Change is hard, but when it’s needed, you feel it. Marital strain, career dissatisfaction, or lingering pain from the past can leave you feeling stuck, even when you know something has to shift. Taking those first steps toward change can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to gain clarity, process emotions, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. Healing becomes possible when you have an empathetic and attuned witness to your story; someone who helps you uncover insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and find new ways forward.
I’ve worked in a variety of settings as a counselor, educator, and clinical supervisor, and I’m passionate about helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My approach is collaborative, emotioanlly-focused, practical, and rooted in respect for each person’s unique journey.
If you’re ready to do the inner work; to feel more grounded, balanced, connected, and fulfilled- therapy can help you get there. Prioritize yourself. This is your moment for growth.
I am best described as a collaborative and client-centered clinician. I utilize compassion-centered approaches, incorporating education about the mind-body connection in our work. My goal is to integrate techniques to help you feel centered in your own body throughout our work together. While my approach is grounded in these techniques, we will work together to determine what works best for you.
Hi. My name is Amanda Jo! I'm honored you've taken the opportunity to read a little bit about me in order to determine if we might be a good fit to walk a part of life's journey together! I have over ten years of experience working in the field of mental health. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Saint Leo University and obtained my Masters in Social Work from Indiana University. I served in the United States Army and am acutely aware of the mental health and family issues specifically related to deployments as well as pre and post service. I have experience and knowledge related to birth-mothers and adoption. Furthermore, I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, middle aged and 'antiqued' populations who are struggling to manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, mood disorders, relationship conflict and/or unresolved trauma.
Life is a beautiful, complex journey that requires community to navigate. I'd be honored to be a part of your circle!

Hi, I’m Jessica. I provide a calm, steady space for adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, past experiences, or high-stress environments, including veterans and caregivers. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself, so you can move forward with clarity and balance.
Many of my clients are capable, caring people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, constant worry, or mental exhaustion. They may be navigating life transitions such as motherhood, relationship changes, career stress, or shifts in identity. I also work with veterans and individuals from high-stress environments who want a calm space to process and regain balance. Many are used to being the strong one for others but want to feel more grounded, present, and like themselves again.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just not yourself lately? You're not alone and you don't have to figure it all out on your own. I help people who are juggling too much-whether it's the demands of work, parenting, school or personal struggles. By working together, we can help you find clarity and stronger sense of self.

