Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Toledo, OH

I have been in practice for 25 years as a professional counselor. You are the reason why I continue in the work of a therapist. It is your continuing growth and improvement that is my goal in helping you. You are the expert on your particular situation and it is my job to help you in moving from where you are right now, to where you would like to be as quickly as possible.

Hi, I’m Ozzie (Ohh-Zee) —a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 26 years of experience in healthcare. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, supporting individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and more.

In my practice, I strive to create a warm and collaborative environment where you feel heard and supported. My approach blends therapy and medication management, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. I’m here to help you navigate your journey toward healing and to help you feel more like your true self.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I hold a Master's degree from Edinboro University in Counseling and Art Therapy. I have many years of experience helping families and individuals thrive and grow as an educator, camp director, and therapist. I am certified in EMDR and DBT and have also received advanced training in areas such as IFS, and EFT.

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.

Great to meet you! I am an independently licensed therapist in both Ohio and Florida with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their sense of purpose, strength, and well-being.

Throughout my career as a director, clinical supervisor, and counselor, I have had the privilege of working with clients from all walks of life who are seeking balance, clarity, and growth. I specialize in supporting first responders and military veterans, as well as adults dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, career challenges, grief, addiction, substance abuse, and other mental health difficulties.

My therapeutic style is open, genuine, accepting, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I believe in meeting you where you are—with compassion, respect, and authenticity. Clients often describe me as straightforward yet warm, offering both empathy and honest feedback to help foster meaningful progress.

The first step toward lasting change is acknowledging that a problem exists, and by taking that step, you have already demonstrated courage. I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey. Together, we will confront the obstacles standing in your way, challenge the beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you, and build practical, effective solutions that create real and lasting transformation. You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Change is possible. Healing is possible. A better future is possible—and it begins with the decision you have already made today.

Hi there! My name is Riley Henderson, and I am a licensed independent social worker in the state of Ohio. I have been a practicing social worker since 2023 after graduating with my master's degree in social work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I have a background in crisis management in southeast Ohio working with children and families through the court system, school system and more to create safety and stability together. I currently work as a therapist for those experiencing life's challenges no matter how big or small.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with a clinical background that spans psychiatry, addiction medicine, primary care, detoxification and recovery services, chronic pain management, and complex medical care. That range of experience has shaped the way I practice today: mental health concerns are rarely viewed in isolation, because emotional well-being, physical health, sleep, stress, relationships, medications, past experiences, and everyday life often influence one another.

I provide individualized psychiatric care for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, trauma-related concerns, substance use disorders, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and other behavioral health concerns. Care may include comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of approaches based on your symptoms, history, preferences, and treatment goals.

My background includes years of caring for patients with overlapping psychiatric, medical, and substance-related conditions in outpatient, telehealth, detox, and residential treatment settings. I have experience managing psychotropic medications, providing medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, evaluating safety and psychiatric risk, supporting patients through withdrawal and recovery, and collaborating with therapists, physicians, case managers, and other members of the treatment team when coordinated care is needed.

Before focusing more extensively on behavioral health, I spent years in chronic pain care, where I evaluated complex medical histories, reviewed diagnostic testing, managed chronic conditions, and worked closely with specialists and primary care teams. That experience continues to inform my psychiatric practice.

I believe the most effective care comes from a strong, collaborative partnership. I approach each person as more than a diagnosis, and I value honesty, accountability, and mutual respect in the work we do together. Change is possible—I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’m here to support you in becoming the version of yourself you want to be. My background includes both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nursing from Walsh University, and I bring that clinical foundation into thoughtful, individualized care.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), I work with adolescents and adults. My clinical focus is treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, adjustment disorders and personality disorders. My therapeutic approach is integrative and strength-based, incorporating Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral and Psychotherapy. I have over 13 years of experience in crisis counseling and private practice, and I am committed to helping clients develop effective coping skills and move toward more meaningful, balanced lives.
