Hi there, I'm Anna! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio, with 10 years of experience in the field. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, and LGBTQ+/gender-affirming care. I have experience treating these concerns as well as a wide range of other mental health issues in an ever-changing, highly imperfect world that I know can feel difficult, if not impossible, to navigate. I believe therapy is sacred work in the sense that to witness another person's story, pain, and experiences is a privilege that I work hard to earn. Your story and your trust are your own, and it is my goal to create a space where you feel comfortable and safe sharing it while we work towards meaningful change.
I’m a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio and a retired Air Force veteran. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes. You might be feeling overwhelmed by something happening now, or you may be ready to work through experiences you’ve carried for years. We can start with whatever feels most important to you.
Some of the people I work with find themselves replaying conversations, saying yes when they want to say no, or going quiet when they feel hurt. Others are adjusting to a loss, feeling anxious without knowing why, or trying to figure out why the same conflicts keep coming up. Together, we can explore how your experiences have shaped the way you cope, trust others, and ask for what you need.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and structured. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Master Resilience Trainer, I bring experience helping people make sense of what they’re feeling and find practical ways to respond. That might mean practicing how to set a boundary, finding ways to get through an anxious moment, or making room for grief when everyone around you seems to have moved on. We’ll work at a pace that feels manageable and focus on changes that matter to you outside of sessions.

I have been practicing since 2010 and have experience working with individuals, couples and families.

Hi, I’m Shannon, and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the start.
I work with individuals who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s next in their lives. Many individuals come to me for support with anxiety, depression, and life transitions, whether that’s navigating changes in relationships, career paths, identity, or overall direction. I also support children with challenges related to school, self-esteem, ADHD, and anxiety, helping them build confidence, coping skills, and emotional awareness in a supportive and age-appropriate way.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical. I often use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be holding you back and develop tools you can use in your everyday life to manage stress, build confidence, and move forward with intention.
I believe therapy should not only help you feel better, but also give you skills that last beyond our sessions. Whether you’re working through a difficult period or simply looking for more direction and clarity, I’m here to support you in a way that feels approachable, grounded, and tailored to your needs.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to help.

What inspires me most is helping individuals recognize that meaningful change can happen step by step, thought by thought, and choice by choice. I want therapy to be more than a place to talk. I want you to leave with tools you can carry throughout life as you continue to create and recreate what happiness, peace, and being able to say “I am okay” mean to you.
I believe counseling should feel like a real conversation with someone who is genuinely invested in helping you move forward. My approach is supportive, direct, practical, and holistic, looking at the whole person rather than simply focusing on symptoms. A big part of my work involves helping clients identify the beliefs, thought patterns, and experiences that may be shaping how they see themselves, their relationships, and the challenges they face.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-doubt, relationship concerns, and performance-related challenges.

Hi, I'm Jen, a Licensed Independent Social Worker and much of my career has been spent supporting individuals and families through some of life's most difficult moments. My professional experience spans outpatient and inpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, emergency medicine, and child welfare. These experiences have shaped the clinician I am today. They have taught me that people are far more than the hardest thing that has ever happened to them; and that healing rarely follows a straight line.
The Person Behind the Therapist: I am LatinX and the daughter of a first-generation immigrant. My culture, family, and experiences have shaped how I see the world and understand the importance of connection, community, and belonging. As a social worker, I also believe that mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Our relationships, culture, identity, communities, access to resources, and experiences with larger systems can all affect our well-being. I am passionate about racial, social, and economic justice, and I bring that social-work lens into my practice. I am also proud to be an LGBTQIA+ ally and am committed to creating an affirming environment where people can feel respected and safe being themselves. You don't have to leave parts of yourself at the door when you come to therapy.
What I Want You to Know: You don't need the right words. You don't have to know exactly where to begin. My role isn't to tell you who you should be or what your life should look like. My role is to listen, help you make sense of what you're experiencing, and walk alongside you as you work toward where you want to go. You simply have to take the first step. From there, we can begin together.

I maintain a part-time outpatient therapy practice while helping to lead a mental health agency in Virginia (where I live).

We work to safely manage and resolve the stress of the job without requiring you to endlessly over-verbalize old calls, maintaining absolute discretion and flexible scheduling tailored to public safety professionals.
Hi, I'm Barbara Snow. But I prefer to be called Barb. I am an LISW-s. Which is a fancy term for someone who loves to help others help themselves to find solutions to life's challenges. I have a Bachelor and Master of Social Work. I am excited to start a new chapter in my life and begin seeing clients only through telehealth.
My approach is down to earth. I meet you where you are. I listen for what you do not say. I strike a balance between accepting you just as you are but gently motivating you to implement sustainable change that you can feel proud of. I am comfortable in spaces that feel embarrassing. I bring life experience into the therapy session in the way in which I show up for you.

