Hello and welcome! Thank you for considering me as part of your mental health journey.
My name is Jennifer Adams, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I also hold an additional certification in Trauma-Responsive Care. Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have shaped my compassionate, individualized approach to therapy, allowing me to meet each client where they are.
I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard. As your therapist, my goal is to create an environment that fosters collaboration with you to build on your strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, or a major life transition, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Hello! Thank you for being here. Reaching out for therapy is incredibly brave but can also be a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping I can help you see your strength and worth while we navigate all the things life throws our way.
I’m Kathy and I have been a social worker for 23 years now. I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for the last 16 years of that time. For the majority of my profession, I have been working in the hospital setting, helping patients find solutions to a wide range of needs. I have seen patients struggle in many different ways in life and helping them has also helped me grow as a social worker.
I am passionate about helping people realize they are capable of more than they think. Everyone deserves to see their worth and I would love to work with you to help you see yours.
Randy Carmack, LISW, LICDC
Compassionate, Solution-Focused Therapy for Your Authentic Self
Hello! I’m Randy Carmack, a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor. Since 2014, I have been dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and unlock their full potential.
My therapeutic philosophy bridges two essential truths: I am an expert in the process of change, and you are the expert in your own life
I look forward to partnering with you to achieve the growth and greatness you desire for yourself.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I founded Full Circle Mental Health LLC on a simple belief: therapy should fit your life, not the other way around. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m here to provide a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can truly be yourself.
While I work with a wide range of life challenges, I specialize in areas that can feel particularly heavy, complex, or isolating to navigate alone:
• Trauma & PTSD: If you are an adult who is tired of just getting by and you feel ready to go deeper than surface-level coping, we can work together to heal the root of your pain and help you reclaim your peace.
• Couples, Premarital & Blended Family Counseling: Whether you are dating, engaged, navigating the day-to-day friction of a long-term partnership, or working through the unique complexities of merging households and building a blended family, I help couples build strong foundations, improve communication, and deepen connection.
• Religious Deconstruction & Faith Transitions: If you are questioning, shifting away from, or leaving a belief system you built your life around, I offer a safe space to unpack the complex, often lonely emotions that come with rewriting your story.
As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio, I earned my degrees at Ohio Dominican University and Walden University. I know that every person's story is unique, which is why I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My toolkit includes advanced, specialized training in the Gottman Method, Bowen Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Focused CBT.
No matter where you are on your journey, we will work together to find a path forward that feels authentic and manageable for you. Whenever you’re ready, reach out—I’d love to connect.
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.
