Family dynamics can be one of the biggest challenges we face, and one of the most difficult things in our lives to manage. Relationships are hard, both with partners and with children. Do you find that your children sometimes feel like more of a burden than a joy? Are you finding your child's behaviors challenging or unmanageable? Maybe something is going on with your child that is more than "just a phase." Is parenting with your partner often stressful? Do you feel like you're not being heard and your relationship is unsatisfying? If you find that you are overwhelmed or consistently frustrated, maybe you need some support.
I have 15 years of clinical experience working with parents, children and families. I work with families to identify priorities and focus on the goals that will make everyone’s lives more enjoyable and fulfilling. I use Family Systems Therapy and Child-Parent Psychotherapy to support building positive connections between couples, parents and children.
I can help you by offering parenting support and strategies that will help make positive and lasting changes for you and your family. If you’re concerned about your relationship with your partner or your child’s behaviors, call for a free consultation. There are great opportunities for growth and change, and things CAN get better!

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. Partnering with LGBTQIA, Prescribers, and Recovery supports to help patients connect with care for their healthiest self.

My name is Jeannine Taylor. I earned a Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Doctoral Degree from Kent State University. I also am Assistant Professor of Family & Community Medicine at Northeast Ohio College of Medicine. I enjoy helping people balance work and family; navigate the challenges before, during and after divorce; and cope with changes associated with midlife and later life. I also help clients make career decisions and establish educational goals.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW COUPLES AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2026; HOWEVER, I AM ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS.
I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.
Life's challenges bring us to our knees. A Clinical Counselor helps. 36+ years of work with courts, hospitals & schools helps. "Been there, ... I get it". In my early 20’s, while working F/T at UC, I learned Clinical Counseling (diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorders) while completing my Doctorate in my 20’s at UD. Clinically trained by UC (adults) and CCHMC (ages 0-18). Specially trained in Trauma, DBT, EMDR and law. Supreme Court of Ohio approved PC, GAL and Mediator (starting in ‘89 with Airing Institute - Beech Acres, Co-led Divorce Mediation). Collaborative Law FRS. ADHD Assessment & Accommodations Plans.
With 20 years of experience, I have moved past clinical jargon to focus on what actually works: true empathy and genuine human connection. My practice is built on real-world experience, and I am dedicated to helping people navigate life with clarity and strength.
I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I also focus on women’s issues, professional burnout, navigating major life transitions, and the art of setting healthy boundaries. I provide a professional, evidence-based approach that remains focused on you as a person.

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Cleveland
Searching for family therapists in Cleveland starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships within a family, not just one person. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, and major life changes. As you compare Cleveland therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties match what your family wants to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or other relational methods.
In a mid-sized city like Cleveland, you may find a range of in-person offices across nearby neighborhoods and suburbs, along with virtual appointments that expand your options. For family therapy in Cleveland, it helps to ask how sessions are structured. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, couples, or one family member at a time. Also consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist works with family dynamics and what to expect.
Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists in Cleveland, Ohio, choose between virtual and in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