I have worked with ages from 8-91. My personality is very calm and relaxed. I like to make most of my therapy sessions into conversations instead of constant questioning. I give my Clients the space to talk freely about any problems they are facing and work with them on an action plan.

I believe you are the expert in your life experiences and we will work together to develop goals and strengths to improve your overall quality of life.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Bowling Green State University and my Master of Social Work from the University of Toledo. I have been working with individuals and communities since 1998 and became independently licensed in 2011. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory Designation. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, and older adults. My experience includes working with individuals, couples, and families, particularly people who are marginalized, underserved, unhoused, or living with serious and persistent mental illness and co-occurring conditions. Much of my clinical work has centered on individuals impacted by significant trauma, including complex and generational trauma. I recognize that mental health concerns rarely exist in isolation. Trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, and other life stressors can intersect in complex ways. I am also interested in helping clients explore patterns in their relationships with food, body image, social media, technology, and other aspects of daily life that may affect emotional well-being, self-esteem, and connection with others. My therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic and relational principles, influenced by Carl Rogers and Virginia Satir. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, adapting these approaches to each client's individual experiences, strengths, needs, and goals.

My goal is to support you not only in navigating life's difficulties but also in creating a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and aligned with who you are.

My name is Margaret Whitmore, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I began working in the mental health field in 2015 as a case manager.

I am dedicated to providing counseling services to those looking to reignite their spark in life.
Hi, I’m Brittany, an LISW in Ohio, wife, and mom of three with a heart for supporting women through the many seasons and transitions of life. I’m especially passionate about women’s and maternal mental health and creating a space where women feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported.
I’m the founder of Selah Maternal Wellness, a virtual private practice where I work with women navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, relationships, identity, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the everyday challenges that come with carrying so many roles.
While maternal mental health holds a special place in my heart, my work is not limited to motherhood. I welcome women in all stages of life who are looking for a space to slow down, reconnect with themselves, build on their strengths, and create meaningful change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on meeting you where you are. I also offer Christian counseling and faith-based therapy for women who would like to incorporate their faith into their healing journey, while always honoring each client’s individual beliefs and preferences.
The name Selah reflects much of what I hope to offer through this work—a moment to pause, reflect, breathe, and reconnect. As women, we can spend so much time caring for everyone and everything around us that we forget we need care, too!
Beyond individual therapy, I offer local workshops and group sessions to help women and moms connect, learn, and build supportive community. I’m also currently working toward my PMH-C certification to deepen my ability to support women throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Whether through individual therapy, faith-based support, workshops, or groups, my hope is for Selah to be a place where women can pause, feel supported, reconnect with who they are, and know they don’t have to navigate life alone.

