Hello, I am a dual certified Nurse Practitioner with board certifications in Women's health and Psychiatric Mental health. I work with women, moms, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the emotional ups and downs that come with stress, life changes, or motherhood. Many of my clients feel misunderstood, easily triggered, or frustrated with how their emotions are affecting their relationships, focus, or daily life.
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.
As a native Cincinnatian, proud graduate of the University of Cincinnati and an illustrious member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., I embody the values of service.
My journey in the field began with impactful experiences at St. Joseph Orphanage-Altercrest. This foundational training instilled the importance of addressing complex issues with empathy, understanding, and a holistic approach.
I'm experienced in diverse settings, and offer effective support and counseling.
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'm Aimée! I have over 30 years of experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor & supervisor in numerous settings throughout Ohio. I enjoy helping those in middle school through adulthood to navigate the challenges life brings. I have experience working with those who are struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or are going through life transitions (school, college, divorce, death and more).
I help clients understand how their experiences shape their present struggles and help build internal safety, self-understanding, and resilience.
My work is especially suited for individuals who have experienced trauma and feel its effects in their daily lives. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or others, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Trauma can leave people feeling alone, misunderstood, invisible, or unsafe—even within their own bodies and minds.
I often work with clients navigating complex trauma, trauma-related addiction, abuse specializing in DV/IPV, neurodivergent and identity struggles, anxiety, and depression. Many are individuals who have spent years surviving difficult experiences and are now seeking a deeper level of healing, understanding, and stability.
Clients who tend to benefit most from working with me are those who want more than symptom relief—they want to understand themselves more deeply and build a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and connected. Their goals often include feeling safer in their own bodies, reducing emotional reactivity and overwhelm, improving relationships, and developing a stronger sense of identity and self-trust.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care.
Hello! Thank you for being here. Reaching out for therapy is incredibly brave but can also be a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping I can help you see your strength and worth while we navigate all the things life throws our way.
I’m Kathy and I have been a social worker for 23 years now. I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for the last 16 years of that time. For the majority of my profession, I have been working in the hospital setting, helping patients find solutions to a wide range of needs. I have seen patients struggle in many different ways in life and helping them has also helped me grow as a social worker.
I am passionate about helping people realize they are capable of more than they think. Everyone deserves to see their worth and I would love to work with you to help you see yours.
Hi, I am Jessi, and I believe that therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up exactly as they are while working towards meaningful change.
I work with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, life stressors, navigating relationships, self-esteem issues, trauma processing and PTSD, and emotional overwhelm. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can be a place to slow down, process, and grow.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable, so I'm glad you are here! I look forward to helping you move towards greater clarity, confidence, and balance.
My path to psychiatry began with a simple observation: mental health needs are everywhere, yet not enough people have access to care. After five years as a family nurse practitioner, I made the move to psychiatric care because I wanted to be part of the solution. I bring a holistic perspective to every session, drawing on years of primary care experience to understand how physical and mental health are connected in each person. I am board certified and see patients virtually in Ohio. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I am here to work alongside you toward real, lasting change.
It takes real courage to decide you want something to change. Over 28 years, across military
installations, shelters, and community agencies, I have watched people discover capacities
for growth they did not know they had. I believe relationships are the engine of that change:
our brains and bodies are wired for connection, and healing happens in relationship. I create
a space of safety, respect, and authenticity, where you bring the expertise of your own life
and story, and I bring my clinical experience to support the process. I would be honored to
work alongside you.
Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I have always been very passionate about mental health and helping others navigate difficult situations in their lives. After getting my bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University and my master's degree from the University of Cincinnati, I have been practicing for the past 8 years in community mental health. My main focus is helping kids and young adults with anxiety and depression.
