LGBT therapists in Dayton, OH

Hi, I’m Sarah Hill, an LISW-S with an MSSA from Case Western Reserve University (2008). I work with college students, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and identity development. My style is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in CBT, trauma-informed, and strength-based approaches. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and ready to make meaningful change.

Hello, I am Sarah, a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. I received my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Akron, but I also have a M.A. from The Ohio State University in Comparative Studies, focusing on the body, trauma, and narrative. We are our stories, as well as how we re-create our stories!

I am a seasoned therapist of 30 years, and I learn something new with each individual I connect with. My goal is to address the issues of life we all face with grace, compassion and a little humor. I might not know all the answers... but together we will develop strategies to make a better life.

With 20 years of experience, I am a licensed therapist here to support you through life's ups and downs. I provide individual therapy in a safe and nonjudgmental environment, using evidence-based practices attuned to your specific needs. I believe that therapy will help you navigate current challenges -- as well as provide insight and skills that will continue to benefit you in the future, long after our sessions end.

20+ years helping youth, adults and families work through grief and trauma, restore relationships, and build healthier thought and behavior patterns. Specializing in helping clients in transition or facing a dilemma.

Hi! My name is Wendy Pugh. I graduated with a master's in social work from The Ohio State University, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I specialize in treating LGBTQIA issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.

I have been practicing as a therapist for 13 years, and have had a wide range of experience within that time. I have worked with at-risk youth in shelters, supported young adults and teens with mental health treatment after hospitalization, to now providing individual therapy in an outpatient setting. I earned my Master's in Social Work in 2014, and have been practicing with my LISW. I have mostly worked with mood disorders, like anxiety and depression, or with trauma (PTSD). As a lesbian with ADHD myself, I also specialize in neurodivergency and LGBT+ issues.
