I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from Florida State University in 2021, and, prior to my work in private practice, I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including foster care, life coaching, school counseling, and as a medical social worker for a children's hospital. I have always been a passionate advocate of therapy and am so grateful for the opportunity to be apart of someone's healing journey. When I'm not working, I love being outside, exercising, traveling, and being a mom.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience helping people feel more grounded, capable, and connected to themselves again.

My approach is honest, supportive, and focused on helping you build a life that feels manageable, meaningful, and aligned with who you want to be.

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!

I’m Dawn Adler, LISW-S, MPPM. I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space where every person—regardless of background—is valued, supported, and seen for their innate goodness. My work is grounded in the belief that each individual has a unique purpose, a spark of potential, and the ability to grow, heal, and elevate their life. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. In our sessions, I offer a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can share openly and reconnect with the strengths already within you. I especially enjoy working with individuals who value genuine connection and are interested in personal growth, emotional resilience, and cultivating a meaningful life. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, strengthen what’s already good inside you, and work toward becoming the most aligned, grounded, and empowered version of yourself—at a pace that feels right for you.

Thank you for stopping on my profile. I’m a simple person. As a therapist, I treasure every interaction. Most of my experience as a licensed counselor and working in mental and behavioral health has been working with children and adolescents - particularly those struggling to regulate emotions and manage behaviors. I believe the difference between working with young people versus people of any age is just stage of life. People develop over time but maturity -in itself- does not resolve impact from the ‘stuff’ they experience and carry throughout their lifetime. With that said, I don’t feel inclined to focus only on young people because at one point we were all young. In therapy, I’m a person who believes in the power of relationships. I tend to lean more heavily into the power of the connection than the style of treatment used. I’d be honored to meet you and get to know you but the bigger satisfaction in me would be knowing you found your fit. I wish you the best in your search.

Hi, I’m Marie — a therapist who believes that change is always possible, no matter where you are in life. My goal is to help you feel better emotionally, think more clearly, and move toward a future that feels fulfilling and peaceful. In our sessions, we’ll work together to understand what’s been holding you back and find practical ways to move forward. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice how your thoughts affect your emotions and actions—and teach you tools to shift negative thinking. I also use a solution-focused approach, which means we’ll focus on your strengths, celebrate what’s working, and create small, realistic steps that bring real progress. I often work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or major life changes—like adjusting after a loss, a new diagnosis, or changes that come with getting older. My approach is supportive and empowering. I want you to feel heard, encouraged, and equipped with the tools to handle life’s challenges with more confidence and hope.

For over twenty years, I’ve devoted my career to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. With a Master’s degree in Social Work from Ohio University, as well as both a Master’s and Bachelor’s in Psychology, I bring an understanding of human behavior with a compassionate approach to every session. Whether you’re facing stress, life transitions, or a desire for personal growth, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. If you’re ready to take the next step toward emotional well-being, I’m here to walk with you. Let’s begin your path forward together.

You are taking steps to answer questions and find solutions to real problems.

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 16 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.

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted by overthinking, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe your mind feels anxious, scattered, or weighed down by overthinking. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. I help adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or major life transitions find clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of calm. 🌱 I bring both compassion and structure to therapy. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and practical—someone who listens deeply, helps them feel understood, and offers clear guidance for moving forward. 🌱 As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional (CMIP), I specialize in evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy. These methods give us a flexible toolkit we can tailor to your needs—whether you want to quiet racing thoughts, improve focus and organization, or navigate a life change with more confidence. 🌱 I believe therapy works best when it feels both supportive and practical: a place where you feel truly heard, while also discovering new perspectives and strategies that create lasting change. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your strengths, and walk with you as you build the life you want.

I have been able to gain a great deal of experience over my 13 years with a very diverse background through promotion and advancement, in the mental health field, and those experiences help me to navigate my therapeutic approach to assist with being able to better serve clients while we are working together.

My name is Amber Bertovich. I have been a practicing licensed clinical social worker for nearly 20 years in the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. I am a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have a diverse background from children through geriatrics, working with individuals, families, and caregivers as well as 15 years of experience working with the veteran and military population. I have worked in residential, community, and hospital settings. I utilize a wide array of approaches to custom fit a plan to care for those seeking help with grief and loss, stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

I have been in practice for over 24 years. I work with clients from very diversified backgrounds, helping clients to identify their issues, helping them to determine what is leading to these issues, and determining the best steps to address such issues. We will take a look at how your past is potentially affecting your current day and further attempt to work through any issues from your past that are stopping you from getting to where you want to be in life. I provide a nurturing, supportive and motivating environment.

Hi, I'm Melissa, and I’m deeply passionate about helping those who serve and those who are facing unique challenges. I understand the toll that trauma, high-stress environments, and coping with loss can take, especially for first responders, veterans, and those struggling with addiction. If you’re feeling isolated, dealing with the weight of unresolved trauma, or navigating the pull of gambling or substance use, I want you to know you’re not alone. My goal is to offer you a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard and understood, no matter where you are on your journey. In our work together, I use proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and strengths-based approaches, tailoring them to meet your unique needs. My approach is person-centered, focused on helping you understand your experiences and empowering you to build healthier coping mechanisms and resilience. Throughout sessions, you can expect to gain new insights, manage stress, and develop skills to overcome personal obstacles. My goal is to help you rediscover balance, purpose, and a renewed sense of hope. Whether you're seeking a partner in healing or a fresh start, I'm here to support you in reaching your goals.
