Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Westlake, OH

I have been in the medical field for over 20 years and have a rather diverse background. The last 6 years I have been in the role of PMHNP. Prior to that an RN in hospice, preceding that was critical care. Prior to becoming a nurse, I worked as an STNA.

With 20 years of experience, I have moved past clinical jargon to focus on what actually works: true empathy and genuine human connection. My practice is built on real-world experience, and I am dedicated to helping people navigate life with clarity and strength.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I also focus on women’s issues, professional burnout, navigating major life transitions, and the art of setting healthy boundaries. I provide a professional, evidence-based approach that remains focused on you as a person.

Hello! Thank you for being here. Reaching out for therapy is incredibly brave but can also be a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping I can help you see your strength and worth while we navigate all the things life throws our way.

I’m Kathy and I have been a social worker for 23 years now. I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for the last 16 years of that time. For the majority of my profession, I have been working in the hospital setting, helping patients find solutions to a wide range of needs. I have seen patients struggle in many different ways in life and helping them has also helped me grow as a social worker.

I am passionate about helping people realize they are capable of more than they think. Everyone deserves to see their worth and I would love to work with you to help you see yours.

Hello, my name is Patty and I am here to remind you that;

You are not your struggles.

Too often, people begin to define themselves by their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, painful experiences, or difficult circumstances. While these challenges are real and deserve attention, they do not define who you are.

I understand that life's journey can include loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions. Yet,.I believe these experiences can also reveal resilience, wisdom, and strengths that may have previously gone unrecognized. Our experiences help shape our stories, but they do not determine how the story ends.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals and couples from a collaborative, compassionate, and relationship-centered perspective. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be open about their experiences and feel supported as they work toward their goals. With individuals, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills for emotional regulation, coping, communication, and healthier patterns of thinking and relating. With couples, I focus on strengthening emotional connection, improving communication, understanding relationship patterns, and helping partners feel more secure and connected to one another. Drawing from EFT and the Gottman Method, I help couples move beyond recurring conflict and develop greater understanding, empathy, and connection.