I completed my practicum, internship, and the following four years of my clinical experience at a nonprofit agency specializing in domestic violence and sexual assault. This experience deeply shaped my trauma-informed approach and commitment to providing compassionate, ethical care.
I work with ages 16–80 and support clients navigating concerns such as mood and personality disorders, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, and adjustment to life transitions.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change in their lives.
I am a social worker who has done therapy for 15 years. I work mainly with anxious and depressed adult clients, adult clients with ADHD, and adult clients with addiction including porn issues. I often work with couples having relationship issues or individuals in a relationship who want to discuss their relationship. Often relationships with other people and job stress comes up. Past trauma and its effects also frequently comes up.
When you’re used to caring for others, it can be hard to make space for yourself. I have a special interest in working with caregivers, especially those caring for loved ones impacted by Dementia. Caregiving can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring exhaustion, grief, and guilt. You don’t have to navigate these feelings alone. Over the past 6 years, I’ve supported people impacted by chronic illnesses, major life transitions, grief, and relationship challenges. I also enjoy working with adults experiencing Depression, Anxiety, stress, and burnout. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution focused. Together, we’ll work to build on your strengths and develop practical tools to help you move forward. If you’re ready to take the next step, I would be honored to support you. Please reach out to schedule an appointment to see if we could be a good fit.
I am dedicated to fostering individual growth, empowering clients to identify and cultivate previously unrecognized strengths. I view challenges as opportunities for continued development rather than impediments, embracing each person's unique journey. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and positive, goal-oriented strategies with a curious approach. Clients seeking faith-based counseling can also incorporate a Christian focus into their sessions.
My name is Darcy Smith and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor (LPCC-S) in the state of Ohio. I am from southern Ohio, and have raised my two sons here as well, ages 19 and 6. My journey in the helping profession began approximately 16 years ago when I started working as a behavioral rehabilitation specialist for a short term substance abuse treatment facility in West Virginia. Following that, I obtained two degrees from Ohio University - an Associate in Arts and Sciences with A Social Science Emphasis, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. After this experience, I worked for approximately 7 years at another local community mental health facility in Ohio where I obtained experience with a variety of levels of care and populations. While doing this, I completed a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling (M.Ed.) from Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky. Those experiences helped me prepare to become CEO and primary therapist of my own practice, Soul Oasis Counseling and Psychotherapy Services, and I am so grateful to be able to continue offering services for our amazing community and my fellow Ohioans. I have partnered with Grow Therapy and am now seeing all my clients exclusively through their platform.
Hi! I’m Shannon, a therapist and fellow mom who specializes in women’s and maternal mental health. I support women navigating pregnancy, infertility, postpartum anxiety and depression, identity shifts, and the mental load of motherhood. You can love your baby deeply and still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike yourself and that doesn’t make you a bad mom.
Alongside my work in maternal mental health, I also support women navigating life changes and transitions that shape who they are. This may include relationship changes or breakups, healing from trauma, anxiety about the future, depression, or rediscovering yourself during times when you feel lost or disconnected.
My work focuses on helping women slow down, reconnect with their nervous system, and become more in tune with their bodies so they can feel more grounded, confident, and whole.
I am a mother of 2 adult children, and a grandmother. I love spending time with them and my friends. I am a very spiritual person who loves spending time in church and meditating. I am also very open minded and love working with clients from all walks of life, and love learning from them. I have been a therapist for almost 20 years, but I've been a social worker for 30. My hobbies includes tending my gardens, one of which is a pollinator garden, binging tv shows, walking in nature, and doing crafts.
Life can be complicated, let's sort through it together!
Hi! I'm Emily, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with clients in both Illinois and Ohio. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment. In our work together, we'll celebrate your successes just as much as we'll work through your struggles, and I'll help you challenge unhelpful thought patterns while honoring the experiences that brought you here. We might even share a laugh along the way!
My background is in medical and oncology based social work. In my work, I support children, adolescents, young adults, and families as they navigate serious illness, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and strive to create a space where clients of ALL identities feel respected, welcomed, and supported. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work, with a concentration in Mental Health, from Loyola University Chicago.
Hi, I'm Julie D'Anniballe, founder of D'Anniballe Counseling and Wellness. I'm a licensed mental health counselor with over 18 years of experience. Additionally, I am a supervisor for the Kentucky Board of Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors. At D'Anniballe Counseling and Wellness, I prioritize creating a nurturing environment for healing and personal growth. I provide mental health counseling to adults and teens who are seeking support, clarity, and meaningful change in their lives.
My name is Emily (she/her), and I’m an imperfect human who also happens to be a mental health therapist. I try my best to make my office (whether virtual or in-person) a cozy, safe space for all. I want you to feel like we’re two equals sharing this experience together.
You are free to be your truest, most unfiltered self in this space. Want to have a snack or a meal while we meet? We love listening to our body’s hunger cues. Need to fold laundry while we process a recent interaction to keep your hands busy? I’ll cheer you on as I listen. Therapy looks different for everyone, and sometimes we need different accommodations than the typical “cookie cutter” image.
I’ve worked in a variety of environments, and have experience working with kids, teens, and adults. I have worked with couples and families, as well as in group settings. Most importantly, I know how it feels to be on the opposite end of the therapeutic couch, hoping to have a safe connection with a provider. Therapy is often messy, weird, a little awkward, and sometimes we share a really good laugh together. There is no perfect client, and there is no perfect therapist. We’re all just doing our best with what we have, and I hope to model that for my clients.
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m passionate about walking alongside you on your healing journey—supporting you as you work toward symptom relief, emotional balance, greater self-acceptance, and more fulfilling relationships. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been honored to work as a therapist for 13 years.

