Hi, my name is Dr. Deirdre Adduci and I believe that when two people work together, we can achieve great things and that together we can become a team that is able to assess and achieve your goals. Sometimes life can be difficult and it can be challenging, but I do believe that teamwork helps to improve our outlook and also to strategize ways to move forward. At times, people will tell me that they feel stuck, but often times this is merely because working alone we may not be able to see all of our options and possible solutions. I do believe that there are solutions that we haven’t even yet. We can do that together. I received my undergraduate education at The Ohio State University, where I studied criminology, my masters degree and counseling from Youngstown State University and my PhD from The University of Akron. I have my independent license in Counseling(LPCC-S),Marriage and Family Counseling (LIMFT), my independent license, my independent license in Chemical Dependency Counseling (LICDC-S) and a license and social work (LSW). I always tell my clients that I could not do what I do if I did not so passionately believe that counseling truly works. Your best thinking got you here looking at our profiles and I am really proud that you have step. I hope to work with you and become part of your team.
Do you desire healing from past events, struggling in life, overwhelmed and not feeling like you're reaching your potential? Every person is unique, and I honor that by emphasizing your God-given strengths and providing you with tools for success in life. You are the expert on your life, but sometimes having a supportive partner in exploring your life can help. If you're close to the Westerville, New Albany, and Lewis Center areas, I'd love to meet you in person. I can also see you online. This comes in handy with Ohio winter weather.
I believe all people are capable of change and growth, with the right support and encouragement. I'll be there to empower you to overcome growth barriers and be there to rejoice in your successes. I'm honored to be that collaborative partner. I invite you to reach out, take that first step towards wholeness in 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
Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Cleveland
Finding addiction therapists in Cleveland starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include help with alcohol use, substance use, nicotine dependence, gambling, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Cleveland has a strong mental health care community, with options across the city and nearby areas, but fit still depends on practical details. You may prefer an in-person office near work, home, or transit, while virtual appointments can make it easier to choose from more therapists across Ohio. Addiction support can also change over time, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental approach and experience with recovery that is not one-size-fits-all. Before booking, read bios for details about approach, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Addiction therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details. From there, you can compare fit, choose in-person or virtual care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
