Hello. Thank you for taking the time to invest in your healing and growth today. Whether you’re a newcomer to therapy/counseling or an experienced client, I feel it’s a brave and wonderful thing to do the work of mental-emotional healing. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, career challenges, LGBTQ+ related issues, grief and loss and trauma disorder such as PTSD.
Hello! I'm a biracial-Black independent Social Worker (LISW) located in Columbus, Ohio. With over 15 years in the mental health field, I aim to provide a supportive, empathetic, and down-to-earth space for you to explore what's present.
Healing begins with being seen. In a world where isolation, grief, and burnout are all too common, I offer a space grounded in presence, trust, and empathy, where all parts of you are welcome. Whether you’re processing the effects of early neglect, trauma, or the chronic weight of being “the strong one,” this is a space where your needs are no longer sidelined. Clients often describe our work together as grounding, collaborative, and deeply human. I aim to meet you right where you are, with empathy.
Allison L Schulte, LSCSW, is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker who offers therapeutic services to adults, adolescents, and children experiencing depression, anxiety, cognitive impairments such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, personality disorders, grief and loss, significant stress, relationship difficulties, and other social or emotional concerns. She holds both undergraduate and master’s degrees in social work from Wichita State University.
Maybe your mind won't slow down at night, or you're running on empty and can't remember the last time you felt like yourself. Maybe you've tried therapy before and it just didn't click. Whether this is your first time reaching out or you're still looking for the right fit, you're welcome here. I'm Adrianne, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I especially love working with women and teens. I often help people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, and the lasting effects of trauma. I also support clients through grief, life after having a baby, relationship and family stress, and questions about identity, including for LGBTQ+ clients. I earned my Master of Social Work from Ohio University and have worked with teens and adults in schools, outpatient behavioral health, and domestic violence programs.
My name is Anne (Annie) Camerino, and I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio and South Carolina. For over eight years now I've been helping healthcare providers, Millennials, and Gen Zers to better manage burnout, stress, and major life transitions. One thing I've learned throughout my career is how important it is to bring my authenticity to the counseling chair. I'm a real person (I swear) who is as beautifully flawed, and challenged in this life-as you. Along with authenticity, curiosity and a sense of humor-I'll provide evidence-based skills, practical tools, and reminders that “boundaries” aren't just a buzzword. In addition to treating anxiety, panic, and depression, I enjoy (and have had substantial success) working with clients who are interested in improving their self-esteem, body image, people-pleasing tendencies, values-identification, skin-picking behaviors, avoidance behaviors, communication skills, intimacy, and intrusive thoughts. If you think we might be a good fit but have a booking or treatment-related questions-please don't hesitate to call or text me directly at (216)435-1249. Please allow up to 48 business hours for a response, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Licensed Counselor & Certified Coach with lived experience as Ohio Hall of Fame DI basketball player & coach, espn color analyst, C-level corporate executive, non-profit leader, cancer survivor, later in life adoptive parent, and member of multi-racial family.
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.