I work to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help each person build practical skills, recognize their strengths, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling. I believe every person has a unique story, and I consider it a privilege to be part of that journey.
You deserve a therapist who sees all of you — not just the struggle you’re carrying. I’m here to be that safe space. My clients often describe me as grounding and easy to talk to — someone who helps them feel safe, seen, and understood. In our work together, I’ll help you untangle what feels heavy, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your true self. My passion is helping you move from simply surviving to creating a life that feels grounded, abundant, and aligned with who you really are.
Hi and welcome. My name is Chrissy Marie Bosley, LISW, a licensed clinical therapist with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals and couples find healing, hope and lasting change. My practice combines evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, with a solution-focused approach that helps clients identify and transform the unhelpful beliefs that keep them feeling stuck. I also offer Christian faith integration for those who desire it, creating a compassionate, personalized space where healing, resilience and restored relationships can flourish.
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I strive to create an environment where you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and understood. You can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. After all, we're only human.
I enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences by combining compassion with practical tools and meaningful insight. I'm naturally curious and creative in my thinking, and I often incorporate psychoeducation to help clients better understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences. While I take my clients and their struggles seriously, I also believe there is room for humor and lightness in the healing process when the moment calls for it.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you recognize your strengths, build confidence in yourself, and rediscover hope.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience in helping others. I am an Army veteran and have served children, adults, couples, military members and their families. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have seen great results when using this method with my clients. I am also trained in grief therapy and have dealt with grief on a personal level, which I believe helps me to be more empathetic for my clients going through major life changes.
Hi! My name is Jana! Thank you for reading my profile :) I want you to know a little about me so you can decide if you'd like to schedule with me. I am licensed in Ohio and I have been a Therapist for over 10 years. I have been doing teletherapy for quite awhile now and I much prefer it to in-office settings. I am a mother to 3 wild kiddos, I live in the country and I [try to] make friends with feral cats. I am very chatty, I enjoy getting to know the people that I am working with. I have a lot of experience in several areas: domestic violence, narcissism, autism, intellectual disabilities, adhd, depression, pregnancy loss, anxiety, parenting issues, life changes, bullying, etc. I like a natural conversation style in sessions so it is as comfortable as possible! FYI: I'm not currently accepting couples and I don't write recommendation letters for ESA/service animals due to the potential liability.
In and out of the therapy room, I show up as an authentic, warm, and grounded human being. Clients often describe my presence as a balance of steady calm and active engagement. I listen with deep curiosity and without a shred of judgment, creating a sanctuary where you can drop your guard. I balance gentle validation with honest feedback. I will kindly challenge you when necessary to help you grow. I do not believe therapy has to be cold or clinical. We will laugh, celebrate your wins, and navigate heavy emotions together. I view you as the ultimate expert on your own life. We operate as equal partners in your healing journey. My clinical framework is flexible and integrative. I reject one-size-fits-all treatments, drawing instead from multiple evidence-based modalities to treat the whole person. My approach to therapy is shaped by a deep respect for the human experience and the resilience it requires to navigate modern life.
Hi, I'm Jason. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory designation (LISW-S) based in Ohio. Over the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of helping adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, and the stress that can come with everyday life.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in manufacturing. That experience gave me an appreciation for how difficult it can be to make big life changes and start over. Since then, I've worked extensively in medical social work and hospice, supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments. Those experiences continue to shape the empathy, perspective, and compassion I bring to therapy.
I work with adults and couples from a variety of backgrounds and tailor therapy to each person's unique needs. My approach is collaborative, drawing primarily from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Strengths-Based Therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood, so my goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can better understand what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult relationship, adjusting to a major life change, or simply looking for someone to help you make sense of what you're experiencing, I'm here to support you as we work toward meaningful, lasting change.
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 am a compassionate therapist who creates a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard and empowered. My experience as a first responder for children in crisis strengthened my ability to remain calm and grounded in high‑stress situations. I’m committed to helping clients build practical tools for resilience and growth. Outside of work, I enjoy nature, hiking, baking, reading, and traveling.
I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts, emotions, and concerns. practice from a strengths-based perspective. I tend to be direct and mix in a little humor. I believe in the power of your story. This is YOUR journey and I applaud your strength in seeking care.
Welcome! As a board-certified psychotherapist, I am here to be a support. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and I'm glad you're here. If you've been feeling stuck, anxious, or just not like yourself lately, I want you to know you don't have to navigate that alone. I am passionate about supporting adolescents and adults using an authentic, curious, and compassionate approach.
Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a mental health counselor who has obtained their LPCC (Licensed Practical Clinical Counselor). I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression and life transitions. My approach combines warmth, compassion, and evidence-based therapies like CBT. Through the use of evidence- based strategies, we will be able to use a variety of performance skills ranging from mindset and motivation to improving focus and concentration, to developing confidence and mental toughness. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation, a two-sided dialogue with room for reflection, healing and growth.
Hi, I am Olena and I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and EMDR therapy. I’ve found that my niche is helping clients who are tired of feeling stuck, caught in old patterns, or reliving the past.
You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of painful memories, past experiences, or emotions that feel impossible to manage alone. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy should be a safe space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered throughout your healing process.
I look forward to hearing your story.
My practice was born from the understanding that people who struggle often have filled their day to day lives with survival mechanisms: habits, actions, and thoughts that may have helped in the moment but become burdensome over time. The lasting effects of trauma can create an overwhelming sense of self-blame, leaving individuals questioning, "Am I the problem?" or "Did I do something wrong?"
My practice exists to help individuals build a healthier "life worth living". Where pain, fear, sadness, anger, and memories can be honored rather than suppressed. It is a place where healthier coping skills are developed, empowering clients to create lives filled with resilience and meaning.
I am a licensed clinical social worker who has six years of experience and graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a dual degree in Social Work and Nonprofit Organizational Management. Outside of work I love to travel, cook, and craft.
Beginning therapy is a courageous step, and I don’t take that for granted. I'm here to help ensure your journey is meaningful and personalized. My work focuses on supporting individuals through trauma, life transitions, as well as challenges related to anxiety, depression, and grief. I use a collaborative, strengths-based, client-centered approach, customizing each session to fit your specific needs and goals. You’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can truly be yourself whenever you are ready to begin.
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.

