Barbara Thomas

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Greetings, my name is Barbara Thomas. Maybe stress won’t let up, anxiety keeps you on edge, grief hasn’t had room to breathe, or you’re ready to change your relationship with alcohol or drugs. Whatever it is, I’m here to help you find your balance again. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Cleveland State University and my Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University, with a Business Administration focus. I’ve worked in home-based services, hospitals, residential programs, and virtual settings. There I’ve supported children, teens, adults, and older adults through addiction, homelessness, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, family and relationship challenges, and major life transitions. That range has taught me that no two journeys look the same, and that everyone deserves a space where they feel respected and heard.

Patricia Grady

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hello, I'm Valerie!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana and Ohio with a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves.

​I founded Wild Living Therapy not only because of my deep love for wildlife and nature but also because I believe we all carry untamed, misunderstood aspects of ourselves—parts that may feel "too wild" or difficult to accept. My goal is to create a space where you can honor these parts, step into your power, and recognize your worth.

You're not broken—you are whole. Let’s navigate this journey together.
