPs, 504 plans, and academic success. No matter the circumstance, I strive to meet clients where they are, honoring their unique story and helping them feel seen, supported, and understood. I provide compassionate, client-centered, and strength-based therapy, using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma-informed therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. Together, we focus on building coping skills, manage stress, behavior management, communication skills, resilience training, and emotional balance. My goal is to support you in finding practical coping tools while also fostering confidence, personal growth, and healthier relationships at home, school, and work. With over 15 years of experience working with veterans, I also support trauma recovery, reintegration into civilian life, and connection to housing and community resources. I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work with immigrants and first-generation individuals, supporting identity development, acculturation, family conflict, and multicultural stress. Whether you are an adult managing workplace stress and relationship challenges, a parent seeking counseling or parent coaching for your child’s ADHD, or someone looking to rebuild confidence and self-esteem, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore, heal, and grow. My mission is to provide therapy and emotional support that helps you feel empowered, supported, and equipped to move forward with greater clarity, strength, resilience, and overall wellness.

Meet Nycole Mother to two bold, beautiful children. Wife to a wonderfully neuro-spicy husband. Avid plant lover and believer in growth; inside and out. Being a therapist isn’t just my career, it’s who I am. I’m deeply drawn to people who are ready to look inward, get honest, and do the hard, healing work of change. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. They’ve carried trauma, ADHD, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or perfectionism for so long that it feels like part of who they are. Together, we slow things down. We look at what’s really happening beneath the overwhelm, whether it’s reactivity, shame, anxiety, or burnout- and we start rebuilding from there. My work focuses on helping you reconnect to your body, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover the parts of you that got lost in survival mode. Therapy with me isn’t passive. You’ll be challenged with compassion, supported in accountability, and encouraged to make small but meaningful shifts that align with the life you want to live. Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new- it’s about returning to yourself. As Abraham Maslow said, “One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” If you’re ready to choose growth; to understand your mind, your emotions, and your patterns with clarity and compassion- let’s start the work together

My name is Jeffrey, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan, and a Licensed Social Worker and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I have also been an ordained Lutheran pastor since 1989. My professional career began as an Associate Pastor in a Lutheran church in northwest Ohio, where I focused on youth ministry, Christian Education, and pastoral counseling. I entered Social Work in 1995 when I began work as a Family Worker in a residential facility for hard to place juvenile offenders, and then worked in a few outpatient counseling agencies providing mental health and substance use disorder services. I have experience working with people of all ages on general mental health issues, such as managing depression and anxiety, and have specialized in the areas of PTSD recovery and domestic violence and sexual abuse victims and offenders. Throughout my counseling career, I have maintained activity in ministry. I was trained in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and also have had training as a Spiritual Director. My counseling approach is generally non-directive, using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in a Solution Focused, Client Centered frame work. I can incorporate spirituality as much or as little as the client desires, from not referencing spirituality at all to fully engaging the spiritual dimension of life. As a caring, empathetic listener, people find it easy to talk with me and be open about what needs attention in their lives. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, my name is Valarie James, and I am a licensed therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges while building healthier, more fulfilling lives. I bring a unique approach to counseling by integrating traditional therapeutic methods with wellness practices that honor the connection between mind and body. With dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Health, as well as extensive training in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care to each client I serve. I work with adults across diverse backgrounds who are seeking support for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also have experience providing couples counseling, helping partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and develop deeper connections. My practice is inclusive and client-centered—I aim to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore new possibilities for growth. The clients I serve often share that therapy with me has given them the tools to break free from cycles of negative thinking, heal from past wounds, and cultivate healthier habits in both mind and body. Whether it’s guiding a client through the weight of trauma with EMDR, teaching practical CBT strategies to manage stress, or supporting couples as they reconnect, my goal is always to help clients uncover their strengths and move forward with resilience. The impact I strive to have is simple yet profound: to empower individuals and couples to live with more clarity, balance, and confidence. I believe healing is not only possible—it’s within reach when you have the right support. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