Hi, I’m Rob. I hail from Steubenville, Ohio. Let’s jump right in. Life is hard- we all need a little help and support on the journey. I see myself as walking beside the people with whom I work. Some need to look into the past and process it, receiving a different perspective on it. Some have a specific goal in mind like decreasing anxiety by learning new skills in a short period of time. Others need a listening ear, with some insights sprinkled in. Others still, benefit from clarity and analysis. What do you need? I believe the interpersonal connection between counselor and client can be healing in and of itself. People are ones that hurt us, we're also the ones that heal each other.

We all experience life differently and sometimes trying to figure out how to handle those experiences can be overwhelming. I am here for you, so you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to provide you with a warm, safe, and inviting environment where I can help you with processing any thoughts and feelings you may have about life challenges.
I am a LISW-S and have over 20 years experience working with adults, children, teens, families, and groups. My primary areas of focus have been anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, behavioral issues, anger management, stress management and sexual abuse. In session, we will learn how our thoughts lead to our feelings and behaviors and how to use those thoughts to ensure better outcomes. I will give you the tools to help you better deal with life stressors while empowering you to do so.
If you’re looking for a unique and creative approach that balances science-backed research with humanity, you’ve come to the right place. My name is Stevie, and I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with certification in Dialectical behavior therapy. I have a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Counseling, undergrad education in behavioral neuroscience, and work as a professional artist. I'm a particularly great fit for the LGBTQ population, mood disorders, or anyone that has had a hard time finding the right therapist/approach.
My name is Margaret Whitmore, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I began working in the mental health field in 2015 as a case manager. In 2019, I graduated with my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Ursuline College. I am dedicated to providing counseling services to those looking to reignite their spark in life.
Hi, I’m Meagan. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next steps — especially when stress, anxiety, or major life transitions start to affect confidence, relationships, or daily functioning.
I take a practical, supportive approach to therapy, helping you understand what’s getting in your way, identify your strengths, and develop skills you can actually use in real life. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and capable of managing challenges as you move toward the life you want.
Threatening or painful events can change the way we see the world and ourselves. I help clients who are feeling distressed by their past as they are trying to live their daily lives. I enjoy working with clients who need a listener to sit with them after a difficult time, and gently navigate a path to better well-being. I believe that there are many ways to heal including the use of EMDR. Never heard of it? That's okay. I'm very approachable and won't judge you. You are not alone. Let's talk!
I’m a husband and dad to three boys (ages 16, 13 and 8), and family is a huge part of my life. We live on a 20-acre homestead where we raise chickens, goats, pigs, and cows, and we spend a lot of time in the garden. Life on the farm keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the value of patience, hard work, and slowing down to enjoy what really matters. Faith and community are also central for me. I’m actively involved in my church, and I see my work as an extension of that calling to walk alongside others.
I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. Alongside my therapy work, I am starting a tech start-up, I’ve run an online store, and I even dabble in Bitcoin mining. I enjoy the challenge of building things from the ground up and thinking outside the box. I also read a lot, and my libertarian leanings have been shaped by writers like Murray Rothbard. The conservative/libertarian focus on freedom, personal responsibility and low time preference connects deeply with how I approach life and therapy: we’re at our best when we are free to live with responsibility in society, own our choices, and pursue truth apart from coercion.
When it comes to therapy itself, I integrate my faith with practical, proven methods. I use Christian Counseling, CBT, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to help people grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. My goal is to give you a space where your values are respected, your faith is honored, and you feel equipped to face life’s challenges with hope and clarity.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the importance of faith, family, freedom, and practical tools for change, I’d love to walk with you on your journey.
I am a compassionate and experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) with over 20 years of experience and dual credentials in mental health and substance abuse treatment in Ohio.

