My approach to create a space with my clients to have a more personally tailored approach utilizing a wellness approach!

Thriving instead of just surviving.

Hey, I'm Phil! I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and free to show up as yourself. I support adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, identity, and challenges with food, body image, and self-worth. I'm passionate about LGBTQ+ affirming care and helping people build a healthier relationship with themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We'll explore what's beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools that fit your life. Therapy doesn't have to feel like a clinical interrogation. You can expect genuine conversation, curiosity, and support as we work toward meaningful change together.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based psychiatric care through secure telehealth services. I am licensed in Ohio and board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and I work with adolescents and adults seeking accessible, professional mental health care.

With over 20 years of healthcare experience, I specialize in psychiatric medication management and the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD (treatment with non-stimulant medication), bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, mood disorders and related conditions.

My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, emphasizing shared decision-making, careful assessment, and individualized treatment planning.

Telehealth allows me to provide consistent, high-quality care while reducing common barriers such as travel, long wait times, and scheduling challenges. I take time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and ensure patients feel informed and supported throughout their care.

I am committed to creating a respectful, judgment-free environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and goals. Whether you are new to mental health treatment or continuing care, I focus on improving symptoms, supporting long-term stability, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Hey , I'm glad you're here. Reaching out is the hardest part, and it takes real courage to take that first step.

I'm Krista, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), and I work with adults who are dealing with depression, trauma, big life changes,and relationship challenges. Basically, if life has been feeling heavy lately, that's exactly the kind of thing I help people work through.

Hi hi, I’m Ajalaa!

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with adults and older teens (17+) navigating the very real, sometimes messy parts of life — relationships, identity, big life changes, chronic illness, anxiety, feeling stuck, or those “I have no idea what I’m doing right now” seasons.

If the idea of therapy feels a little awkward or intimidating, you’re definitely not alone. You don’t need to walk into my office with the perfect words, a list of goals, or even know exactly what’s bothering you. Just walk in as you, and we can figure the rest out together.... (that's my favorite part)!

My style is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and very much human. Therapy with me isn’t about sitting across from someone who just nods and asks, “And how does that make you feel?” for 50 minutes. We’ll talk, laugh when it’s appropriate, sit with the hard stuff when we need to, and work together to actually understand what’s going on beneath the surface.
