I've been in practice for 25 years. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I specialize in helping individuals with a variety of issues, including depression and anxeity.
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.
I have found therapy to be the place for the client and the counselor to laugh, cry, decide, and embrace the sacred space of change and acceptance in one’s life. I have served in pastoral ministry for eighteen years along with five years as a clinical counselor. I feel that I bring a pastor’s heart of empathy, patience, and compassion into my therapeutic work. I do enjoy serving clients with varied needs and of all faiths.
Hello! I work with adults who are in a season of growth, transition, or self-discovery and who may feel burned out, stuck, or unsure of themselves despite being capable and insightful.
My path to becoming a counselor was shaped in part by my own life experiences. Navigating divorce, raising children in a divorced household, and working with a counselor myself helped me develop greater emotional awareness and better understand how our experiences can influence the way we think, feel, and respond to the world around us.
I have also learned to better understand my own experience with ADHD and how it has influenced different areas of my life. ADHD is part of my experience, but it does not define who I am. That journey has reinforced my belief that understanding ourselves including our experiences, strengths, challenges, and differences can help us grow without reducing who we are to a diagnosis or label.
These experiences contributed to my decision to become a counselor and helped shape my passion for supporting people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, relationships, and major life transitions.
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.
I have been a clinician for over 25 years, work with clients to try to figure out what is needed now and am willing to do that with you
Are you in a place where you would like to increase growth, change or wellness in your life? Do you want to identify and understand patterns that continue to happen and make you feel “stuck”? Are you interested in enhancing communication skills, developing stronger coping mechanisms, or processing a difficult time in your life? I'm a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio with experience working with diverse populations and with various mental health issues. I am passionate about helping people gain insight and a sense of empowerment as they navigate transitions and challenges inherent in life. In therapy, I create a safe and open space for you to deepen your awareness of yourself and others so that we can begin to explore the way the stories we tell ourselves impact our mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
I have experience working with adults(18+) families and couples treating a number of concerns including navigating anxiety and depression, addictions, relationship concerns, phase of life issues and changes, stress management, community violence, domestic violence and healing from trauma and codependency. My experience also includes treating substance use disorders, including relapse prevention, treatment diagnosis/education and working with families on psychoeducation and mending relationships. I will work to help you expertly navigate your challenges such as processing difficult emotions, learning healthy coping skills, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself, enhancing your self-esteem, and building satisfying relationships.
I believe in a practical, strengths-based method of treatment. My approach is compassionate, honest, and genuine. I use a strengths-based approach with a focus on overall wellness using cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused techniques and schema therapy techniques to encourage, empower and collaborate with you to assist you in regaining resiliency, to begin working together towards positive change. I would describe my approach as warm, solution-focused, and client centered. You are the expert on You! My goal is to help you heal through a mindful process for a deeper awareness of self and begin to establish new patterns of behavior to help you achieve a greater well-being. Together, we can identify your negative thought patterns, improve emotional regulation and self-awareness while using the strengths we will identify throughout the counseling process. I look forward to working with you!
Hello, I love working with clients that are motivated to work on improving themselves. I seek to empower each client in a safe environment where their expertise on themselves is honored. I work to bring energy and fun to the therapeutic process.
Hi! I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner offering comprehensive psychiatric care across Florida and Ohio. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with lifestyle medicine principles backed by modern science. I specialize in ADHD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and addiction. I believe you deserve to feel like yourself again, and I'm here to help make that possible.
(For patients located in Ohio, I do not currently prescribe Schedule II controlled medications.)
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with teens (12+) and adults who want down-to-earth, practical help for worry, low mood, poor sleep, and low energy. People come to me when anxiety, panic, persistent sadness, or sleep problems that are starting to get in the way of daily life, work, school, or relationships — or when past treatments didn’t help enough or caused unwanted side effects. I treat anxiety (including panic and OCD), depression, bipolar mood instability, psychosis when medication management is needed, insomnia, and struggles with motivation and energy.
Hello and Welcome! If you are seeking results, you have come to the right place! I am Heidi Ross, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and Licensed Professional Clinical Candidate in the state of Colorado.
A little about me. I received my Bachelor of Psychology in 2000 and my Master of Education in Community Counseling in 2002 from the University of Akron. For 9 years, I provided therapeutic counseling services to children and adults in outpatient, home-based, and school-based settings. For the past 11 years, I have provided outpatient mental health therapy to individuals, couples, and families of all ages, in person and via telehealth, in a private practice setting.
I am a very diverse therapist who feels it is very important to meet clients where they are at. I have an open-door policy regarding client population. We are all in this life together and may need assistance to get through! I provide high-quality care to older teens, adults, and couples in need through the convenience of telehealth. “It is my mission to help others help themselves, and to help them get through life’s obstacles!"
Clients should know that I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every session. I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, people managing anxiety or depression, and those navigating major life transitions. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning I value your voice in the process and tailor our work together to your unique goals.
I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can be fully yourself without judgment. My role is to listen, guide, and equip you with tools that promote resilience, self-awareness, and growth. I also understand the importance of balancing mental health with real-life challenges like school, work, and relationships, and I integrate practical strategies to help you thrive in each area.
Most importantly, I want clients to know that they are not alone. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on both healing and building the confidence to move forward.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cleveland
Searching for therapists in Cleveland starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches your needs. Cleveland therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach align with what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
Cleveland offers a broad range of therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby communities, from downtown and Ohio City to Lakewood, Tremont, and surrounding areas. Your best fit may depend on more than location. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near work or home, or virtual therapy that fits more easily around your schedule. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, care approach, and what to expect in a first session.
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 care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Cleveland, review bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
