Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Toledo, OH covered by Aetna

Hi, I’m Ebony, and I’m truly passionate about my career and the clients I serve. I believe in creating a warm, welcoming environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported. My goal is to make things simple, clear, and comfortable, so you always know you’re in good hands. I’m here to listen, answer questions, and partner with you every step of the way.

You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.

My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with teens (12+) and adults who want down-to-earth, practical help for worry, low mood, poor sleep, and low energy. People come to me when anxiety, panic, persistent sadness, or sleep problems that are starting to get in the way of daily life, work, school, or relationships — or when past treatments didn’t help enough or caused unwanted side effects. I treat anxiety (including panic and OCD), depression, bipolar mood instability, psychosis when medication management is needed, insomnia, and struggles with motivation and energy.

Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when people feel heard without judgment and supported in making meaningful, lasting changes. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in helping clients develop healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and greater resilience in everyday life.

I'm Ana — a bilingual LCSW who's spent the last six years working at the intersection of trauma, addiction, and mental health. I trained in South Florida and have worked in treatment centers in both Florida and Colorado, which means I've sat with people in some of their hardest moments and helped them find their way through. I work with adults and teens, in English and Spanish, and I bring a direct, warm, no-nonsense approach to every session. I'm not here to give you a script or tell you what you "should" feel — I'm here to help you actually figure things out.

I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary (CACREP Accredited). I have completed Levels 1 & 2 of the Gottman Method Therapy for Couples. I have 5 years of experience treating people with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions and relationship issues.

She has worked with a variety of diagnoses such as PTSD, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ADHD. She is specially trained in evidenced based trauma therapy such as EMDR.

I most enjoy empowering clients and helping them reach their goals! I look forward to working with you!

My work in therapy is focused on helping individuals heal from trauma through education, inner healing sessions, interventions, and effective communication techniques. I'll encourage and help enable you to heal from the wounds of dysfunctional families, abusive relationships, and from the mental and emotional distress of narcissistic and codependent relationships.

Here are what some clients have said about me in notes and texts sent to me:

"You have taught me so much about myself...I've worked with many counselors, but you're the first one to ever really understand me...I don't think I'll ever be able to work with anyone else after this".

"The work we have done together has been life changing. I actually knew what to do and say to my sister this past week...it was so rewarding and made me feel free from my past with her."

"I know the first session just happened a few days ago, but I had to text and tell you I learned more from you in that session than in all the years I've been in therapy. It's like you know me. And yes, I've washed my dishes and put them away every day since we met and I can't wait for next week."

" I wish I wasn't moving...I'll never find another therapist like you".

"I appreciate you bringing the best out in me. I was able to (redacted) at our family reunion, just like I did when I was younger and it felt so good to be recognized for myself, my gifts and my contribution to the party. I feel loved again".

"I just hope you know that you are the best therapist in the whole world".

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a compassionate and understanding approach to mental health care. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings, including pediatrics, family medicine, cardiology, correctional health, emergency medicine, and education.

I believe that meaningful care starts with truly meeting patients where they are. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to be your authentic self. Together, we work toward practical, personalized solutions that support your mental and emotional well-being.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, visiting amusement parks, going on cruises, or spending quiet time at home with my husband and our two dogs.
