Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Ohio covered by Cigna

Hi! I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner offering comprehensive psychiatric care across Florida and Ohio. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with lifestyle medicine principles backed by modern science. I specialize in ADHD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and addiction. I believe you deserve to feel like yourself again, and I'm here to help make that possible.

(For patients located in Ohio, I do not currently prescribe Schedule II controlled medications.)

Hello Everyone! I am licensed counselor based out of Ohio, but I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA. I currently hold a license in Ohio and Pennsylvania. I received my Master’s Degree from Youngstown State University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017. I help adults and teenagers overcome issues with Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Addictions in order to become the best versions of themselves. I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.

Growing up in Africa as part of a large family with limited resources, I learned the values of resilience, perseverance, and community. My journey was not without challenges. I struggled with confidence, questioned my worth, and often felt unseen and ignored . Those experiences shaped my understanding of how deeply people need to feel valued, understood, and supported. Today, in my work as a therapist, I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. Every person carries a unique story and deserves the opportunity to have their story honored with dignity, curiosity, and compassion.

I am an experienced therapist, licensed in Maryland, Ohio, Missouri, and Kansas. I will be your partner and tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have a master’s degree from the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. I have been described as supportive, direct, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them.

Life doesn't have to feel this difficult. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or a major life transition, you don't have to face it alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, gain perspective, and begin creating meaningful change.

Hello, my name is Patty and I am here to remind you that;

You are not your struggles.

Too often, people begin to define themselves by their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, painful experiences, or difficult circumstances. While these challenges are real and deserve attention, they do not define who you are.

I understand that life's journey can include loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions. Yet,.I believe these experiences can also reveal resilience, wisdom, and strengths that may have previously gone unrecognized. Our experiences help shape our stories, but they do not determine how the story ends.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor in Ohio with experience supporting children, teens, and adults through challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, trauma, and life transitions. I aim to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

As a licensed therapist, I believe prioritizing your mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I know that reaching out for help is difficult, and you are taking the first steps. I’ve been practicing for 25 years and my main focus to female clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression.

You might feel alone in this struggle but you don’t have to be. My work, which has been shaped by my own experiences of suffering and clinical training, is more than a career, it is a calling. I help people move from surviving to living with intention, calm, and confidence.

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a master’s in clinical social work. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety disorders with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. I use this therapy because I’ve seen it help people begin living the lives that they want to live without fear being the driving force.

I also have a background in working with parents who are experiencing challenging situations. Whenever I work with children, I work with the caregivers as well in order to improve family unity and create lasting change.

I am very trauma-aware in that I recognize the role that past experiences have had in shaping who we are today. My philosophy is that these experiences don’t have to hold us back, but that healing is a journey to be embraced.

I’m Kendra Compton, a dedicated social worker with over 30 years of experience empowering individuals and families to thrive. My journey began with a heartfelt desire to make a positive impact in the lives of children and adults alike. Over the decades, I’ve honed my skills as a relationship-oriented therapist who truly believes in the healing power of genuine human connection. I blend evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a warm, compassionate style. My approach is always:

• Person-Centered – I meet each client where they are, honoring their unique strengths and experiences.
• Relationship-Focused – I believe trust and rapport lay the groundwork for meaningful change.
• Strengths-Based – I highlight what’s working well and build upon those successes.

Helping others bring me endless inspiration. Their courage, curiosity, and capacity for joy remind me daily why I chose this path. I grew up in a family of athletes and am an avid sports fan—whether participating, cheering from the sidelines (mostly my son) or watching a game on TV, I see sports as a powerful metaphor for teamwork, perseverance and personal growth. These values naturally weave into my therapeutic style, encouraging clients to set goals, lean on their support systems, and celebrate every milestone.

If you’re looking for a therapist who listens deeply, cares wholeheartedly, and partners with you every step of the way, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to help you and your family write the next chapter of your story—one defined by resilience, hope, and stronger connections.

Feel free to reach out, and let’s start this journey toward healing and growth together.
