Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Cincinnati, OH covered by Aetna

You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.

My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.

You don't have to be good at talking about feelings to start therapy.

I work with adults who may feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure what needs to change-but know they don't want to keep going the way they have been. I especially enjoy working with men navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, major life changes, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together.

I have 10 years of experience working in mental health. My style is warm, holistic and collaborative with plenty of humor along the way. Therapy with me is a place to be honest about what isn't working, understand yourself better, and start making changes that actually fit your life.

Hello! I believe that healing is possible for everyone, no matter how difficult life may feel right now. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to work through life's challenges.

I take a compassionate and professional approach to therapy, combining evidence-based clinical practices with Christian principles when desired by the client. I view counseling as a collaborative process and am committed to helping individuals, couples, families, ministry leaders, and professionals develop the tools and insights needed to create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and restoration. My focus is not only on helping you overcome current challenges but also on equipping you with the skills and confidence needed to thrive moving forward.

I'm a warm, inquisitive and open minded soul, with a lifetime of challenging personal experiences. You are not alone and I would be honored to support you in your journey to peace, healing, and resolution.

You deserve support that meets you where you are. With nearly 7 years working alongside children and families, I bring an open, humorous, and affirming approach to every session. As a mother of three children with autism, I know firsthand how layered and demanding life can get. I am here to help you find your footing, and I would love to work through this with you. I have completed my undergraduate studies at Kent State, My graduate studies at Capella University where I did residency in Chicago and Atlanta. I have almost 7 years of experience in the field working in collaboration with ODJFS to help children and families. I live on a small hobby farm in Ohio and enjoy the outdoors.

If you are caught in a painful tug-of-war with your mother, you may feel like your only options are total compliance or total cutoff. You might find yourself asking, “Am I being too sensitive?” or “If I could just change how I respond, would things finally feel different?”

I work with adult daughters navigating the lasting effects of maternal emotional neglect, enmeshment, criticism, manipulation, and difficult family dynamics. You may have learned early in life to prioritize other people's emotions, keep the peace, or set aside your own needs—and now find yourself struggling with guilt, people-pleasing, boundaries, self-doubt, or relationships that leave you feeling emotionally exhausted.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.With over 12 years of experience in the counseling field, I specialize in helping clients slow down, feel heard, and safely make sense of what they've experienced. My goal is to provide a warm, affirming, and pressure-free space where we can slow down and make sense of what you've experienced and how it continues to affect you.

Whether you're trying to improve a relationship with your mother, create healthier boundaries, or determine what level of contact feels right for you, I won't tell you what decision you should make. Instead, we'll work together to develop the self-trust, emotional awareness, and resilience you need to make choices that are healthy and right for you.

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.
