Are you so busy being a superhero caring for everyone else that you're not even a priority on your to do list? Are you tired of pretending everything is going great; when in reality, you're struggling to manage the daily stressors of life, are overwhelmed, down on yourself, unmotivated, and unappreciated? If this describes you, and you're in need of a safe space to relax your cape and unveil your truth, I am available to listen. "Not everything faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." If you're ready to face it, let's talk about it.

My blend of education and over 10 years of experience is what makes me unique as I strive in helping others in clarify their vision and making it a reality. I specialize in working with men, couples, adolescents, active duty military, first responders, and Veterans, but enjoy helping people no matter where they are in life. I am most impactful as a counselor helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, school or work issues, couples counseling, low self-esteem, family counseling, gambling addiction and those struggling with grief or life changes.

I have been known as the "Self-Empowering" therapist and the "Green Couch" therapist. My gift of exhortation has made me aware that I have the ability to speak hope and accountability into a person's life for them to choose their area of growth at the pace they choose, thus becoming the "Self-Empowering" therapist. My Clinical Specialty Areas: Depression, Anxiety, Holistic Treatment & Christian Counseling. My background in business and community work, along with clinical therapy, has allowed me to identify the need for "Green Couch therapy" as entrepreneurs and business owners are on the rise but have difficulty separating their self-worth from their business profit, or their mental health interferes with business productivity. I am a creative clinician to work with, thus making me open-minded to hearing your story and working at a pace that is comfortable to you. Most of my clients have stayed with me on average for 1.5 years because I allow them to feel validated and yet uncomfortable at times for them to be able to GROW.

Hi, I’m Dave! I am passionate about helping adults with ADHD, anxiety, & depression learn to lead more fulfilling lives. I know first-hand how it feels to live with these conditions, which means I can help you learn realistic and attainable ways to improve your quality of life. I offer sincere empathy for your situation while also helping you challenge yourself to make improvements in your day-to-day living. While simply talking about your problems can help decrease the intensity of your anxiety and depression in many circumstances, what’s even more helpful is to learn about how your mind works and how to handle tough issues when they come up. I'll help you learn about the connection between your thoughts and feelings, & how this can have such a strong impact on your happiness in life. Given my own experience with ADHD, anxiety, & depression, I truly understand many of the thoughts and feelings you may be having with these conditions and I know how much of a challenge it can be. But life doesn't have to feel like a constant struggle. Contact me to learn about how you can go from "just surviving" to actually thriving!

Are you struggling with maintaining your sanity as a wife, mother and caretaker? Or are you just someone who needs clarity on what your needs really are? While sometimes it is difficult to understand your own needs, therapy is a way to maintain your self care, learn how to gain better understanding and communicate your needs and feelings, to help you address barriers to healthy relationships and accomplishing personal goals. As a therapist I have 14 years of experience in helping adults and adolescents identify their own needs and collaborate to help them recognize how to improve upon those barriers. My primary interest is in helping individuals gain insight into their self worth in order to better manage life and mental health barriers. In therapy with me clients learn how to adjust negative thinking, improve self care, adjust self esteem and adjust your ability to believe in yourself. Sure therapy can be scary and even stigmatized but with the right collaboration it can be a godsend. Let me help you on your journey, let me help you adjust your crown.

It is with much admiration and respect that I engage with clients in the journey to wellness. As a therapist, I have always believed in the strength of the individual to heal. I have a depth of knowledge and years of experience knowing how mental health concerns impact individuals. It is part of who you are, but it doesn't need to define you. It can be difficult to seek help when things seem overwhelming and that is why I have always tried to create a warm, compassionate and safe environment. I am accepting of wherever you may be in your journey of self-discovery and growth. I have been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 1998. Prior to working in private practice, much of my career has been working with teens in the foster care system.

Hello! So happy to see you. I am Kenya Liddell. Having had experienced many losses in my life, I often wonder what to do next or how to move forward. Sometimes life happens so quickly that it seems like there is not enough time to catch a breath. It's a scary feeling to have to figure out the hustle and bustle of life while still hurting inside. Fearful of being misunderstood, judged or like "it" may not work may be the negative thoughts that have developed during such a devastating loss. Think about getting back to doing the things that you once loved. Think about learning to live the best life that you imagined you could. Think about feeling better about yourself. Together you and I can work to get a better understanding of your loss and create a positive path to growth and healing. You are not alone. Your healing journey is a just call or click away. You can do it. I look forward to working with you.

It embraces the belief systems of the past that affect your present. It's a state-of-mind that defines thinking that affects emotional awareness. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept. Carrying guilt or shame of the past, triggers the conflict of now. I don't offer advice - I offer choices - a chance to choose your own method of healing that fits you - not something others feel 'should' be. Come. Sit. Talk. Let's wander your path together. Licensed in Kentucky, Ohio, South Carolina, Washington DC, Arizona, and Florida

Are you at a transitional time in your life (i.e. adolescence to adulthood, starting college, becoming a parent, or getting married)? Are you struggling with self-esteem, self-confidence or self-worth? Are you looking to develop or strengthen your spirituality practices? Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. In either case, using spirituality can be integral to coping with the challenges you may face and I can assist you with developing strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve your outlook in life. Do these or similar experiences impact how you see yourself, others, or the path of your future? I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio. Since 2018, I have provided a number of specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with challenging life experiences. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, motivation, self-esteem, self-confidence, improving communication, confidence, addiction, and trauma. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have been blessed to serve in the following settings: community mental health, college-based community mental health (which also included BIPOC programming), in-patient hospitalization for substance and mental health, field-based residential supportive services for women with co-occurring disorders, and private practice. Client well-being is crucial in each service I provide, and I meet each person where they are to help them through their personal life's obstacles. I will tailor our dialog and treatment efforts to meet your unique and specific needs as we collaborate to heal your whole person (mind, body, and spirit).

I entered the behavioral health field after seeking professional help for substance abuse, depression, and anxiety. I became a Chemical Dependency Counselor in 1995 and received my MSW in Clinical Social Work from Ohio State in 2002. I have been a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio since 2005. I became a LCSW in Pennsylvania in 2014 and an LCSW in Maryland in 2022. I have worked mostly with adults and some teenagers dealing primarily with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I have a holistic perspective of mental wellness and view counseling and other healthy life choices as a way to achieve personal empowerment and self-actualization. This includes family-of-origin work and working on letting go of ingrained thinking and behaviors that hold a person back from achieving the quality of life they want and deserve. I am trauma-informed and comfortable working with members of the LGBT community. I also have experience working with grief and loss issues. My primary modalities are Cognitive-Behavioral, Solutions Focused, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. Counseling is a client-driven process and is about the issues and concerns the client wants to address and work on.