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over a decade of clinical experience. I hold a bachelor's in social work (BSW) from Capital University and a master's in clinical mental health counseling from The University of Dayton. In addition to having my LPCC, I also hold a license as a Licensed Social Worker (LSW). I have been in the helping profession for 15+ years. I have always had a passion for helping others. My earliest memories go back to teaching my stuffed animals and baby dolls to helping my next-door neighbor who had Down Syndrome, learn and recite her ABCs. As well as listening to my friends in elementary school vent about their traumas (I clearly didn't know that's what I was doing). I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, self-esteem and so much more. My goal is to help you reach holistic wellness and happiness.
This is not just a job for me, I am on a mission to help empower women in all areas of life. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, so I work to create a space where you feel truly safe, heard, and challenged. Therapy is a partnership, and I’m here to show up for you, offering support and guidance as you work toward healing and growth.
I am a compassionate, experienced Licensed Independent Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist with 20+ years of clinical practice spanning individual therapy, couples therapy, group counseling, and family systems work. I have expertise in working with compulsive behaviors, sex therapy, and trauma-informed care. I have experience with clients who have specialized issues related to various forms of neurodivergence.
I’m M. Brandon Blue, MA, LPCC, NCC, and I work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are becoming. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and honest. I help people slow down enough to understand the stories, beliefs, emotions, and relationship patterns that are shaping their lives. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relational conflict, spiritual concerns, identity questions, or major life transitions.
I do not believe therapy is only about reducing symptoms, although that matters. I also believe therapy is about helping people live with more clarity, agency, emotional honesty, and alignment. In our work together, we may explore what you have been carrying, what you have been avoiding, what matters most to you, and what kind of life you want to move toward. I bring a balance of compassion and directness, creating space for you to feel understood while also helping you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with clinical experience serving a very diverse population after working for 5 years in crisis services for a major metropolitan children's hospital. While there, I was able to gain significant experience using a wide variety of interventions from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused brief therapy, and strategic family therapy to help children, adolescents, and their family's during the aftermath of their child's mental health crisis. I look forward to translating those interventions and skills to helping my clients develop coping skills, identify maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior, improve communication with supportive loved ones, and create realistic life goals for themselves then develop a plan to reach them. I am very open to feedback from my clients as to what would be helpful for them and how they like therapy to be structured. However, I am not conflict avoidant and I gently challenge my clients to step outside of their comfort zone because I truly believe no one would come to therapy if they weren't seeking change. I also believe that therapists are "in the business of putting ourselves out of business." I don't want my clients to need me forever so I aim to help them help themselves.
In my free time, I dance (tap, ballet, and contemporary as well as just bopping around to music while I cook or clean), hike, and spend time with family or friends. I love to travel and aim to do as much of it as I can. I love learning whether it is about people, different cultures, new therapy styles, recipes, styles of dance or historical events. I also really enjoy cleaning and organizing for myself or helping others with those tasks.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than a decade of experience helping adults manage anxiety, ADHD, trauma, addiction, anger, relationship stress, and major life transitions. I have worked extensively with first responders, military veterans, professionals, and individuals navigating high-pressure environments. I specialize in men’s mental health and provide practical, goal-oriented therapy focused on meaningful progress and lasting change.
Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and have worked with offenders, anger management clients, couples, teens and adults struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Through a strengths based approach, my clients learn more about themselves thus improving self-confidence, communication, mood and overall outlook on life. I love serving my teen and couples clients via the Gallup strengths test. This test helps individuals understand where their energy is highest and what they value most. It's not about "strengths", but values. I believe one of the best things we can do for ourselves is take the time to truly understand ourselves as this helps us learn to communicate effectively, be productive, overcome procrastination and more. This is one tool of many I enjoy using to help my clients.
I am a compassionate and client-centered mental health therapist dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions, providing a supportive space where healing and growth can take place.
My approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Family Therapy, and faith based therapy (when desired). I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, practical, and grounded in trust. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and align your actions with your values and goals.
I am committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking support for a specific concern or pursuing deeper personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you in the process.
Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in my practice! Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a native of Youngstown, OH and currently reside in Columbus, OH. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice both from Youngstown State University. I love spending time outdoors, hikes are my go-to activity to clear my head. Not a day goes by that I don’t cook something, I was raised in a kitchen so it’s like second nature to me. I’m in my safe place when spending time with my son, he’s such a bright light. I’m always on the hunt for a really good movie that makes me think and reading is my calming practice.
I am an EMDR Therapist trained through an EMDRIA-Approved Program and is licensed in the state of Ohio as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor under the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. I have over 16 years of direct care experience working with adults, adolescents, small children, family units. couples and first responders.
Prior to my role as an EAP counselor I served as Associate Director for a local charter school, Counselor Supervisor in residential treatment for adjudicated youth, Program Manager for maternal-child health fatherhood initiatives, and provided individual counseling, couples counseling and intensive family therapy for several years.
In my work I emphasize the importance of being trauma-informed and understanding multi-cultural competence in clinical service.
I am an African American female with a strong educational and professional foundation in both mental health and business. I earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from South University and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Cleveland State University. My combined educational background and life experience have shaped my understanding of human behavior, emotional triggers, coping mechanisms, and the importance of healthy boundaries. I am committed to helping individuals feel seen, heard, and understood while supporting them in developing practical tools for emotional and personal growth.
A native of Cleveland, OH, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor holding over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults for a broad range of concerns including grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, family stressors, attention and focus difficulties, and crisis intervention. In my personal life, I enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, and enjoying good food and good friends.
If you’re a veteran, a man struggling in a difficult relationship, or an adult who is tired of feeling stuck, you’re not looking for someone to simply listen and nod. You want things to change.
I work especially well with people dealing with anxiety, anger, trauma, depression, relationship problems, low confidence, overthinking, addiction, or major life stress. My approach is practical and straightforward: we look at the thoughts, beliefs, habits, and circumstances keeping you stuck and start challenging them.
I also work with men who feel overwhelmed, unheard, criticized, or uncertain of themselves in important relationships. Maybe you feel like you’re walking on eggshells, questioning yourself, feeling guilty for setting boundaries, or wondering whether you’re the problem. Counseling can help you rebuild confidence, establish healthier boundaries, and make decisions based on your own values rather than fear, guilt, or pressure.
I’ve worked with thousands of clients and learned that people often have more strength than they realize. Sometimes you’ve believed lies about yourself for so long that they became part of who you see yourself to be.
I’m Christian-friendly, but I meet everyone where they are.
I listen closely, ask questions that make you think, challenge perspectives that may be keeping you stuck, and help you find solutions that work in real life. I don’t believe my job is to tell you how to live your life. I want our conversations to help you see your situation more clearly and decide what makes sense for you.
I’m also a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan. I’ll gladly work with Michigan fans, too…but I can't promise neutrality! :)

