DBT Therapists in Ohio

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,

I’m Garrick Kreitzer, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky and Ohio with 15+ years of experience helping adult men work through trauma, substance misuse, relationships, and all the challenges that come with life. My therapeutic strategy uses an eclectic, individualized approach that focuses on results and overall mental wellness, and employs concepts and techniques pulled from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Parts Work, and Strengths-Based modalities. However, I tend believe strongly in the "Whatever Works Best For You" frame of clinical reference. I'm excited to work with you!

Hi I am Mary McKenzie-Nason (LPCC, M.ED), I am a Professional Clinical Counselor who graduated with my Master’s Degree in Community Agency Counseling from Cleveland State University. I have been practicing since 2010 and have experience working with individuals, couples and families. Research shows, and I agree, therapy is most effective when the client has a strong relationship with their therapist that is built on trust and mutual respect. I take the time to develop a space where clients feel they can be authentically themselves. I view my clients as the driver and I am the GPS-there to guide them to their destination.

Hello! I’m Joshua Vance, LPCC, owner of Live 4 You Counseling LLC. I’m a down-to-earth, compassionate counselor who believes therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or overly clinical. While I take my clients and their concerns seriously, I also believe healing often happens through authentic connection, practical conversations, and even a little humor when appropriate. My style is warm, encouraging, and collaborative, and I strive to create a space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I enjoy helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism, life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth while developing practical tools for lasting change. For those who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling from a Christian perspective.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor-Supervisor (LPCC-S) and Registered Art Therapist with over 19 years of experience helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and nervous system dysregulation.

I believe healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood. Together, we'll work to identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I integrate approaches such as CBT, DBT, somatic and trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and expressive therapies to tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're seeking support for everyday stress, complex trauma, or a deeper path toward personal growth, I strive to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where healing can unfold at your own pace.

Therapy is a space to be heard, understood, and supported. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where we can work together to better understand what you’re experiencing, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to navigate meaningful change and create the life you want. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in your strengths. I have been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio since 2017.

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.

With over 30 years of experience in the mental health and addiction fields, I provide a seasoned, practical perspective for adults navigating complex trauma, sudden loss, and emotional dysregulation. My approachable style is designed to lower anxiety and remove the mystery from therapy. Moving beyond mere symptom management toward true integration, I utilize evidence-based tools like EMDR, IFS (Parts Work), and DBT to help you process difficult life transitions and build lasting resilience. Specialized First Responder & Public Safety Care: As an independently licensed LPCC with specialized training in First Responder Peer Support, I understand the unique organizational culture, rotating shift demands, and intense privacy concerns of law enforcement, fire, EMS, and emergency personnel. Rather than utilizing open-ended talk therapy, I offer a structured, neurobiologically grounded approach to treating cumulative occupational trauma, hyper-vigilance, and burnout. 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.

I am a clinically licensed social worker. I went back to school at 54 after a 30 plus year career in special education and early intervention. My passion and gifts center on helping people overcome overwhelming life challenges and life transitions. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and CAMS to assist you in overcoming trauma, changing negative thought patterns, and regulating intense emotions and self-harm behaviors. My focus is to make you feel welcome in an accepting environment that allows you to be transparent and vulnerable in a way that brings healing for you.

As a therapist, I provide a compassionate and supportive space for women, college students, and healthcare professionals who are struggling with OCD, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, perfectionism, and stress-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to manage intrusive thoughts, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure to constantly meet expectations while trying to care for yourself and others. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to each client’s unique experiences and goals. I strive to help clients build confidence, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more empowered in their daily lives. Through therapy, clients can learn to manage anxiety more effectively, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and create meaningful, lasting change that supports both emotional well-being and personal growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, insight, and practical support. At Sunrise Counseling and Wellness, LLC, I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or a major life transition, I tailor therapy to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and EMDR-informed techniques as I continue advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

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.