My approach is collaborative and practical, offering both emotional support and evidence-based strategies to empower clients as they work toward meaningful, lasting growth.
I was drawn to this work by my beloved family member, who lived her life with a mental illness. Watching her courage taught me early on that healing happens in relationships—when we feel seen, safe, and supported. Outside the office, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen, planning my next travel adventure, or getting some fresh air and exercise. These keep me grounded and curious—qualities I bring to our work.
Hello, and welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect and support. I believe that one of my primary jobs as your therapist is to help you feel happy and content with your life, with optimism to continue improving each day. I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel heard, respected and understood by your therapist in the most genuine of settings.
I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, trauma, lack of motivation, self-confidence, and various emotional challenges. My approach is person-centered and will always be focused on what is best for you. I utilized Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and Person-Centered approaches with each of my clients, with heavy emphasis on the power of our thoughts as they relate to our behaviors.
Whether you're seeking support during a difficult time, working through long-standing behavior patterns or simply looking to improve your life, my goal is to provide you with a comfortable and motivating environment to help you become the best version of yourself. Taking that first step towards therapy is challenging and my goal is to ensure you are provided with a safe and nonjudgemental environment where you can express yourself openly and develop effective coping skills to move toward the life you desire.
I have been practicing as a social worker since 2018. I have had the good fortune to work for several types of agencies during that time and have experience with severe, persistent mental illness as a result of my time working for an inpatient psychiatric unit as well as experience working as a therapist in community mental health. I am currently working with adults aged 18 and up. I have been successfully treating first responders, military personnel, and survivors of domestic violence and child abuse.
I am a trauma survivor who is also the mother of two amazing children on the Autism Spectrum. As a result of these two circumstances, I have spent time on the other side of the therapeutic relationship and became a therapist to pay back the time and attention that was given to me while my family was needing healing and support.
I have specialized training in EMDR treatment and certification for personality disorder treatment. I utilize a very directive approach to treatment and encourage the client to guide their treatment so it is a joint process where they can feel empowered.