You deserve a therapist who sees all of you — not just the struggle you’re carrying. I’m here to be that safe space.

My passion is helping you move from simply surviving to creating a life that feels grounded, abundant, and aligned with who you really are.
I am a therapist with over 25 years of experience. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing grief, life transitions, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Are you struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, or marital and family issues? You don’t have to face these challenges alone. I offer a compassionate, Christ-centered space to process painful experiences, find healing, and discover hope in God’s truth. I have strong interests in trauma recovery, women’s mental health, and supporting pastors, ministry leaders, and their families.

My desire is to provide Christ-centered care that honors your story and helps you find find healing, freedom, and renewed hope in Christ.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m passionate about walking alongside you on your healing journey—supporting you as you work toward symptom relief, emotional balance, greater self-acceptance, and more fulfilling relationships. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been honored to work as a therapist for 13 years. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion, with the goal of helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
The one question I get most often by clients and peers is: Why did you go into the counseling profession? My response is always the same. First, I have always had a desire to help people in a time of need or distress. I have felt this way as far back as high school. Secondly, I went through a debilitating anxiety disorder in my mid-twenties. I know first-hand the helplessness and desperation mental and emotional pain causes. I never condone a therapist sharing with a client, they know how the client feels unless they themselves have experienced a similar type of pain. Lastly, I believe in the power of counseling and the benefits it can offer. Counseling is very different from medicine. Counseling requires the client to be actively involved in the process of healing and growth rather than taking medication and waiting for it to work. Counseling empowers a client to by allowing them to see their progress towards the life they desire on a daily, weekly, and even monthly basis.

As a social worker therapist grounded in mindfulness theory, my dream client embodies a spirit of openness and motivation for change. This individual recognizes the challenges that come with personal growth but approaches therapy with a willingness to explore and confront these difficulties. They appreciate the journey of self-discovery and are eager to gain insights that can lead to meaningful transformation in their life.
In our sessions, I envision a collaborative environment where they feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. They understand that progress may not always be linear, yet they remain committed to the process. This client values the therapeutic relationship and seeks guidance to cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and mindfulness in their daily life.
What I cherish most about this ideal client is their ability to reflect on their experiences and actively engage in their healing journey. They inspire me with their courage to face discomfort and their desire to learn and grow. Together, we would explore various mindfulness practices and therapeutic techniques, fostering a deep connection that empowers them to embrace change with compassion and patience.
Ultimately, my dream client is someone who is not only motivated to seek help but also appreciates the support and insight I can offer. In this partnership, we would work hand in hand to navigate the complexities of their experiences, celebrating each step toward a more fulfilled and mindful existence. This collaborative spirit of growth and understanding is what makes the therapeutic journey profoundly rewarding for both of us.

Hi! I'm Tiara Neal, a diverse and dedicated psychotherapist! I pride myself on meeting clients exactly where they are and embarking on their transformative journeys alongside them. I like to think of and explain therapy as not me “fixing” anyone, but two people meeting and sharing ideas to analyze the puzzle pieces and empower clients to complete the puzzle on their own with the new found knowledge they gain in session. Multiple insurances accepted outside of Grow as well, which is why I encourage clients to message me on PsychologyToday first before booking. I am always accepting referrals.

