Hello, I’m Grace Aidoo, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based care across the lifespan. My approach is holistic, empathetic, and collaborative, focusing on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
I earned my Master of Science in Advanced Midwifery Practice from Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom and completed my Post-Master’s PMHNP certificate at Walden University. With a background in nursing, maternal and child health, and mental wellness, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to my sessions.
I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and perinatal mental health challenges. My goal is to help clients find balance, clarity, and empowerment through a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic partnership.
Whether you are navigating life transitions, emotional distress, or seeking to improve your overall mental well-being, I am here to walk alongside you with empathy and respect. Together, we will create a personalized plan that promotes healing and sustainable wellness.

I consider myself the Dolly Parton of mental wellness: all humans are welcome, being clear is kind, and, like Dolly, sometimes we all need a little help navigating life from 9-to-5. I provide therapy in Ohio and Kentucky, and I also offer holistic wellness coaching and integrative psychedelic support to help you explore growth from multiple angles. In our sessions, I tailor the process to fit you—addressing experiences, patterns, or distortions that might leave your cup of ambition dry. With a transparent, solution-focused approach, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change that goes beyond our 50 minutes.

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.
