Terry Pryor

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


I built my practice around a conviction I've held since I started in this field: you are capable of more than the patterns that have been holding you back. My job is to help you see that clearly and give you the tools to act on it.

As a Black male therapist with a supervisor-level license (LPCC-S) and a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT, I bring both clinical depth and lived perspective to my work — particularly for men, for clients navigating trauma and its ripple effects, and for couples trying to understand each other across that pain.

I'm licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania, trained at Youngstown State University, and serve clients via telehealth across both states with flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.
