Therapists licensed in Ohio

I am a licensed therapist with over 12 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care across a wide range of settings. I earned my Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology from Antioch College. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. My work has included supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and complex psychosocial stressors. I bring a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy, tailoring care to each individual while honoring resilience, insight, and personal goals.

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.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with experience supporting individuals and families across all ages and abilities.

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 am an LPCC-S and LCDC III specializing in working with adults who are navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, addiction, depression, various life stressors, relationship challenges, etc. I have been passionate about mental health and community behavioral health since 2014, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have built my career around supporting individuals through some of the most difficult and transformative periods of their lives. Throughout my experience, I have had the opportunity to work with people from a variety of backgrounds and with many different life experiences. I believe that every person’s story is unique, and I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable being open and honest about what they are experiencing. I approach therapy with compassion, respect, and genuine curiosity about each person I work with. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and feel empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

I am a licensed psychologist in Ohio and Virginia and a graduate of the University of Toledo. I have been serving children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families for over 35 years in a variety of settings. I maintain a part-time outpatient therapy practice while helping to lead a mental health agency in Virginia (where I live). Originally from Toledo, Ohio, I hope to serve clients who are in Toledo and/or the surrounding area. While my practice will be primarily via Telehealth, serving clients from the Toledo area will allow me to occasionally conduct in-person sessions. I love to help clients have a more compassionate understanding of themselves and others, heal through difficult circumstances, improve relationships, and achieve desired changes in their lives.

Hello! I'm Brenna, a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with nine years of experience helping adults through life's harder chapters. I have a deep passion for maternal mental health. As a mother of two young children, I understand the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood, and I love helping mothers find their footing and prioritize their own well-being. I also work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, substance use, and major life transitions. My practice is a safe, affirming space for people of all backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Hi, I’m Shannon, and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the start. I work with individuals who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s next in their lives. Many individuals come to me for support with anxiety, depression, and life transitions, whether that’s navigating changes in relationships, career paths, identity, or overall direction. I also support children with challenges related to school, self-esteem, ADHD, and anxiety, helping them build confidence, coping skills, and emotional awareness in a supportive and age-appropriate way. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical. I often use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be holding you back and develop tools you can use in your everyday life to manage stress, build confidence, and move forward with intention. I believe therapy should not only help you feel better, but also give you skills that last beyond our sessions. Whether you’re working through a difficult period or simply looking for more direction and clarity, I’m here to support you in a way that feels approachable, grounded, and tailored to your needs. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to help.

I’m committed to helping you better understand your emotions, recognize your strengths, strengthen your voice, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and intention. What inspires me most is helping individuals recognize that meaningful change can happen step by step, thought by thought, and choice by choice. I want therapy to be more than a place to talk. I want you to leave with tools you can carry throughout life as you continue to create and recreate what happiness, peace, and being able to say “I am okay” mean to you.

Hello! I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist committed to helping individuals, couples, families, ministry leaders, and professionals navigate life's challenges with confidence, hope, and resilience. Since opening my practice in 2013, I have been passionate about creating a supportive environment where clients feel safe to heal, grow, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with Christian principles to provide holistic, personalized care that addresses emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. I believe every person has the capacity for growth and healing, regardless of their circumstances, and I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and build lasting resilience. I have experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, substance use concerns, and relationship challenges. I also work with couples and families who are experiencing conflict, communication difficulties, or significant life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and professional space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. In our work together, I focus on helping clients restore emotional wellness, strengthen relationships, gain deeper insight, and develop practical tools they can use in everyday life. Whether someone is facing a difficult season, healing from past experiences, struggling in a relationship, or seeking faith-integrated counseling, I tailor treatment to meet their unique needs and goals.

My name is Morgan and I am an independently licensed social worker. I work full time as a therapist as well as help people with Crisis Services. My main focus is adults with a trauma history but I have worked with all different types of mental health symptoms such as bipolar disorders, OCD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and severe mental health as well. I have worked with ages from 8-91. My personality is very calm and relaxed. I like to make most of my therapy sessions into conversations instead of constant questioning. I give my Clients the space to talk freely about any problems they are facing and work with them on an action plan.

