Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Lakewood, OH

Hello and Welcome! If you are seeking results, you have come to the right place! I am Heidi Ross, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and Licensed Professional Clinical Candidate in the state of Colorado.

A little about me. I received my Bachelor of Psychology in 2000 and my Master of Education in Community Counseling in 2002 from the University of Akron. For 9 years, I provided therapeutic counseling services to children and adults in outpatient, home-based, and school-based settings. For the past 11 years, I have provided outpatient mental health therapy to individuals, couples, and families of all ages, in person and via telehealth, in a private practice setting.

I am a very diverse therapist who feels it is very important to meet clients where they are at. I have an open-door policy regarding client population. We are all in this life together and may need assistance to get through! I provide high-quality care to older teens, adults, and couples in need through the convenience of telehealth. “It is my mission to help others help themselves, and to help them get through life’s obstacles!"

I have served OH and MI areas for over 2 decades. Once specializing in children, now I enjoy working with preteens, teens, and adults who can participate more actively in their treatment. I started specializing in trauma in 2016 after I completed extensive training.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Columbus, Ohio. I feel passionately about helping people find relief and become more comfortable being authentic.

Hi there, I'm Kora! As a licensed therapist with over 7 years of experience, I truly believe that prioritizing your mental health is the greatest gift you can give yourself. With a Master's in Clinical Social Work and a background in diverse clinical settings, I now focus on walking alongside those navigating heavy life transitions. From the complexities of motherhood and career shifts to the unique experiences of children of immigrant parents. My goal is to provide a soft place for you to land while you navigate change, grief, or personal growth. I'm so glad you're here, and I look forward to supporting you on this journey.

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years experience in the mental health field. I specialize in culturally-centered care. Prioritizing patient needs while providing collaborative treatment.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

I have worked in the field of mental health for 35 years and what I have learned is that everyone should to be treated with respect and dignity and also deserves to have a therapist who will partner with them to achieve the outcome they want.

I have been a nurse since 2009 and bring years of clinical experience and a deep commitment to healing and long-term wellness. My personal experiences—including overcoming challenges, navigating trauma, raising a family, and being a grandparent—have shaped my empathy and ability to connect with patients from diverse backgrounds.

My goal is to empower patients with the knowledge, support, and tools they need to build resilience, improve their mental health, and enhance their overall quality of life while honoring each individual’s unique story. You are not placed in a box; individualized treatment plans

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 5 years of experience treating patients in the outpatient and telehealth settings. I have experience treating patients throughout the lifespan but particularly enjoy treating women who often are too busy to take time to focus on their own mental health. I am very honest and direct with my patients and enjoy empowering them to help themselves. I am open-minded and love to listen to my patients tell me their story without fear of judgement. I have background in working both in community mental health and for a large privately owned mental health organization. I fully believe in the importance in taking a collaborative approach to treating my patients.

I am specializing in treating the mental health of adolescent females and women ages 16 and up. Focused areas of treatment include maternal mental health, post-partum mental health, ADHD treatment, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

I am also focusing on treating healthcare professionals, first responders and busy individuals who often cannot get to an appointment due to their schedule requires working Monday thru Friday until 5pm. I am offering non-traditional appointment times to accommodate those needing a non-traditional appointment time. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated as such.

Hi there, I'm Joleene Watabe. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and I work with clients in Utah, California and Ohio through Telehealth. I am passionate about helping people to live healthy and more fulfilling lives. I work with adolescent and adult clients and specialize in trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, religious/spiritual issues and I am LGBTQ+ friendly. I conduct therapy with a customized approach that uses a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, EMDR, IFS, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I decided to become a therapist after I experienced a traumatic event in my life, went to counseling for myself, and improved my life through therapy. This led me to want to help others to learn the things that I learned. I gained empathy for anybody who has struggles (which is all of us) and developed a passion for helping others to be able to overcome mental illnesses and any self-inflicted suffering. I began my journey to become a counselor by being trained in facilitating grief support groups and soon after went back to graduate school so that I could get licensed as a counselor. I worked in community mental health for several years which included being part of the county crisis team and working with our substance abuse recovery program. I also worked as a therapist through my church. In 2017 my life took a sudden turn when my husband passed away suddenly, which eventually led me to return to a focus of grief and trauma. For the last four years, I have worked through private group practices treating a variety of issues. Being the oldest child, I have a propensity to want to help others. I enjoy helping people to find healing and more peace in their lives.