Hello! My name is McKenzie Thomas and I am a licensed therapist with over six years of experience specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. I work with adults and adolescents, particularly those who are navigating the challenges of life transitions, identity, and mental health struggles. As a mixed-race therapist, I bring an understanding of cultural sensitivity and an appreciation for the unique experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
I graduated with my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2016 and I have been practicing counseling in Ohio since October 2016. I have worked with a wide spectrum of clients ranging from teenagers up to retirees. I specialize in working with youth, teens, and adults, but I thrive working with clients across the lifespan. My hope is to help clients achieve their goals for therapy, no matter the age group or struggle.
My name is Meghan Jensen, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in 13 states, where I support clients, couples, and families in navigating a variety of life's challenges. Over the past eight years, I have worked in residential treatment, school counseling, and intensive outpatient settings. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families by helping them navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, and life transitions. I believe in creating a collaborative strengths-based therapeutic environment that empowers individuals and families to build resilience and develop meaningful, lasting change. I earned my Master's Degree in Counseling from the University of Wyoming with an emphasis in Play Therapy and Psychotherapy and am currently pursuing my PhD in Developmental Psychology. My clinical training includes Adlerian and Child-Based Play Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I enjoy integrating evidence-based approaches to meet each client's unique needs.
With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health, I am a Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families on their path toward healing and personal growth. I believe that each person brings their own unique strengths to therapy, and I use a strengths-based approach to help clients build on what’s already working while gently addressing the areas where they may feel stuck or overwhelmed.
My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and treated with compassion. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe being themselves—whether they are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, or working through relationship challenges.
Over the years, I’ve found that no single approach fits every person or situation. That’s why I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to the individual needs and goals of each client. My integrative style allows me to meet clients wherever they are in their journey, whether they’re seeking short-term support or longer-term work.
Above all, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they explore, heal, and grow. My goal is to foster a trusting, collaborative relationship where clients feel empowered to make meaningful changes and create the lives they want for themselves and their loved ones.
If you are feeling tired, overwhelmed, and wondering when life will feel normal again, please know that hope and healing are possible. Whether you are navigating past trauma, relationship struggles, or the anxieties of everyday life, you deserve to live with confidence and eager anticipation for the future. You don't have to carry this weight alone.
As your therapist, my heart’s desire is to partner with you, meet you exactly where you are, and create a safe, supportive environment for your growth. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients addressing concerns such as addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships, and trauma.
My approach to counseling is eclectic and holistic, utilizing evidence-based practices tailored to your unique journey. I incorporate modalities including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
EMDR and Trauma-Informed Care
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Additionally, if integrating faith into your therapy is important to you, I am happy to incorporate biblical principles into our work together. I offer flexible scheduling and look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to hope, healing, and restoration.
Hi, I'm Angelica Gray, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LISW) providing telehealth therapy for adults in Arkansas and Ohio. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and life stressors using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful, lasting changes.
Welcome, and come as you are. I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding yourself on a deeper level. Many of the struggles we experience in adulthood, whether in relationships, self-worth, anxiety, trauma, communication, or life satisfaction, are shaped by patterns that developed long before we were aware of them. My role is to help you identify those patterns, understand why they exist, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over a decade of clinical experience. I hold a bachelor's in social work (BSW) from Capital University and a master's in clinical mental health counseling from The University of Dayton. In addition to having my LPCC, I also hold a license as a Licensed Social Worker (LSW). I have been in the helping profession for 15+ years. I have always had a passion for helping others. My earliest memories go back to teaching my stuffed animals and baby dolls to helping my next-door neighbor who had Down Syndrome, learn and recite her ABCs. As well as listening to my friends in elementary school vent about their traumas (I clearly didn't know that's what I was doing). I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, self-esteem and so much more. My goal is to help you reach holistic wellness and happiness.
If I could write a letter to my younger self, I would tell her this: You are not broken. You are responding to what you’ve been through. And one day, your healing will become someone else’s hope. Hi, I’m Cherita Griffin, MS, LPCC-S, NCC, CYT, SEL-F, C-DBT, CMIP—a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Endorsement who has spent over 20 years supporting people through mental health challenges. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who deeply understands that healing is not just clinical… it’s personal. I’m also a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT), Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL-F), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), and Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), allowing me to integrate both evidence-based practices and holistic approaches into the work we do together. I specialize in helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves find their way back to clarity, confidence, and peace. In our work together, we don’t just talk, we gently uncover, process, and rebuild. I combine evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and Social Emotional Learning with a compassionate, real, and non-judgmental space.
This is a place where:
• You don’t have to have it all together
• You don’t have to carry everything alone
• You can finally exhale
Healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about returning to who you were before life taught you to shrink, question yourself, or survive in silence.
You deserve to feel whole, worthy, and at peace.

I am passionate about helping clients build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and experience meaningful, sustainable growth that extends beyond the therapy room.

