Hi! My name is Diane Bales MS, LMHC, LPC. I am passionate about what I do. I love walking with clients through their journey of healing. I am known for really caring about my patients and I think that shows. I use an eclectic approach to treatment. I feel that everyone is different and not one approach works for everyone. I want my clients to feel that they have accomplished or overcome something during their time in therapy. Note I do charge for No show and Late Cancellations $70.00

Are you feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck? Maybe you’ve been carrying too much for too long—showing up for others while quietly putting your own needs aside. Perhaps you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, or struggling to understand the love language of the people closest to you. Do you feel conflicted, pulled in many different directions, as though something inside you is being stretched too thin? Maybe part of you grieves what might have been, while another part worries about missing out on what is right here, today, in this present moment. Perhaps you’re navigating difficult relationships, caregiving responsibilities, or a season of life that feels heavier than you expected. You don’t have to go through it all alone! I offer a gentle, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and simply be yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and reconnect with your strengths. With over 25 years of experience, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, impulse control difficulties, chronic stress, self-harming behaviors, and adoption-related concerns. Today, my focus is helping adults build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and experience meaningful growth. I earned my Ph.D. in Social Welfare from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory designation in Ohio. As a full-time lecturer at Case Western Reserve University, I remain closely connected to the latest research and evidence-based practices. I provide individual therapy, and I enjoy working with adults who feel ready to better understand themselves, shift old patterns, and move toward greater balance. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out—I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I tend to thrive in crisis. Ideal with the toughest cases of trauma, shootings, cults abductions, and domestic violence. I have been able to help so many veterans as well over the past 12+ years in my positions with US Service Animals, Simple, Practice, Grow Therapy and other telehealth platforms. I was an early adopter of telehealth and I have seen it. Make such a difference for so many people because of the comfort that is brought by being able to open up in an environment you know is safe, your own home/space. I take a solutions focused and a client centered approach. I am also insight oriented. I have a lot of insight when it comes to dealing with physical pain and disabilities as I have a visual disability since very young and suffered a TBI at age 24. I like to focus on what issues you are having and come up with coping mechanisms that will work for you. Dealing with the struggles I have had throughout my life has helped me work with people and develop creative and effective coping mechanisms for their specific issues. I have now lived and worked in several states with varying cultures and have benefited from all of these experiences. I have spent a lot of time in a hospital and work well with nurses and medical professionals as well. Please reach out if you think I can help and I will meet you where you are and see where we can go from here.

Hi! My name is Billy. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, stress, anger...or possibly all five? These issues are not uncommon and can be debilitating, especially when guilt or shame are added to the mix. But you can kick them all to the curb. All it takes is a willingness to change your perspectives. I've worked with thousands of clients (adults and children) who struggle with self-defeating beliefs that zap the joy out of life. And I've found that Hope and Purpose, along with healthy doses of Motivation and Creativity, crush inner demons. How do you find Hope and Purpose? It's not as complicated as you might think. We are made to help each other. We are made to communicate. We are made to have a positive impact. Sometimes, though, life attacks from all directions and leaves us feeling defeated. That's when we need help. I firmly believe in Jesus Christ, the Biblical Savior not the mascot some politicians have reduced Him to. But I'm no preacher and will not judge you if your beliefs differ from mine. The Jesus I believe in loves all people, not just a select few. I'm also a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan. I'll accept Michigan fans but cannot promise the same nonjudgmental stance I noted above. :) I'm here to listen. I'm here to learn about your struggles and find ways to help you view them differently. And, who knows? I may even share some of my Blackstone Griddle secrets along the way. God Bless!

I provide trauma-informed care to women and men. I want to help clarify whatever it is you want to heal. What is it that you aren't getting from your environment that leads you to overwork, over think, isolate or continue habits you already know don't serve you? To communicate better in your relationships I will use what I’ve learned to help guide you in how to disagree without hurting, highlight what is already working, and uncover the struggles you face to get to the core reasons why we get stuck. I help individuals with ADHD, OCD, and other anxiety disorders. The label doesn't matter as much as you do.

I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with experience in working with adults and children from in-patient as well as out-patient settings. I have worked with teenagers and young children for over 12 years. I specialize in working with children with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have a heart for working with kids and teens with traumatic experiences. My passion began while I was still in high school and wanted to be a teacher. I worked in various daycare facilities as well as having my own in-home daycare and decided I wanted to help kids (and adults) in a more in-depth manner. That is when I began my journey into social work and found my true calling in life. I have experience working with children and adolescents who have been through, or are currently in, the child welfare system as well as working with older teens with substance abuse/misuse issues.