If I could sit beside my younger self and tell her one thing, I would say, “You are not broken. You are responding to what you’ve been through. Be gentle with yourself. One day, the healing you are fighting for will become someone else’s hope.” Hi, I’m Cherita Griffin, MS-LPCC-S (Ohio), LPC (Georgia), NCC, CYT, SEL-F, C-DBT, CMIP, ADHD-CCSP. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Endorsement, and for more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult seasons. My work is deeply personal to me because I understand that healing is more than a clinical process, it’s human. It’s learning to feel safe again. It’s finding your voice. It’s setting boundaries without guilt, giving yourself permission to rest, and learning that you don’t have to keep surviving when you are ready to begin living. I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying everything on their own. Together, we gently uncover what hurts, make sense of what you’ve experienced, and begin rebuilding from a place of compassion rather than shame. I integrate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and holistic, somatic-informed practices to support the whole person, mind, body, and spirit. **Here, you don’t have to have it all together. You don’t have to carry everything alone. You can finally exhale.** Healing isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about finding your way back to yourself—the parts of you that life may have taught you to silence, shrink, or leave behind. You are worthy of healing. You are worthy of peace. And you don’t have to walk toward it alone.

I became a counselor because I believe the pieces of our individual stories often become so tangled that it takes someone else to help us sort out and realign our lives. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Supervision designation (LPCC-S). I have been in private practice for over a decade, primarily helping clients who are struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. I also work with individuals struggling with other issues including grief, trauma, and anxiety.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. With over 25 years of experience, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based approaches. I am passionate about empowering clients to rewrite their inner narratives. I blend evidence-based techniques with genuine empathy. Whether working in private practice, community settings, or telehealth platforms, I remain committed to fostering mental wellness and emotional strength. I believe healing begins when people are given a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming platform to receive guidance, support, and the tools needed to draw upon their own personal strengths to overcome the barriers that stand between them and their quality of life.

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.

My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert of your own story, and together, we can harness your strengths to overcome the challenges you face. I am here to support and empower you every step of the way. I hold a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, both from Kent State University.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to the field, receiving the Clinical Service Award in 2004 and multiple inductions into various Sports Halls of Fame. These accolades reflect my commitment to excellence and my passion for helping others.

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.

If you’ve ever had the quiet thought, “Something just isn’t right,” you’re not alone—and it’s worth paying attention to. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can begin to explore those feelings without judgment. My work centers individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood-related challenges, relationship concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma. I often work with people who have been “the strong one” for others—deep feelers, caregivers, and those who find themselves stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, codependency, or difficulty trusting themselves. Many of my clients are unpacking experiences related to abandonment, rejection, identity concerns, or emotional overwhelm. I also support neurodivergent individuals who are seeking greater understanding of themselves and more effective ways to regulate their emotions and experiences. My approach is warm, intentional, and grounded in the belief that healing does not have to feel cold or clinical. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we move at your pace, creating space for reflection, emotional processing, and practical growth. Together, we will explore your experiences, challenge unhelpful patterns, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect you with a version of yourself that feels authentic and steady. Whether you are new to therapy or returning to deepen your work, I meet you where you are—with care, curiosity, and respect for your journey.

My practice is a calm, judgment-free space where you can say what’s really on your mind, even if you’re not sure how to put it into words yet. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. We’ll go at your pace and focus on what matters most to you.

I believe healing begins with intention, presence, and a good dose of courage. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me hiking through the woods with my two rescue dogs or throwing elbows in a Muay Thai gym. Nature, movement, and mindfulness are my anchors, and I bring that same grounded energy into a therapy session. Inspired by Viktor Frankl, “A man with a why can endure any how,” I aim to help individuals reconnect with their “why” in a world that often pulls us in every direction but inward. Life is messy, fast, and full of distractions. It’s easy to lose sight of who we are and what we need. As your therapist, I can do nothing to take away your pain; however, I vow to sit with you to endure it. I promise to do my best to assist you forthrightly, uncovering and fostering lasting resilience. I’ll offer a safe, compassionate space where we can work collaboratively to explore your story, uncover your strengths, and chart a course forward. The hardest part is getting started, so why not give it a shot? Come sit down, talk with me, and see if we can't get somewhere better than where we started.