Hi, I’m Jessica Vargas LCSW, LISW and I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. Life can become overwhelming, whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, stress, major life changes, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I work collaboratively with each client to understand what is happening beneath the surface while developing realistic tools and strategies that can create meaningful change. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Your experiences, goals, and strengths are unique, and our work together should reflect that.
I work with teens, adults, and couples who may be struggling with emotional challenges, relationship concerns, communication, self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, stress, or other challenges that are making it difficult to feel like themselves. For couples, I provide a supportive space to improve communication, understand patterns within the relationship, and work toward a healthier connection.
As a therapist, I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself—even when things feel messy or difficult. My goal isn’t simply to help you get through a challenging moment, but to help you better understand yourself, build confidence in your ability to cope, and develop skills that continue to serve you beyond therapy.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. If you’re ready to make a change, I’m here to help you take that first step.
I have an eclectic approach and believe that you are your own expert who needs evidence-based tools. I will walk through deep waters with you, promising to provide a judgment-free zone. I have a background in family systems, child development and couples therapy. This background supports individual therapy as many people present to therapy with relational issues. I am so glad you are here!
Hi, I’m Meagan. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next steps — especially when stress, anxiety, or major life transitions start to affect confidence, relationships, or daily functioning.
I take a practical, supportive approach to therapy, helping you understand what’s getting in your way, identify your strengths, and develop skills you can actually use in real life. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and capable of managing challenges as you move toward the life you want.
I’m a licensed therapist and coach who helps high-achievers and leaders go from stressed and stuck to calm, confident, and fully alive. Using my unique blend of EMDR, CBT, nervous system work, and soulful mindset support, I help clients heal old patterns, regulate their emotions, and step into a life where they can enjoy more ease, more joy, and more loving relationships without sacrificing their big dreams or performance at work. Think of it as a reset for both your mind and your soul so you can lead, love, and live with clarity and confidence.
Hi, I’m Tenisha Rigby, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 18 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I primarily work with adults ages 18–40, helping them navigate life’s transitions and build on their personal strengths. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood — a space that’s free of judgment and filled with compassion. Together, we’ll work at your pace to explore what matters most to you and find practical ways to help you feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled in your day-to-day life.
I’m a licensed therapist who works with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, and grief. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when life shifts in ways you didn’t expect or when you’re trying to hold everything together for everyone else.
In our work together, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself, process what you’re going through, and start to make sense of it. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped with tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life
I’m glad you reached out for support. Taking that step can require courage and strength. Many of the adults I work with are doing their best to hold everything together but feel overwhelmed on the inside. You may be dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, health concerns, difficult past experiences, or a major change in your life. You may also be facing grief, relationship challenges, questions about who you are, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself.
I believe therapy should feel human, compassionate, and practical rather than clinical or cold. I offer a space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and explore what you are going through without judgment. Together, we can look at what is weighing on you, build on the strengths you already have, and develop practical tools that support you in daily life. If you are feeling stuck, tired, or ready for something to change, I’m here to help you take the next step.
Our first session is a chance for me to listen and learn more about you and what brought you to therapy. You will have space to talk openly about what has been difficult and what you would like to change. We can begin identifying what is weighing on you, the strengths you already have, and practical ways therapy can support you. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and comfortable moving at a pace that works for you.
I work with adults in Ohio, Arizona, and Nevada who may look like they are managing well on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, health concerns, life changes, relationship challenges, grief, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
Welcome! I'm Leigh.
I know many people are working to do their best while balancing burnout, anxiety, and the feeling that “the world is on fire.” I work with you to build sustainable changes, and a life that includes not only surviving, but finding moments of joy, confidence, and acceptance of who you are and how your brain works.
I work to make my clients feel supported and heard, and focus on your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. The goal is always to help you understand how your brain works best, whether that is learning how to navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, and/or lack of motivation, and develop concrete steps to take action towards a life with joy, confidence and being unapologetically yourself.
Hi :) I imagine you are here because things are not great. Perhaps, you would like to improve or change something, or maybe you just want to feel better or more comfortable in your skin. I know it can be scary, but I believe it’s also brave. It takes courage to admit that you would like life to be different. I believe together we can get you to a place where life isn't so hard. During my 19 year career, I have been fortunate to have met wonderful people and together we have grown.
I view the therapeutic process through a person-centered lens and as something we do together. I believe it is important to celebrate the small successes, and focus on progress, rather than perfection.
I believe healing is possible, even when the experiences we've been through feel difficult to move beyond. While we never choose to experience trauma, we can begin to find our own path forward with the right support. Therapy cannot erase the past, but it can offer a safe space to process, grow, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves we may have lost along the way. I believe every person has the capacity for change, growth, and healing, even when that might feel impossible. It is my privilege to walk alongside clients as they learn their own strengths, build self-understanding, and create a life they are proud to call their own.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree and Master of Education degree from Malone University in Canton, Ohio.

