My name is Jeannine Taylor. I earned a Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Doctoral Degree from Kent State University. I also am Assistant Professor of Family & Community Medicine at Northeast Ohio College of Medicine. I enjoy helping people balance work and family; navigate the challenges before, during and after divorce; and cope with changes associated with midlife and later life. I also help clients make career decisions and establish educational goals.

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW COUPLES AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2026; HOWEVER, I AM ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS.

Evidence-Based Practices are great Words. Real life takes adaptation, acceptance, and attunement. Most people come to therapy not out of brokenness, but because they are stuck on the Map of Life, in a cul-de-sac. Patti is able to meet online, or in person in Slavic Village and Barnesville.

Hello, and welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio with 15 years of experience. I currently work with individuals ages 15 and over, but much of my recent focus has been on working with women dealing with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I'm Laura Stevenson, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) providing telehealth therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors across Ohio. I earned my MSW from Case Western Reserve University and specialize in anxiety, depression, family issues, and chronic conditions. Using CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Strategic Family Therapy, I help clients build practical skills and lasting resilience — wherever they are in their journey.

I'm happy you are here. I work with women and new parents who are struggling with the transition to pregnancy or parenting, and want to feel more enjoyment and confidence in their new identity and relationships. You've made it this far, which means that you want things to feel different. By working together, we can find ways to better balance your life.

I have been a nurse since 2009 and bring years of clinical experience and a deep commitment to healing and long-term wellness. My personal experiences—including overcoming challenges, navigating trauma, raising a family, and being a grandparent—have shaped my empathy and ability to connect with patients from diverse backgrounds.

My goal is to empower patients with the knowledge, support, and tools they need to build resilience, improve their mental health, and enhance their overall quality of life while honoring each individual’s unique story. You are not placed in a box; individualized treatment plans
