Dr. Rachel Blain is a licensed clinical psychologist who offers individual psychotherapy in-person and online to clients located in Ohio. She specializes in treating adults recovering from the effects of past trauma/Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and those struggling with anxiety or difficulties navigating life stressors.
Hi, I am Jessi, and I believe that therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up exactly as they are while working towards meaningful change.
I work with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, life stressors, navigating relationships, self-esteem issues, trauma processing and PTSD, and emotional overwhelm. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can be a place to slow down, process, and grow.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable, so I'm glad you are here! I look forward to helping you move towards greater clarity, confidence, and balance.
My path to psychiatry began with a simple observation: mental health needs are everywhere, yet not enough people have access to care. After five years as a family nurse practitioner, I made the move to psychiatric care because I wanted to be part of the solution. I bring a holistic perspective to every session, drawing on years of primary care experience to understand how physical and mental health are connected in each person. I am board certified and see patients virtually in Ohio. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I am here to work alongside you toward real, lasting change.
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.
Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I have always been very passionate about mental health and helping others navigate difficult situations in their lives. After getting my bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University and my master's degree from the University of Cincinnati, I have been practicing for the past 8 years in community mental health. My main focus is helping kids and young adults with anxiety and depression.
Hello! My name is Laura. I am a licensed psychologist in Ohio. I received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Cleveland State University, as well as a Master of Arts from Cleveland State in clinical psychology. Through my training and postdoctoral work, I have worked in various clinical settings, including community mental health, hospital, college counseling center, jail and forensic outpatient, and private practice locations.
Hello! I’m Robyn, and I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you’ve found a safe, welcoming space to begin your journey. Whether you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or weighed down by life’s challenges, I’m here to support you with compassion, creativity, and a personalized approach to healing. This is a safe, affirming space. In today’s world, many of us are feeling the effects of an unpredictable political climate, economic instability, and ongoing societal change. These pressures can lead to stress, anxiety, burnout, and a sense of disconnection. Reaching out for help is a powerful act of self-care and resilience.
Hello, I'm Valerie. Whether you're new to therapy or looking for a fresh start with a new therapist, I'm here to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges. Together, we'll work to better understand what's holding you back, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.
I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) in the State of Ohio and a Certified Case Manager. I hold a bachelor degrees in Criminal Justice and Child and Family Studies, as well as a Master of Social Work. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we work toward meaningful, lasting change.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.
I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.
I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.
Over nine years ago my life changed. I lost a son to suicide due to unaddressed mental health needs. A system that was overwhelmed failed him. I returned to school to help close that gap and want to work with others to start their journey towards mental wellness. As someone who has experienced depression and anxiety, I understand the challenges faced.
"Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going." I'm an LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience, and I offer telehealth therapy to adults throughout Ohio. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, men's mental health, PTSD, and life transitions — but most of the people I work with don't arrive with a clean diagnosis. They arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they've been managing too much for too long.I work with adults and seniors who are done feeling like they have to figure everything out alone. My approach is direct and warm — I'm not going to sit in silence waiting for you to lead. We work together. I use DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based techniques, but in practice that means building skills that actually fit your life, not homework from a textbook.I'm particularly well-suited to working with men who've been skeptical about therapy, adults navigating ADHD later in life, and anyone carrying grief they haven't had space to process. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before your first session so you can decide if we're a good fit.
An experienced professional, I offer extensive experience in psychotherapy in a variety of areas. I am especially conversant in working with adolescents and seniors as well as adults.
I am a Licensed Independent Marriage & Family Therapist with over 5 years of experience working with clients in a variety of settings. I am experienced in working with clients who have diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relational stress.
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'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and harm reduction services for adolescents and adults in Ohio. My journey in community mental health has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge that I am eager to share with you.