Hi there! I’m Donnah, and I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a licensed professional clinical counselor and the owner of Phoenix RISE KY LLC. I work with a diverse range of clients and have extensive experience supporting people through trauma, grief, major life transitions, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, and other challenging life experiences.
Much of my work centers on trauma and the ways past experiences can continue to affect emotions, relationships, self-perception, and everyday functioning. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can make sense of what you have experienced, develop practical tools for coping, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I believe therapy should reflect the person in front of me rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we can identify patterns, build on your strengths, develop healthier ways of responding to stress, and work toward greater stability, connection, and confidence.
I also have a special appreciation for adolescents and young adults navigating the transition into adulthood, including school or career pressures, family and relationship challenges, emotional regulation concerns, and emerging mental health needs.
Through Phoenix RISE, my goal is to help people reflect on their experiences, recognize their strengths, feel supported through difficult seasons, and become more empowered in their lives.
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.
Over the years, I've worked across diverse community settings, including Home-Based Services, hospitals, outpatient, PHP, residential, and virtual environments. My experience spans working with children, teens, adults, and older adults (geriatric population) facing challenges such as homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, COVID-19, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression, and more.
I understand that you may be going through a difficult time. Life brings many challenges that can cause one to feel anxiety, stress, worry, and doubt. Does this sound like you? I want you to know that I can empower you with the tools of success.
Deciding to seek support through counseling takes courage, and the process of finding the right therapist can be intimidating. Building a trusting relationship with a therapist can take time and I understand how difficult it can be to be vulnerable.
My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and Humanistic, focussed on building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, safety, empathy, and compassion. I utilize evidence-based methods such as CBT, CFT, mindfulness-based interventions, breath work, somatic psychotherapy, and EMDR.
Whether you are looking for a safe space to talk through current stressors, or dig deeper to process past trauma, I hope to provide a safe and nurturing space, collaborating with you on your journey of healing and personal growth.
With over nine years of clinical experience, I have developed a natural ability to connect deeply with individuals and meet people wherever they are on their life journey. I am licensed in Ohio as a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC).
Specializing in trauma recovery and substance use, I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we will build a personalized treatment plan designed around your values and the meaningful outcomes you want to achieve. I work with clients ranging from adolescents (ages 11+) through late adulthood.

Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of social work and mental health experience.

I greatly enjoy my work with clients and the reward in my work is seeing clients succeed and overcome life's challenges.

Hi, I’m Lisa Shaw, the therapist and owner behind Graceborne Counseling, LLC. I earned my master’s degree from Geneva College in Pennsylvania, with training in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage & Family Counseling.
After graduate school, I began working in the field of addiction and recovery, which became the foundation of my professional career and has remained an important part of my work for more than 20 years. Over time, my experience has expanded to include trauma, relationships, family dynamics, relational wounds, and other complex experiences that can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio, and a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee. I also hold advanced addiction credentials as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) and Master Addiction Counselor (MAC).
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and individualized. I believe counseling works best when people feel respected, understood, and able to bring their whole selves into the room. I bring clinical knowledge, thoughtful reflection, curiosity, and therapeutic tools while honoring each client’s lived experience, values, strengths, and goals.
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the State of Ohio who has over 20 years of experience treating a variety of mental health conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, children, families, and couples. I have a special heart for adults who have already been diagnosed with ADHD or suspect they may have it, as I myself was diagnosed with it as an adult. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities in session such as CBT, DBT, and person centered/eclectic approaches. Additionally, I am a Christian and use this belief system in the therapy session for those who desire it, while also respecting people who believe differently. I have worked extensively with people who have undergone trauma in their lives, as well as people who are grieving and questioning things spiritually. Essentially, we all have the same needs, and often the similar wounds. I will meet you where you are and walk with you on the path to healing.
I am a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I have completed my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, which allows me to integrate advanced clinical training, research-informed practice, and real-world therapeutic experience. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and person-centered counseling. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can build resilience, gain clarity, and make meaningful, lasting change.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that taking care of your mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself. Reaching out for help isn’t easy, so I want to start by acknowledging the strength it takes to take that first step. I’ve worked with clients from many walks of life, but my primary focus is helping adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges find clarity, peace, and balance again.
Hi, I’m Monica, a Licensed Therapist who believes therapy should be a space where you can exhale, feel understood, and be fully yourself without judgment. I offer a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach, meeting you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, past trauma, and major life transitions. Whether you’re starting a new job, moving, navigating changes in a relationship, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the surface, learn tools for managing anxiety and strengthening self-esteem, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and your relationships.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We’ll start wherever you are and work from there.
