My name is Jane Miller, LISW (Licensed in OHIO) and I am honored to be joining this community. I have been in private practice for 30 years and my work is my passion. It is such a gift to be trusted by clients and to work together with a sense of safety. I act as a catalyst for change, growth and transformation. I deeply believe I was born to follow my dream of helping others live with the ability to fulfill their dreams. I provide individual psychotherapy for adults. I specialize in lesbian/ gay/bisexual/transgender issues, family/interpersonal relationships, chronic/ terminal illnesses, generalized anxiety disorders, bipolar, depression, and trauma. At age 24, I was faced with my own mortality which propelled me on a personal journey of healing and self-discovery. As a result, I am grateful to live each day to the fullest, cherishing every moment. I integrate holistic healing modalities that focus on the mind-body connection including relaxation/stress reduction techniques, guided imagery, visualization, meditation, somatic practices, incorporating polyvagal theory, QiGong, Reiki, pet therapy, creative arts, and movement techniques. For me, the therapeutic process is a learning process, one of exploration and healing. The client is the expert in his/her/their experience. I am here to guide you, to help you reach your goals, and to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who trained at the University of Pittsburgh. I am less interested in labels or "shoulds" and more interested in helping you understand what's actually going on in your life... and what might help you move forward with more steadiness and self-trust. We could fancy that up by saying I operate from a compassion-focused, client-centered perspective with a strong harm reduction lens -- but I kind of like my phrasing better! I work with people who want support around substance use; trauma, including complex or developmental trauma; relationship patterns; family-of-origin dynamics; and personal growth during times of transition. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in evidence-based practices (even if our conversations feel more human than clinical!). I've worked with folks from all walks of life, in a wide array of environments - typical outpatient offices, online, and even outdoors with unhoused communities. I also have a decade of specialized training and experience working with Veterans. So whether you've worn a uniform or not, walked into a therapy office or have never spoken to a therapist before, are a pro at tele-therapy or just trying it out for the first time, I'm probably a pretty good fit for you!

I am a compassionate and experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) with over 20 years of experience and dual credentials in mental health and substance abuse treatment in Ohio. I support adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship struggles, grief, and low motivation—helping clients feel safer, more grounded, and capable of change. My approach is collaborative and practical, offering both emotional support and evidence-based strategies to empower clients as they work toward meaningful, lasting growth. I was drawn to this work by my beloved family member, who lived her life with a mental illness. Watching her courage taught me early on that healing happens in relationships—when we feel seen, safe, and supported. Outside the office, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen, planning my next travel adventure, or getting some fresh air and exercise. These keep me grounded and curious—qualities I bring to our work.

You are taking steps to answer questions and find solutions to real problems. Many of us are navigating systems that were not designed to nourish us, and growing through hardships that leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I specialize in helping people (especially LGBTQ+ and minoritized communities) understand how therapeutic skills (acceptance and commitment, interpersonal skills, trauma work, emotion regulation) can be applied to overcome and liberate. By enhancing your strengths, reworking and relearning coping mechanisms, reframing beliefs about the world and yourself, and enacting mindful behaviors with intention, you can find a way through.

I believe that meaningful healing begins in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to create a supportive and authentic environment where you can explore your inner world with openness and safety. I strive to meet each person with genuine empathy and respect, recognizing that each individual’s journey is unique. Together, we work at your pace to understand your experiences, build insight, and move toward lasting growth and healing. I practice from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive perspective, honoring the diverse backgrounds and life experiences that shape who we are. I believe therapy works best when it’s a collaborative partnership; one that empowers you to develop self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in your life. My therapeutic foundation is rooted in person-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. At the same time, I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Systems Therapy, and Mindfulness. This integrative approach allows me to adapt our work together to best fit your individual needs, values, and goals.

My practice is focused primarily on offering culturally responsive, evidence-based therapy for stress, anxiety, ADHD, and more, with talk and play-based virtual options. I practice the "Smart but Scattered" approach to ADHD by Dr. Peg Dawson, helping both children and adults improve organization, focus, and impulse control. The core idea is to target the executive skills that are suffering and apply specific, practical techniques to manage those challenges. Examples include: breaking down large tasks, advocating for accommodations, using planning tools, and developing strategies for emotional control and time management.

Hello, I’m Tomika, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a supervisory designation. I offer telehealth therapy services to individuals and families across all age groups, with flexible appointments including evenings and weekends. My areas of expertise include trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), both of which have proven effective for my clients. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in creating meaningful change. Through ACT, I help clients reduce the struggle with difficult thoughts and emotions, normalize discomfort, build mindfulness skills, clarify values, and take action toward what matters most. With CBT, I assist clients in recognizing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while challenging unhelpful patterns and building healthier ones. Using DBT, I focus on helping clients regulate emotions, manage distress, and improve relationships through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. In my work with couples, I emphasize effective communication, rebuilding trust, and understanding one another’s needs to determine whether and how to move forward in their relationship. My therapeutic approach centers on creating a safe, supportive environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I believe therapy is collaborative and focus on empowering clients to enact positive change, develop practical skills, and achieve personal growth. Each session is designed to leave you with tools to support your journey toward peace of mind, balance, and fulfillment.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just not yourself lately? You're not alone and you don't have to figure it all out on your own. I help people who are juggling too much-whether it's the demands of work, parenting, school or personal struggles. By working together, we can help you find clarity and stronger sense of self. With over 20 years in the mental health field as a Licensed Independent Social Worker, I have had the privilege of working with children, teens and adults in diverse settings including hospitals, residential programs and schools. My approach is practical, supportive and tailored to you. I draw from evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Strengths-Based Practice while keeping sessions conversational not clinical.

I am comfortable working with clients from almost any age bracket, cultural background or socioeconomic group. As an LGBTQ+ ally, I am accepting of and welcome clients of any gender or identity. I am a systems based therapist, so I take notice of the systems around my client and how they might be impacting their experiences; I work well with individuals and family systems. I am especially experienced in my work with chronic pain/illness and complex trauma. As a therapist, I am intuitive and relaxed. I believe in empowering my clients to define and move toward their goals in a positive, validating and collaborative atmosphere, in which the client decides what feels safe and comfortable for them I believe that counseling is most impactful and effective when it is the product of a safe, unconditional therapeutic relationship based on trust and support. It can be difficult and even scary to seek assistance with trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. It's important to find someone who helps you feel accepted and safe while you are working to create a sense of stability and defining what will work for YOU. I would be honored to share this important journey with you.

As a practical person and therapist, I offer strength-based brief therapy to give your relationships that attention to create change and increase that potential to be well. I've supported individuals, couples, and families from various walks of life and backgrounds for over 12 years from working with family crises as case management to professional counseling.

Imagine a place where you are free to be your true self, a place where you can share your thoughts and be vulnerable without the fear of judgment. How would it feel to be seen, heard and understood? Hello, I am Ruth and as a therapist, I strive to create a space like this because this is where true healing and growth happen. We all have different life experiences and sometimes figuring out how to handle and cope with those experiences is challenging but you don't have to do it alone! Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, chronic stress, trauma, struggling with relationships or a life transition, change is possible. Through our work together I want to help you meet your goals and start living the life you have envisioned. I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome hurdles and habits that are holding you back. Asking for help isn't easy and you are not alone! We all need support at times and I am honored to be in a profession where I get to be that support. I would be honored to be that support for you! I am currently accepting adult patients only for telehealth counseling services.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Ohio rather than a city like Columbus?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Ohio.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Family Conflict?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Family Conflict, is filtering therapists in Ohio that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

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.

What to expect during your first session?

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.