I am an open, genuine, and compassionate therapist who believes in being honest and direct while meeting each client with empathy and understanding. I am a “straight shooter” who will challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and strive toward becoming the best version of yourself. At the same time, I recognize that everyone’s journey is unique, and I believe therapy should be tailored to meet you where you are. I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions and approaches based on your individual needs, personality, goals, and life experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can be authentic, gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and have worked with offenders, anger management clients, couples, teens and adults struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Through a strengths based approach, my clients learn more about themselves thus improving self-confidence, communication, mood and overall outlook on life. I love serving my teen and couples clients via the Gallup strengths test. This test helps individuals understand where their energy is highest and what they value most. It's not about "strengths", but values. I believe one of the best things we can do for ourselves is take the time to truly understand ourselves as this helps us learn to communicate effectively, be productive, overcome procrastination and more. This is one tool of many I enjoy using to help my clients.

With over 21 years of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges and find healing. As an LPCC licensed in both Ohio and Kentucky, I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and self-esteem issues. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Cincinnati, and my approach integrates a deep understanding of human emotion with a genuine desire to create meaningful change. My therapeutic style is warm, approachable, and often includes humor to help create an open and supportive space for growth. I use trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices to help clients process past experiences, build resilience, and reclaim their sense of safety and control. Validation, empathy, and humor are key tools I use to make healing feel not only possible but hopeful. Together, we work to foster lasting change, create healthier coping strategies, and develop a stronger, more empowered sense of self. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, transformation is always within reach. I am here to walk with you, every step of the way, toward a future filled with healing, strength, and peace.

I'm Ashley Harper, MSW, LISW-S, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with supervisory designation and the proud owner of Serenity Pathways Behavioral Health Services, LLC. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, embrace their authentic selves, and achieve meaningful emotional and personal growth. My practice is rooted in compassion, inclusivity, authenticity, and the belief that everyone deserves a safe, affirming, and judgment-free environment. I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, personality disorders, emotional dysregulation, grief, relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and challenges related to sexual health and wellness. A significant focus of my work involves intimacy, sexuality, and relationship dynamics. I provide sex-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming, kink-aware, and consensual non-monogamy-affirming care. Whether you are exploring sexual identity, navigating desire discrepancies, addressing sexual shame, rebuilding intimacy, healing from sexual trauma, or working through challenges associated with polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, or BDSM dynamics, my goal is to provide a supportive space where difficult or sensitive conversations can occur openly and without fear of judgment. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed interventions. Treatment is individualized because no two people, relationships, or experiences are identical. My therapeutic style combines genuine empathy, honesty, humor, direct communication, and practical tools. I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative partnership where you are supported, appropriately challenged, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Above all, I want clients to know they do not need to hide parts of themselves to be accepted. Whether you are seeking emotional stability, deeper intimacy, healthier boundaries, greater self-awareness, or stronger relationships, you deserve care that recognizes and respects the whole person.

My approach is down to earth. I meet you where you are. I listen for what you do not say. I strike a balance between accepting you just as you are but gently motivating you to implement sustainable change that you can feel proud of. I am comfortable in spaces that feel embarrassing. I bring life experience into the therapy session in the way in which I show up for you.

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 am committed to helping individuals feel seen, heard, and understood while supporting them in developing practical tools for emotional and personal growth.

Hello, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I received my Master’s degree from the University of Cincinnati and have over 20 years of experience in social work.

I take a holistic approach to therapy while utilizing evidence-based modalities and integrating the mind, body, and spirit into your healing journey.

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. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, adapting these approaches to each client's individual experiences, strengths, needs, and goals.

You do not have to face your struggles without hope. If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, shame, or relationship challenges, I believe healing can begin when you have a safe place to be honest and reconnect with your faith.

I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families in addiction treatment, private practice, community agencies, and correctional settings, giving me experience supporting people through some of life’s most difficult seasons.