I grew up in Ohio, but now live on a 17 acre homestead in the Ozarks with my wife of 17 years and our 6 children. My personal interests range from video games to lumberjacking. I have enjoyed the time and opportunity to work remotely and start a new chapter in my life with my family figuring out the homesteading chaos.
I am a blessed mom of 2 boys, with a loving spouse that supports me, and a world where I get to work with people that want support in their lives. Even with the life I live, there are many challenges that we have to navigate. I have 2 years of experience providing mental health services to the youth of today and because of my personal experinces, I have been able to connect with them and help them grow. All I can ask from my clients is to give me a chance to work with you as you navigate life challenges to find a life that's blessed.
Therapy is something that has a flow. I may have an idea in mind for what to talk about, but your daily input is more important. Together we will flow through your emotions while facing opportunities to challenge the way you think and guide you to new possibilities; while managing heightened emotions. I use techniques from art therapy, narrative therapy, strength based and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) as a way to have all the tools in my toolbox that we may need.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, grow, and thrive.

Hi, I’m Amanda, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I try to help people make sense of their patterns, work through trauma, and create change in their lives. My style is honest, supportive, and pretty down-to-earth.
We’ll focus on what you want to work on, at a pace that feels manageable.

From there, we’ll find ways to move forward that feel realistic and aligned with who you are.
You can expect a mix of insight, compassion, and directness from me. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling more clear, more grounded, and more connected to yourself.

I’m a business owner, a single mom, and a foster and adoptive parent. I understand what it’s like to juggle multiple roles, carry constant responsibility, and still want to show up well for the people who matter most. One thing I say often is “work on yourself first.” It’s one of the few things we actually have control over even when we feel as though we don't, and it’s also the thing we tend to put off. We’re busy, we’re juggling everything, and before we know it, we’re stuck in patterns that feel frustrating and hard to break. No judgment here. I get it.
I’ve been working with individuals and families as a therapist since 2018, with a background in healthcare prior to that, and I’ve spent my career serving the Fort Worth community I grew up in.

Transformation! Therapy changed my life many years ago. which motivated me to help others do the same. For 28 years, I've had the honor of engaging with people to heal from emotional pain and ineffective patterns that keep them from living the life they long for.
My approach is genuine, caring and respectful to clients. You'll be accepted and we'll start right where you are and with your story. My interventions are based on clinical evidence, and you can read about the proven methods I use below. However, because of my experience as a client, I know it takes a real connection and genuine kindness to make it all work.
I help high functioning women who are exhausted from always being "the strong one". Through trauma-informed therapy, I help clients understand survival patterns, heal from past experiences, set healthier boundaries, navigate burnout and life transitions. As your therapist, i'm not interested in simply helping you "cope", I'm interested in helping build a life that feels grounded, balanced and sustainable.
My practice, The Culture of Rest, serves women who look like they have everything together on the outside, but internally feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that once kept them safe. The name itself reflects my philosophy that rest isn't something that is a reward for achieving. Rest is something that I teach you to reclaim as a part of healing.
Outside of therapy, I provide forensic mental health evaluations for individuals navigating the immigration process.
Do you feel like something is holding you back? Getting in your way? Many people run into barriers- barriers that keep them from achieving their goals, get in the way of their relationships, or keep them from moving on. These barriers can look like anxiety, depression, trauma, communication patterns, etc. This is where I can help!
I have worked with crisis services and trauma survivors my whole career; and trauma can look different for everyone! I enjoy nothing more than helping clients identify the barriers that are holding them back; constructing a plan to break it down and take steps towards doing so.

