Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Ohio

It takes real courage to decide you want something to change. Over 28 years, across military

installations, shelters, and community agencies, I have watched people discover capacities

for growth they did not know they had. I believe relationships are the engine of that change:

our brains and bodies are wired for connection, and healing happens in relationship. I create

a space of safety, respect, and authenticity, where you bring the expertise of your own life

and story, and I bring my clinical experience to support the process. I would be honored to

work alongside you.

Hello! My name is Laura. I am a licensed psychologist in Ohio. I received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Cleveland State University, as well as a Master of Arts from Cleveland State in clinical psychology. Through my training and postdoctoral work, I have worked in various clinical settings, including community mental health, hospital, college counseling center, jail and forensic outpatient, and private practice locations.

I think it takes guts to be in psychotherapy. Life is hard and beautiful, & it is always possible to feel better and live a fuller life, I work collaboratively with clients to cope with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, divorce and ADHD. I received my MSW in social work from Boston College and trained on child and family teams in the Boston area.

Hello and welcome! I’m Alex, a Licensed Independent Social Worker who focuses on supporting individuals dealing with stress, depression, and anxiety. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, discover what sparks your motivation, and develop skills to face the tough moments.

I am open and honest with all my clients. I have an LISW and have work in the mental health field since I was 21, starting with working in direct care in a child residential facility, to a Workshop for intellectually disabled adults, assistant to psychologist who performed psychological testing, to 4 years as a therapist. Personally I am married with 2 wonderful children and prefer to read novels on my free time.

I have a special interest in trauma recovery and women's health, including the ways life experiences can affect a woman's emotional well-being, relationships, identity, self-esteem, and sense of purpose. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, addictions, sexual abuse recovery, human trafficking recovery, parenting concerns, relationship and marriage difficulties, and life transitions. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults.

Pastors, Ministry Leaders & Their Families

My personal experience as a pastor's daughter and pastor's wife has given me a unique understanding of the joys and challenges of ministry life. I understand that pastors and ministry leaders often carry significant responsibilities while also trying to care for their marriages, children, families, and congregations. There can be pressure to always be strong, available, and spiritually grounded, even when you are personally struggling.

I have a particular passion for walking alongside pastors, ministry leaders, and their families as they navigate ministry expectations, marriage and family relationships, boundaries, burnout, church conflict, personal struggles, and the challenges of balancing ministry with their own emotional and spiritual well-being. My years of involvement in church leadership and worship ministry have also given me firsthand experience with the unique dynamics of serving within a church community.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to invest in your healing and growth today. Whether you’re a newcomer to therapy/counseling or an experienced client, I feel it’s a brave and wonderful thing to do the work of mental-emotional healing. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, career challenges, LGBTQ+ related issues, grief and loss and trauma disorder such as PTSD.
