Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Independence, OH

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a passion for helping couples, families, and individuals, especially teens and women, navigate emotional pain, trauma, and identity challenges with clarity and compassion. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed and holistic approach, recognizing the deep connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and have experience working with adolescents and adults in both individual and group settings. I specialize in supporting clients struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational difficulties. I also integrate evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused interventions, and practical coping strategies to help clients build emotional awareness, stability, and resilience.

In addition to clinical work, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals rediscover their sense of identity, purpose, and inner strength. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow at their own pace.

Welcome! I’m Dr. Clarence Chapman, a licensed professional clinical counselor, clinical supervisor, and Christian therapist. My approach to counseling is compassionate, practical, and direct. I believe therapy should be a place where you can speak honestly without judgment while also developing tools that help create meaningful change outside of the therapy room.

I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, addiction and substance use concerns, pornography or problematic sexual behaviors, men’s issues, anger, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I am also EMDR trained and enjoy helping clients understand how past experiences can continue to influence their emotions, relationships, and behaviors today.

As a Christian therapist, I welcome clients who want faith, Scripture, and biblical principles incorporated into counseling. Faith integration is always based on the individual client’s preferences and goals.

I am also a U.S. military veteran and value the opportunity to work with veterans and others who may appreciate a therapist who understands aspects of military culture and service.

My current practice is focused on individual counseling, and I am not currently accepting clients for couples counseling. Whether you are trying to heal from the past, overcome an addictive pattern, strengthen relationships, or simply feel more like yourself again, my goal is to help you develop greater understanding, practical skills, and a clear path forward.

Are you tired of what feels like the "same old" therapy?

Hi, I’m Michael Aluvieve, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) providing telehealth therapy for adults across Ohio. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, and also work with stress, PTSD, and life transitions.

My approach is both professional and personal. After being accepted to Berklee College of Music, my own experience with mental health got in the way. Now I'm passionate about helping others that struggle with their mental health. Mental health issues aren't just a clinical notion to me, I am familiar with how burdensome and painful they can be.
