I believe mental health and overall wellness are deeply connected, so I emphasize caring for both mind and body in therapy. In addition to my clinical work, I have spent over 11 years as a high school soccer coach, which has strengthened my ability to mentor, motivate, and foster resilience skills I carry into my therapeutic practice.

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.

I graduated with a M. Ed with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling in 2012, have been an LPC since 2013. I received my Independent Chemical Dependency License in 2021 and my Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in 2025. I draw from multiple theoretical approaches and techniques, tailoring your treatment plan to your needs by selecting the most effective methods from various therapies, rather than strictly adhering to one specific school of thought.

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.

My name is Amber. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of Ohio. My role is to empower you on this journey of self-actualization. I bring authenticity, warmth, and a solution-oriented approach. We will be working side by side to identify your goals, values, and strengths. From there, we will process past experiences to help you move on to becoming your best self. I have been helping clients achieve their goals for the past several years. These clients range from the age of one-year-old to over fifty-years-old. About 60% of my clients are 12 and under. In working with younger children, I have had the most success using telehealth when parents are present to monitor, arrange a predictable environment, and assist with any technical issues. In working with younger children, the parents’ role is vital. I work as a team with parents and caregivers to build a healthy relationship and find the appropriate strengths-based parenting strategies for the child. Recommended parenting techniques are largely based on the Conscious Discipline model which encourages mindful parenting. With younger children, the parents’ cooperation is imperative to reach desired behavioral goals. I also draw from the approaches outlined in Working with Challenging Youth by Brent Richardson, Ed.D.

I’m a warm and compassionate therapist dedicated to helping people who feel overwhelmed by emotions, struggle with relationships, or live with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and attachment challenges. With specialized training and years of experience, I understand how isolating and exhausting it can feel to be stuck in painful cycles or to feel misunderstood by others. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental—I believe that every person deserves to feel safe, heard, and valued. In our work together, I’ll support you in exploring your feelings, building healthier connections, and developing practical tools to manage life’s challenges. My goal is to help you find relief, build confidence, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I'm Caron (pronounced just like 'Karen', and I bring a lifetime of diverse experiences to my work as a counselor. Having lived through many of life’s transitions myself, I understand that growth often comes from challenge and change. My perspective as an older adult allows me to connect with clients from all walks of life with authenticity, patience, and empathy. Over the years, I’ve learned that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a personal journey. I draw on my own lived experiences, professional training, and genuine curiosity about people to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel truly seen and heard. Whether someone is facing anxiety, addiction, grief, or life transitions, I help them discover their inner strengths and move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life. My goal is to empower clients to recognize that it’s never too late to grow, to heal, and to live with greater self-acceptance and purpose.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience helping people feel more grounded, capable, and connected to themselves again. I work with teens and adults who are carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related struggles, or the weight of trying to manage everything at once. My approach is honest, supportive, and focused on helping you build a life that feels manageable, meaningful, and aligned with who you want to be.

Welcome! I’m Amanda, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor dedicated to walking alongside individuals on their healing journey. I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy, emphasizing collaboration and authenticity in building a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. With a Bachelor’s in Communication and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults in both youth day treatment and outpatient settings. My experience includes helping clients navigate trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis, life transitions, peer and family relationship issues. I’m especially passionate about supporting those processing religious, racial, and sexual trauma, and I strive to create inclusive, affirming spaces for clients from the Neurodiverse, Black, and LGBTQIA+ communities. I incorporate creative psychoeducation to engage clients meaningfully and empower them toward growth and healing. Thank you for being here. I look forward to the opportunity to support you. Peace be with you.
