I have nearly 30 years of experience in private practice, and I bring a warm, down-to-earth style to the work I do with adults and older adults. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's degree in Counseling Education from Ohio University, and I have spent my career helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life stressors, and women's issues. Many of the clients I work with are used to being the one everyone else counts on, even when their own needs have gone unheard. My goal is to offer practical, compassionate support that helps you feel more steady, understood, and confident as you move through whatever season of life you are facing.

As a counselor, former counselor educator, and advocate, I bring decades of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and communities. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, life transitions, employment concerns, disability issues, self-esteem challenges, trauma, and issues related to identity, culture, and faith. I am particularly passionate about supporting African American individuals and families while creating an affirming environment for people from all backgrounds.

I am a PhD Psychologist with over 50 years of experience helping professional adults and caregivers navigate complex life transitions. My background as a counselor, teacher, and consultant allows me to offer a broad, practical perspective on personal growth and organizational change. I specialize in supporting those who feel "stuck" or overwhelmed—whether due to career shifts, relationship strain, or the weight of caregiving—helping them move toward a life that feels grounded, clear, and aligned.

I have a PhD in Psychology, and completed a two year post-doctoral fellowship in Neuropsychology. I have expanded my practice to include work in other areas such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic and complex -post traumatic stress disorder. I have also worked extensively with children and adults with various physical/medical and developmental disorders.

Hello, I am Darlene Neal, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 35 years of experience. My clinical work has been devoted to Depression, Anxiety, Grief and Life Transitions.

Feeling comfortable in our shoes is essential to a creative and self-fulfilling journey and

life. The struggle to reach out for support can be an obstacle that leads to isolation,

loneliness, anxiety, and depression and is often the first and most challenging step to

take. I congratulate you on your courage and willingness to imagine and hope for

changes that will help you be more comfortable in the shoes that you wear!

I have worked as a mental health practitioner for over 40 years and have encountered

many of the challenges that people face in their daily lives. Along the way, I have

discovered my own creative needs and now walk as a transgender therapist willing to

join you as a partner on a path to self-discovery. Giving voice to our hopes, dreams,

and desires is often an essential part of that journey, and I would be glad to join you as

a partner in your self-discovery and growth.

I am Earlene Johnson, a licensed Independent Social Worker in the state of Ohio with a strong passion for Human Services and helping individuals create meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

Hello! I'm Rashawna Edwards, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 25 years of nursing experience. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. My approach combines medication management, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies to help clients heal, build resilience, and achieve lasting emotional wellness. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

"Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going." I'm an LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience, and I offer telehealth therapy to adults throughout Ohio. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, men's mental health, PTSD, and life transitions — but most of the people I work with don't arrive with a clean diagnosis. They arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they've been managing too much for too long.I work with adults and seniors who are done feeling like they have to figure everything out alone. My approach is direct and warm — I'm not going to sit in silence waiting for you to lead. We work together. I use DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based techniques, but in practice that means building skills that actually fit your life, not homework from a textbook.I'm particularly well-suited to working with men who've been skeptical about therapy, adults navigating ADHD later in life, and anyone carrying grief they haven't had space to process. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before your first session so you can decide if we're a good fit.
