LGBT therapists in Ohio

Hi! I’m Christina Doss, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) offering flexible daytime, evening, and late-night appointments to make mental health care easier to fit into your life.

I provide medication management + psychotherapy for adults, young adults, adolescents ( 12 + ) throughout Ohio. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD/ADD, depression, depression, mood changes, emotional well-being OCD, C-PTSD, college/academic stress, workplace stress/burnout and concerns related to hormonal changes, including PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum depression (PPD). I also support individuals working through family, marriage, and relationship concerns.

Many people come to treatment during periods of change or uncertainty—college and academic challenges, career transitions, relationship or marriage difficulties, divorce, parenting stress, grief, health concerns, or simply adjusting to a new stage of life.

If you’re feeling mentally exhausted or overwhelmed, or struggling with focus, attention, staying on task, organization, motivation, or getting things done, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. We can work together to identify what’s getting in the way and develop practical tools and treatment strategies personalized to your needs.

As an independent provider, I believe meaningful mental health care starts with feeling heard, seen, and supported. I want you to have a space where you can be yourself, talk openly about what’s happening, and feel actively involved in your treatment.

You are worth it. Schedule an appointment, and together we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, supported, and equipped to live your life to its fullest potential. You don’t have to do it alone.

Taylor Clay, M.A., LPCC is a licensed professional clinical counselor. She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from St. Andrews University and completed her master's degree in mental health counseling from Walsh University. Taylor has been working in various settings in Stark County since 2015. Taylor has experience within hospital emergency rooms, school-based, community crisis, outpatient, and telehealth. Taylor has worked with a wide range of clients ages 5-75. Taylor’s early years in the field were focused on child and adolescents, primarily those in foster care. For the past several years, Taylor has moved to a focus of young adults, adults, and geriatric populations. Taylor is a proud ally to the LGTBQIA+ community.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, best friend, dogs, and family. Taylor is very passionate about helping animals in the community and often finds herself looking for lost dogs on the weekends. She also enjoys being outside, especially in warm weather.

In my work with my clients, I strive to practice radical genuineness, meaning I work hard to connect with you as a real live person. To do this, I share pieces of my life such as my interest in drawing or Dungeons and Dragons, parts of my identity including being a transgender person with ADHD, and how I feel in the room, as in if I feel sad or excited about something we talk about. I have found that being present and transparent with my clients has helped me foster trust and build relationships which have led to feelings of belonging and experiencing meaningful change.

My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Woman’s University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in TX, CO, and PA, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in ME, as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in OH.

Clients often describe me as flexible, laid back, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should meet you where you are, not where you feel you “should” be. I know that finding a therapist and beginning the process can feel overwhelming, so my goal is to make getting started feel as comfortable, supportive, and approachable as possible. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a compassionate and grounded perspective to my work with clients. I earned my master’s degree in 2017 and have worked with a variety of individuals navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and personal growth. My primary clinical experience has focused on adolescents, young adults, and adults, and I strive to create a supportive space where each person feels understood, respected, and empowered in their healing process.