I specialize in building a strong and healthy rapport through focusing on client strengths and interests to assist in their personal growth. I help strengthen the therapeutic relationship by providing unconditional positive regard and taking a nonjudgmental stance for and towards my clients with empathy and connection to assist in growth. Life can be difficult most days, but some days and seasons life can be overwhelming. When life gets overwhelming sometimes we need to reach out to an outside source for help and guidance.

My focus is on a variety of life issues that impede the unique potential of the individual. These include substance abuse and dependency, Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, depression, and trauma as well as major life events that happen to us all. I works with people from all walks of life including children, couples, and adults. Person centered counseling is not a platform on which one seeks advice or fears being judged, as if “under the microscope”. Rather it is a collaborative conversation based on unconditional positive regard, in which counselor and client journey together towards the client’s realization of meaning and goals.

I have an MS in Life Span Development and an Med in Counselor Education, both from Purdue University and am now a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio. I enjoy gardening, traveling and learning new things. I am an optimist.

Are you tired of being judged for not doing things the “normal” way? Has the world attempted to dim your light? Have you listened to lies of others and yourself that has led you down a path of shame and guilt? If you are looking for a space that is fun, nonjudgmental, the ability to be yourself then come see me as I take pride in being apart of others’ journey. I wont lie and say that change is easy, change is messy, but I am willing to be messy with you.

I am an autistic therapist, which is important to mention as my communication style may differ from what you are accustomed to. I am very direct and honest, and my guidance is grounded in research and the lived experiences of other clients. My therapeutic approach is centered on helping you define your current purpose. I employ a client-centered approach, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existentialism to ensure you feel heard, seen, and valued. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I am pleased that you are here, and I look forward to working with you. I began my education in research psychology before entering counseling. Now, I am a Community Counselor. I have spent my time as a therapist side by side with people in their homes, in their schools, at their workplace, and out in the community. I have worked with people on the Autism Spectrum, with ADHD, depression, mood disorders, and end of life issues. My approach to helping has always been to help you define your current purpose. I utilize a client-centered approach, cognitive behavioralism, and existentialism. I want you to feel heard, seen, and feel that you are important. We will work together to help you on a journey to discover yourself. I am glad you are here and I look forward to working with you.

Hi. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio. I have worked extensively with adolescents and young adults who have had issues with trauma and loss in childhood. I also have much experience in working with depression, anxiety and loss. I have a special interest in working with anyone touched by adoption as I am an adoptee myself. It is very gratifying to see people of all ages overcome obstacles and to become the best version of themselves. I feel that one of my strengths is being able to put people at ease and being able to support them through the therapeutic process. Please understand that I do not do medication management.

Welcome — You Deserve to Feel Safe and Heard If you’re here, you might be feeling scared to reach out. Maybe you’re worried about being judged, or afraid you’ll end up with a therapist who only asks, “And how does that make you feel?” without truly helping. You may be: Feeling overwhelmed or like it’s hard to breathe. Carrying tightness in your chest from constant worry. Struggling with hopelessness and the sense that life is always against you. Hearing others dismiss your pain, telling you that you’re “overreacting.” Facing challenges in your relationship—whether it’s conflict, thoughts of divorce, or infidelity. Working through identity concerns (gender, body image, or self-worth). Feeling pressure to be perfect, or feeling angry, stuck, and stressed without healthy coping tools. If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know: you are not alone, and help is possible. Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to heal.

Hi: My name is Barbara Doll. I have over 25 years of experience in therapy and mediation. I love to meet new clients and strive to make my sessions comfortable and, of course, without judgement. I want my sessions to be a safe, comfortable, peaceful place for clients to be able to have a safe place for people to express feelings and perhaps even identify feelings. I have a vast experience in divorce, separation and parenting issues, Domestic Abuse Issues, Depression and Anxiety Grief issues. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing as therapy interventions. If you are unsure about those interventions I will be happy to take time to explain them to you. Making an appointment for therapy takes a lot of courage and I congratulate you for taking this big step. I want my clients to experience a safe, non-judgemental, peaceful place where clients can talk about their history, express their feelings and talk about their dreams and hopes for the future and discover what may be standing in the way to achieve those hopes and dreams.

Sometimes life is hard and sometimes life hurts, but there is always hope. Pain, loss, and suffering are real. I am willing to meet you where you are, to take the time to come along side you, and I am willing to help. Every client is different, and there is no single way to help everyone. That is why I take the time to listen to your story. I utilize clinically proven solution-focused therapies and cognitive behavioral therapies to help clients heal.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.
