PLEASE DO NOT SCHEDULE YOUR OWN APPOINTMENTS. I HAVE TWO SCHEDULES THAT DON'T SHOW. IT CAUSES DOUBLE BOOKING AND I MAY HAVE TO MOVE WHAT YOU SCHEDULE TO A DIFFERENT DAY AND TIME. MESSAGE ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND WE WILL SCHEDULE. In life I have experienced many things that led me to start a private practice to help others gain their personal power back. I know how the struggle affects a person and with the skills that I have acquired over thirty years of work I know how to help someone be successful. There is no subject or experience that I won't or haven't broached. If I don't know how to do it, I will find out how to make you successful. I prefer that you contact me directly to schedule as I have 2 schedules that don't sync. PLEASE contact me first. It is possible if you schedule an appointment I would have to change it if I was already booked. Please call me directly and we will schedule so I don't have to reschedule the appointment that you schedule with me. I appreciate your patience and cooperation in the matter.

Hi, I'm Christy. I have over 25 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am licensed in Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, aging, self-esteem, or relationship issues? Feeling overwhelmed by the constant news cycle? Struggling with anxiety or frustration due to politics? Let’s talk about strategies to navigate stressors, regain control of your mental health, and have emotional balance. Seeking therapy can be scary, but you are making the first step to a healthier, more positive you. I will provide a safe space for you to heal and grow. I accept Medicare in Indiana and Ohio, along with other insurances.

Do you feel like you're running at full capacity, with no room left to slow down? On the outside, you're the person who has it all together—the high-performing professional, the dependable parent, the supportive partner. On the inside, it looks different depending on the day. Maybe it's anxiety that never quite shuts off. Maybe it's depression that's crept in under the weight of everything you carry. Maybe it's burnout from roles that never let you clock out. For many, it's not just one—it's all of them, looping together until it's hard to tell where one ends and the next begins. My Approach: The Engineer's Mindset My foundational background is in Mechanical Engineering, and while I transitioned to counseling to follow my passion for human connection, that analytical, systems-based training never left me. I don't just see "problems"; I see complex systems that need adjustment, recalibration, and better fuel. How This Mindset Benefits You Most of my clients are high-achievers tired of "surface-level" talk therapy. They want a therapist as dedicated to results as they are. Together, we will: Analyze the System: Move beyond symptoms to identify the breakdowns underneath—depression, anxiety, career burnout, or family dynamics. Build a Mental Blueprint: Create a concrete plan using evidence-based tools like DBT and EMDR to process trauma and work through performance issues holding you back. Optimize Relationships: Help couples and families move from constant conflict to genuine connection. Move from Surviving to Thriving: Since 2013, I've helped clients navigate major life changes—career pivots, new parenthood, loss—and build a life of purpose and sustainable well-being.

I began my journey as a therapist while I was Active Duty military and I saw firsthand how trauma was so prominent whether from childhood and/or combat related. With the different treatment options available, I feel that I have an opportunity to help in the healing journey for anyone seeking therapy. I have been licensed for 7 years and have experience treating individuals who have experienced trauma through work, childhood, or adulthood. I offer daytime availability to individuals who may work evenings, professionals, caregivers, or students.

Hi! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I have over 15 years of experience in a variety of settings such as hospitals, non-profit agencies, hospice care, and private practice. I received my master's degree from Case Western Reserve University. As someone who has engaged in therapy, I understand the importance of the client and therapist acting as allies in the healing journey. We have all of the tools we need within to evolve into a healthier and more fulfilled person. I will assist you by encouraging improvements in how you feel about your life and how you relate to others.

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. I fully understand that getting ourselves to therapy is, at times, not easy and sincerely appreciate every client that intentionally decides that they are ready to grow, heal, and evolve. I believe in the power of becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable so as to push ourselves to step outside of our comfort zones.

I am a licensed independent social worker, LISW. I have been practicing in the social work field for over 20 years. I have worked with many populations including, children, adults and older adults.

Hello! I AM ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR BOTH IN PERSON (IF YOU LIVE NEAR AKRON) and virtually in OH. I have been counseling for 13 years. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Ordained Minister and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety and/or psychological trauma, I want to help you. I have experience in many areas. I do NOT work with children under 18 at this time and I do NOT do couples counseling. Currently, I work with adults. I also run a Christian nonprofit for those without insurance. (Ask about this if you don't have insurance or have a low income.)

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you may be wondering what our work together would actually look like. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can better understand yourself, build practical skills, and work toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a primary approach. DBT is a skills-based, evidence-informed therapy that can help with managing intense emotions, navigating relationships, tolerating difficult situations, and responding to yourself and others with greater awareness and effectiveness. Depending on your goals, we may focus on any or all of the following: • Managing strong or overwhelming emotions • Building healthier relationships and boundaries • Increasing mindfulness and self-awareness • Tolerating distress without making situations worse • Strengthening self-compassion • Building a life aligned with your values Therapy works best when we approach it as a team. I’ll bring clinical knowledge, structure, support, and honest feedback; you bring your experiences, goals, questions, and willingness to practice new approaches. You can expect me to encourage and challenge you, when appropriate, and help you make sense of what you are experiencing. There may be times when therapy feels rough, particularly when we are looking at patterns you have used for a long time. We'll work through those moments together rather than expecting you to navigate them alone. You will also have opportunities to practice skills between sessions. The goal isn't just talking about what is happening in your life—it's to help you develop tools you can use in your life. The hope is over time, you leave therapy with a greater understanding of yourself, confidence in your ability to handle difficulties, and a sense that you can build a life worth living.

As we journey through life, we all come to a point where we struggle with adversities and we don't know where to start to find a solution. We also feel alone and as if no one will understand what we are going through. If you’re struggling to cope with life and feel you have nowhere else to turn, I can help you navigate these feelings and aid you in finding a path forward towards healing. Don't let your struggles become your identity. I challenge you take that first step with me. You are a beautiful soul who deserves the most out of your life. You also deserve to work with a therapist who values helping others succeed and gain greater awareness. I offer empathetic and personable individualized therapeutic services utilizing different theoretical orientations. You will have the opportunity to freely express yourself in a safe and non-judgmental space. To help you achieve your goals and make positive changes in your life, I will also gently challenge you to be receptive to new perspectives on your healing journey. If you are ready to find your pathway to healing, reach out to schedule an appointment today!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will. From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas? The duality of life. Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress. My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.

I work with adults age 20 and over, and people often describe me as accepting, empathetic, and real — with a sense of humor that helps therapy feel approachable and genuine. My goal is to create a space where you feel both supported and challenged as you work toward your goals. My approach blends humor, honesty, and evidence-based strategies to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns (like cognitive distortions) and promote self-acceptance. Whether you’re hoping to manage stress, improve relationships, or reconnect with your sense of worth, I offer a safe, affirming space to do meaningful work — and maybe even share a laugh along the way. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. If something here resonates with you, send me a message — I’d be happy to talk about how we can work together.

I’m a laid-back, compassionate, and supportive therapist who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can truly be yourself.

I works with people from all walks of life including children, couples, and adults.
