Hola. Bem-vinda! I am originally from Brazil and have been living in the United States for 40 years which means I understand, deeply, what it means to carry more than one world inside you. I hold a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from John Carroll University and have been in private practice since 2010. In that time, I have had the privilege of working with adults from their twenties through their nineties, walking alongside them through anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and grief and loss. I conduct sessions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, whichever language lets you speak most honestly.

I started my social work journey at an in-patient adult hospital, then moved to intensive community based therapy with children before moving to to my work in private practice. Prior to that, I managed Waffle Houses all over Columbus and served in the US Air Force.

I am a doctorate level therapist and supervisor (LPCC-S) with over 30 years behavioral health experience supporting children, adults, and the elderly. I specialize in guiding individuals through grief and loss, providing a compassionate space to process difficult life transitions. My extensive background working with traumatized children allows me to bring a uniquely insightful and gentle perspective to adults healing from trauma.

I’ve been a social worker for 4 years and have extensive experience assisting teens, adults, and families. I offer a collaborative approach to therapy and will closely work with you to attain your goals. I will offer a non judgmental and open space with an empathetic listening ear. I also enjoy being outdoors, I think fresh air can change a lot!

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!"

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Forbes and I go by Libby. First, I want to say, you are so brave to take this step to take care of you! Thank you! You matter, you qualify, and you are worthy!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). I have spent 12 years in home-based work serving high conflict/high risk individuals and families utilizing the Functional Family Therapy model.

My philosophy is, “If we each are better then that is better, and we then are all better.” I have always embraced and enjoyed helping others. I work to meet you right where you are. From there, we work together to explore where you want to go.

I have been licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 2004 and have held a supervision designation since 2015. I have also held a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor with a supervision/training designation license since 2018. I have maintained a private counseling practice in Chillicothe since 2000 and I continue to work with individuals and families in that capacity. I have dedicated my career to helping others and to working with the community to ensure the well-being of families and children.

My communication style

My communication tone or approach tends to be direct but laid back. We are in session to work together not have me tell you what to do or where you need to go

I practice through a holistic lens and fully believe in the mind-body-spirit connection. In addition to prescribing appropriate psychiatric medications, my style also incorporates alternative medicine. I seek to treat the whole, individual person rather than just a specific diagnosis.

Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

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.

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.
