I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.
A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.

Specializing in relationship issues, addiction, trauma, PTSD, and LGBTQ+
am a professional clinical counselor, licensed in Ohio, with over 29 years of experience working with adults, children, and families. I have worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, gender issues, addictions, family systems, marital/relationship or career challenges, trauma, and ADHD. My approach combines CBT, cognitive-behavioral therapy, Gottman Therapy, DBT, and trauma-focused CBT interventions.
You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.
My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.
Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!
My ideal client is someone who is open to the life-changing, transformative solutions that modern psychiatry and mental health can offer. My practice is virtual by design, meeting clients on their terms, during non-traditional hours when they have time to focus on themselves and their needs.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Independence
Finding therapists in Independence starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns like yours. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Independence, local in-person openings may be more limited than in nearby Cleveland, Brecksville, or Seven Hills. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping access to Ohio-licensed therapists who fit your schedule. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Independence can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you find a fit.