My name is Gary Youssef and I have been providing mental/behavioral health services for children, adolescents, adults and families for 25+ years. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing mental/behavioral health issues impacting children and adults such as: career/school stressors, depression, anxiety, relational issues, parenting, family systems, medical challenges, healthy lifestyles, etc. I worked for 14 years as a therapist and program manager at the central outpatient psychiatry clinic at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego which is ranked as one of the top 10 children's hospitals in the United States by U.S. News and World report. I have helped provide behavioral health services for over 10,000 children, adults and families throughout San Diego County. In addition, I helped support U.S. service members and their families while working as a military family life counselor at Naval Medical Center-San Diego in Pediatrics. I also volunteered at San Diego Unified School District and coached little league. I love being a father to my two awesome sons and I enjoy athletics and cooking in my free time. I am practical and eclectic therapist combining elements from theoretical orientations such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy to help clients of all ages. The vast majority of my clients report that they had a good experience working with me and describe me as experienced, professional, friendly, kind, helpful and effective.
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be empowered by life's obstacles which we all must face. No one should feel alone in a storm. I understand that clients want to feel heard with a sense of empathy and understanding. I have provided trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy, behavioral modification, and emotional support for managing mental health symptoms. I create a safe space for my clients to express their feelings and I provide positive feedback. We all go through changes and sometimes those changes are difficult to cope with. You do not have to struggle; you are not alone. I specialize in helping people reframe their thinking in order to overcome past traumatic experiences, familial conflict, and low self-esteem.
I offer individual, couples/marriage, and family therapy from the comfort of your own home. I will work around your busy lifestyle to help you build a treatment plan to accomplish your goals.
Veterans, men facing difficult life circumstances, and adults dealing with significant personal struggles—you’re here to find solutions.
You’re here because something in your life feels heavy, confusing, or out of control, and you’re ready for things to change. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, difficulty managing anger, stress, overthinking, low confidence, or several of these at once, you don’t have to keep carrying the burden alone. These struggles are common, and with the right support and a clear plan forward, change is possible.
I’ve worked with thousands of clients who felt stuck in self-defeating beliefs, guilt, shame, or old patterns that drained the joy out of life. What I’ve learned is simple: when people reconnect with hope, purpose, and strengths they may have forgotten they possess, they often begin seeing themselves and their circumstances differently.
I also welcome men who feel overwhelmed, unheard, criticized, or uncertain of themselves within important relationships. Counseling can help you better understand what is happening, rebuild confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and make decisions based on your own values rather than fear, guilt, or pressure.
I’m here to listen without judgment, help you make sense of what you’re facing, and help you develop healthier perspectives that actually work in real life. I’m Christian-friendly for clients who want faith incorporated into counseling and fully comfortable with secular therapy for those who don’t. My job is to meet you where you are, not push you into a box.
I’m also a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan. I’ll gladly work with Michigan fans too…but I can’t promise the same level of nonjudgmental neutrality I offer everyone else. :)
Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff. We can be real humans in the room together.

Hi, I'm Becca- a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over two decades of experience helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, genuine conversation. I create a calm, compassionate space where my wonderful clients can understand their unique stories, build emotional resilience, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life. I genuinely love what I do and want you to feel comfortable, seen, and supported from the very first session!
I am a LCSW with 20 years of experience working with clients suffering from depression, anxiety, burnout and other mental health issues. I help identify root issues and work with my clients to better understand their therapeutic goals. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing challenges in their lives or relationships. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative and tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and positive change and I am here to support you on your journey towards greater emotional well-being and fulfillment.
I have been a counselor for over 26 years. I work with clients from very diversified backgrounds, helping clients to identify their issues, helping them to determine what is leading to these issues, and determining the best steps to address such issues. We will take a look at how your past is potentially affecting your current day and further attempt to work through any issues from your past that are stopping you from getting to where you want to be in life. I provide a nurturing, supportive and motivating environment.
Over the years, I've worked across diverse community settings, including Home-Based Services, hospitals, outpatient, PHP, residential, and virtual environments. My experience spans working with children, teens, adults, and older adults (geriatric population) facing challenges such as homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, COVID-19, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression, and more.
I understand that you may be going through a difficult time. Life brings many challenges that can cause one to feel anxiety, stress, worry, and doubt. Does this sound like you? I want you to know that I can empower you with the tools of success.
Life affects us all in challenging and positive ways. We connect on similarities and grow when differences are present. Acceptance, care, empathy, and genuineness are values I hold dear in life and in the therapy experience. I love having the opportunity to journey with others through life's beauty and valleys. Outside of the therapy world, I love spending time in nature, with animals, friends, and family! I enjoy reading, working out, and the opportunities life has to offer! Feel free to ask anything you would like to know!