For clients who wish to integrate faith into their counseling journey, I also offer Christian based counseling. In addition to my therapy work, I bring several years of experience as a medical social worker, serving in hospitals, hospices and long-term care settings. This background gives me a deeper understanding of the emotional, relational and practical challenges that often come with illness, caregiving, grief and significant life transitions. I am licensed to practice in IL, NC and OH.

Hi :) I imagine you are here because things are not great. Perhaps, you would like to improve or change something, or maybe you just want to feel better or more comfortable in your skin.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Your experiences, goals, and strengths are unique, and our work together should reflect that. I work with teens, adults, and couples who may be struggling with emotional challenges, relationship concerns, communication, self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, stress, or other challenges that are making it difficult to feel like themselves. For couples, I provide a supportive space to improve communication, understand patterns within the relationship, and work toward a healthier connection. As a therapist, I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself—even when things feel messy or difficult. My goal isn’t simply to help you get through a challenging moment, but to help you better understand yourself, build confidence in your ability to cope, and develop skills that continue to serve you beyond therapy. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. If you’re ready to make a change, I’m here to help you take that first step.

If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or trapped in unhealthy habits, you're not alone. Most people spend years struggling alone and in silence. I help adults navigate addiction, compulsive behaviors, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach combines compassion, accountability, and practical tools to help you gain insight, break unhealthy patterns, strengthen relationships, and build the life you want.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here and making this decision to try something new (and maybe a little scary!) Current availability is mornings/early afternoons at this time (no late afternoon or evening availability). Therapy can truly be a sacred space. It's a place that can absolutely change your life, if you allow your self the time and space to heal. My focus is to see you as uniquely you: the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. I believe we all have inherent value and worth, and I strive to see this in every single person, including you! We may have some changes we need to make and some behaviors we have to part ways with, but through this healing journey, I want you to know how valued and loved you are. To embrace life again like we were meant to. To forgive others and learn to let go. To change what you can and find peace with what you can't. I operate from a trauma-informed perspective - recognizing how the past has changed the way we see ourselves and those around us. I look at how early life experiences impact our relationships, attachments, emotions, motivation, and joy. I incorporate mindfulness to help with regulation and utilize psychoeducation to understand that what happened in the past can't be changed, but we have the ability to pursue healing and growth regardless. I am self-pay only for couples sessions ($125/session).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people heal, grow, and cultivate self-love. I support clients in building confidence, overcoming anxiety or low self-worth, and transforming challenges into personal empowerment. Together, we focus on uncovering strengths, clarifying purpose, and creating meaningful change, so you can step fully into the life you want to live.

I believe healing is a choice. While no one chooses to experience trauma or is responsible for what happened to them, each person has to opportunity to decide how to move forward. Therapy cannot erase the past, but it can provide the tools and support to foster healing and growth. Every individual has the capacity to change and it is my privilege to walk alongside clients as they reclaim their lives and discover their own resilience.

I have been a Social Worker for about 12 years, and have worked in multiple settings including in the community, Private Practice, and at two different Children's Hospitals. I have experience working with school age children, teenagers, and adults. I have experience working with individuals with anxiety and depression, as well as some trauma. I also have experience working with individuals working through the adjustment and struggles of parenting, and also have personal experience with this as I am a Mother of two! I identify as a Christian and can incorporate Christian Counseling if a Client chooses that.

The one question I get most often by clients and peers is: Why did you go into the counseling profession? My response is always the same. First, I have always had a desire to help people in a time of need or distress. I have felt this way as far back as high school. Secondly, I went through a debilitating anxiety disorder in my mid-twenties. I know first-hand the helplessness and desperation mental and emotional pain causes. I never condone a therapist sharing with a client, they know how the client feels unless they themselves have experienced a similar type of pain. Lastly, I believe in the power of counseling and the benefits it can offer. Counseling is very different from medicine. Counseling requires the client to be actively involved in the process of healing and growth rather than taking medication and waiting for it to work. Counseling empowers a client to by allowing them to see their progress towards the life they desire on a daily, weekly, and even monthly basis.
