I am a licensed therapist with 5 years experience supporting individuals with navigating the day-to-day and life transitions in the midst of experiencing anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I utilize talk therapy and operate from a person-centered approach to help form a trusting relationship where you feel safe and comfortable opening up.

I like to create be creative with each of my clients and find the treatment modality that will work best for them and their situation.

I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and asks how that makes you feel. That’s not what most men need, especially when it feels like it’s falling apart. I work with men who are overwhelmed, burned out, or angry and don’t know why. Men who feel stuck in their heads, disconnected from the people they love, or like they’re always one step away from snapping. Some are facing divorce. Others are trying to be better dads, partners, or sons, but they often feel like they’re failing. Many were pushed into therapy by someone who cares about them. Almost all of them stay once they realize it helps. My approach is practical, honest, and built for the real world. I use tools from CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, plus a good dose of common sense to help you understand what’s going on and actually do something about it. No psychobabble. No lectures. Just straight talk and strategies that work. If you're tired of feeling angry, lost, or numb, it's going to be okay. You're not broken, and you're not alone. This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about finding your footing and getting back to who you were before life got so heavy.

I take my work with my clients very seriously and work hard to help them move out of pain, suffering and difficulty. Then they are able to realize, accept and take responsibility to define and live out the life to which they aspire.

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.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by chronic stress? Do you find yourself caught in unsatisfying relationships, caregiving roles, or patterns of behavior that no longer serve you? I believe that change is possible—and that you already have the inner strength needed to make it happen. Together, we can uncover your innate resources and develop the tools you need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and renewed purpose. As a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience, I offer a compassionate and collaborative approach. My clinical background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults in areas such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, impulse control, and chronic stress. I also have expertise in adoption-related issues and self-harming behaviors. Today, my focus is on helping adults build resilience and embrace meaningful growth. I earned my PhD in Social Welfare from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory designation in Ohio. Beyond my work as a clinician, I have extensive experience as a scholar, published author, and administrator, which enriches my ability to support my clients with both depth and practicality. My ideal client is someone who is ready to embrace change, deepen their self-awareness, and commit to their personal growth. Let’s work together to transform old patterns into opportunities for joy, balance, and fulfillment. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out—I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

I’m not your typical therapist—and that’s by design. You won’t catch me in a blazer with a clipboard asking, “And how does that make you feel?” Instead, I show up in jeans and a t-shirt, ready to create a space that’s authentic, safe, and deeply grounded in trust. Therapy with me feels more like a real conversation than a clinical interrogation. I specialize in walking alongside people who’ve been through massive, life-altering trauma—whether that’s the complex wounds of family conflict, the heavy burdens carried by survivors of sexual and physical abuse, or the unique pain experienced by those navigating PTSD and narcissistic abuse. I’m deeply committed to supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community who often face trauma rooted in marginalization, misunderstanding, and identity struggles. Beyond individual and relational trauma, I also work with people impacted by large-scale, collective trauma—survivors of war, violent attacks, murders, and other devastating events that shake the very foundations of safety and trust. I live with ADHD myself, so I intimately understand what it’s like to feel scattered, overstimulated, or to have a brain that just works a little differently. That personal insight informs how I show up in our work together—whether you’re neurodivergent or simply need a therapist who truly “gets it,” you’re in the right place. Trauma healing isn’t about ticking boxes or applying textbook techniques—it requires presence, patience, and a real human connection. My style is relaxed, honest, and deeply supportive. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure, and together we’ll work toward reclaiming your wholeness. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical or cold. It can be raw, real, and deeply human. That’s what I bring—and that’s what you deserve.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 40+ years of experience in providing mental health treatment and evaluations. I pursued an academic track early in my career with faculty appointments in the medical schools of Hahnemann, Brown, and Case Western Reserve Universities. I have been published in professional psychology and medical journals, and presented both nationally and internationally. I have now pursued private practice for 25+ years primarily as an outpatient psychologist and individual psychotherapist. I work with adults ages 18 and older, including seniors. I have engaged effectively with diverse populations experiencing a wide array of difficulties. My special interests are in treating Mood Disorders (Depression and Bipolar Disorder), Anxiety and Stress-Related Disorders, Men's Issues, and Chronic Pain.

My practice was born from the understanding that for people who struggle often have filled their 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 five 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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, advocate, mother, runner, and yoga enthusiast. I believe that everyone would benefit from talk therapy because life is challenging, complicated, and busy.

Hello, I’m Dr. Dionne Smith, PhD, LICDC-S. I am the owner of ALIVE Therapy & Consulting; working 20 + years as a clinical psychologist and licensed independent Chemical Dependency Counselor-supervisor. I am: genuine, an “optimistic realist”, practical, creative and research and results focused.I have a wicked sense of humor and love to laugh. All of which I incorporate into my sessions with clients. Merriam Webster defines the word Alive as” having life…still in existence…still active in competition with a chance of victory…knowing or realizing the existence of something… marked by alertness, energy… marked by much life, animation, or activity”. This dictionary definition is a good enough description of the word. But does not describe the dynamic process that represents being ALIVE. I define ALIVE as "Authentic Living Inspired by Values and Experience" [TM]. It is a process of: • Accepting reality • Releasing the past • Cultivating resilience • Acting with intention • Nurturing passion, ability and skill. My role is to provide non-judgmental, honest, compassionate support and science-based and results-focused guidance on this journey of discovery and healing. Having benefitted from therapy myself, I understand the importance of finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with and trust. As a PSYPACT Authorized provider, I offer flexible, confidential evening and weekend appointments via teletherapy which is available within more than 30 states, including: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin (more pending!)

I believe my purpose is to walk with people as they work through past traumas, depression, and anxiety. I also work with adults struggling with life and career obstacles due to the challenging symptoms of ADHD.

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.
