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.

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.

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!"

Having the same fight on repeat is exhausting. You know the one, with the same lines, the same tone, and the same ending. Feeling alone in your own relationship is even harder. You're not broken, and you're not the first couple to get stuck.

My focus is couples. I help partners stop the cycle, rebuild trust after infidelity, and reconnect, even when anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, or substance use is part of the picture. I'm on both your sides.

For individual work, my focus is women. Opening up to a man takes trust, and I don't take that for granted. I grew up around women who needed a steady, respectful man in their corner, and I've carried that into my work. With me, you set the pace. You won't be rushed, talked over, or told how to feel. You'll be heard, taken seriously, and supported in ways that fit your life.

I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with a Master's in Counseling from a program whose graduates passed the licensing exam at one of the nation's highest rates, plus a background in substance use counseling. My style is direct, warm, and real. Therapy with me doesn't have to feel clinical or intimidating. It just has to feel worth showing up for.

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 Lakewood

Searching for therapists in Lakewood starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Lakewood therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can show how they describe their style, what concerns they often support, and what you can expect in sessions.

In a smaller city like Lakewood, nearby office options may be limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search while still keeping care within Ohio. You may prefer an in-person therapist near central Lakewood, the lakefront, or nearby Cleveland neighborhoods, or a virtual therapist with appointment times that fit your schedule. Before booking, check whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and has availability that works for you. Reading bios closely can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before choosing a therapist.

Therapy in Lakewood can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you start care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated session cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Lakewood, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
