I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 30 years of experience supporting adults in overcoming mental health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, helping clients build practical skills to manage emotions, improve thinking patterns, and create lasting change.

Hi, I'm Drew. Over the past 30 years, I've had the privilege of working as a clinician in a wide range of settings, including inpatient mental health, inpatient substance abuse treatment, outpatient settings, adolescent treatment, adult care, older adult care, and even within the criminal justice system. Each of these experiences has shaped my approach to therapy, allowing me to connect with clients from all walks of life and understand their unique challenges and strengths. Personally, I'm a proud Navy veteran and an Ohio State University alumnus (Go Bucks!). I've been married for over 30 years and am a father of one. These personal experiences have deeply influenced my perspective and commitment to helping others navigate their own life journeys. If you're struggling with issues related to addiction, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, depression, developmental disabilities, grief/bereavement, life transitions, medical issues/physical health, phobias, PTSD, intimate/romantic relationships, learning disorders, spirituality, stress, trauma, or traumatic brain injury, I'm here to help. I offer Video Telehealth for virtual sessions. My goal is to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we can work towards finding solutions and strategies that empower you to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life. If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to support you on your journey.

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.

My background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship and family changes, grief and loss, and various life transitions. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I value taking the time to get to know each person, understand their unique experiences, and work together to find meaningful ways to move forward.

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.

Hi! I’m Sasha, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment.

I aim to empower you to feel stronger, more confident, and equipped to handle whatever comes your way.

Hi, I’m Terri! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11+ years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy should be a comfortable, supportive space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know you’re not being judged. My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients build confidence, develop healthier perspectives, recognize their strengths, and make meaningful changes.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and I have been practicing social work for the past 8 years. I am also a mother, wife, and a multitasker. I got into social work with the desire to help others. Growing up, I was always the one person people could turn to when they need someone to talk to and have someone listen. Life can be crazy, hectic, and take turns that we did not necessarily plan for ourselves. I am here to help you navigate those unexpected turns. Having someone you can trust and talk to can be beneficial to get you through those life changing moments. My goal is to be that person for you. Together, we will work on building our therapeutic relationship and making therapy a safe place.

Are you wanting to increase happiness and overall satisfaction with your life? Would you like to work towards gaining control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions? Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-worth, addiction, trauma, or just simply feeling overwhelmed with life, these are goals that you can reach. Through counseling I want to help you take back the control and start living your best life. I take a client centered approach, helping you to feel motivated and capable of making changes. In our sessions we would work to increase your awareness and understanding of the challenges you are facing while developing concrete ways to address them. Asking for help can be a very difficult step, but you are not alone. We all need support at times, and I would be honored to provide that for you. I am currently accepting adult patients for telehealth counseling services.

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 focus my practice on supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent humans experiencing trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and minority stress to develop greater creativity, joy, and fulfillment in their unique life.

I believe the point of life is to learn and grow through the challenges while becoming more fully yourself.

My name is Jennifer Bailey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Drama Therapist. I help clients identify and pursue the goals that lead to a life filled with meaning, pride, and contentment. Now, you may be wondering: “What exactly is a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT)?” Simply put, it means I integrate elements of theater and creative expression into the therapeutic process. With me, you have options. You might choose a traditional talk-therapy session to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. Or, if words don’t feel like enough, you might try something more experiential—writing, movement, role-play, or even reimagining and practicing conversations that keep replaying in your mind. Talk therapy is a powerful tool for growth, but sometimes it takes more than words to truly process what’s happening inside. That’s where creativity can open new doors. Whether through conversation, movement, sound, or artistic expression, I provide a space where you can choose what feels most healing and helpful. I would be honored to support you—whether that’s working toward personal goals, processing difficult emotions, or making positive and lasting changes in your life.

I'm Carmela Byus, LPCC-S, LICDC, a licensed mental health and substance use clinician who has been helping individuals navigate life's challenges since 2012. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. Every person has a unique story, and healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. My approach is compassionate, person-centered, holistic, and trauma-informed. I recognize that our experiences, relationships, family dynamics, and attachment patterns can shape how we see ourselves, manage emotions, and connect with others. I work with individuals navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance use concerns, low self-worth, relational difficulties, and life transitions.

I believe our past experiences may shape us, but they do not have to define our future. Through understanding, self-compassion, and meaningful connection, healing and personal growth are possible.

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.

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.

I'm passionate about working with people who are ready to understand their patterns, do the hard work of growth, and move toward healing. We’re shaped by both our wounding and our wiring. Because of that, I use a trauma-informed AND attachment-based approach to help you understand where your patterns come from and create meaningful change through EMDR, inner child work, IFS, and memory reconsolidation, integrating your spirituality if you would like. With couples, I draw from Gottman-informed methods to rebuild connection and intimacy.

Are you so used to bottling up your emotions that you can hardly remember a time when you didn’t just keep everything inside?

It takes a lot of courage to reach out to someone, so I applaud you on taking that first huge step.

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.

Hi, I’m Taylor! Do you struggle with balancing the responsibilities in your life? Do you have trouble completing daily tasks and managing your relationships? Are you feeling overwhelmed day to day? Life can be difficult to manage. I love helping anyone who is trying to balance parenthood and postpartum life, but enjoy working with anyone experiencing life transitions. I mix cognitive strategies with solution-focused techniques to promote healthy coping skills, challenge negative thoughts, and create space for change to make life just a little more manageable. Whether you are facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges or problems with executive functioning (things like focus, task initiation, prioritization, and motivation), I can help guide you to finding ways to tackle your challenges. I would love to team up and help you achieve your goals in therapy!

I earned my doctorate and post-graduate master's degrees in psychology and my master's degree in counseling from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Professionally, I retired from the United States Air Force as a senior non-commissioned officer, and since retiring, have worked in several different behavioral health settings. In addition to my private practice, I am a graduate-level adjunct professor of counseling psychology.

My name is Crystal Cooper and I am a Child, Youth and Family Therapist. I am licensed as a LMSW in the state of Texas and a LISW-S and CDCA in the state of Ohio. I obtained my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio and I then went on to obtained my Masters of Social Work at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio. I specialize in working with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder,  Oppositional Deviant Disorder, school concerns, aggressive behavioral issues, and emotional regulation. By providing psychoeducation, skills and psychotherapy to patients struggling with mental illness, emotional disturbance and behavior issues I am able to help empower them to become the best version of themselves. I am experienced in providing individual, group, family therapy, crisis intervention, psychoeducation and collaborative care in the home, community, and the education environment. I utilize TF-CBT, motivational interviewing, person-centered, solution-focused, and mindfulness treatment modalities to build a safe and therapeutic relationship, incorporating parents along the way to produce the best possible outcomes to maintain thought, emotional and behavioral changes. Time has no measure, and I value the opportunity and responsibility of making an impact in the lives of others.

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. I also have a strong interest in working with athletes around pressure, confidence, identity, setbacks, and the mental side of performance. Together, we work toward creating greater self-awareness, developing healthier beliefs and coping strategies, and building the confidence to make meaningful and lasting change,
