My name is Ta'Erra but most people just call me Tae.

I have had the chance to work with those experiencing mood disorders, relational issues, and trauma-related disorders.

Welcome! My name is Diana and I am an Ohio State University graduate with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I am licensed in Ohio (LISW-S) and Florida (LCSW). My clinical background began in healthcare, where I provided social services, care coordination, and case management to patients experiencing acute and chronic medical illness. In 2020, I expanded my work to support adults with life event changes, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, family stressors, career pressures, motivation, and self-esteem. I am committed to building a trusting relationship through listening, honesty, and empathy. I look forward to supporting you and helping you take the first steps to feeling better.

As a dedicated therapist, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges and develop the tools necessary for lasting change. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, focusing on your unique strengths to help you navigate life’s transitions, improve your relationships, and enhance your overall well-being. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to support you in achieving your personal goals.

I began my journey as a therapist while I was Active Duty military and I saw firsthand how trauma was so prominent whether from childhood and/or combat related. With the different treatment options available, I feel that I have an opportunity to help in the healing journey for anyone seeking therapy. I have been licensed for about 6 years and have experience treating individuals who have experienced trauma through work, childhood, or adulthood. I offer daytime availability to individuals who may work evenings, professionals, caregivers, or students.

If you grew up feeling unsafe, unseen, or alone, those early experiences may still live quietly inside you. You may move through the world appearing capable and put together, while inside feeling anxious, numb, guarded, or disconnected. These responses are not something to fix—they are signs of how deeply you learned to survive. I work with adults who carry the lasting effects of childhood and family trauma, complex PTSD, and experiences of sexual or physical harm. Many of the people I work with learned early on how to be strong, how to adapt, and how to endure. While those ways of surviving once helped protect you, they can become heavy to carry over time. Our work together is not about pushing, reliving painful memories, or asking more of you than feels possible. It is about slowing down, creating safety, and honoring your nervous system’s need for gentleness. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself, perform, or hold it all together. My approach is trauma-informed and guided by care for the nervous system. Together, we listen with compassion to what your body and emotions are asking for. Over time, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, strengthening boundaries, easing anxiety or dissociation, and rebuilding trust in yourself and in others. You are not broken. Nothing about you needs to be fixed. Healing is available to you. You don’t have to do it alone.

Welcome, my name is Felice, (like ~Felice Navidad). I know that reaching out for counseling takes courage, and I want you to know you don’t have to walk through life’s challenges alone. My role as a therapist is to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story, explore your struggles, and discover practical tools for healing and growth. With over 20 years of experience in education, counseling, and supporting individuals from all walks of life, I specialize in helping people through grief, adoption journeys, and major life transitions. I also work with clients facing anxiety, stress, self-esteem challenges, caregiving responsibilities, and relationship concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I often integrate trauma-informed care, CBT techniques, and faith-based perspectives when desired, to help you find hope and resilience.

I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Youngstown State University and began my career working in foster care as a case manager, where I developed a strong foundation in advocacy, family systems, and trauma-informed care.

I believe healing occurs in a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment, where clients feel empowered, respected, and actively involved in their mental health journey.

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 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!
